in the Bering Sea and Cook Inlet

LOTT IS BOUND
OVER ;BIG CACHE
OF BOOZE FOUND
Held Without Bail for Shoot
ing Prentice—Booze May
Be Behind Killing.
Hilly Lott, ncifro barber, was to
day bound over to the Federal grand
jury on a charge of murder for
shooting William Prentice in a local
restaurant on the evening of July
4th. Following a preliminary exam
ination before Judge V. A. Paine In
the IT. S. Commissioner's Court, Lott
was committed to the Federal Jail
to be held without bail pending ac
tion by the next grand jury.
Almost at the same time Lott was
being bound over. Federal officers
under the direction of U. S. Marshal
George D. Beaumont were breaking
into a concealed room at the rear
of Lott’s barber shop on lower Front
Street in which they found 240
quarts of assorted liquors and 2 8
pint bottles of Canadian beer. This,
it was intimated, might lead to un
covering a motive for the shooting
of Prentice which had hitherto been
suspected but denied to exist. Offi
cials in the C. S. Attorney’s office,
however, declined to discuss thla
'IIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlll
phase of the matter. Vy.
The room in which the booze
cache was found is located back of
a bedroom at the rear of Lott's shop.
It was entered by means of a pariel
of wallboard which was found tojbe
removable. An outside door to tttp
cache Rives onto the alleyway anfl
was locked from the inside. T,wp
other secret caches were also found
about the shop, both being covered
by wallboard panels. Both of these
were empty.
The store ot liquor seized con
sisted of 220 quarts of Scotch whis
key. 12 quarts of French vermoiUli,
four of Gordon gin, three of cognac
brandy, one of rum. It was removed
to the storehouse at the courthoush
building. y
At the preliminary hearing. Dr.
M. A. Borland and Roy Noland were
called as witnesses by the Govern
ment. The former, who attended
Prentice after he was shot, testified
that his death resulted 'ro.-n wouttyia
inflicted by a revolver. Mr. Noland
said he was in the cafe at the time
the shooting occurred and saw Lfjrtt
shoot Prentice after the latter had
dropped to the floor. £
Lott, who was represented by fl.
L. Faulkner, waived making any
statement. ?
The members of the party of In
dians from Kake, who arrived h$re
several days ago. to greet President
and Mrs. Harding, have left on the
