FURTHER PROBE OF DEATH IS RECOMMENDED COIAOI‘.('I' $ Jul‘_\' Asks InVPS- tigation of Mrs. Sum- 3 dum’s Passing A recommendation - that further 3 investigation be made into the death | of Mrs. Peter Sumdum, and that her husband be held for questioning, was returned late yesterday by the cor- oner’s jury weighing the case. The jurors heard evidence in the case all yesterday in the U.'S. Com- missioner’s Court, with Peter Sum- dum himself put on the stand late in K the afternoon. g Sumdum denied any implication with his wife’'s death on the night of January 11 at the village of Sum- dum, saying that he was asleep on the floor by the stove at the time of the tragedy. His testimony was large- ly corroborated by that of his 11- year-old son, Charles, who described his parents drinking bout that led to the native woman’s death. Dr. W. P. Blanton, who performed an autopsy, and Dr. J. P. Mayer, phy- sician with the Coast Guard Cutter 3 Taillapoosa, told the jurors that thn‘ : woman’s death was directly attrio u e to freezing, but that she had been severely beaten before her death. Mrs, Sumdum was found dead on the porch of her home on the morning of January 12. Jurors hearing the case were: M A. Snow, B. H. Berthol, John Mc- Closkey, J. G. Morrison, M. H. Trues- dell and John McLaughlin. A Funeral services for Mrs. Peter Sumdum will be held in the chapel at the C. W. Carter Mortuary at 1‘ o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff will officiate and interment will be in Evergreen Cemetery. - e | LLGION AUXILIARY MEETS THIS EVENING Intimete glimpse i | day Ball, to be held in Juneau on T4 charges against Billie | Harry Samoto over money allegedly i A social meeting will be held by | the eveninz of January 30, was an- | 1anson, Juneay native, was grant- | due for repairs to a gas boat was the American Legion Auxiliary in | nounced today by Collector of Cus-|2d this morning by District Judge | being argued before Judge Alex- the Dugout this evening, according toms James J.
