Bristol Bay Men
May Have Died
From Exposure
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — A strong
possibility exists that the unex
plained deaths of two Alaska men
in the isolated Bristol Bay area
were caused by exposure, Clinton
Stein, FBI agent in charge here,
said today.
He made the statement after re
turning from Dillingham where
the bodies of Harold W. Griffen,
trading post manager, and Martin
Ernestus, 42, fisherman and can
nery worker, were found Jan. 3.
Stein said interviews with Mrs. I
Griffen and Maxine Harris, who |
attended a party at the Ernestus j
; home New Year’s Eve, failed to
clarify the mystery.
A dislocated wrist and cheek
1 abrasions received by Mrs. Griffen
i might have been caused by a fall,
i he said.
Belief that death may have been
J caused by exposure was prompt
I ed by discovery that the fire in
| the house had gone out and that
the temperature fell to around 10
j below that night, Stein said.
The organs of the two men have
been sent to Washington, D. C.,
for analysis by the FBI laboratory.
