THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA FOLTA RETURNS 10 BENCH; NO BIG CASES | BUT MAYBE BEARS District Judge George W. Folta as back on the bench here today after returning from a several weeks stay in Anchorage, where he sub- stituted for District Judge Anthony Dimond, while the latter was in Washington. Judge Folta was forced to inter- rupt a session of court being held in Ketchikan when called to the Hub City. He said this morning thas the Ketchikan court would not be resumed until the fall term, be- ginning in September. He will go there in July, however, to hear pleadings for the fall term, but will hear no actual cases. This morning’s court session was short, during which he signed an order creating a Public Utility Dis. trict in Auk Bay, voted for la: week by residents there. The judge also refused to dismiss a charge against Elliott P. John- son of Sitka, filed on December 2, 1948, for assault with intent to rape. District Attorney Patrick J. Gilmore, Jr., asked for dismissal because the plaintiff was seriously ill and had been unable to attend any session of the grand jury. “The court can not allow the per- petrator of a crime,” the judge said, “to have an advantage because of a victim’s illness. Those authorities bringing the charge should be con- | sulted.” Gilmore said he would gather in- ment and food took over after the business session and a lunch was served while the tables were set up for a round of Canasta. Char- lotte Barragar, playing for the first time, carried off the compact, giv- ltn as a first prize for the evening’s entertainment. U. 5., CANADA PLAN COOPERATION; FOUR PROJECTS PROPOSED !
