KRAUSE INDICTED FOR
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
(Juneau Empire.)
Edward Krause was arraigned in
the district court this afternoon, and
indictments returned against him by
the grand jury' for* murder in the
first degree, were read.
Krause is charged with the mur
der of James O- Plunkett and Kuma
jiro Yamamoto
One indictment against Krause
charging, that on October 27th. j
1915, in some manner to the grand
jury unknown. Krause caused the
death of James O. Plunkett while
attempting to rob and secure the
property of the said Plunkett
Another indictment charges that
on January 25, 1918, near the Olym
pic mine, near Petersburg, while at
tempting to rob and secure the prop- j
erty of Yamamoto. Krause attacked
him and inflicted injuries on him
w-hich caused Yamamoto’s death.
A third indictment was returned
today also charging Krause with the
fraudulent use of the mails- This
indictment charges that Krause, in
endeavoring to secure the property
of Yamamoto and while trying to
have the alleged forged mortgage
foreclosed, assumed the name of
Hartman; that he rented a post of
fice box in that name and received
and sent mail under the name of
Hartman, all of which acts were
a part of a scheme to secure the
property of Yamamoto.
These indictments were returned
by the grand jury on the last day
of their deliberations but have been
withheld by Judge Jennings, who
stated he feared the effect the an
nouncement -would have on the
minds of the jury which was then
engaged on the trial of Krause on
the charge of kidnaping.
