PUNGEs TO DEATH

PEARL HARBOR, H. T. Nov. 10
W. II. Rhode, observer, plummeted
to his death in a flaming Navy
plane last Tuesday while he and his
pilot were flying over the ocean a
short distance from here during
maneuvers. Bringing the ship out
of a dive, the pilot w. R. Wallace
noticed a tongue of flame licking
along a wing. In a daring effort to
extinguish the fire, Wallace climbed
out on the slippery wing with a
hand fire extinguisher while Rhode
held the ship on course. Wallace's
footing slipped and he parachuted
down into the sea where a destroyer
picked him up a short time later.
The destroyer then proceeding to
the position where the plane had
last been seen found only an oil
slicker covering the water which
told the grim fate of Rhode and the
burning plane.

SHAKES ISLAND
TO BE READY FOR
TOURIST SEASON

Linn Forrest, restoration special
list for the L. S. Forest Service. ar
rived in Wrangell this week aboard
the Ranger from Ketehikan for an
inspection of the Shakes Island pro-
jeet. Mr.. Forrest las charge OF the
various recreation projects which
the Forest Service has under con-
struction.
The Shakes Island project will be
in shape when the tourist season
starts in the spring, he said, as the
work is progressing nicely now.
With favorable weather, work IS ex-
pected to start soon on the con-
struction of the native community
house on the island which is to be
an exact reproduction of the original
Thlinglet community house. Totem
poles will be erected and plans call
for the construction OF an 18-foot
breakwater across to the island, the
latter a part of the small boat har-
Dor project.
Zone of the things sorely needed, -
Mr.. Forrest said, is the extension
by the city OF a sidewalk from the
end of the present one on Front
Street to the project SO that the
travellers will not have to walk in
the mud in the event inclement
weather. If the city could see its way
clear to build a walk, believe it
would be more than repaid in tour
list business which will come to the
city," Mr.. Forrest added.

result of the Staying of a Dutch citi-
re in a border uprising with Nazi
troops. Several other Dutch citizens
were kidnapped and carried across
the German frontier. A proclamation
has been issued by the Netherlands
authorities cancelling leaves OF all
soldiers and ordering them To be at
their garrisons by morning. Thous-
ands OF Nazi troops have been moved
up along the line which separates
Holland and Belgium from Germany
and it is feared these two little neu-
tral countries may again feel the
scourge of German invasion 1t is
known, officials declared, der Fuhrer
has accused the Netherlands OF sub
hitting to the British blockade and
it is thought this might be used as
an excuse Ior the Nazi leader to
move his armies into the land of
windmills and tulips. Fishermen in
the Netherlands have been warned
to refrain from using their radios
telling OF German plane flights over
their country as they had been in
the habit of doing for fear the Ger
mans might accuse them of espion-
age. Although both Holland and
Belgium are hoping for the best
the situation last night looked grim
and Holland was inundating more
land as a measure of defense.

With Life For
Brutal Murder
Especial to the sentine)


JUNEAU. Nov. 10-Only slight
ly shaken and insisting his inno-
eence to the last. Nelson Charles. 81,
condemned slayer of his mother-in-
law, 81, at Ketehikan. dropped
through the death trap at sac O.
clock this morning. He was pro-
nouneed dead six minutes later by
Drs W w Council and Vollert.
Charles slept we'll last night and
ate a hearty breakfast this morning.
He attempted to comb his unruly
black thateh of hair prior to his
walk to the gallows, located in the
Federal Jail from the death cell
He STROBE along unaided between U.
S. Marshal William T. Mahoney and
Deputy Marshal Walter G. Hellan
and appeared only yisibly shaken as
the minutes dragged while the Off
GERS were forcing the too small hood
over his heayy-haired head.
Claims Innocence
Asked by Marshal Mahoney for
his last statement, Charles said:
81 will say I am innocent of the
crime of killing my mother-in-law,
and I still say I am innocent"
The last words were barely audi
Bile Deputy Hellan then pulled the
signal switch to the jail house where
a concealed executioner tripped the
trap.
Only witnesses to the hanging be-
side the two officers were Drs. Coun-
ell and Vollert and Father LaVas-
seur of the Catholic church.
While Charles went to his death
here, his wife was being held in Jail
in Ketchikan on a charge of being
drunk and disorderly.
9TH Legal Execution
The hanging was the first legal
exectfon in Juneau, the second in
the First Judicial Division and the
seventh legal execution in the Ter
ritory. J. S. Bird, who killed two
men, was hanged in 1902 on the
dock in public at sitka. There have
been three legal executions at Fair
banks, one at Nome and one at VAL
DEE.
Final last minute plea for a stay
of execution was turned down in an
executive messages from Washington
yesterday. Charles had predicted
that it would be, and last night
joked with officers that he knew
he was going to hang because he
had been getting lamb chops and
chicken to eat. The condemned man
also made plans for his own funeral
and sent a parting message to his
wife in jail in Ketchikan.
