"''-inn j. Franklin Lammers,
weauny Alaska mining- man," who
aa extenslrrly reported In the nrri
papsra last wsek aa killed In a mow
alUla, and that Thomas M. CartwrlRht,
01 com ova. wno cam out to see helm
to the MOO.000 eatate are one and the
same man la the sensational charge
made here today. The allegation
ahattera a fancy atory of death and
wealth told for purpoaea yet to be
ascertained.
Cartwrlght came to the newspapers
n or. n i ana i aroma and represented
himself as a Cordova merchant, a
rrlend or Lammers. told of Lammers
death and wealth and reported blmaelf
aa seeking heirs to the estate. He
asked that rjla atory be -ien wldeat
publicity. Through the newspapers
mrm. lammm waa round working at
the State Asylum at Btellacoom Incog
nito.
Bha had not heard of Lammers1
death and was much agitated when
she saw the stories told by the alleged
pauerio Cartwrlght. She at once made
ner Identity known and proved It. Ap
pointments were sought with Cart
"nini, ddi ne aodaed them and waa
next heard from In Cincinnati last
bumlay seeklna; heirs of Lammers'
estate. Inquiries have also come from
Buffalo.
Today photographs of Lammers
were positively Identified by Seattle
and Tacoma newspapermen and others
aa Cartwrlght and the further fact
was brought out by Mrs. Lammers that
her- husband when flurried Buffered
from a alight Impediment In speech
inn waa also noticeable In "Cart
wrlght."
An investigation by the Chief of
Tollcs of Cordova and by officials of
raining companies where the alleged
snowsllde took place, railed to reveal
any such persons aa Lammers or
Cartwrlght. No report of a snowsllde
at or near Kennecott was received at
Cordova and those who invest'gated
telegraphed Mrs. Lammers that had
there been such an occurrence they
would surely have known It. The mo
tive of La mmers-Cart wrlght Is a com
plete mystery.
