TO SEARCH AGAIN
too Bounr
i
As soon as Diver Stagger returns
from his present work, he will be
again employed to search Gastineau
channel for the body of William
Christie in the vicinity of where Ed
ward Krause anchored his boat on
October 31, 1915. after taking Christie
aboard.
It now seems that the diver in his
former search only took in a circle
where the boat wa* anchored near
the Douglas side. Since it was claimed
that Krause went lo the Douglas side
and took aboard his boat rocks, and
then went out in the stream and an
chored, it was figured that he must
have used the rocks to weight the
body and dropped it close to where
he had anchored. It was not believed
that even .during the darkness of
night he would hardly care to use the
small skiff to carry a weighted body.
Then there is the place where his boat
was seen the next morning anchored
near the Juneau side. Since it is be
lieved that he forged the note to Mrs'.
Christie and placed it under her door
about midnight that same night, the
theory is held that he got rid of the
body quickly, and did not have a
chance to make a long trip down the
channel any place In bis launch. It
is now Intended to search the whole
of the channel this side of the bat
near where the boat was seen.—DIs
