She told of repeated threats she said he had made against DeGroot and one instance of Hanson drawing a revolver as if to shoot him when she intervened and prevented vio- lence. According to her story her hus- band was brow-beaten and sub- jected to humiliation and menace during his entire stay of two da) at Hanson's ace. On one oc- casion, she said, Hanson declared she and her husband knew “too much about my business (moon- shining and bootlegging) and I am going to kill you both.” Sticks To Story She held up well under cross examination and maintained ber | story of frequent threats made by | Hanson. Asked if she had gonej | to Chichagof under an assumed | name, she denied it. | | But this morning she was re- | called to the stand by her hus-| {band's counsel and admitted she| | had assumed the name of Jose-| | phine Garner when she left Ju- neau in August, 1932, a short time | after she and her husband came! here. She said she did it to tect her husband’s name as she | was desperate and intended, if she couldn't find legitimate employ- | ment at Chichagof, to go into the bootlegging game.

After two days of intimidation by Hanson, he said, he had given in and promised Hanson if he would take him to Chichagof on his boat, he would return to Ju- neau on the Wa Wa and leave his wife with Hanson. However, he claimed, he and Mrs. DeGroot had already arranged she was to leave Hanson at the first opportunity. Tells of Shooting He gave a graphic story of the shooting.
