JEALOUSY I OLD
IN ALASKAN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5
GN.S0 "A story of flaming love
and mad jealouSies. brought to
climax in a burst Of gun play
in front of a trapper's cabin
in the far north, was recounted
here recently in the United States
Court of Appeals.
The grim tragedy, which was
enacted near Kodiak, Alaska, on
September IL, 1928, was revived
in detail when Attorney Anthony
j. Dimond appeared in Circuit
Court to plead that the verdict
of manslaughter against Karl
Armstrong be set aside.
Called Him bad Man"
Armstrong, 57-year-old trapper,
who had spent 35 years muShing
the frozen trails of the north
country, was found guilty of
shooting to death Eric Dahlberg,
described as a bad man." whom
he accused of betraying his wife.
Armstrong returned home from
a tour of his trap lines, records
of the case reveal, and as he
trudged up the trail toward his
cabin at dusk, he saw Dahlberg
emerge from the front door.
II didn't say anything to him,
when he saw me he swore-and
then he charged me like a Kodiak
BEAR" Armstrong testified.
Shot Three Times
II pulled my gun and when he
was about IL feet from me, l
fired. I shot three times and the
last time he dropped"

Attorney Dimond came from

BLAMED
FOR ROBBERY

in bills and $500 diamond ring
as he was about to close his shop
in the 800 block Tenth st. N. w..
George Kapsaly. 46. a barber, is
believed by police to be the. VIC
tim Of liquor feud.
Kapsaly was closing his shop
when three men entered. SUD
denly one of hts customers =
stepped up behind him, grabbed
his. two rams and trussed them,
with a short piece of rope.
The other two then swung into
action and slugged the tied man.
Kapsaly told police all he re-
membered was that he was struck
down and robbed.
He was taken to Emergency
Hospital where after treatment
for a possible fracture of the jaw
and severe decorations, he was re-
leased at his own request.
Kapsaly was taken into police
custody, March 26 at his shop on
charges involving the sale of
three drinks and possession of
five quarts of liquor. The sale
charges have been dropped since,
but he will have jury trial on
the possession charges.
He furnished police with the
description of two of his assail-
ants, who police say, are ap-
parently the same pair that a
short time ago created a reign Of
terror by a series of chain store
robberies.

VOTE NOT LOST
IN CENSUS LIST

Residents of Washington who
maintain voting residence else
where are not disqualified as
voters, if the census enumerators
list them with their Washington
address.
There has been much misun-
derstanding on this point, accord
ing to j. Sterling Moran, super
visor of the census for Washing
ton. Some local people have re-
fused to give their residence as
washington in cases where they
maintain voting residence in one
of the States.
The census officials declared
that regardless of the where
abouts of a persons legal voting
residence, if Washington is his
usual place of abode" he will
be listed as a washington resi-
dent. The only exceptions to
this law are members of the
Senate and House and their Sec
retaries, who may give their own
States.

man without a country" This
apparently means little except to
contribute to taxes for the up
keep of the Federal City.
Being in this situation I am
at a loss to the proper persons to
call attention to the subject which
wish to call to your attention
regarding a site for an airport.
My purpose in writing to you is
that I hope you would call it to
the attention Of the proper
authorities, at least for investi-
cation.
Over in Congress Heights, one
of the highest points in Wash
ington, there is a large tract Of
land belonging to the Federal
Government. This land at pres
ent is being utilized as a farm.
ing tract for the benefit Of ST..
Elizabeth's Hospital. This .ract
represents a nuisance 10 Cne resi-
dents of Congress Heights as a
farm during seasons Of the year
that fertilizer is placed on the
soil as well as unsightly under
growing crops.
It would require a great deal
less expense to place this tract in
condition for an airport, than
any sites as yet proposed, and
as the Government now owns the
land it would not be chargeable
to the citizens Of the District,
should our friends on the Hill get
a spell of kindheartedness, and
donate it for this purpose.
Trusting you may find this sug-
gestion of interest and advan-
tageous to the citizens Of the
District and that we may some
day eventually get an airport, /
