Wickersham evidence and Alaska delegate clash in court hearing
In Washington a House Judiciary Committee session featured sharp exchanges between the attorney general and Alaska's delegate. The panel said it cannot act beyond reporting the evidence on alleged coal land frauds and did not back Alaska charges of shielding syndicate criminals. The Alaska envoy had proposed to serve Guggenheim interests for 15000 dollars annually, with Seattle offices, a claim later dismissed. John Behm of Portage Wisconsin, uncle of Or tie McManigal, was arrested on contempt charges and released on bond after refusing to answer jury questions about the dynamiting conspiracy.
