FIENDISH MURDER
 AT NUSHAGAK
SCHOOL TEACHER BEATS HIS WIFE TO DEATH PRESENCE
 OF CHILDREN
{ Frnm Gatewar nf Feh. 2Ol

(From Gateway of Feb. POI
 The victim of the tragedy was Mrs. Alexander Mclean, wife of the government school teacher at Nushagak, and the evidence shows that she was slowly tortured to death. The torture is reported to have lasted throughout Wednesday night and a part of Thursday morn ing when death came to the relief of the victim. The Gateway ac- count of the tragedy follows:
 Trouble arose in the Mclean home early Wednesday evening when Mrs. Mclean was preparing to attend a wedding. Mclean who is high-tempered and vindictive in disposition, suddenly hurled the lighted lamp at the woman. The lamp was smashed when it struck her, spraying oil over her which instantly burst into flames, Fear ing that the house would be set on fire, Mclean threw blanket over her and smothered the fire after her dress had partly burned off.
 Then knocking the woman down he kneeled upon her hips and with her face downward, he grasped her by the hair and churned her face up and down on the floor until he was tired. Then calling their little son, Hector he ordered him to bring him his tobacco and while seated on the
 wonan's neck and shoulders he cooly rolled a cigarette and smoked it. That done he again began churning the woman's head and breast against the floor.
 While doing this a messenger was sent to the Mclean home from the hall where the wedding was being celebrated to get song books in the custody of Mclean. In answer to the repeated knocking Mclean finally came to the door and getting the books handed them to the messenger and then renew ed his assault upon his wife who was lying nsensible on the floor.
 The MeLeans have four children, three of whom, two boys and a little girl, were in the house in a state of hysterical fear and terror. The oldest of these, boy of ten says that his father rested from time to time and then renewed his assaults upon his wife. The woman is supposed to have died sometime yesterday morning. In the after noon Mclean sent message to Rev. B. P. Kassevaroff, priest of the Greek Church at this place, who is the uncle of the dead woman, notifying him that Mrs. Mclean was dead. Later Mclean admit ted to Rev. Kassayeroff that he had killed the woman, but at the in 1uest held here this morning, he declared that his wife was killed in a runaway of his dog team, the sled overturning and dragging her body for hundreds Of yards.

jury brought in a verdict that she came to her death from injuries received at the hands of Mclean. Mclean was arrested by United States Marshal H. J. PauIsen, and is now in the Dillingham; jail
 Mrs. Mclean was the daughter of Rev. Kassaverofyf. priest of the Greek church of Kodiak, Alaska. She and Mclean have been married about twelve years. She was known here as an excellent housekeeper and a good mother.
