Coroner DR.. Walkem of Nanaimo. who
was in charge, went ashore alone, facing
Kennedy's rife. DR.. Walkem was un-
armed. but wanted to argue with Ken

render.

away Kennedy drew bead on him and
ordered him away. Walkem replied that
the Chief of Police Stewart, and the
officers who were in the boat were sent up
armed to arrest Kennedy for murder and
they would do it whether he resisted or
not. Their orders were to take him dead
or alive aud they would do it,

arms. saying he only came ashore expecting
peaceable surrender.

you get me; but you never will If they
Come ashore after me. let them look out"

piled by sending a shot into the middle Of

ter volley was then fired at him, but he
escaped unharmed and went into the
