 Poor Fishing Season
 Louis Wigg, the first defendant placed on the stand, said that he had been born in Wrangell and had lived here all his life That he was married and had three children. He gave his occupation as a seiner but works at anything he can get to do. A poor fishing season mad added to his financial troubles, he said and he was desperate when, finding that Moore and Harto were going up the Stikine on a moose hunt, he asked to go along. He could not get credit at the stores for his share of gro- ceries, he said but Moore told him to come along, anyway. Wigg, with onlyI his blankets, extra boots and a bor- rowsd Army 3O-40 Kraig rifle forI himself and another gun he borrow ed for Harto, joined the party which, left Wrangell September 18th.
 Moore and Wigg left in Moore'sI boat, a little scoW with outboardI motor; on Harto's boat were Billy Moore, a minor, and Jimmie Thomp-l son. The party camped on Cotton-I wood island that night, spent two nights on Little Andrew creek and Thursday night at Shakes cabin, go- ing on Friday to Clearwater, or Red slough, as it is frequently called. Saturday morning they started the days hunt with Wigg and Moore nthe latter's boat and young MooreI and Thompson went off in another direction. Moore, senior, did not take his gun but had fishing tackle.
 Shot Two Moose
 They went up the slough regard less of the boundary and as WiggI was sounding with an oar he was not sure, he said, they were on Canadian soil. They tied up at the bank and he left the boat to look around. Seeing two moose, he be- gan shooting, firing IA or 15 shots; one moose going off into the brush, he concentrated OR the second and brought it down. Moore came up and butchered the moose lying there, while Wigg went off to investigate sounds in a nearby willow and alder thicket. There he found the first moose down unable 10 rise. It had been shot in the haunch and to put it out of it's misery. Wigg put shot through it's head. The men quar- tered up the moose. Moore slashed a trail down to the slough and they dragged the four quarters of one moose to the scow, and the tongues, hearts and flyers of both, all the load the little scow could carry. Moore stayed behind to rest while Wigg took the meat to camp where Harto helped him bring it up the bank and then went back with him to bring out the second moose.

 "Sarber wanted Us to take the meat to camp" he continued, and Moore asked who was going to get it: Sarber said it would be confis- cated, so Moore said in that case he was not going to have any more to do with it. Sarber said, If you don't take it down I'll turn you over to the Canadian Mounties and you won't see your families for year. said we might just as we'll take it down, that there was no use in getting into any more trouble than we were in.'
