William Dempsey, alias W. Cum
mings, alias Jack Nichols, who shot
Deputy United States Marsha! Isaac1
Evans last Monday morning, from
which wound the latter died yesterday
morning, walked out from the brush
near the upper reservoir shortly aft
er 12 o'clock this noon and surrender
ed, with hands in the air, to Aleck
Little and Fred Martin. Dempsey'*
one gun was taken from him and he
was marched down to a cabin near the
sawmill where he was turned over to
Marshall Brenneman and Deputy
Mosaman who had1 gone out in an auto.
Dempsey was brought-into the city,
taken to the federal jail and there
questioned by the officers.
Dempsey is sorry for his deed, said
he had never killed a man before and
stated that Evans fired the first shot.
Shortly before 1 o'clock this after
noon Deputy Moxsman was called to
the telephone in Commissioner Whit
tlesey's office and told by Andy Baa
mussen, at the Saw mill, that Demp
sey bad been captured.
The word spread quickly and every
available auto with armed men and
otherwise wfere on the way to the saw
mill in quick time. ».*
At the cabin, where Dempsey was
held, Marshal Brenneman placed the
handcuffs on the murderer, hurried
him into an auto and took him to the
Federal jail.
Dempsey has been wandering
around in the woods around Porcu
pine City since the hold-up of Brown
ell. Men have been near him often. H«*
did not know that he had killed Evans
until told so by Little and Martin.
Last night, shortly after darkness fell,
Dempsey made his way to the cabin
where he slept last Saturday night,
going there to secure a coat which had
been left there. The coat was gone.
Dempsey stated that on the road wen*
aimed men and he kept to the woods
and worked around to where he was
taken today.
Dempsey had planned to get the
coat out of the cabin and then make
his way into town and get somethin*
to eat, according to' his story told t<»
the authorities this afternoon.
In telling of the incidents leading
up to the shooting, Dempsey state !
Evans told him in the marshal’s office
that he must be taken into custody.
"On our way out from the office
and down the alleyway," said Demp
sey, "I drew my gun and told Evan*
not to shoot. Evans backed around the
corner of the building and then fired
at me."
Dempsey says he returned the fire
backing down the street He did not
know that he had shot Evans fatally
nor did he knw that one bullet had
gone through EvanV hat.
"I didn't mean to kill him, " said
Dempsey, "I just wanted to get away.”
Deputy Mossmaa asked Dempsey if
he had committed no crime why he
wanted to shoot a man.
• •" I have jwt been used to a wild
life and only.wanted to get away/*
4 „ „ ,
Dempsey admitted using seveial
names, primarily to escape* the draf*.
Dempsey said he waa bom in the
Children's Aid Society in New York
city. His father’s name was William
Stewart. Dempsey admitted using
many names but always kept to the
name William.
Deputy Mossman was suspicious of
the name “Stewart” and Dempsey said
he could write to “Pop” Wendell
“who has charge of us boy* for ths
Children's Aid Society.”
Dempsey stated he was sent from
the Children's - Aui Society up to
brace's farm, at White Plain*, N. Y.
when he was about 12 or W years of
age.
Dempsey also admitted being in tho
Tongue Kiver country in Montana.
Dempsey admitted that he just
“liked to have a gun, liked to have one
handy to shoot.” He admitted In the
earlier questioning by Marshal breu
neniun and Deputy Mossman that he
pie/erred the wild life.
Questioning of his former life be
fore coming north were being made*
this afternoon.
Dempsey was tired, dirty and hun
gry. His clothes were torn and he
looked a most be-draggled individual.
Dempsey is young and has evidently
been one of those who feasted on dime
novels and attempted to imitate those
in the stories.
Dempsey will undoubtedly be taken
to Valdes on the Alaska and in the
meantime will be under close guard ac
the Federal jail.
