M0RDtRER SHOT BY AANcHER BODY BROUGHT TO JUNEAU Escaped Convict Killed Yesterday
 Afternoon by Admiralty Island
 Man-Admitted His Identity and
 Was Immediately Shot.

JUNEAU, April 16.--Edw. Krause, the convicted murderer who escaped jail here last week was shot and in- stantly killed yesterday afternoon by Albert Grandson, an Admiralty Island rancher. Krause landed from small skiff on the beach in front of Frand sons residence and came running to- ward the house. Suspecting the iden tity of the man, Grandson secured his rifle and called upon Krause to halt. The latter came to a standStill and in reply to an inquiry from Grandson ad, mitted that his name was Krause and that he was the man who had escaped from the Juneau jail. Grandson im mediately fired. the bullet penetrating Krause's right eye and penetrating the brain. causing instant death. Frand- son immediately notified the authOri- ties and the body was brought here this morning and an inquest held over the remains.
 It is believed that Krause was fam ished and was making his way toward the house in search of something to eat. He was unarmed except for a silver case knife which had been hack ed was a razor into a saw with which he evidently sawed the bars of the cage when he made his escape. This does away with the theory that Krause had had assistance from the outside. The skiff with which he made the trip to Admiralty Island was very small one and would not have held two persons. It is presumed that he made his way from Juneau across to Douglas Island. where he stole the sklff and rowed across the channel to Admiralty island.
 Grandson, the man who killed Krause, has been ranching on Ad- miralty Island for number of years, and is we'll known in this section. He stated that he would have attempted to take krause alive but he feared the man, knowing that he was starv- ing and desperate. and took no chances on allowing the murder to come close to him.
