Immediately after the roll call of
the Struthers jury, when court con
vened. at 2 o’clock Saturday after
noon .District Attorney Hurley re
quested Judge Ritchie to dismiss the
jujry for a short period while Thomas
A.. Marquam presented a motion con
cerning the Flat mail robbery case.
The court room was accordingly
cleared of jurors.
Mr. Marquam entered an affidavit
to. the effect that his client, Mrs.
Nellie Beattie, i-daclared herself to be
a pauper and was unable to pay the
expense of .defense witnesses from
the Iditarod district. He stated that
the necessary, witnesses could be
brought. from Flat at one-half the
expense „ incurred in transporting
government witnesses by the use of
an airplane- Two weeks’ traveling
time would be saved if witnesses were
transported by airplane, he said.
Mr.. Hdrley offered to produce affi
davits that Mrs. Beattie’s financial
circumstances were such that she
she could bring her own witnesses.
Furthers arguing was postponed until
g o’clock Saturday evening.
At that time the prosecution sub
mitted-affidavits declaring that Mrs.
Beattie’s financial affairs were in
gpod condition. Judge Ritchie sug
gested: that Mrs. Beattie take the
stand and be questioned in regard to
the affidavits. Mr. Marquam object
ed on .the grounds, that he did not
wish hia client to offer testimony at
that time in view of thafact that she
was defendant in a criminal cas'e. He
asked permission .to enter counter
affidavits. Permission was granted
by .Judge Ritchie.
