RICHMOND, Va, June 2S.-Walter
]. Sydnor, arrested in Alexandria last
night charged with the murder of
his second wife on the night of June
IA, reached here this afternoon in
charge of Detectives Gentry and An
thony.
The night following the murder.
the police say, Sydnor went to the
home of relatives and asked to be
given clothing, and when questioned
opened his coat, showing blood
spattered shirt. He was asked if he
had been in a fight, and. the police
were told, remarked: NO fight, but
it is worse than that. l have killed
a woman"
He was then given clothes and
some money and he disappeared. The
soiled clothing was taken to the river
and thrown in. These statements
have been made in writing and are
in the hands of the officers. Sydnor

statement when brought back, but
smoked a cigarette and posed for d
picture.
Tracked by Detectives.
Detectives of this city were close
behind Sydnor after the finding of
the body of his wife, whose skull
was crushed with d monkey wrench.
He went to Baltimore and Washing
ton, it is said.
A telegram from this city to James
Brown" the name under which he
was living, to Alexandria, was his
undoing, the officers having set a
trap for him.
Sydnor had been three times mar
rled-one wife coming from Roanoke
and one from Norfolk. The Norfolk
wife was divorced, but he had a wife
here when he married Mrs. Violet
Worley, the police say. He had told
the latter of his other wife, and she
was the only person that knew of it.
She told her parents and they urged
her to give him up to the police.
The night of the killing the man had
Just gotten to the city after an
absence of some time, and he asked his
wife to meet him to talk over a
separation.
1t was stated today that a few

Anchorage Alaskan)

N@AiiSiAoASSS <AIttohClilJ
 Led to the cacne by Howard Since han, the 5000 worth t1urs which were stolen last week from Hjalmel Evans, were found cunningly hidder away in hoe in the ground, one anc one half mics out the Lake SpenarC road.
 While MT. Evans was in his room at the Parsons hotel, knock sounded on the door and upon Evans replying "come in", young Sheehan walked in Evans asked him what he wanted and the following conversation took place:
 T got photograph which I believe shows the spot where the furs which were stolen from you, are cached" Sheehan said
 "Is that so," Evans answered. And where are they?"
 "Well, it will cost about $20O to get them,' Sheehan stated.
 That's all right; III pay it to get the furs back" was the answer Evans gave him.
 Besides, Sheehan continued, q would like to have an extra hundred to go outside, as 1 am in bad with the bootleggers."
 With that, Evans compromised with him, stating he would give him $50, which amount was agreed upon.
 They left the hotel together and Evans told Sheehan as they came into Fourth Avenue, "Go up to Bob Court ney's room in the Shonbeck Apart ments, and tell him I want him to go out with me-" Sheelan came back and reported that Courtney was not in. In the meantime Evans saw E. R. Tar water, cashier of the Bank of An chorage, coming down the street and he told him about the affair and asked him if he would go out with him. Tar water said he would go, so going over the street, Evans, Sheehan and Tar water got into "Shorty's" automobile and under the directions of Sheehan, drove out to Chester Creek, where the railroad crosses the road near the old brink yard. Here the men got out and were taken directly to the cache which was about 150 yards from the rail- road crossing, where natural pit in the bank over which was heaped brush, making the cache absolutely unnotic- able, the fox furs were found intact, half of the turs in a gunny sack and the rest piled loosely underneath.
 The furs were loaded into the car brought into town and locked in the Bank of Anchorage valuts.
 Evans gave Sheehan $10 and said he would see him later. Sheehan then left them and Evans reported the affair to Deputy Frank Hoffman. Evans told of the entire affair to Hoffman but said he had given his word that he would not divulge the name of the man who had tipped him off to the cache. Hoff. man ascertained the name of the man easily from other parties however, and whn he confronted Evans with the name, Evans said, ives, it was Howard Sheehan."
 Hoffman stated to the Alaskan that young Sheehan has been under sur veillance by the officers since the day of the robbery. It is stated that Shee hand and others were seen in the Par sons hotel the night before the rob bery and that on the night of the theft of the furs he had been noticed stand ing on the alleyway back of the ho tel

CITY OF KETCHIKAN
SWEPT BY FLAMES

Ketchikan. the second largest city
in Alaska, was swept Sunday nigh
by a great fire.
Dispatches telling OF the confla-
grafton reached Washington today
from the coast guard cutters Cygv
and Smith, which were on the scene
assisting. the city and fighting the
flames.
The official telegram sent from
Seattle to headquarters here today
reads: Largest fire in history of
ketchikan last night. Cygan and
Smith assisted in fighting fire. Re
quest of city officials armed guard
from Cygan and Smith patroling
burned area. Prevent looting safes
containing valuables estimated at
100000.
Further details were lacking. The
city of ketchikan, according to coast
guard officials familiar with it, is
one of the important fishing and
trading ports of southern Alaska,
being the first port of entry over the
Canadian Alaskan line.
Owing to the coast climate, where
it is said that rain falls practically
every day, it was thought that ma
ture probably aided the fire fighters.
At this season of the spring the In
dianS and fishermen usually are plan
ming for their salmon fishing to open
within Il few days and the fire. Off
cialS thought, may have seriously
crippled the fishing industry in that
section of Alaska.
with motion pictures, "A roller skating
rink, two banks, post office and with
the principal eating house there
known as Bull Dog Coffee Shop"
Ketchikan ranks in size second only
to the capital of the territory, the city
of Juneau.
