 OVER KRAUsE CASE

Plunkett of Juneau, William Christie of Treadwell and an unknown "C. F. Smith" is being held in the Pierce county jail at Tacoma. pending per nanent decision of Judge Neterer on the matters instituted by the writ of habeas corpus.
 A local newspaper said today: "Krause is in the Tacoma jail thanks to Sherif Robert Hodges refusal to follow the regulations laid down by the Federal government for treatment of Federal prisoners" and, the news paper further alleges. "that U. S. Mar shal Boyle. In an overwhelming de- sire to throw O dollar in Tacoma's way. continues to cart his prisoner back and forth between Seattle and Tacoma when the city jail in Seattle is safer"
 Either county prison is open to use of the federal authorities and both Marshal Boyle and Sherif Hodge have been grilled because of their lack of interest in tho case. In the face Of the fact that every scintilla of damaging evidence 80 far gathered against Krause outside of that se- cured by the Juneau authorities and newspapers. was due to the work of Detective Captain Charles Tennant and his men. 1t Is charged that Boyle and Hodge did not even take the trouble to send men to meet the steamship Jefferson. despite the ur- gent appeals of the Juneau authori- ties.
