In a letter received during the
week by Chief OF Police Jack Chow
in, from Martin Roduit, the hero Of
the battle with the police force
states that he is likely to be back
in Fairbanks in the near future. The
letter is dated Tacoma, and its con-
tents indicate that Roduit, who was
sentenced to two years imprison-
ment, must have received a pardon
or d parole, as it was only in Sep
tember, 1910, that the crime was
committed Roduit had been on a
protracted spree and when he was
interfered with by Lou Conway, the
then chief of police, he turned loose
a gat as big as a house at both
Conway and Jack Chovin. He got
the worst of the encounter and re-
ceived slight wound in edition to
the sentence that was subsequently
handed out to him.
