ing but refused to speak until he had
seen a lawyer.
A Gateway man visited the jail
yesterday. Sunday, and by the court
esy of Marshal Kvan was able to
»
meet Stoker and speak to him. Par* I
titular care was taken not to bother
the prisoner nor to excite him in any
way and when it was found that the
prisoner did not desire to speak no
further attempt to interview him
was made. When the reporter enter
ed the cell Stoker was sitting at the
sto\e facing the door. When he was
introduced by name to the reporter.
Stoker rose from the chair and shook
hands. It was terribly noticeable that
the hand of the prisoner was damp
and clammy. II is demeanor was
quiet and suggestive of the demean
or of a man who was ill or in a weak
condition while recovering from an
illness.
The re|K»rter said:
“Mr. Stoker : 1 don’t want to both
or you or to ask anything you do not
wish to answer, but do you feel like
telling me the story of the occur
rence:? of the past few days
fences of the past few days?”
He had been told the occupation of
the man questioning him and as the
reporter spoke the prisoner looked at
him just for a moment and then rest
ing his head on his hand he gazed at
the stove as if debating with himself
whether or not to speak. A local at
torney. Mr. Leon Booker, accompani
ed the reporter and after Stoker had
remained silent for some time some
person present told Stoker that Mr.
Booker was a lawyer and suggested
that he might speak to him if he
w ished.
“I’m a lawyer myself,” was the an
| swer of the prisoner and in a manner
j not well connected he expressed the
wish to speak to Attorney Booker lat
er in private. Before leaving, the
Gateway man again suggested thut
if the prisoner had anything to say
he might speak but Stoker waved his
hand towards Mr. Booker and said
something in a low voice which clear

ly meant that Mr. Booker should be
referred to as his attorney.
Too much cannot be said about
Stoker, of course, until the case
comes up in court but one is safe Tn
Saying that the appearance of the
man yesterday might be described as
that of one who was “dopey.” He
evidently did not have possession of
all his faculties but whether this con
dition came before the shooting or as
a result of the terrible event cannot
be stated.
One of the first things asked by
Stoker in the jail this morning was
whether they hail found his mitts.
Some of the posse who brought him
to town also state that he seemed to
be obsessed by the idea that union
labor men were out against him. T?
is stated by one man that when Stok
er was asked why he shot Hendricks
lie said he shot him because he was a
union man. It is gathered from his
remarks that in Fairbanks or some
where else Stoker once acted as a
strike breaker but this is not clear.
It is evident, however, that the
thought of supposed hostility to him
had a bad effect on his mind as well
as the belief that his mitts had been
stolen. He will be brought up here
for a preliminary hearing and will
probably be held over to the district
court. His attorney is Leon Booker.

now advancing along the Ardjis river valley and gradu

commentators express the fear that Mackensen will cut;
