news of the Kanatak mystery 10 the Associated Press at Seattle by the Gateway a theory comes out of Valdez to the effect that the bodies found at Wide Bay may have been the victims of the mur- derous propensi ies of Charles Davis, confessed slayer of his partner Williams at Lake Beschar- of above Kodiak, and now under a 15-year sentence at McNeil's Is- land.
 1t is recalled that Davis made an extended confession at Valdez to the effect that hc and Williams had killed two mon on their trip from ChIgnik to Kanatak in the Tall of 1929 just prior to the mur- der of Williams by his partner.
 WEIRD STORIES
 n never took much stock in that confession of Davis said Assistant District Attorney E. F. Harwood here Wednesday, at least that part of it having to do with the alleged killings west of Kanatak. Davis story varied every time he told it, and in any event the cir- cumstances would not jibe with the finding of the headlesS bodies, rel ported to have been found close together.
 Davis said that he and Will Hams left Chignik in a small boat, coming eastward towards Kanatak. After a day or two's sailing their boat was wrecked and they were forced to take to the beach. After another day or so of travel they came upon a man who had land- ed on the beach with his boat. Needing a boat they killed the man. They then proceeded for a day or two more in the boat, but as it was painted in a peculiar manner they thought it might be easily identified so they abandoned it and took to the beach again.
 After two or three days more of hiking, Davis said they came to a cabin where man was living. Since he had plenty of grub and rifle they killed him too, took the grub and continued on their way since Chignik is a long was's west of Kanatak, these two sup posed victims could not possibly have been the bodies found at Wide Bay which is some 20 or 30 miles southwest of Kanatak. Fur thermOre, I believe that this story is more or less a figment of Davis imagination, because those people out there know each other and of each others whereabouts pretty we'll and we never have been able to find any one reported missing who might possibly have been the victim of Davis killing impulse"

The story of the second mystery has been brought forth by the pu- hlication Tuesday in the Gateway of the gruesome find of the two headless skeletons at Kanatak. Per haps, the two mysteries are linked together It is possible that one might be the solution of the other
 STORY FINALLY BREAKS
 According to Harry KaWabe, pro- prietor of the Seward Steam Laun- dry. who has been working quietly since last April through official circles and through friends to the westward he can get not the slightest echo regarding Kazahaya and Isashi. The former was a dar- ing but experienced boatnlan and rad been in Alaska for 20 years. much oI which time he spent at sea. He WIS we'll known through out the Westward. He was big man and rather well past middle age. The younger man, Sam Isashi, was Of husky calibre, and had been in the Territory for a couple of years conected with caaneries and locally, working at odd jobs
 The two had determined to try their luck at trapping and after oatfittlng here had showed off for the Westward, but had no parti cular destination They had eX peoted to return to Seward by April, at least, but to this day, no one vho knew them has seen them, that is, as far as MT. KaWabe knows. Kazahaya has a daughter for whom the boat was named llv- ing in Seward and two sons at Kodiak. They have never heard a word of their father since he put forth from this port.
 It is possible that the Tina. the boat which they set out in, was wrecked and that the two men were drowned and washed up on the beach of Wide Bay. This again gives rise to wide conjecture, II the boat was wrecked why was there no Wreckage found where the bodies were found? Perhaps 1t sank outright Again it may have been wrecked far from where the bodies were found, and the two men might have starved or frozen to death attempting to reach the nearest settlemen.
 POSSIBLE SOLUTION
 In his latter conjecture, it is pos ssple to connect the two mysteries, however, it again seems strange that on the two headless six a.etons recently picked np by U. $. Deputy Marshal Boyer and taken to KO- Giak, there seems to have been no shred of clothing that might lead to their Identification, neither was the coroners jury able to reach any satisfactory conclusion regard ing the manner of death.
