S2.5C0 Stolen Fairbanks And
Alleged Thief Flies Out
And May Be In Canada
Fairbanks, April 9—On a char
ge of having stolen $2,500 in cur
rency, John Gordon Miller is
wanted by authorities here. He
is accused of having taken the
money, belonging to John Kelly,
accountant from a safety box and
then to have flown to Juneau. He
now is believed to be in British
Columbia or some other part of
Canadian territory.
Miller, unmarried, about 35
years old, was employed in the
office of Kelly & Byrd in the La
throp Building.
Had Access To Box
He is said to have been the
only person to have had access
to the safety box, which was kept
in the vault of the accountancy
office. From time to time, in the
course of his duties, he put into
the box and took from it import
ant papers.
Miller left Fairbanks last Sat
urday morning on a Pacific Al
aska Airways plane for Juneau.
He told persons in the account
ancy office that his visit to the
Territorial capital would be brief
and that he would be back in a
few days.
However, it was learned by
some persons in the office Satur
day that Miller had taken with
him on the plane excess baggage
which cost him $24.30 for trans
portation.
Suspicion Is Aroused i
This incident in ‘connection
with his departure aroused some
suspicion, but the $2,500 that had
been in the safety box was not
missed until Monday. Then the
discovery was made that the en
velope which contained the mon
ey was still in the box hut that
it was empty.
Complaint was made to United
j States Attorney Ralph J. Rivers
i and a complaint charging grand
larceny was issued. A warrant
on the complaint was issued with
out delay and telegraphed Mon
day afternoon to Juneau and
: Ketchikan.
“If Miller boarded an Alaska
j Steamship Company vessel at Ju
I neau for Seattle he will be taken
! off the craft at Ketchikan,'’ Unit
ed States Attorney Rivers ex
plained.
May Be In Canada
“But I doubt if he left Juneau
on an Alaska Steamship Com
pany vessel, or any other boat un j
der United States registry. I j
think he boarded the Canadian
Pacific Railroad passenger ship j
that departed from Juneau Sun-j
day for Vancouver, B. C. This'
vessel is now near Voncouver,
B. C. However, I am of the opin
ion that Miller disembarked at
Prince Rupert, B. C., where 'in
ship called Monday. Prince Ru
pert. is the Pacific terminal of
the trans-Canadian railroad,
Grand Trunk.
"If Miller got ofT the boat at
Prince Rupert, he may now be
speeding east over Canada."
Indictment Would Be Needed
"Should Miller be located in
Canada, he could not be extra
dited until an indictment was re
turned against him by a grand
jury in Fairbanks.
“If Canadian authorities should
locate him, they might hold him
until this indictment could be ob
tained. I would ask Judge Harry
E. Pratt of the United States dis
trict court to call a jury if the
fugitive were caught and detain
ed at any place in Canada.
Came Last Year
Miller came to Fairbanks last
year. lie had been employed on
the hotel erected at McKinley
Park Station on the Alaska Rail
roal, and previously had lived in
Anchorage and Ketchikan.
