 Coach Peter Hautala is starting his strongest Crimson Bears to- night, with Lefty Smith and Ralph Bardi at forward, Ken Webster, center, and Walter Scott and H.

Tine lads show more confidence and ability than the island community has seen in several seasons, and with the High School band and yell-leaders ready to go, should give tonight's game all the color of tournaments of several years ago.

1 The case of Harry DeGroot charged with first degree murder in connection with the staying of Abe Hanson at Chichagof in 1883 was given to the jury in the Fed eral District Court at 11:55 o'clock today.
 The 50-minute court session this morning was occupied with Judge George F. Alexander's instructions to the jurors, and the several ex- captions and amendments made. The trial was concluded late yes- terday afternoon when Assistant District Attorney George w. Folta
 The jurors have been instructed to return a sealed verdict if they should reach a decision when Court is not in session.
 DeGroot was convicted of second degree murder here on November 10, 1883 for the staying of Hanson in March of that year, and was sen fenced to 20 years. The Circuit Court of Appeals over-ruled the de- cision, however, and ordered the defendant given new trial. Yer diets ranging from complete ac- quittal to the death penalty may be returned by the present jury
 Self-Defense Scored
 In his closing argument to the jurors late yesterday, Folta declared that there was no evidence of self defense in the staying, and empha- sized the point that DeGroot as sertedly did not see Hanson itach for a gun just before he killed him The threats allegedly made by the ! victim against DeGroot would not alone constitute sufficient basis for self-defense, the prosecutor claimed
 Several alleged contradictions be- tween the accused mans testimony at the first and second trials, ano asserted omissions in his origina, statement, were vigorously stressed by the government attorney Ht asked the jurors to consider the tes- timony as indicating that the shoot ing of Hansen was the -bloodee murder of man of peaceable char acter
 No Compromise" Closing the case for the defense Attorney H. L. Faulkner pleaded with the jury not to return com promise verdict.
 If any crime was committed" ht declared, it was murder in the frs degree"
 MT. Faulkner claimed that hi client was justified in shooting Han sen because his own life apparent ly was in danger, and said tha DeGroot was within his rights il acting quickly because of the Ire peated threats made against hir ! by the deceased, and the bad rep utation" of the latter.
