 Declaring that we hadn't been advised of such plans, we natural ly asked the source of his informa- tion.
 Why" he replied, when the Governor and Henry Roden were up here recently they promised me that job"
 MT. Boyle at the time was in failing health and for some time before his death had been serious- ly considering retiring.
 When the. Legislature met short Iy thereafter, no Auditor was aD- pointed but the declared illegal re- organization act was passed which provided for the election of an Auditor for six years by the Leg islature. Even under this act the lawmakers took no further action.
 Result: Moore continues to be the Auditor of Alaska; does a very capable job of 1t, and no doubt will run for election come next year as provided for under the old law. The dope has it that Ernest already is grooming a candidate to run against him. despite his pet reorganization bill which was aim ed to give the Governor, a federal appointee, control over fiscal af- ialrs of the Territory.

Folta had to rule when he was visiting judge on the bench in the Third Division, An chorage, was one involving Alaska Airlines in which it lost the ac- tton. Rep.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1e. 1881

Efforts by Defense Attorney
James j. Laughlin to have the
court order a lie detector test of
James A. Rigsbee were ruled out
by District Court Judge Edward
M. Curran today.
Rigsbee is being tried for first
degree murder in the two-year-
old Staying of Joseph H. Chg Joe)
Scheve, Washington gambler, in a
Ninth street pool room.
In answer to Mr.. Laughlin's
proposal for lie test, Judge Cur
ran replied, We'll. suppose give
1t to him. What could I do with
it? I couldn't admit 1t as evi-
dence."
Psychologist Testifies.
Mr.. Laughlin, while admitting
that up to now such tests have
been inadmissible here, he stated
there is always a first time" and
declared that he would like to see
the issue reteSted.
At this point, Prosecutor John
D. Lane objected to the line of
argument as irrevelant, and Judge
Curran sustained him, cutting off
further debate on the topic.
Earlier, Dr. E. Y. Williams, How
ard University neurologist and
psychologist. testified that in his
belief the defendant suffered an
Irresistible impulse" at the time
Of the Staying and didn't know
the difference between right and
wrong"
Or. williams last night ex-
amined Rigsbee in a District Court
cell at the behest of Attorney

Three psychiatrists testified yes
terday. They were DR.. Christo-
pher T. Bever. of the Mont

Clinic, who first examined
Rigsbee 10 days after Schevel
was shot on December 10,I
1949; DR.. William G. Cushard, of
st. Elizabeth Hospital. and DR..
Robert H. Groh, Washington psy-
chiatrist who examined Rigsbee at
the request Of the court, Monday
night.
With the courtroom resounding
to words like "psychosis.'' 'neu-
rosis," "phobias," irresistible i'm
pulses" and alteration" and
similar jargon, the witnesses
agreed. in general, that Rigsbee
was probably not insane at the
