TERRITORIAL PROTECTION
? ? ?
A whole week has passed and
the perpetrator of one of the
most fiendish crimes ever com
mitted inAlaska, for all we know
may still be at large.
Six murders in four years
within a radius of 100 miles,
and no one punished.
Several years ago Gov. Strong
advocated a system of Police Pro
tection, similar to the North
West Mounted Police n Canada
but nothing materialized.
It is only thru such organizat
ions that an infr.llible follow-up
system can tighten the network
of evidence closer and closer so
that no criminal escapes.
In Dawson Y. T. it took three
> ears and $250,000 to place n'
Biicn the murderer on the gal
lows — In the Fournier-LeBelle
case untiring vigilance was em
ployed to sift every grain of evi.
fence, till fir aby a $HC bill was
un-earthed which convicted
Fournier and was instrumental
in bringirg his partner LeBelle
back to the scene of his crime
where both were executed.
Cur officials are working day
and night, scarcely taking time
to eat or sleep, but they cannot
cover much ground, not having
ha.d the training required by
those who find themselves con
fronted with such tragedies.
We only ask our due in de
manding that a competent crim
nal detective be stationed in
each division, so that, in the
case of such emergencies, he
may immediately be on hand
to aid the local authorities.
