ROGERS JUNEAU
 BOUGHT RAINCOAT
 SEEN AT WRECKAGE

When Will Rogers was in Juneau last summer he bought two rain- coats. Wiley Post asked him Why TWO coats?" and he replied, Be- cause am going somewhere else If was going to stay here would buy THREE coats.'
 One of those raincoats-blood- stained and tattered-was lying near the wrecked red plane in which Rogers and Post fell to their death near Point Barrow, last September when Capt. s. T. L. Whitlam of the North Sea. now in port here, visited the scene of the accident.
 Capt. Whitlam talked with natives who observed the fatal crash. They spoke of the red plane alighting on the lagoon and of the two white men who asked the way to Point Barrow. Took off plenty quick, they said, illustrating by sign lan- guage fast banking turn. Engine go put-put-put and stop. Him come down quick"
 The plane has since been removed to Point Barrow. Capt. Whitlam in- spected the scene of the. crash to determine what equipment would be necessary to load it aboard the North Star in the event that he received instructions to take the plane to the States. He did not receive such instructions.

 dor Lack, Evidence
MOTION TO RELEASE
 OTHER "A DENIED
Defense Will Begin Pres entation of Case on
 Friday Morning

Ed Engberg, one of the 25 defend- ants indicted for alleged rioting on Lower Front Street last June 24, won acquttal today when Federal Judge George F. Alexander upheld motion of defense counsel to di- rect verdict acquitting Engberg for lack of evidence. The Court held that Engberg's name had only been mentioned twice in the presentation of the Governments case and that in those instances he had not been definitely identified as one of the alleged participants. One witness pointed to Mentur Peterson, another defendant, as man he thought was Engberg and later reversed himself by designating to Engberg.
 Motion for acquittal of the other 24 defendants for lack of evidence was denied by the court and trial in their defense will be started Fri day morning at 10 o'clock when court reconvenes after the Thanksgiving holiday.
 Government Rests
 The Government rested its case against the defendants yesterday afternoon after calling 84 witnesses in support of the riot charges. Mo- tion was immediately made by de- fense counsel, as the Government rested, for a directed verdict of acquittal, Howard Stabler, counsel for Defendants Bill Taroff and George Kodzoff, arguing for his clients and Defense Counsel Irwin Goodwin presenting arguments in support of the motion in behalf of the other men. The jury was ex- cused during the arguments and again was excused this morning until Friday while arguments were made against the motion for &C., quittal by Assistant District Att torney George w Folta.
 After h caring the arguments, Judge Alexander ruled the Govern ment's evidence was sufficient to support the riot charge with the exception of the defendant Eng berg. The latter, who is at liberty under 1000 bond, will be released and his bond discontinued.
 Reiterates Position
 In ruling on the motion for a di- rected verdict, the Court took oc- casion to comment on the para graph in the motion which referred to prejudice Judge Alexander reit- erated that he has no interest in the case other than to see that all defendants are given a fair and impartial trial. There is no pre- judice on the part of the court" he stated. Tn fact, the court has leaned backwards in it's effort to see that every man has fair and impartial trial
 Court was adjourned shortly be- fore noon today until Friday when the defense will begin presentation

Mr.. Grossart took office for his
third term Jan. l. and on Jan. 16,
left for Florida where he has spent
the 81 days since then.
But the commissioners intend to
ask Fabian w. Biemer, Chief
Deputy Auditor, why his office in
1888 approved a statement from the
Commercial for $28277O for publish
ing 12,759 items, and at the same
time approved a statement from The
Indianapolis News for only $4,000
for the identical service rendered
by the Commercial.
That year, the Legislature declared
a moratorium on such sales and
the News billed the county only for
the cost of labor of setting the
notices into type.
They never were published in
either paper. Nevertheless, the Com
mercial billed the county for
S3827.7O, or 30 cents an item if they
