Both the famous flying Colonel

came to a graceful landing after
soaring in from across the barren
lake dotted wastes over which they
had flown through the northern
twilight night. Although the trip
was made almost entirely at night
they had flown through only about
two hours of darkness. that being
the length of the nights in the far
northland at this season Of the

Trappers, traders and Indians and
Eskimos were among the excited
crowd of northlanders who greeted
to Aklavik Americas most famous

Carl Sturzenacker, OF municipal
court, granted Clark bail at pre-
liminary hearing and that the con-
ditionS were the same now as then,
brought a testy word from Judge
Murray.
What I can't understand" Judge
Murray said with some force, is,
if the committing magistrate had
any doubt as to whether this man
was guilty of murder. why should
he have held him to answer to the
superior court? And if the magis-
trate considered him guilty Of mur-
der why did he allow rim bail on a
non -bailable offense?"
The fact that Clark was granted
bail on the double murder charge
was considered unusual at the time
as was the ease in which he raised
100000 bail although he presum-
ably had little or no money or
property.
To offset the advantage gained
/ by remanding Clark to custody his
attorneys asked that the prosecu-
tor be forced to amend his COM
plant and charge Clark at this trial
with the murder of Crawford as
well as with the Staying Of Spencer.
This motion was denied by the
court after another heated fight.
! From the first the defense sought
/ to have him tried at one time for
both offenses while the prosecution
sought to separate them. The state
admitted its procedure had in view
! the gaining of knowledge OF Clark S
line of defense by trying him on
one count first and using infOrma-
ton then gained in a trial for the
! Crawford Staying.
In the course of his argument
against the motion to force both
counts into one trial, Ford admitted
that the question of trial on the
Crawford Staying woud be up to the
grand jury.
IF Clark's story at this trial is
reasonable, we are willing to let the
grand jury decide if it is a valid
defense and if he should go TO trial
on the second charge" Ford said.
One of the :irst witnesses called
bv the state was Mrs. Charles
/ Crawford, widow Of the slain poll
tician.
She said that her husband had
had numerous guns and that he
carried one of them on occasions.
She said she felt certain he did not
have a gun with him the day he
was mortally wounded.
This testimony was designed by
the state to help prove its conten-
ton that neither Crawford nor
Spencer were armed at the time
they were shot down.
The widow was dressed in black
and obviously was under a great
strain as she testified.
Mrs. Crawford still was on the
stand under cross questioning as
noon adjournment was taken.
She admitted to Clark's attorneys
that her attorney, Harold Buddy"
Davis, one-time associate in the
district attorneys office with Clark,
and Joe Ford had access to her
house between the time her hus-
band was shot and the time she
located all OF his guns.
