GIVES DETAILS
OF ARREST OF
EVANS’SLAYER
The Seward Gateway gives the
following account of th# surrender of
Dempsey, the man who shot and
killed Marshal Evans, and who has
since confessed to the murder of a
woman of the underworld at An
chorage :
“Dempsey walked out from the
brush near the upper reservoir short
ly after 12 o’clock this noon and sur
rendered, with hands in the air, to
Aleck Little and Fred Martin. Demp
ey’s one gun was taken from him and
he was marched down to a cabin near
the sawmill, where he was turned over
to Marshal Brenneman and Deputy
Marshal Mossman, who had gone out
in an auto.
“He was brought into the city,
taken to the federal jail and there
questioned by the officers.
“Dempsey is sorry for his deed,
! said he had never killed a man before
and stated that Evans fired the first
shot.
“Shortly before 1 o’clock this after
noon Deputy Marshal Mossman was
called to the telephone in Cominis-;
sioner Whittlesey’s office and told by
Andy Rasmussen, at the sawmill, that
Dempsey had been captured.
“The word spread quickly and
every available auto with armed men
and otherwise was on the way to the
sawmill in quick time.
“At the cabin, where Dempsey was
held. Marshal Brenneman placed the
handcuffs on the murderer, hurried
him into an auto and took him to the
j federal jail.
“Dempsey has been wandering
around in the woods around Porcu
pine City since the hold-up of Brown
ell. Men have been near him often.
He did not know that he had killed
Evans until told so by Little and Mar
tin. Last night, shortly after dark
ness fell. Dempsey made his way to
the cabin where he slept last Satur
day night, going there to secure a
coat which had been left there. The
coat was gone. Dempsey stated that
on the road were armed men and he
'kept to the woods and worked around
to where he was taken today.
“He had planned to get the coat
out of the cabin and then make his
way into town and get something to
eat, according to his story told to the
authorities this afternoon.
“In telling of the incidents leading
up to the shooting, Dempsey stated
Evans told him in the marshal’s of
fice that he must be taken into cus
tody.
“ ‘On our way out from the office
and down the alleyway,’ said Demp
sey, ‘I drew my gun and told Evans j
not to shoot. Evans backed around the j
corner of the building and then fired
at me.’
“Dempsey says he returned the fire,
backing down the street. He did not
know that he had shot Evans fatally
nor did he know that one bullet had
gone through Evans’ hat.
“ ‘I didn’t mean to kill him,’ said
Dempsey, ‘I just wanted to get away.’
“Deputy Mossman asked Dempsey,
if he had committed no crime, why he
wanted to shoot a man.
“ ‘I have just been used to a wild
life and wanted to get away,’ I
he answered.
“Dempsey admitted using several
names, He said he was born in the
Children’s Aid Society in New York
city. His father’s name was William
Stewart. Dempsey admitted using
many names but always kept to the
name William.
“Deputy Mossman was suspicious
of the name ‘Stewart’ and Dempsey
said he could write to ‘Pop’ Wendell
‘who had charge of us boys for the
Children’s Aid Society.’
“Dempsey stated he was sent from
the Children’s Aid Society up to
Brace’s farm, at White Plains, N. Y.,
when he was about 12 or 14 years of
age. He also admitted being in the
Tongue river country in Montana,
and that he just ‘liked to have a gun,
liked to have one handy to shoot.’
He admitted in the earlier question
ing by- Marshal Brenneman and Dep
uty Mossman that he preferred the
wild life.
“Dempsey was tired, dirty and
hungry. His clothes were torn and he
looked a most bedraggled individual.
He is young and has evidently been
one of thoe who feasted on dime
novels and attempted to imitate those
in the stories.”
