FAIRBANKS JURY FREES EO OLSON
 IN RECORD TIME

The trial of Ed Olson, on the charge of manufacturing and selling booze, which occupied the time of Commissioner Reed Heilig, at Fair. banks, on Saturday and Monday, terminated in an acquittal last eve ming, the jury being out only long enough to take vote It was the hardest fought case of the kind ever tried at Fairbanks, and incl dentally furnished much amusement for the big crowd of spectators constantly in attendance. One of the spectators, who arrived in Ne. mana today. says he had to leave the courtroom toward the end of the trial, for fear that he would be cited for contempt for laughing.
 Both United States Attorney Roth. who directed the prosecution. and his assistant. E. Coke Hill, were called to the stand yesterday and subjected to rigorous cross-eXam- ination by Attorney Marquam, for the defense About the only evi- dence of the manufacture of booze was the plan of a still said to have been manufactured by the Samson Hardware company. The manufac ture of such an apparatus was ad mitted, but the witnesses did not know for whom it was made. Neith CT was it known who provided the money for making the still, al though the makers admitted having been paid The money was handed to them in an envelope.
 Every effort to connect Olson with the still, or with the booze alleged to have been made, failed, as is indicated by the verdict returned by the jury.
 It is reported however that the authorities are not through with tn" case, and that other arrests will follow shortly. ..".a .= |
