Assistant District Attorney, Holzheimer appeared for the prescott ion andb rought out enough evidence of a breech of the law that justified the court to hold the defendant to ans wer before the grand jury. His bond bail was fixed at $500, and in default thereof, he was committed to the GUS tody of the Marshal.
 The second case was that of the United States vs Clifford Raymond, charged with assault and battery upon a woman Assistant District Attorney Holzheimer again appeared for the prosecution while Attorney Winston, appeared for the defense
 The case was tried before a jury of twelve men, who after having heard ali the evidence offered. retired and after a short consultation. returned a verdict of guilty" recommending that the court give the defendant the limit of the law. The court sentenced Ray mond to pay fine of $500 and serve six months in the federal jail, to which the defendants attorney gave notice of appeal.
 Speaking of the case, MT. Holzheim. CT, explained that he had no axe to grind and did not think that he had an enemy in Ketchikan. Nevertheless since he had been appornred 10 his office to enforce the law and justice those found breaking the law or doing an injustice to another would find hel in Ketchikan with him as the fireman They must either behave or move" is the way he expressed himself.
