EXAMINATION, COLLEGE
(Anchorage Times)
An autopsy was held in the An
chorage Funeral Parlors to deter
mine the cause of the death ofi
Alfred Danieloft and Billie j
Stephan, who were burned in a!
cabin fire in Kenai on December
23, which will result in clearing
Steve Ephim of charges of man
slaughter.
One of the bodies had a clearly
defined indentation over the heart
and another hole to .correspond
with it was located just below the
shoulder blade. Without an ex- j
animation, these holes gave the j
appearance of a bullet having'
passed through the body. The
skulls of both bodies were so badly
burned as to make it appear that
they had been dealt a blow on the
base of the skull.
At the time of the finding of the
bodies in the ruined cabin, the
evidence showed that the door
had been locked from the outside
before the fire.
Steve Ephim, the owner of the
cabin, told different stories upon
being taken into custody and
questioned as to his knowledge of
the affair
X-Ray pictures of the supposed
wounds failed to show any depth
to the holes. There was no evi
dence of the passage of a bullet
thru the body, and there was no
outside matter shown to have en
tered the chest cavity. Upon the
examination of the interior of the
bodies, the heart was found to be
normal and intact. The supposed
wound in the back, below the
shoulder, also showed that the
'hole did not penetrate the chest
cavity. No ribs or other bones had
been shattered and the lungs of
both men showed that they had
met death through suffocation, j
and no cause could be found to |
be otherwise.
The appearance of both heads j
led officials to believe that tic1!
men had received blows at the {

to be caused by excessive heat
during the fire and the lack of
flesh to protect the bones. An ex

had been punctured.
