The following letter refers to
something which is now a mailer
of ancienl history, hut is given

desire to he fair:
Editor Valdez I)a»ly Prospector.
Fort William If. Seward, Alas
ka, Dec. 25, 1911.— Dear Sir:
Some friend has sent me a copy
of your enterprising paper of
November 10th, in which appears
an editorial headed, "A Compari
son." The article begins as fol
lows :
"During, I he session of the mil
itary court which was recently
held in Valdez, as a rebuke of one
of the counsel, the court, speak
ing through its president, said:
'You should remember that while
you.are counsel in this case you
are also an officer in the army
ami should not descend to the
ethics of a lawyer.'
"The above remark suggested
a bri»»f comparison of tin* dignity
and impartiality of a civil court
with a military tribunal, etc."
I have before me the duplicate
copy of the entire proceedings of
tlii' court, a copy is also in the
hands of the defense. As presi
dent of I he court. I made no such
remarks as slated.
Referring to certain conduct oT
one of the counsel which bad been
called to IIm* attention of the
court by the judge advocate. Hie
eonrJ stated through its president
as follows: "1! would be a reflec
tion upon the court to suppose
t)ial the matter brought up would
in any way, efTect the opinion of
the court as to the accused's guilt
or innocence, but it appears to
me that this is a matter which
tile court might look into."
After this matter had been dis
cussed in closed court, the pres
ident stated as follows: "In re
gard to the matter thai has come
up, and lo which the last witness
testified, regarding the conduct
of one of counsel, the court wish •
es Lo say that it considers such
conduct improper and cautions
counsel that in future there he a
repetition of conduct of that kind
it may cause his disbarment from
future assistance-in the case."
I have quoted above from the
record. The above were the on
ly remarks made by the president
of the court in this matter, and
you have apparently been misin
formed as lo what was said.
' Knowing your desire to he fair
and impartial in all matters will
you kindly publish this. Very
respectfully.

of Court.
