KILLING, WILLIAMS >
BROUGHT TO KODIAK
KODIAK. Sept., 17, (Special to
t lie Gateway)—Sordid details of
the killing of Tom Williams at Lake
Becharof near Kanatak by Bob
Davis were brought back by the
judicial party that went there for j
the prisoner and to hold an inquest
and a preliminary hearing. From
all accounts it was as cold blooded
a murder as has been pulled off in
that district of many crimes for ;
many moons.
Davis, who is a plains Indian
from the Cherokee Strip, and who
is now in jail here, bound over for
the grand jury, slew his partner
Williams with a rifle.
The two men had been fishing at
Chignik during the early part of |
the season and had then moved to
Kanatak in preparation for the
trapping season. They went up to
Lake Becharof about seven miles
from the coast at Kanatak and on
the way to the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes where they se
cured a boat at an Indian village.
It was this boat apparently that
precipitated the trouble between

them.
Davis admitted the killing but
excused it on the ground that his
partner was going to steal the boat.
There were no eye witnesses, but
Davis said the deceased had at
tempted to get at him with a knife
but this proved to be only a small
pocket knife. As reconstructed from
such testimony as was available
and from the condition of the body
Williams was shot in the arm and
the thigh while in the boat. He is
then supposed to have run up the
bank to hide in the bushes but
Davis is alleged to have followed
him later and killed him where he
lay weltering in blood, a third bul
let going thru his torso and the
fourth and final copper-jacketed
missel going to pieces in his skull.
Members of the investigating party
were free to admit that it looked
like a considerable period of time
had elapsed between the first two
shots and the last two and that the
wounded man had laid in the brush
bleeding profusely.
The inquest and hearing were
held at Becharof and Kanatak by
U. S. Commissioner Stowe, assisted
by Dr. L. Pryor and Special Deputy
Marshal Norman Noble. Davis had
come down to Kanatak and report
ed the killing and was held under
civilian guard by Knight Mason, U.
S. government school teacher at
Kanatak who had notified this of
fice of the crime. This is the second
grewsome killing out of the Kana
tak district in the past few months.
