EDWARD KRAUSE A
PRUSSIAN
MRS. CHRISTIE'S LIFE CP TO j
THE PRESENT TIME
(From the Juneau Empire)
“'Tho name of Mrs. William Chris-:
tie has been used frequently in con-;
nection with the disappearance of!
her husband, and in discussing the j
relation of Edward Krause to the'
abduction of Christie and his appar- ]
entlv enforced absence. However,]
j little has been said that would en-'
' able the public to form an opinion'
as to the appearance and character|
of -Mrs. Christie. la all the in zesti- j
nations the Empire has made, not ]
a word of detrn t on has been sr.ok-j
en of her. In appearance, she is1
about five feet si:- inches in height,
has a slender form, grey eyes, very
dark brown, almost black hair, is
rather good looking and appears to;
be very intelligent. She is a native
- of Alsace-Lorraine, a former French
province, lost to Germany as a re
-u'-t of th,? Franco-Prussian war of
1S70. She was reared in the city of
Mulh.av.sen, having been bom there
thirty-two years ago. At the age
of sixteen she'went to Havre, France
» '.ere she immediately embarked for
this country, landing in New York
and going from there to Massachus
etts. In this state she lived for ■
.-■ •re time in the towns of New
ton Center and Milton, where she
j canted her living as a seamstress
and dressmaker. From there she \
v ent to New ark, N. J., where she j
lived eleven years. There she met j
John Gesecus. her first husband, j
who was also an Alsatian. After
living in Newark about a year, she j
•was married, and continued to live;
there until her removal, with her,
husband and family, to Petersburg,
Alaska, a little more than five years
ago.
Krause a Prussian
•‘Mrs. O. Widemann of Douglass, j
a sister of Mrs. Christie, said yes
terday to an Empire interviewer i
that Krause told her he was a native !
of East Prussia, having been reared,
near Koenigs berg, near the inter- ‘
national boundary line between I
Prussia and Poland. Krause told
the officers who arrested him at
Seattle that he w as half German j
and half Swede, but this statement
was made, it was reported, while
lie was representing himself as Ole
'toe, whom the Seattle authorities;
claim Krause put out of the way and ,
then impersonated to suit the ad- j
vantage.
Plunket Mystery Deepens
“The mystery of ‘Jim’ Plunkett i
disappearance still is unsolved. The'
friends of Plunkett are certain that |
he has been killed, and they declare j
that the evidence indicates Krause I
made away with Plunket.
“The finding of Plunkett’s sig- j
nature among Krause’s effects, by •;
the Seattle authorities, only j
strengthens the belief of Plunkett’s
friends that Krause murdered him. 1
“The only clue to Plunkett’s ab
sence is the typewritten letter to |
the customs house, at the end of j
which Plunkett's name had been
traced, advising the customs house J
that the ‘Lue’, Plunkett's boat had j
burned in Hobart Bay, and that J
Plunkett had ‘been taken to Wrang- j
ell by a fishing boat, and would j
leave Wrangell for Seattle.' The •
Fmr ’ learned that Plunkett J
not been seen in Wrangell, and tha‘
no man of that name had bought •- j
steamer ticket there just prior to, j
on, or just after October 27. Fur- i
thermore, Plankett’s friends say, the
letter was shown to have H-~*•
on *he same typewriter that j
wrote the letter to Mr. Christie of ;
Douglas.
No Trace of Boat
“Hobart Bay, in which the Lue
a^esre to have burned, is the next
bay below Windham Bay and is a
bout 12 miles this side of Five
Fingers Light It was just off
Hobart Bay that the Krause boat
was last seen. Deputy Marsha!
Walter Sharpe, who recently re- !
turned from that section states tha‘
he was in Hobart Bay and eo
along the shore foot by foot an<J
that there was no sign whatever
of a burned of wrecked boat any
: where in that vicinity.
—
diaries D. Garfield, special de
uty collector of customs, who know
the bay well, stated today that the
is at the head of the bay & veri
narrow passage leading into a lagoon
which can be entered only r
high tide and which at low tide
not visible from the bay on accoun:
of the trees growing on the reef
which guards the lagoon. It would
have been easily possible for a small
boat to go through Dry Straits and
across the Stiekine river flats direci
to Wrangell by a short cut instead
of through the usual Wrangell Nar
rows Passage. On the other hand
if Plunket had only a skiff to save
himself with the natural thing to
do would have been to go to Peters
burg, which is a great deal nearer.
“Another feature of the matter
which arouses suspicion Is the re
port made to the customs office of
the burning of the boat. No wreck
report was filed by Capt. Plunkett.
The license of the Lue was for
warded with this letter, but instead
of sending them both to the Wran
gell office, where Plunkett’s alleged
letter stated he was at the time
writing, both were sent to Juneau.
Mr. Garfield is of the opinion that
a man of Capt. "Plunkett’s experience
with boats and customs office re
quirements would have filled out
the formal wreck report blank and
sent that to the office instead of
a. badly typewritten letter.
