A.tempt TO Take seItz Hearing From
Jury Falls and Certain Testi-
mcny Re-
3sf5 mains.
IS SOME CORRoBORATIoN
,udoe Bank, After Study Of Authori-
ties, Holds That Jury Is Judge
Of Extent Of This
substantiation.

Motions made by the defense In
the case of the state vs. Seitz, to
take the case from the jury on the
grounds that there was not sufficient
corroboration to convict Seitz, and
also to strike testimony Of Carroll
Taber, e. w. McManus and Samuels
were overruled by the court this aft
/ ernoon. Judge Bank announced his
ruling at the opening Of court this
/ afternoon. The defense will begin
testimony at once.
The motion to take the case from
the Jury and to strike certain testi
mony was made yesterday morning at
10 o'clock. The entire time since
then has been consumed by the arg.
ments Of the attorneys. and the cita'
ton OF cases in the effort to prove
their contentious.
The court said that the question IN
the motion was whether there wa,
evidence to corroborate the testimony
of the accomplice Armstrong tending
to connect the defendant with the
charge Reading from the examina
ton Of Armstrong. the court said he
Rad testified that Seitz told him that
II he could get the jewelry he had q
good friend in Hot Springs, ]. G.
Bohls. and that he could send to him
and get cash and never get caught.
Some Confederation Given.
This conversation, It was said took
place before Armstrong blrglarized
the premises. The evidence OF corro-
boration Is that he did send jewels to
Bohls. AS to the matter of identified.
ton the court held that there must
not be any confusion between identi.
ncation in larceny cases or In cases
where the defendant is accused OF re.
ceiving stolen property.
In burglary the question Of identif.
cation was not SO important. because
there might be breaking and entering
without the theft. In larceny there
must be identification.
The meeting in the park which
Armstrong told about was held to
have been corroborated to certain
extent. The statement that Seitz was
said to have made in which he said
he would send the Jewels from Ham:
ilton, and then said he had changed
his mind, and would send them from
Fort Madison. was corroborated 1t
was held by testimony q certain wit
nesses, and the letter mailed Bohls.
There was certain confederation,
also in regards the money received IL
the draft which was introduced as "A
exhibit.
According to the one, hundred hf-
teenth Iowa 1t is SUFFICIENT IL there is
corroboration Of some material part
in the accomplice's testimony. Wheth-
er this confederation Is carried
through must be up to the jury to
decide.
The defense excepted to the ruling
OF the court. The jury was called
back into the box and the defense
asked that its witnesses be subpoe-
naed. 1t is probable that certain char
acter witnesses will be introduced by
the defense.

NOME, ALAskA, JAN. %, 1si4.

Town In Seattle they have just held |, general celebration over the pas x..ge of the railroad bill and from tho tone of the speeches mad" at the banquets and on other occasions there can bc no doubt about Seattlc's opin- ion of the future of Alaska.
 Seattle predicts an instant and won tl4.rful development for this Iand of .urs and Seattle Is looking at the matter from the standpoint of her own opportunities to share in the prosper ity that will ocme along with the de- "clopment.
 II may be a little hard for us to realize here in Nome just what all of tl.is Alaska talk on the outside is do- Ing and what 1t will mean. We are ,, good deal cut off and we have not been in the habit of figuring very far ahead. It is timc now. right now. for us to begin to look into mat tcrs and see what we are going to get out of all of this.
 No sane man can sit idly by and say u at every other part of the territroy |, going to derive benefit from this new movement towards the north anu tl.at Nome will stand still and nut feel the impetus 10 move forward with ti.o other sections.
 Whether we do anything M not Meme will feel the spurt of life with the opening of navigation. It Is one of those things that cannot be helped.
 But 1t will be criminal. 1t will show a lack Of initiative and cnrgy that will brand US as . lot of dead ones. if we do not at least attempt to divert some of the stream of prosperity. that h even now preparing to enter tn" territory. in our direction.
 How are we going to do this? What means have we for calling the attention of the people on the outside tn the land of which Nome is the nat utai center and supply station"
 Next summer is not the time ta think about these things. Next sum. mer people will be on their way to Alaska and they are even now decid- ,ng where In Alaska they will head fer.
 Do the people who are turning over In their minds the possibilities and prospects know anything about Nome and why they should come here: iiave we anything to attract men and money hcc? If we have are we going {. sit stln until everybody has de- cided to 70 to some other place and invest before we get together and sssrt something:
 Nobody ever wanted to go to a dead town. If va do mt make some sort ct noise in all of this Alaska jam horr~ that is goIng on In the t'nited
