Regarding the news dispatch pub
lished in the Gateway some days ago
the following clipping gives more
light on the attempt to rob and the
attack made on R. V. Jewett, well
known Seward and Westward resi
dent:
An attempt to rob R. V. Jewett,
well-to-do miner of Seward, Alaska,
of $1,500 in a hotel on First avenue
S., failed, after' Jewett had been al
most killed during a murderous at
tack by a bandit armed with a ham
mer.
Robert Allen, alias Harold Warner,
is in jail and is said to have con
fessed to detectives Saturday morn
ing that he assaulted Jewett and had
planned the robbery for five days.
With Allen the police arrested Jack
Kinsley, 21. Both are held on open
charges.
Jewett, who had just received the
money from an Alaskan bank, had
hidden all of it except $300. He was
in bed when a man knocked at his
door and came in. Jewett said he
recognized the fellow as a casual ac
quaintance. The man drew a large
hammer and struck Jewett o the
head. Before Jewett could recover
he was beaten unconscious by several
other blows from the weapon.
The robber fled.
A squad of police searched the
hotel and found Allen in a nearby
room. A bloody hammer was found
hidden on a shelf and Detectives
Ernie Yoris, Chad* Ballard and Joe
Kokesh managed to obtain a confes
sion from Allen.
Jewett was to have sailed for Alaska
Saturday morning. Owing to his in
juries he will remain in Seattle. He
was released from the City hospital
but is still under medical care.
DEPUTY ADMINIS1 KA I UK BAUl\
AT JUNEAU HEADQUARTERS
FROM TRIP TO SEATTLE
The prohibition unit expects to
augment in the near future the pres
ent force of agents maintained in
Alaska, it was announced at Juneau
by Deputy Federal Administrator O.
E. Birgfeld, in charge of the district.
Administrator Roy C. Lyle also ex
pects to make this summer his long
delayed trip to the Territory, the
Empire states.
Mr. Birgfeld returned home from
a visit to district headquarters in
Seattle where he attended the annual
conference held by Mr. Lyle and his
aids. Conditions were discussed and
matters pertaining to prohibition en
forcement talked over. Mr. Birgfeld
was in Seattle two weeks.
His visit, generaly, was very sat
isfactory. He was encouraged by the
prospects of securing additional
agents for local activities which, he
said, would permit the Alaska branch
of the unit to cover the. field more
completely than has been possible in
the past several months.

man of Juneau, returned to his home
on the Alaska after a few weeks’
visit in the States.
