DETAILS OF
JUNEAU, April 16.—With one bul
let through his body near the heart
and with one bullet wound through
the head, ranging from his left eye
to the back of his right ear, the corpse
of Edward Krause, escaped murderer,
for whom hundreds of men have been
[searching since last Thursday night,
is lying in the work room at the fed
eral jail.
| Krause was shot and killed by Ar
|vid Fransen at Doty’s cove, on Admi
| ralty island yesterday afternoon at
exactly 2:30 o’clock, after Krause had
approached the house and was recon
1 noitering, seemingly after food. This
: morning an inquest was held in the
office of U. S. Commissioner N. L.
i Burton to establish the identity of the
| dead man, and also to establish the
; exact manner of his death. The jury
! exonerated Fransen of all blame in
[ connection with the death of the out
[ law.
Arvid Fransen was the first witness
j called and told his story as follows:
I “I was working at Thane installing
I an engine in a boat for Steve Kane
'of Hoonah, and heard of the escape of
: Krause. I had intended to leave for
] my home on Saturday afternoon, but
on learning of the escape decided to
go there at once, and left at 10 o’clock
Friday for home in a 24-t'oot Colum
bia river boat with two Greeks and
R. K. Murphy.
“Mr. Murphy left us at Du Pont,
and I continued to my home. The
Greeks slept in their boat in the bay
all night, and left for Juneau the
next morning.
“At one o’clock yesterday afternoon
my wife saw a small boat rounding a
large rock on the beach a long ways
from the house. She called by atten
tion to it, and we watched it come in
towards the mouth of the river. In
stead of coming into the river, the
man in the boat turned off and landed
about three-quarters of a mile from
the house, after he had stood up in
the boat and looked all around for a
i long time. I went out and hid behind
i a stump to see who the man was but
j
'on account ol the distance was unable
to see, and lost sight of him in the
i
brush.
“Papa, Here Comes a Man."
“Just as we were sitting down to
I dinner, one of the children looked out
land saw him coming towards the
i
j house.
“ ‘Papa, here comes a man,’ said the
'little fellow.
“I told my wife to take a broom
and start sweeping on the front porch,
while I got the rifle which was hang
I ing on the wall in direct line with the
man and with an open window be
tween us.
“I heard my wife say ‘Good Morn
ing,’ but did not hear any reply.
‘T then stepped into the open with
the rifle aimed at him and asked,
‘Are you Krause?’
Teeth Set Tight.
“ ‘Yes,’ he answered.
“His teeth were locked tight and he
spoke through them. His eyes were
set and glaring and I never saw a
more ferocious face on any man.
“As Krause answered my question
he half turned towards the corner of
the house, as if he would attempt to
get behind the corner. He had a
bulge under his coat which made me
think he had a gun, and I shot. The

bullet hit him in th-' side, I don’t know
exactly where as his turn threw my
aim a little off.
Fires Two Shots.
“As the first bullet struck him, he j
clapped his hands to his side and
turned more towards the corner of the j
house and I shot him again. The1
second bullet hit him somewhere in
the head and knocked him clean off
his feet. He fell and struck on the
side of his face and never moved.
“1 straightened the body out and
covered it up. I then took my oldest
girl and placed her in a small boat
and rowed out to Grand island where
a boat load of Indians were on guard
and informed them that I had killed
Krause, and asked that they go to'
town and inform the marshal.”
Wife Called to Testify.
Mrs. Fransen was called and cor
roborated the story of her husband.
She stated that when she spoke to
Krause he returned her “Good Morn
ing.” She was able to give no addi
tional details to the story of the
killing.
Itr. Sloane was called and testitieil
I
that he had examined the body. “One
bullet entered the front part of the
body half way between the tip of the
shoulder and the base of the neck,";
he said, “ranging backwards and i
downwards through the body. I do '
not think that wound would have kil- '
led him instantly, but might have
caused him to bleed to death. The1
other bullet entered the left temple
at a place two inches above the outer
I corner of the left eye and came out
j behind the right ear. This bullet
| caused instant death in my opinion, as
; the skull is badly shattered,” he said.
| Sam Christensen was called and
i identified the body as that of Kdward
Krause. He stated that he knew
Krause very well, through having
i seen him several times every day dur
i ing the past year while serving as
guard at the jail. District Attorney
J. A. Smiser then told of the escape
and the offering of the reward for the
| return of Krause, ‘dead or alive.”
The jury was composed of C. I’.
O’Kelley, Thomas Krigbaum, Ray H.
Stevens, William H. Seeley, A. It. Wil- .
son, and Oapt. J. T. Martin.
Figured on Ksruping.
After the other witnesses had fin
ished, Fransen again took the stand
and explained the location of his
house and where Krause and he were
standing.
“The building is about ,‘!2 feet long,
half of it being used as living quar
ters and the other half as a stable.
The entrance is in the middle of the i
building. I was standing in front of
the door near the middle of the build
ing.
“My wife was standing on the
porch and the children were watching
through the window. Krause was
standing about 12 feet from the cor- |
ner of the house and about 20 feet;
from me. As I halted him the firSi.'
time, he looked at the river, at my |
wife and at the corner of the building ,
as if figuring on how to get away.1
