Stewart, alias William Cummings,
alias Jack Smith, alias Jack Nichols,
but whose true name is William
Dempski, was tried at Valdez last
winter for the murder of Isaac
Evans, the deputy marshal at Sew
ard, and for the murder of Margaret
i Lavor, a woman of the underworld,
at Anchorage. For these crimes
Dempsey was twice indicted, twice
tried, twice found guilty of murder
in the first degree, and twice se nt
enced to be hanged. The execution
was to take place on February 20,
1920. Writs of error were sued out
to the Ninth Circuit Court of Ap
peals but before a transcript of the
testimony was made, Dempsey’s
sentences were commuted to life im
prisonment. The reason for this
commutation of sentence '.eenis to
be somewhat of a mystery; every
official in Alaska who had anything
to do with the case and who was
given an opportunity to make a
recommendation, strenuously oppos
ed any commutation. The depart
of justice and the pardon attorney
also opposed any change in the
sentences as pronounced by the t'.is
i trict court. Nevertheless, President
| Wilson last May commuted liis
| sentence to li£c imprisonment. It
j is thought that Dempsey's youth
! may haave appealed to the Presi
| dent. Dempsey, claimed to be only
i 19 years of age, but at the time of
j being sentenced he made a lengthy
j speech and upon being questioned
' by Judge Bunnell, concerning some
i of the statements he made, it was
! disclosed that if his statements were
: true, he was at least 24 years old.
i James Watson, a native, was ar
‘ rested at Juneau recently and fined
$50 for killing a deer. The meat
was confiscated by the authorities.
Dr. H. L. Hedger and Charles L.
Thompson returned to Fairbanks
yesterday, after a several-day visit
in Nenana and along the line south
of town.

1 BIG ICE POOL HAS CLOSED;
IS BIGGEST YET RECORDED
—
Guessing in the big annual Ne
nana ice pool, classic event of the
Northland, came to an end at mid
night, last night, and while it
is not possible at this time to give
I the exact amount in the pool, it is
j known that it will run considerably
j over the $5,000 mark. More than
5,000 tickets were disposed of in
i Nenana and Fairbanks, and the
I camps along the line, south of Ne
nana are yet to be heard from. It
is expected that they will send the
total over $6,000.
The Terminal led the Nenana list
of sales, with a total of 2,213, and
the Portland sold 1,476, in addition
to which there w'ere the sales of
the railroad and N. C. store. Fair
banks reports a sale of 1,283 tick
ets.
I It is the intention of the com
j mittee in charge of the pool to list
| all the guesses before placing the
' tickets in the N. C. safe. This is a
new departure and is done as an
additional safeguard and to expe
dite the work of determining the
winner when the ice goes out. All
of the other details in connection
with the big contest have been look
ed after and there is nothing to be
done now but to wait for the flag
to pull the wire which will stop the
clock in the power plant and start
the big commission whistle blowing.
Nearly everyone in Nenana has a
guess or more on the breakup and
j some have many guesses. And in ad
1 dition there are several big pools,
the largest of which is known as the
Big X. representing a total of 200
tickets.
Chief Steward A1 Clarno thinks
he has the ice pool cinched. During
his stay in Fairbanks he took Mr3.
Clara Holmes into partnership on a
ticket, and he has Charlie Beam’s
word for it that they ought to get
the money.
Fred McGuire went to Fairbanks
yesterday.
