WHICH TOOK PLACE AT CHA TAN IK A—MURDERER CAP
TURED FOUR MILES FROM SCENE OF THE CRIME.
0/r'
Both mdn were underground
miners and have been employed
by Keys and Rettig, operating
near Chatanika. Albani and Bo
rossco had trouble at the bunk
house where they lived the night
before the murder. They got in
to a heated argument and came
to blows, Albani getting worsted
in the fight which followed. Al
bani, who was preparing to leave
for i lie stales on the next boat,
wanted In return to the blink
house lo pack up his belongings,
but stated he was afraid Borossco
would kill him. He asked several
workmen to go with him and they
complied. Albani had made up
his pack and was just leaving the
bunkhouse when he met Boross
co. While packing his clothes
he had secretly armed himself
with a dagger and attacked his
recent antagonist without say
ing a word. The dagger pierced
Boro'ssco's heart and lie died in
stantly.
It is believed that Albani in
tended In murder his antagonist
and that il was for (hat purpose
'more than to get his clothing that
he returned to the bunkhouse. He
had refused to cat any breakfast
that morning and stated he would
not work that day. He had not
suffered any injury in the fight
with Rorossco but was insane
with rage. The men who had ac
fconfpanied Albani to the bunk
house were afraid to lake him
into custody as he still kept pos
session of the dagger after the
crime. United States Marshal
Erwin was immediately notified
by telephone and ordered the
‘murderer's arrest dead or alive.
.The people of Ehatanika are much
incensed, believing as the\ do,
that | In* crime was cold-blooded.
