Judge Hanford Under Scrutiny Over Drinking Habits
Witnesses told a Judiciary subcommittee that United States District Judge C. H. Hanford repeatedly drank in downtown Seattle bars after leaving the Rainier Club. A detective-employee said Hanford would visit three bars and a hotel each night, sometimes circling the same places at dinner hour, and appear intoxicated on streetcars. Several others, including Oliver Erickson, testified to multiple incidents on trains and streets over the years.
