On the second ground, the court ruled that it was immateriaI under the statute, but on the first ground ruled that it was simply & question for the jury whether or no' a floating fish trap was such as was covc"od ari contemplated by the statute above set forth. A, H, Hicg- lcr. attoncy for defendants. took the position that in as much as the above law was passed in 1906, before floating traps were in operation in Alaska, congress did not intend to classify floating traps with fixed driven traps. and that therefore, the defendants were not guilty The jury after being instructed by the court that it was for them to decide wheth- CT or not a floating fish trap was fixed fishing appliance within the meaning of the law practically held that it was not and found a verdict of not guilty,
