PAIR SUSPECTED OF
SLAYING ABERDEEN
POLICEMAN, HELD
Aberdeen,, Wash., Dec. 11. Adam
Strhoff and Andrew Kargln, former!
proprietors of a pool hall In Aber
deen, are under- arrest In BeIling-
ham charged with heading an ex
tensive liquor smuggling ring, said
to have operated In many cities of
the Northwest, and suspected ;, of
complicity In the murder of Nicolas
Koleski, Aberdeen plain clothes po
liceman, whose body was found Sep
tember 27 Jn the woods three miles
south of South Aberdeen.
Koleski had been active in the prose
cution of liquor cases and had testified
against Strhoff and Kargln In a police
court trial. Evidence which the authori
ties have obtained recently against Bir
hoff end Kargln and which has resulted
in the present liquor smuggling prosecu
tion In Belllngham, was gained In part
by - Aberdeen police and In part by a
detective agency of Seattle, engaged
three weeks ago by the city council to
Investigate the Koleski murder case.
Tht council under this agreement
pays the agency $2000 and $t per day
for the time of each operative. With the
two Aberdeen men, the police hold
five Russians from other cities and five
Austrian, all of whom are charged With
complicity in varying degree in what
the police believe to have been' one of
the largest whiskey rings ever operated
in the state. From some of these men
arid from outside witnesses the agency
detectives and the police have obtained
testimony which they believe impli
cates Sirhoff and Kargin in the Koleski
murder. . '. , '
. That the two. men declared they
would "get Koleski" after the latter had
testified against them is said to be the
substance of affidavits in the possession
of the Whatcom county sheriff, the de
tective operatives and Aberdeen police.

whose administration she had two years
of experience aa a deputy, having charge
of the tax collecting department. She
is known aa a thorough business woman.
Prior to her marriage she was a school
teacher. : She was sworn in by County
Clerk R. H. Howell.
morning of the day ho was murdered.
Several here knew he was trying to sell
the car and planned to give a demon
stration for Howard that day. It was
Sweeney's habit to drive into the in
terior for days at a time to call on
customers, and little was thought of his
absence. When several weeks passed
and Sweeney did not return, friends
became worried, as e had never gone
away for jiy long period of time before
without making some arrangements to
have his clothes, which came C O. D.
aa fast as his orders were filled, taken
care of. . ; ':- :
As days passed, packages kept coming
and had to be sent back when they were
not called for. . The - authorities were
asked to look into the case, and Sheriff
H. Lee Noe began -quietly making in
vestigations about two weeks ago, with
the result of the arrest of young Howard
this week.; Sheriff Noe found traces- of
Howard in Idaho, and Wednesday morn
ing left hurriedly for Cascade arresting
Howard jn Long Valley, above that
place.-,; ,
SLATER IS EX-SAILOR
.Wednesday night the sheriff tele-,
phoned his office In Vale for Deputy
Charles Glenn to meet him and help
him get quietly across the river. The
utmost secrecy has been maintained by
officials, because of well grounded
fear-that violence might be attempted
upon Howard,, due . to the high esteem
in which Sweeney was held in this city.
Although . Howard emphatically eald
in .his confession that he took nothing
except a watch, from the body, Sheriff
Noe is still in Idaho trying to locate any
of Sweeney's possessions ' that might
have been disposed or by Howard. It
is . known the salesman wore a diamond
ring and a diamond pirn Howard asserts
he threw - both trinkets into the river
with the body. ' v ,
Howard, nearly 24 years of age. is a son
of 'John- H. Howard, rancher of Watson.'
and waa raised at Jordan Valley, where

he attended school. , He served almost
two years in . the transport, service of
his - discharge in , September last year.
Since then ike has been -working around
at odd Jobs Jn the county.
FIRST STORY FALSE
The confession is . contained in a
lengthy satement of questions and tin-,
swers of 49 pages or typewritten manu
script, in the first part Howard claimed
he killed Sweeney at the bridge over the
hnake river, just out of Ontario, in self-
defense. He asserted Sweeney and he
quarreled over the condition of the car,
inai sweeney nad attacked him and he
struck to protect himself, hitting,gthe
murdered man in the neck and brelking
it, then throwing the body into the Snake
river. He also asserted he paid Sweenev
800 in-Liberty bonds for the car.
Later in the confession he acknowl
edged this part to be false, gave what he
swore vto be the real facts about the
murder and admitted he killed Sweeney
ior no otner purpose than to get pos
session of . the old car. ; -: w
Jjepuiy snertris Charles Glenn. Frank
Glenn, Bert High, and "Harry Farmer
are at Watson, searching for the body.
They are expected back any time.
OLD MURDER RECALLED '.
i '""-P. C. Bricboux murdered R. C. Lum
Goodwin about midnight September 4,
1916, in his automobile somewhere ' be
tween" Vale: and Ontario. Covering the
body "with' a lap rob and hiding it in
the tonneau of his car, Bricboux carried
it through Ontario and, after fastening
arms and legs together with automobile
chains and tying an automobile hub to
the feet, cast it from the wagSn bridge
into the Snake river.. The .body was car
ried down : the' river , to the railroad
bridge and was discovered by a railroad
brakeman on Sunday.
The murderer then drove to Nevada-
where he attempted to collect a draft
at a Winnemuca bank on Goodwin, re
turned to Ontario the following week
with a carload of bootleg whiskey and
was arrested by Sheriff Brown. Indict
ment for murder In second degree was
at once made by the grand jury. Bri-4

and sentenced to life on October 30. He

No disturbances have occurred since
Howard's arrest became known in Vale
although feeling against Howard Is run
ning high. - It was found out thia morn
ing that George R. " Sweeney used the
name of Sweeney-Seeney when he first
came to Vale.' He signed his name that
way when he joined the Elks lodge.
Later he dropped the last part. -

the Jurymen. It played a prominent part
In his conviction. 4
. There were' people at the inquest Who
had difficulty in understanding just how
Miss Ferguson came to be in the path
of the death car. ,
VIEWS TJSrCERTAlK
Testimony indicated that the accident
occurred between the curb and the car
track, It indicated that another machine
passed the Axelsen car just before it
entered the intersection, and passed the
teacher an instant before she was struck
down. Witnesses insisted that Axelsen's
headlights were strong. The first Car
passed . the death machine on the op
posite side from the pedestrian. With
the headlights warning pedestrians of
the oncoming cars, with two machines
close together, and one passing her im
mediately In front of the Other, Just
how, questioned a few, did Miss Fer
guson get. in front of the second ma
chine?
UMBRELLA RAISED
Axelsen swore she : had an umbrella
up. Perhaps the lights dazsied her.
Maybe she failed to judge distance ac
curately and thought she could pass in
front safely.
The death car may have changed its
course, she might haveturned to watch
the first machine and failed to discern
the Axelsen automobile, or mayhap she
didn't see either car until the second had
struck her down. Anyway, testimony
from her side is lacking her voice is
stilled for ever. Another teacher must
take her place at Jefferson high.
