Takotna, Alaska, November 29, 1930. rNQUESTf'sgAILS TO, SUPPORT
 MURDER THEORY IN PASSING
 OF MCCARTHY MINING MAN

Howard D. Foster, whose dead body was found September 22 in a cabin on Dan creek, 20 miles from Mccarthy, came to his death by his own hand, according to the findings of coooner's jury which investigat- ed the case under the direction of U. S. Commissioner E. E. Chamberlain U. s. Attorney w. N. Cuddy, Assist ant U. s. Attorney Leroy Sullivan, and other federal officials.
 When the death was first reported the Mccarthy commissioner and a squad of men went to Dan creek and proceeded to hold an' inquest. They found Foster stretched out in a bunk, with both arms up in front of his face as if to protect himself, one hand on his face, hiding his nose and one eye, and the other hand above him. Near the collar bone on the right side there was a. bullet wound and the bullet, later vas found lodged against the spine.
 The body was found in. a cabin be- longing to Lee Lancy and because of that the Investigators assumed the dead man to be Yancy, notwithstand- ing the fact that several of those con- ducting the investigation knew both Foster and Yancy and the further fact that there was no resemblance between the two mon, Foster being tall and partially bald, and Yancy being rather short. The finding of a .32 revolver on a table 15 feet from the bunk, with one cartridge explod- ed, convinced the jury that "Yancy'' had been murdered and verdict of murder was brought in.
 When Yancy learned that he had been murdered by the jury he made

and might have been Respondent. One of the investigators put on pair of socks similar to those Foster wore and walked from the table to the bed, without showing signs of walk ing except for few slivers picked up on the floor. They tried to prove that it was suicide and succeeded.
 "The law can, do very, little if men who know something about the, mur- der of McCarthy Rose, Petri, Neu- mann and Foster are unwilling to tell what they know, but it is certain that the more unsolvef there are the more willing the people will be to tell"

GAME WARDENS WILL
 USE PLANES HEREAFTER

Extensive use of airplanes for pa trol of Southeastern Alaska areas by the Alaska Game Commission next year is strong probability, according to H. w. Terhune, executive officer, who returned recently to his Juneal headquarters. The successful use of a plane recently in the. southern end of the district, in which a long-stand- ing violation of 5ae A.sska game law was broken up, has convinced the commission of the practicability of aerial patrols and of their effective ness. The commission, in using lhe planes, expects to be able to cover more territory and inspect it more closely than by boat, which is the method now Used.
 E. q am confident we can break up the activity of poachers who, taking advantage of natural coniitions, have been able to operate quite extensively in some districts despite our most strenuous efforts to break up il,asal trapping. Due to their inroads on the beaver, it is not possible for the commission to open the beaver sea- son in Southeast Alaska at the same time it will be thrown open in a linn ted way in other sections of the Ter ritory in the near future,' Mr., Ter hume said.
 colonies of beaver have been wiped out by poachers, and the increase has been very limited in the past two years, it was said. By using planes, Mr., Terhune pointed out, it will not be difficult to locate all trappers and observe their operations
 It is not unlikely that all trap lines in the Territory will be registered in the future, Mir. Terhune said-E Dur: ing his ecent visit to Prince Rupert and Vancouver he conferred with game officials of British Columbia relative to the success of the plan in that province. He found that it had worked out to the utmost satisfaction both to the government and trappes, and he will submit the plan to the Alaska Game Commission at its an nual meeting, this month.

vigorous protest to the commissioner, and that official decided to hold an- other inquest, which was done. This time it was made certain that it was Foster who was dead, but the second jury was not so sure about the mur- der angle of the case. It was decided that Foster shot himself in the side and laid the gun on the table and then walked 15 feet the bunk and stretched himself out to die. No pow der stains could be-found on his white shirt and there was no evidence to show that he had moved after being shot.
 It was brought out that Foster had been drinking before starting for Me Carthy in response to request to go to town to sign some mining papers. He carried a small pack of provisions when he started down the creek, and when he reached the Yancy cabin at the mouth of Dan creek he took pos session of the place, in the absence of the owner, and prepared to spend the night there, which is musher's priv ilege on the trail. He cooked a meal, using the provisions he had with him, and the remnants of it, found on the table, showed that he had eaten heartily.
 As summed up by the Cordova Times, the most remarkable thing about the scene of the shooting was the absence of blood. None on: the gun, none on the table, none about the bunk, and none on Foster him self. ''If death had been instanta ae- ous," the Cordova paper argues, 1t is possible that all the bleeding was internal, into tthe chest cavity It would have been virtually impossible for Foster to have moved from the time that he was shot until he died unless he left sign of blood. It would have been almost impossibla for him to have shot himself, placed the revolver on the table and re turned to the bunk without leaving sign. Men who contemplate suicidf do not, as general rule, shoot them selves in the right side; they want to be more certain of sudden death. Men with suicide in their minds do not usually eat heartily before death; they are too morbid. And men who commit suicide do not, as a general thing, hold the weapon so far away that it leaves no powder burns.
 Here are the reasons that the yer dict of suicide was returned: The@in- yestigators found that the same gun, with similar cartridges, left nc DOW der marks, visible to the naked eye, when fired six inches away from the same shirt Foster wore. They con cluded that the man could have put the gun on the table and walked to the bed without leaving sign of blood. All suspects had pretty good alibis to offer. Foster had been drinking and might have been ira tional. He had received notice that there was no money forthcoming for work done on the Westover claims,

feathers and left him to play with
an ugly pig.
The pig was sad because his tail
refused to curl and his fellow pork
ers had deserted him for this rea-
son.
