would say no more.
J Juneau, Nov. 26—That Captain
James O. Plunkett left Juneau on
his last trip, in belief that he was
to bo well paid for the use of his
boa» became known today when Al.
! V. Manville, a surveyor, one of
the last men to see Plunkett alive,
returned from Taku. "i was
talking with Plankett at S o'clock
on the evening of October
23," Jlanviiie said this morning.
"I asked him If he intended taking
out the mining party which he had
contracted with for the trip. He
replied 'No, X have a better trip.' 1 |
asked nim about the trip and he I
shook his head and said, 'It te
sealed orders.' I gathered from
his remarks and his attitude that
he was to be well paid. Plunkett
mentioned Douglas, but I cannot re
; member whether he said he was
1 going to Douglas, or whether he
; said he expected to me> t a man
! from Douglas. We were in Mc
Cain's cigar store and l'lunkett
| went over and sat down by the
I stove. About twenty minutes latt
er a heavy-set min with a brown
j overcoat came i.i and calif d him
out It was not Krause, for I
saw Krause's picture today. Per
■ haps an hour la*er I saw Plunkett
and the same man standing in
I fron» 0f the Juneau Liquor com
Manviile's story brings a new fig
ure iu the ivrause case, and
strengthens 'he theory advanced by
many that Kraut: e bad an accom
plice.
Iho mysterious rumors that a
secret society exists iu Soui.ieastern
Alaska, and that Edward Krause
was its de facto head, were again
afloat today, following tho return
of Rohle and Jensen, of ihe Lil
lian. They declared that while they
made a thorough search of the main
body of water iu Port Houghton,
they did not go through the nar
row slough leading into Upper Lake,
at the farthermost reach of Port
Houghton, for fear that if the Lue
was bidden along the slough or
iu the lake that they mignt meet
with trouble. Neither of the men
were willing to leave their launch
for any length cf time, for the
sam« reason.
The trappers who reported having
seen a boat corresponding to the
Peterson, were positive that the
description of the Lue, and com
municated their findings to the
boat was Plunkett's. But, it is
■said, it was not at the place which
they had described, when the Lil
lian called there.
