THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22. 1921. Lawyer Tells of hxperiences m Virgin Islands . ,. . - Government Attorney, in Let ter to Omahan, Relates Dif ficulties of Establishing Court System. Interesting lights upon life in the Virgin Islands are given by George A. KJeyser-in a letter to Ralph G. Coad of Omaha. Mr. Kcyser is gov ernment attorney in the municipality cj M. croix.

He was wounded several times. -' As government attorney, Mr. Kcy ser is laying the foundation of Amer ican law in the primitive country, where he is stationed. Here are excerpts from his letter. "I was appointed to prosecute two men for inurder in St.- Thomas and tried them under the Danish law, ii e., in St. Thomas, and got one of them sentenced to tleath. Under the law, such a case must be appealed, so now we have to take the case to the Third circuit at Philadelphia. There, has ..been no case up there yet .from here and I am anxious to steow they will handle it when it Conies before them. , "i "Then at St. Croix we are endeav oring to establish the American courts to replace the old system. Now believe me. there is certainly a lot of . detail work in connection with that breaking in clerk, sheriff, bail (jjtfj court reporter and all that. We ..are all new people to the work and the first man we had as judge was such a complete failure that all the work was on me, and I had to ad vise the clerk what to put in the journal, dockets, etc., and what hooks to get and how to keep them, so that I feel as though I am learn ing something. Just stop andjhink how.- you would go about starting an office like-Bob Smith's and what you know of the detail work of the place. . One does not realize when atJ those things are going along all rryrht, what work there is in start ing them elsewhere. The islands are certainly beauti fafc St. Thomas, where the capital JSJsjtuated has only one. town and irs "-chief interest is its wonderful lia&or. The island is too hilly for rfjuch cultivation, but there are one mMwo Bood-sized estates on it. St. i John is just an island with only 3,000 population with about 25 whites. St.' Thomas has about 10,00a with about 500 whites. - Sw Croix -is 4he largest of the f-group .and has no real harbor there is an open road bed' where ships tome in.'
