mine whether he rings down the
curtain of life in a prison cell oi
it is hauled down by the hangs
man. Or will time intervene tc
thwart both of these. Myers is 7C
years of age.
Investigation of many angles oi
| the slaying of Murphy has failed
I to as yet reveal any extenuatingg
I circumstances that might be
pleaded in justification of Myer’s
act. Even allowing for the pre
judice of witnesses who saw Mur
phy fall with his back to his foe,
and while walking away as if bent
upon following his duties as fore
man of a working gang employed
by the Eklutna Light & Power Co.,
the prosecution is convinced that
but one plea may be offered by
I Myers, that of being crazed by
liquor and incapable of appreciat
ing the enormity of his act.
Legally, this plea cannot be ac
a jCepted in justification. Sentimen
r | tally, even hardened men—aye
| killers—frown upon a shot in the
■ back. Hence Myers’ position leaves
2 | him without the romantic senti
■ ,ment of the old border days when
jmen quick of temper and equally
■ jso on the trigger, stood face to
. face and the odds rested with him
who was the most deadly of aim.
Public opinion, which is freely
; expressed by both friends and ene
mies of the slain and alleged slay
er, seems to repose upon the above
| analysis. Murphy had a few'
| friends. He was known as a gun
man, quarrel ome and with a ten
dency to bully, especially when
under the influence of liquor. In
this respect Myers was his coun
terpart, acording to those who
claim to know him, save in that
Myers was vengeful, carried deep
seated hates, and. unlike Murphy,
more partial to the w'eapon than i
to fists in settling a difference.
It is claimed that Murphy was
defended by Senator Dimond for
a shooting in southeastern Alaska,
but this has not been confirmed.
Neither has a report that he also
had a gun play at Kenai. It is
known that about a year ago he
shot a man in the wrist, in an An
chorage rooming house, but it was
claimed to be an accident.
Railroad men report an instance
where Myers was intoxicated and
traveled over the railroad to
Eklutna. He wished to go to Mat
anuska, but Conductor Sharpless
declined to issue a ticket owing to
Myers’ condition. Whereupon, it
is alleged, Myers loaded a 22 cali
bre rifle and announced his inten
tion of shooting Sharpless, the lat
ter being compelled to keep clear
jOf the train when it stopped at
the station, and out of sight of
