Ketchikan Embezzler
Says Personal Troubles
Caused Him To Jump Bail
KETCHIKAN, UP!—Ralph Mar
shall, Ketchikan public account
ant who was returned here from
Portland, Ore., pleaded guilty to
day to 17 counts of embezzlement
from his employers and was given
a sentence of six years on each
count.
Federal Judge George Folta or
dered that the terms run concur
rently. Under good behavior, Mar
shall, who is about 40, will be
eligible for parole in about four
years.
Marshall, who disappeared from
Ketchikan early this year, was I
found working as a bellhop in
Portland. He waived both counsel
and grand jury action on his re
turn here, permitting him to be
brought to trial without indict
ment.
He told Judge Folta that his
personal troubles had become un
bearable and that was the reason
he left Ketchikan after waterfront
employers charged him with em
bezzling around $16,000.

Northwest Passage Seen
As Key to Vast Mineral
Empire in North Canada
VICTORIA, B.C., (A”)—1The North
west Passage, which for centuries
has stirred the imaginations of
mariners and landlubbers alike,
may one day be the key to open
a vast mineral empire in Canada’s
northland.
Capt. Owen Robertson, skipper
qf the Canadian ship Labrador,
latest ship to navigate the pass
age, says the route his vessel
chartered would be essential to
bring out the north’s great iron,
copper, oil and coal resources. He
explains:
“I know those resources exist
because I have seen them with
my own eyes . . . some day when
we get atomic power in the north
we will use these resources to be
come one of the great creditor
nations of the world.”
The most formidable obstacle
encountered by the Labrador was
soft ice: ramming through “slush
ice” is like “hitting a feather
pillow.” The ship “just sang in
and got nowhere.” Hard ice was
comparatively simple. The Lab
rador just charged, backed out,
and made another run.

Who Killed the Lion?
“I Did” Says Count—
It’s a “Matter of Honor”
NAIROBI, Kenya, UP)—Count
Alessando di Bugnano, Italian
consul here, lodged a diplomatic
protest with the Kenya govern
ment Tuesday that he alone killed
a runaway lioness which terror
ized a European suburb of the
city Monday.
“My shots killed the beast,” jj
said the count. “The Greek consul
saw me do it . . . this is a matter
of honor.”
But Rodney Elliott, a game
ranger who stalked the big beast
through the streets, differed with
the count.
“I shot it,” Elliott said. “Four
other rangers saw me do it.”
The lioness was shot in a gar
den about 300 yards from the
Italian consulate. Di Bugnano had
spent the day with rangers track
ing the animal, which came from
the Nairobi game park. The count
claimed the rangers only wounded
the animal while his shots killed
it.
The count said he used special
lead bullets imported from Italy
and a post mortem now underway
would show his bullets were the
lethal ones.
