LOVE TRIANGLE BAREDTOJURY BY MRS. IBACH Spectators Excluded from Court Today as Defend- ant Tells Her Story In a courtroom cleared of spec- tators, Winifred Ibach, co-defend- ant with her husband, Horace Ibach, in the triple-charge case now being tried in U. S. District Court here, took the witness stand this morning to tell her story of how she had been forced to submit to the attentions of the complain- ing witness, Cecil W. Hubbard. Mrs. Ibach was still on the stand today when noon recess was taken, and had reached that point in her testimony dealing with the events of the day on which the crimes are alleged to have occurred. The witness' testimony this morning was long-drawn, with repeated ad- monitions by the Court to confine her answers to actions that had occurred. The Court made this rul- ing in response to objections to the witness’ repeating of conver- sations which , the Government averred, were self-serving. Spectators were excluded from the Court during Mrs. Ibach's tes- timony at the request of Defense Counsel Howard D. Stabler. The request was granted by Judge George F Alexander. Government Attorneys Robert; Jérnberg and Robert Tollefson ! [rested their case this forenoon,’ |following the testimony of 11 wit- I nesses. Those called as prosecution witnesses included Ernie Swanson, operator of a store in Elfin Cove, and the mail boat Elfin II, on which the alleged victim of the ‘crimcs was brought to Juneau |after his purported release from captivity by the defendants. Others were: Don McLean, Matin Dahl, Marguerite Butts, George Nolde, all of Elfin Cove; Deputy U. S. Mar- shal Walter Hellan; Nels Bjerkness, fisherman; Oliver T. Mansfield, and Amy Lou Blood. Mr. Mansfield and Miss Blood identified pictures of Hubbard’s burned gasboat, which were offered in evidence. The complainant, Hubbard, whose testimony opened the Government's case, was also recalled to the stand today to assist in the identification. The defense opened by recalling the witness Ernie Swanson, for questioning regarding a letter de- livered to Mr. Ibach which At- torney Stabler has declared his |intent to offer as evidence. The writer of the letter has not been disclosed, but it is purported to have conveyed to Mr. Ibach the information that his home was being threatened by Mr. Hubbard. Defense motions for directed ver- dicts of acquittal for both defend- ants were denied by Judge Alex- ander. Mr. Stabler contended in his motions that Mrs. Ibach had not been shown to be sufficiently r— S e Yow’ll Feel As Young As Tomorrow n THE DAILY ALASKA EMP] [RE—JUNEAU, ALASKA connected with the alleged crimes and that there was not sufficient evidence against Mr. Ibach. The Court, however, ruled that Mrs. Ibach had been shown to have been a “very active participant.” | At the close of her testimony this | morning, Mrs. Ibach admitted | having written a letter to Hubbard, | which the Government had pre-| sented as having induced the latter | to come to the place where, it is alleged, the crimes transpired. Mrs. | Ibach declared she wrote the letter | asking Hubbard to call at the Ibach' home at Dundas Bay in order to inform him that their relatiénship must be terminated. Mrs. Ibach’s testimony was to be completed following cross-examina-/ tion this afternoon, and it was presumed that Mr. Ibach would next be called in his own defense. - INSTRUCTIVE TALKS + GIVEN AT MEETING OF P-TA LAST NIGHT | Interesting and instructive tal were made last evening by Mrs. Scott Murphy and E. L. Keithahn at the meeting of the Parent-Teacher | Association, in the Juneau High School Auditorium. | Mrs. Scott, speaking on the subject of “Leadership-Followship”, stressed the fact that instruction of children in the qualities which will develop intelligent followers is one of the most important factors in the edu- cation of our youth today and is a challenge to both teachers and par- ents. “It is from the intelligent follow- ers our leaders will come,” Mrs. |Murphy told her audience, adding; {that it behooves both parents and teachers to teach youth that intelli- gent followers are individuals who lask questions and insist on an in- |telligent understanding before ac-! 'cepting a standard to follow. In- telligent followers will insist on in-| | telligent leaders. Leaders are those individuals who' are interested in others and their }wcllare. as the welfare of others is |the concern of the world today. A leader is one who makes others en- | thusiastic about doing what he |wants them to do for him, the |speaker said. Leaders are not neces- sarily the man out in front, but the| Isteps in ways of righteousness and ROTARY CLUB HEARS BRIG. TAYLOR TALK ON S. A. CAMPAIGN The weekly meeting of the Rotary Club was held at 12 noon in the Gold | Room of the Baranof Hotel withi. | President Jack FletcHer presiding. Chairman of the Day — “Doc” K. G. Merritt presented a very interesting and entertaining program for his fellow Rotarians immediately fol- lowing the business of the week. Highlighting the program was Brig. Chester O. Taylors’ talk on the Sal- vation Army. “The Salvation Army came to Alaska in answer to an ap- peal for help from the citizens of | Skagway who were overwhelmed by the avalanche of ill-prepared for- tune seekers during the gold rush Mining Company power-line towcr!xmg and Queen, Churchill proudly days of 1898, Brig.

Taylor ended his speech with a short definition of the ideals of the Salvation Army—“It will seck the grain of good in every human soul and forever teach and preach the Golden Rule—it will call men | and women back from the paths of | evil and guide their wandering| truth.” ! Miss Dorianne Barnes, talented | young pianist from Wrangell, also entertained with two numbers, “Lo er” and a medley of Irving Berlins waltzes, “All Alone,” “Remember” and “Always.” President Jack Fletcher, earlier in the meeting, expressed deep 1'8-‘ gret in losing one of the Rotarians most faithful members, Roy Gilles- | pie, who is retiring from business and leaving soon for Whidby Island, where he has a small place. He is leaving his business and title of Produce Salesman to his son-in-law, W. A. Miller. Two committees were appointed by President Fletcher—the Comumittee! to help the Salvation Army “put over its drive” with Dr. W. M. White- head, chairman, Charlie Carter, JUNEAU YOUTH BADLY BURNED BY POWER LINE Waverly Peferson Near Death from Accident Here Last Evening Contact with 23,000 volts of elec- |tricity last evening resulted in ser- ious injury to Waverly Peterson, 14- year-old native youth, son of Mrs. M. Osmena of Juneau. The lad’s condition is reported as “critical” by the Government Hospital office. ‘When found, the youth was lying at the foot of an Alaska Juneau Fourth and Gold streets.

Investigation disclosed the badly-burned boy where he had fallen. He was carried to the street level by a soldier and delivered over to the police, who had responded to a report of the occurrence from the Bergmann. On reaching the hos- pital, a blood transfusion was ad- ministered to the youth, but late to- day little hope was held for his re- covery. It is reported that other youths were seen in the immediate vicinity of the tower at the time of the acci- dent, but they had scattered before investigation was made and it has not been determined whether they were companions of the injured Peterson boy. - TIPPETS, HORNING HERE Joseph H.
