WHA1 WAS SAID IN
DEfENSE OE KRAUSE
"
The speech of the attorney for the
defense in the case against Kit ward |
Krause shows all that can be shown
ou the other side of the Juneau mur
ders. Krau>e has been found guilty
of muriler since this speech was nuule
but it is interesting to learn the line j
of his defense. The following is the
speech of Attorney Krauczunas a>
taken from the Juneau Oispatch of
October 4;
“Attorney Krauczunas reviewed the
evidence of each witness, inviting at*i
tention of the jury to the many wit
nesses who testified as to the good
character of James l'lunkett. He
paid high compliment to all such
character witnesses but claimed that
this evidence was not necessary, as
the good character of Plunkett was
conceded by defense. This lint* of evi
dence he claimed was introduced by
the prosecution for the purpose of in
fluencing the jury for conviction of
the defendant by the appearance of
prominent citizens to testify in prose
cution's behalf. The jury’s attention
was cal let! to the letter alleged to
have been written by Krause from
Wrangell, about the loss of the gas
boat Lou. Prosecution claimed that
this letter was written at Juneau by
Krause on October 24th before he left
with Plunkett, endeavoring to show by
it premediation; attention to the
testimony of said witness w hich show
ed that he saw Krause writing a letter
on his typewriter October 2*.>. that on
the morning said letter was received
by Mr. Garfield, who testified that
said letter showed Wrangell postmark
on the envelope; Krauczunas stated
that the evidence showed that Krause
arrived in Juneau from Petersburg
October 27th, and it was impossible
for him to mail said letter at Wran
gell; furthermore, that is shown by
the evidence that Krause’s typewriter
remained at Juneau from Oct. 24. the
day of alleged departure of Krause
with Plunkett and until the former’s
return about noon of Oct. 27th, and
that it was impossible for that letter
to have been written by defendant
and mailed at Wrangell about three
a. m. Oct. 25th, as claimed by prose
cution. Defendant’s attorney further
claimed that said letter could not have
been written by defendant at Juneau
Oct. 24. as that letter written with the
object of returning government li
cense of Lou to the customs house
could not have been in the possession
of Krause before his alleged depart
ure with Plunkett.
lH*fendant’s attorney conceded that
there were some strange elements in
the case which pointed to the connec
tion ot* the defendant with the depart
ure of Plunkett, but that there were
also many stranger elements about
Plunkett’s past life. He claimed that
testimony showed Plunkett’s residence
at Juneau of about twenty years, but
that am mg all tin* witnesses who tes
tified claiming intimate acquaintance
with him no one knew where he came
from and that witnesses testified that
no one at Juneau knew anything about
his life before coming here and that
his past life before arriving here was

a blank. While Kraezunas made no
effort to assert that Plunkett was not
dead, he argued the possibilities of
him being well and alive, and that if
he is dead, he could have died a nat
ural death, or accidental death with
out any one being responsible for
same, and that some of his effects
could have been appropriated after
his death, natural or accidental, with
out the defendant being guilty of
murder. A number of accidents and
peculiar disappearances were relate.?
to the jury, among those being that
of Sandy Clark of Ketchikan, together
with a government fish inspector and
their cook, their bodies not being
found to this day; and another ac
cidental drowning of Major Martin
recently at Yakutat on account of
which his companion who saved him
self from drowning was accused of
murder but was later exonerated up
on the finding of the body of Martin
| which showed accidental drowning.”

III \ AW AY INDIAN
YltEKA, Cal., Oct. 1.—A wedding
w ith nil the thrills of the movies took
place here when Sally Snelling, Indian
woman aged 5(>, married Ernesto
Mazzoni, Italian woodehopper, 40.
Sally and Mazzoni, after much dif
I ticulty, were finally able to make
I known their wants to the county
| clerk. Hut when the license was
| about to be issued, Mazzoni took sud
den fright and started dashing down
the boulevards. Not to be outdone,
Sally did a bit of dashing herself. She
chased the frightened Italian through
the business section, finally capturing
him behind a counter in a drygoods
i store.
Catching him by the ear, she re
turned with him to the county clerk
where the license was issued, and the
ceremony performed. The couple are
honeymooning in an Indian hut.—Ex.

DORA KEEN WRITES OF
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Dora Keen, the famous mountain
climber, who recently married George
William Handy, of McCarthy, who ac
companied her in her great climb of
.Mount Blackburn, has an article in
the October Scribner, describing an
ascent of the ditlleult Giant’s Tooth |
in the Alps. It is a vivid narrative of
adventure, and you can’t help admir
ing the pluck and splendid courage
that inspired such an efTort. There
are some line photographic illustra
tions. She says:
“Hut there was a zest in the com
bat, a challenge to will-power and tac
■ tics, as well as to nodurance and
muscle, in that seemingly inacessable
j summit. There was the thrill of ad*
i venture in every step, and with every
foot won a sense of accomplishment,
a new consciousness of power, which
brought confidence and strength for4
the fray. In the space of a few hours,
more than in years before, 1 seemed
to be acquiring all the qualities need
ed for the hard battles and decisom.*
of life. The rocks were pitiless. Help
was far. There must be no mistakes,
whether for action or judgment, no
slips, no moment when each was not
doing his best, his part for the suc
cess of all.”
