IMP ROBBERY
CASE IS ENDED;
, GOES TO JURY
CIo. ,ng Arguments Made To
day — Defense Contends
Fish Were Not Stolen.
The trial of Olaf Olsen, Andrew
Halborsen, Haakon Thompson and
John Jorgensen. Peterslmrg seine
fishermen, charged with stealing fish
from a Sunny Point trap in Heyimmi
Canal, came lo an end in tin' Distrlci
Court this afternoon. It was in pro
gress for three days.
Both Henry Roden and <; c Winn,
counsel for the defense, argued that
the defendants had not been proved
guilty of a clime; that ill ■ • evidence
was clear they had purchased in
good faith the alleged stolen fish,
anil had returned the property lo its
owner ns soon as they were informed
the sale of the watchman was illegal.
Say Wat Impossible
Tlie Government's contention, put
forward by U. S. Attorney A. G
Shoup. whs that it was not possible
for the transaction to have been bona
llije. He argued that rite fishermen
must have known, and in fact did
know. Hie trap watchman had no au
thority to sell fish, and that the price
claimed hv the fishermen themselves
to have been paid to the watchman
was so much below the existing mar
ket, in itself it was sufficient to hav
convinced Ihent it was a fraudulent
transaction if they had known it
in no other manner.
The closing arbtiinent van con
cluded by Mr. Shnup shortly after 2
p. nt. Judge Reed then gave his in
structions to the jury which retired
about 3 o'clock.
Witnesses Tell Same Story
The testimony of Gnpt. Olsen and
Jorgensen, given yesterday, was vir
tually Identical with that given by
the other two defendants. Thompson
and Halborsen. Both men claimed
tbr flsli were purchased front Watch
.... .. winter who opened the negotla
lIon" for the transaction and fixed
i'»- »rtce of $20 for 1,000 salmon.
Both declared ' positively Winter had
| assured the fishermen lie had author
i ity to make the sale and that when
| they were overhauled by the Yacht
Winifred II and informed to the mil
itary Cipl. Olson at once agreed to
make restitution.
Call Character Witnesses
•ftiule liastness anil Jack Olsen, o’
Petersburg, ami Oliver Orange, of
this city, were called as character
witnesses for the defendants this
morning. The first two said all of
tin- men Imre good repulatious in
Petersburg. Mr. Orange was not per
mitted to testify as he said lie did
moi know their reputation in I heir
home town.
Mr. liastness caused some little
slir when, on cross examination, he
declared lh.,1 conditions were such
in some fishing districts that it was
not possible for seine fishermen to
make a living unless ihcv diil pro
cure fish from traps.
