MOTIVE FOR TRIFLE
MURDER IS ROBBERY
(From Anchorage Daily Times)
Pockets of the clothing - n Mrs.
F.W. Jenkins, whose body was
found September 18th. 150 feet
from her cabin in Ruby Gulch,
were turned inside out and were
taken as proof that robbery was
the motive of four murders in
the Cache Creek country Septem
; ber 10.
News of the discovery was
brought to Anchorage by Pilot
Hakon Christensen who arrived
with the body of Mrs. Jenkins.
Dr. A. S. Walkowski conducted
an autopsy to ascertain the na
ture of the wounds that caused
her death.
Searchers found the body of
i\Irs Jekins late the afterneon of
the 13th hidden in the growth of
grass overhanging a gravel bank
It was only 150 feet from the Jen
kins' cabin which is reported to
have contained placer g id tak
en by Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins from
their claims over a period of
years.
Pilot Christensen said a close
examination of the body will be
necessary to ascertain the exact
nature of the wounds The head
was either beaten or shot he
said. He did not know whether
1
there were knife wounds.
Belief was expressed that the
murderer or murderers searched
the clothing of Mrs. Jenkins for
the keys to her cabin, turning
the pockets inside out as they
searched.
Weapons involved in the mur
ders were in Anchorage for a
. tudy of fingerprints.
Speculation as to the motive of
the murders has been rife ever
since the discovery of the crime
and it was said that the condition
of the pockets on the clothing of
Mrs. Jenkins is the first evidence
to substantiate the contention
that Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins were
murdered for their gold. Joy Brit
tel. .' ho was with Mr. Jenkins
was also murdered and the life
of Dick Francis was taken in an
at empt to make the crime ap
pear as a triple murder and sui
cide, according to one theory

REPUBLICAN OMEN ?—Political fortunes of the G.O.P.
party haven’t anything to do with the miniature elephant collec
tion of Mrs. William E. Borah, wife of Idaho’s veteran Republican

caught this 481-pound broadbill swordfish at Santa Catalina, taking an hour, 23 minutes, to bring
