'RETRIAL OF JONES, " AX SLAYING CASE, STARTS, FAIRBANKSi ) FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. -\M) ‘7Leon Jones, who was the object |two years ago of one of Alaska’s greatest manhunts, is on trial a second time for murder. He was convicted in 1947 of the| |ax murders of Donald W. Harris, 33, and Carl Ahrnstrom, 68, a prospector. | By agreement of opposing coun- | sel, testimony of three witnesses |at the original trial will ke read into the record of the re-trial. They are Frank Felix, who died |last year; Margaret Jacobs Kirs- | tatter, now a patient in a Seward | sanitorium, and a laboratory ex- pert from Washington, D.C. All other witnesses are under subpoena again. The jury has been | selected. | The 1947 killings occurred at little Qeerstle. Jones was captured in the wilds 10 days later after an extensive manhunt in which even some of the military figured. | After a jury trial, he was sen= |tenced in December, 1947, by Dis- trict Judge Harry E.

The correct statement as I made it was; “Un- less Congress does something to see that Alaska benefits more {rom her great natural resources there are some who would turn to so- cialism or even worse, communism.” This statement was made good-' naturedly and with a laugh. I re- alized it was a “hot statement” and would bring on a discussion on this, subject. Immediately following I’ assured the committee that I.defi- nitely am not remotely consider- ing Communism under any condi-; tions and that there is to my‘ knowledge no active Communism in | this - area. The committee assured me. they were not under the im-l pression that I was or intended:tol become a Communist. Therefore, the quote gn the radio definitely was against any of my Leliefs or intentions and I want you to do all you possivly can;io clear my name! The meaning was also twisted around in another statement. You made it appear nm 1 regarded my fellow fishermen as having no ré- spect for the law and regulations. This is absolutely not the case and not the statement I made. 1 quote exactly what I said, “The main reason there is some lack ot cooperation and respect for sal- mon conservation efforts in Alaska ! is because the fishermen feel they do not have equal interest and fishing priyileges as long as the salmon traps are allowed to catch, 55 to 60 percent of the total sal- mon caught.” Unless this statement | is put forth in its right mem\,ng| you'll have me very unpopular wita every fisherman in Alagka that; I FRIDAY NIGHT at 10:00 Armistice Day Dance Intermission Floor Show MIGUEL ZAMORA — MAGICIAN Dances on Glass and Sleight of Hand “BUD” SCHULTZ—PIANIST * Specialty Numbers Sponsored by THE AMERICAN LEGION THEV.F.W. finding that the Alaska court erred in instructing the jury that the deliberation to make the crime first degree murder “may be as in- ! stantaneous as successive thought.” The higher court held that the in- struction was of such serious na- ture as to require a new trial.

That’s what packers and fisher- men from Kodiak and the Alaska Peninsula told a Fish and Wild- life Service hearing yesterday. The witnesses from Kodiak, Af- ognak. and Chignik said the bears are getting enough salmon to be a conservation problem. Some of the fishermen suggested a bounty on the bruins to cut down their inroads on the salmon runs. | Another spokesman appearing at the hearing in the Chamber of Commerce asked thai beaver dams be removed from streams on Kod- iak to allow salmon to reach their spawning grounds. Witnesses generally opposed Fish | and Wildlife Service proposals to allow no commercial fishing in the Kodiak area prior to August 1. They requested a season on sur- plus red salmon from June 12 to July 10. Packers suggested an' August 11 closing along the Alaska Peninsula The Fish and Wildlife Service pro- poses closing the season July 31 to protect depleted pink salmon runs. SGT.
