FRIDAY (TELEG RAPHlcj
PAUL IN DUTCH"
WITH COURT

kETCHIKAN. Feb. 27th. (Ry- Creating a situation unique in Alaska jurisprudence, Wm. Paul. the Ketchikan attorney, has filed an affidavit of prejudice in the U S. District Court against Judge Justin Harding, formerly U. s. At torney here and recently elevated to the Federal bench, and now holding court here.
 The prejudice affidavit was made by Paul's client, Maxfeld Dalton. who pleaded guilty in the Com missioner's court to illegal fishing at Craig, Alaska. last August and was fined four hundred dollars Saturday.
 Paul narrowly escaped contempt of court proceedings when Judge Harding called for a hearing on the petition which Paul had sign ed and filed asking for a writ of review in the Dalton case. In the petition. he alleged among other things, that the [. s. Attor- ney, who at the time in question was Harding, threatened Dalton with the loss of his boat and other persecution unless he pleaded guilty. When Paul refused to summon Dalton tn give testimony haN Nly irn 1,. f~~ of review, Howard Stabler, the present District Attorney put Dal- tor on the stand and under questioning. Dalton denied most of the allegations in Paul's peti-- tion, including the one that he had been threatened by the U. S. Attorney
 When Judge Harding asked Paul if he had any statement to make. Paul took the stand and apologized, saying that he beliey- ed the statements contained in his petition to have been correct. but now asked permission to file an amended petition. The Judge granted permission but retained the original petition and testi- mony and took the whole matter under advisement.
 In the affidavit of prejudice filed by Paul today. 1t revealed that the Alaska Native Brotherhood. of which is president, In convention at Sitka last November. passed resolutions which were filed with the Judiciary Committee of the U. s. Senate, which was then con- sidering the Harding judicial ap- pointment. Paul charged in con- versation between him and Hard ing last Tuesday Harding said he resented the resolution and held Paul responsible for 1t. The bro therhood resolution was based on the cases of five men with illegal fishing. one of whom was Dalton. After the prejudice affidavit was filed Judge Harding announced that he would say nothing about the matter at present.

once more the almost morose young
woman of my earlier recollection. She
neglected even her duties as hostess,
scarcely once addressing either Rachel
or me. Martin Hews seemed quite con-
tent to monopolize the conversation.
He gave us dissertation upon minia-
ture painting. He quoted all the mas
ters from the sixteenth century and
explained why this particular art had
languished rather than progressed dur
ing the Renaissance.
