Mystery of Hijackers'
Victims May Be Solved
Seattle.—With the wholesale clear
ing up of Puget Sound’s many hijack
ing murder mysteries, grotniaed by
Canadian officers as an aftermath of
the investigation into the cruel bocal
ctdeson the rutn craft Bervl G., when
the captain and bis son were murdered
and tbeir bodies thrown into the
Sound, it was stated tod&v that the
•lay era of Andrew Johansen and Lud
wig Uoltan may finally b© brought to
light and the secret of the deatn of
Perle O’Neale and an unknown youth
who perished with them at last re
vealed
The bodies of Johansen and Holtan
were found, almost a year ago, washed
up on the beach id Dumas bay, a few
miles south of Seattle, near their
stranded and abandoned rum-running
gasboat, the Margaret Ann L-92 in
vestigators declared the men were the
victims of hijackers, although how
they were slain is as unaccountable as
what became of the liquor cargo said
to have been lifted from their boat.
Hunsacker and O'Neale and the un
known youth vanished without a trace
the day they left Discovery Island with
a boat lead of whisky, December 31,
1922. The boat was found later break
ing up on the beach of Iceberg pas*, its
cargo gone. A drifting hotly was idea
tided as Bunsacker's and buried on
the mainland near the international
border. _
