EVANS RECOVERS STOLEN
Fd«S bY UFfM KtVVA^ii)
(Anchorage Alaskan)
Led M the caene by Howard Shee
han, the $ioUO worth o Hurts which
j were stolen last week front Hjalmer
Evans, were found cunningly hidden
away in a hoie in the ground, one and
one half mdes out the Lake Spenard
road.
While Mr. Evans was in his room
at the Parsons hotel, a knock sounded
on the door and upon Evans replying
i “come in”, young Sheehan walked in.
; Evans asked him what he wanted and
j the following conversation took place:
"I got a photograph which I believe
j shows the spot where the furs which
j were stolen from you, are cached,”
Sheehan said .
“Is that so,” Evans answered. “And
where are they?”
“Well, it will cost about $200 to get
them,’ Sheehan stated.
“That's all right; 111 pay it to get
tlie furs back,” was the answer Evans
gave him.
“Besides, Sheehan continued, “1
would like to have an extra hundred
: to go outside, as 1 am in bad with
the bootleggers.”
With that, Evans compromised with
him, stating he would give him $150,
I which amount was agreed upon.
: They left the hotel together and
Evans told Sheehan as they came into
Fourth Avenue, “Go up to Bob Court
ney’s room in the Shonbeck Apart
ments, and tell him I want him to go
I out v ith me.” Sheehan came back and
reported that Courtney was not in. In
i the meantime Evans saw E. R. Tar
water, cashier of the Bank of An
| chorage, coming down the street and
j he told him about the affair and asked
him if he would go out with him. Tar
\ water said he would go, so going over
| the street, Evans, Sheehan and Tar
water got into “Shorty’s” automobile
; and under the directions of Sheehan,
1 drove out to Chester Creek, where the
I railroad crosses the road near the old
1 brink yard. Here the men got out and
: were taken directly to the cache which
was about 150 yards from the rail
road crossing, where a nautral pit in
the bank over which was heaped brush,
making the cache absolutely unnotic
able, the fox furs were found intact,
half of the furs in a gunny sack and
the rest piled loosely underneath.
The furs were loaded into the car
brought into town and locked in the
Bank of Anchorage valuts.
Evans gave Sheehan $10 and said he
would see him later. Sheehan then left
them and Evans reported the affair to
Deputy Frank Hoffman. Evans told of
the entire affair to Hoffman but said ■
he had given his word that he would
not divulge the name of the man who
had tipped him off to the cache. Hoff
man ascertained the name of the man
easily from other parties .however,
and whn he confronted Evans with the
name, Evans said, “yes, it was Howard
Sheehan.”
Hoffman stated to the Alaskan that
young Sheehan has been under sur
veillance by the officers since the day
of the robbery. It is stated that Shee
hand and others were seen in the Par
i sons hotel the night before the rob
bery and that on the night of the theft
; of the furs he had been noticed stand
ing on the alleyway back of the ho
; tel.
It was also stated that Sheehan and
