 Story of the Crime

0NaA VI NAAN VI ttAAH
 On october 25th. 1915, few days less than year ago, James o. Plunkett and Edward Krause left Juneau on the gas boat Lue for trip to one of the nearby points, ex- ac. destination not know Previous ly 10 leaving. Pmnkett made arrange ments to be in Juneau the follow ing day and take Peter Early md a party of men to Yankee Basin.
 The Lue was seen the next morn- ing going down the Channel with both Krause and Pmukett on board and was seen again on Hobart Bay under similar conditions.
 The Lue and Plunkett did not re- turn. but Krause arrived in Juneau within the next few days on the steamer Humboldt. A letter received at the customs house about that time explained that the Lue had been burned off Hobart Bay, and that PlunRalt had lost all except 9 few oG his personal effects. The letter stated ,hat Pmnkett was in WrAn- gell and was going south, but would return to Juneau within q few weeks. The letter inclosed the li- cense of the Lue and was signed by what purporied to be the sig nature of James Pirnkett.
 Arrive in Petersburg
 Early on the morning following the departure rom Juneau Of Plum kett and Krause, the latter arrived in Petersburg in She skift or tae Lue md engagld lcdging in the rooming house of Sing Lee, whera he remained the next day and pat ot the following night.
 After Krause returned to Juneau on the Humboldt, William Christie of Treadwen disappeared, after having been Msed from the Island by Q taSe subpoena served oa him by Edward Krause. The alaru was given ahd the search for both Christie and Ed- ward Krause was started. Krause took his boat from its moorings at the Union oil Dock and anchored i, in the Channel above Juneau. It was boarded there by Federal off cers and the contents of the boat noted. During the same night Che boat disappeared and widespread search for Krause and Christie, as we'll as Plunkett was organized. The search was prosecuted for several 1 weeks and reached as lar south as Wrangen.

 sighs. as 1T a weiga, had been lift ed from them.
 When Krause was removed from the court room, he was handcuffed, for the first time since his trial first started. Formerly when taking him to and from the court roof, the practice had been to handcuf him to one of the deputy marshals, but last night both or his hands were se- cured.
 The murder case was ended yes terday afternoon when District At torney James A. Smiser completed arguments for the government. He delivered a masterful and well-stud- led speech. detailing the facts in the case clearly and coneisely. He took the testimony of each witness as 1t had been presented and told the jury why and how 1t applied to the present case and how each link dovetaiIed into the proceeding link to weave the chain of unbreakable evidence on which the government relied for a conviction,
 Judge Jennings in his instructions told the jury exactly what evidence they shonld consider. and what was not to influence them in the pres ent case. He detailed the five dl; ferent yerdicts which the jury could return and called their attention to the gravity Of their duty. to either take from a fellow man his He, imprison him for life, or turn him loose. The instructions were clear and detailed the law governing the Plunkett case exactly.
 The trial of Edward Krause for the murder of James O. Plunketi started in the District Court on Sep tember 18th. when the work Of SC. curing the jury was started. Exac. ly 100 men were examined before twelve acceptable 10 both sides were secured.

stated this morning that an appeal to q higher court will be taken. Mir. Krauczunas stated that in his opln- ion Krause did not have fair trial as certain errors in evidence and law had been allowed which made sufficient grounds for a reversal Of the verdict.
 It is thought that sentence will oe pronounced upon Krause within the next few days. although the ex- act date is not known.

Ing him with forgery and on March 3Oth one more indictment for the same ofense was returned The for geries charged were those regarding fake subpoena which he served on William Christie, an order on the Dexter Horton Bank at Seattle for certain money to be paid Krause from the account of K. Yammamoto, and an order of the entire bank ac- count to Krause. He was indicted for forging a mortagage for $2,0OO in favor of Edward Krause and coy- ering certain property owned by Yammamoto in Vancover. Krause was also charged with forging the signature of Plunkett to the customs house letter.
 Down To Plunkett Case.
 On March SOth an indictment against Krause chargingTobbery was returned. This charged that Krause robbed James Punkett of certain articles of personal property, includ- ing the engine on the gas boat Lue, and the articles found on the boat of Krause, and which were introduced as evidence in the murder trial.
 On April 18th, Krause was indicted for fraudulent use of the mail on two occasions and the next day an- other indictment for the same of- fense was returned Krause was convicted on one indictment and the other two cases were continued.
 Two indictments for first degree murder were returned against Krause on April 19th of this year. and he has just been convicted on one of them The other indictment charges that he made away with K Yama- moto near Petersburg early in 1915.
 Krause is also thought to be re- sponsible for the death of Ole Moe. who disappeared near Petersburg while on a hunting trip with Krause, but no proof of the contention has been found It is known that Krause received mail in Juneau addressed to Ole Moe and that he has secured property belonging to Moe. Krause was travelling under the name of Moe when arrasted in Seattle.
 Rrause has also been convicted of Kidnapping. and falsely pretending to be an officer, for which crimes he has been sentenced to lS years. The other crimes for which he has been convicted are forgery, fraudulent use Of the mails, when he mailed the forged Yamamoto mortgage to Van couyer to have it filed and foreclos ed,
 Great credit is due to District At torney James A. smlser and Assist mt Distrir AtGmty John J K-, gan for the way in which they have handled the Krause ease in the courts; to F. F. Llschke. for ferret ing out the different evidence which was produced in court to forge the chain Of evidence which resulted in the conviction of Krause, and to William Kent and Captain Tennant, of Seattle, for the able way they handled the case in Seattle at the time Of the arrest of Krause, and in fact to all who marshalled in eyi-
