DOING TIME FOR MURDER
 CRIME NEVER COMMITTED.

Through the Department of Justice an investigation is being made of the case of Joe Campbell, who was sentenced in Iditarod in 1912 to life imprisonment for the murder of the Nelson brothers in the Kuskowim district in 1911.
 This investigation is said to have been ordered by reason of the fact that Campbell some months ago wrote from the penitentiary at Leaven worth, Kas., where he is serving sem tence, to newspapers in Alaska and to United States officials, making in- quiry for one Billy Barnhart. He claimed with the aid of this man rre might be able to prove his innocence. Barnhart was last seen by Campbell, according to his story, at Russian Mission, on the Yukon, on July 10, 1911, and the Nelsons were killed at some indeterminate time, supposed to be in June or July, 1911.
