three months Imprisonment in the
Federal Jail and placed each of
them under $1,000 bail until they
could be given a preliminary hear

This action grew out of testi-
mony given by the three men in
the case against Harris earlier this
week when he was on trial before
Judge Reed charged with robbing a
fish trap near Tenakee Inlet. The
testimony, which Judge Reed held
to be deliberately false, sought to
establish an alibi for Harris. AS
other witnesses were implicated in
the attempt to establish the alibi,

jury charges would be filed by the
United States Attorney before the
matter was closed. However, no
official statement was made in, this
