First Witness Began Testimony in Alaska Land Claim Hearing
The first witness Glavis opened during the early fore noon session, with two attorneys present for him and other officials including Louis U Braubeig of Boston and Joseph Colton of New York. Brandeis noted Glavis would not be bound by a fixed line of testimony as the inquiry sought wide open. Glavis recounted his early work from 1902 with Alaska coal claims, denying Ballinger’s courtroom involvement at that time while noting an escrow agreement drawn for Wilson case claimants that never signed. He asserted Ballinger’s participation amounted to a conspiracy against the government, and detailed the Cunningham claims before interjections by Representatives Venky and Damed.
