Edward Krause
'
Brought to Trial
Defendant Admits Only That He Im
personated an Officer.
JUNEAU, April 11. — Edward
Krause was brought to trial yesterday
on the first of seven indictments
charging him with the disappearance
of William Christie, amalgamator in
the Treadwell mine, who disappeared
most mysteriously some time ago.
Krause is willing to accept the charge
of impersonating an officer, it is said.
He is defended by Kraucunas who
was once socialist candidate for con
gress from Alaska, and by a Seattle
attorney named O’Brien. Every effort
to find the body of Christie or those
of the other alleged victims of Krause
has failed so far and never was such
dffiiculty found in trying to bring
homo to the prisoner tht crime of
which virtually everyone believes
him guilty. The work of searching
for the bodies is still proceeding but
almost everything possible has been
done and without result.

CAPT. BABCOCK WAITED 3
YEARS TO ENTER MEXICO
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
EL PASO, Tex., April l.—A lean
figure in khaki stalked into the lobby
of the Sheldon hotel tonight and
sank into a seat. He wore the double
bars of a captain. He had the look of
a boy who has been denied something
I he has put his soul into longing for.
The captain's air attracted the at
1 tention of a newspaperman. The
latter bore down on the officer and
greeted him with:
“You didn’t go in, captain?” The
officer’s features twisted as though
I from actual physical pain.
“I—I’m not going,” he said slowly.
He tried to smile, but it was a sorry
attempt. “I’m on the sick list,” he
hurried on, releasing his pent-up pro
test against the break of luck in a
torrent of words. “I’ve been in the
hospital 55 days. ‘Just got out.’ Clot
to go to Hot Springs. Abdominal
.trouble.
“Been waiting for this chance three
years. Just as the opportunity ar
rives, I’m invalided. Got to play baby
while the rest of the follows are hav
ing the fun. It’s—it’s hell! That’s
what it is. I—” He broke off abruptly,
startled at his own unwonted volubi
lity.
“Guess I’ve said enough,” he growl
ed. The oflicer was Captain Babcoefc
of the Thirteenth infantry.
