Due to Desire of Man for
Another's Wife.
BY the Associated Press

the frozen north beyond the farthest
outposts of civilization came last
night the details supplying the back
ground for the recently reported MUIR

This desire, it was explained by

unearthed the crime, was due to
shortage of women in the barren ice
lands. And this shortage. they added.
was the outcome of an Eskimo Gus

female children were put to death be-
cause of the shortage of food and the
unwritten Eskimo law that only the
most useful members of a community
should be permitted to live. There

condemned to death.
Details of the quintuple murder
have just been received here from
Police Corp. Doak, who is combing
the territory along IS degrees north

culprits to justice. The crime took
