THINKS MURRAY IS ALIVE
Man Who Knows Missing Pros
pector has new t heory
That .John .Murray, or Moreira. the
missing partner of Jim t-isK, wnose
skeleton was fouml recently at Halibut
Inn. did not eoiii.nn suicule mu escaped
alter killing P'istc. is Uie tneary ml
S. Wilcox, an Inlet miner wno Km w
hot h.
\\ ilcox believes that .hui ray aitl not
become insane but Unit t**e two men
quarreled, a> lonesome men olu n do j
through sheer irritation requiting from
then* isolated life, and mat Murray j
killed Fisk. The interior of tneirj
cabin bore evidences ot a bloody .strug
gle. Fisk*> skeieion iiad tne mat k oi
a rille ball »n the back, showing that j
be must have hi en du t a> hi* was run
ning awav. He hud fallen about j
twenty step* from the cabin. Murray
was a Portuguese, and with the hoi •
blood of hi> race would doubtless shoot
a man in the back after a light.
Wilcox uoes not believe that Murray
plotted to kill Fisk for his money, be
cause both were well supplied and had
worked together for two or three sea
sons, but he thinks that after t he fatal
quarrel Murray took Fi>k*s money to
aid him in i he effort to e>cape. It was
then, according to tins theory, that
Murray wrote the frenzied letters to
account for the crime. In hi* state of
mind it required no effort beyond de
vising a motive, to write letters which
' seemed to be the work of an insane
man.
Murray was well known all around
the Inlet and his only chance for escape
. * • ^
was to take an out-going steamer un
der cover of darkness. \\ ilcox thinks
be probably skulked around Seldovia
until the Dora came along, boarded
her at night and went to Dutch Har
bor. From that point be could have
gone north, soutn or west.
