From early testimony as given by Doctors A. G. Hamilton and R. W. Hale, it appeared that the two shots fired by Gwynn with Henderson's .88 callbre revolver were not re- sponsible for Henderson's death, but that he lost his life from a bullet coming from one of his own gang of desperadoes. Both doctors were of the opinion that Hendereon could not have spoken after he was hit. However, Fred Hale who was with Gwynn at the time f the hand-to-hand and to-the-death grappling between the county commissioner and the high. fackers' decoy, declared that Hen- derson before he died had mumbled something“similar to “I've got mino” or “Ive had plenty." began here at 10 o’clock this Arthur Gwynn was on the stand just before noon. In relating the struggle between himself and Hen- derson over the possession of the gun with which Henderson had first jJabbed him in the stomach and which he soon afterwards wrenched away from the bootlegger, Gwynn said that he was sure that one of the shots: ke fired went into Hender son’s breast. Report of autopsy had already shown that a bullet had gone through the dead man's left shoulder but none through the breast. Gwynn could not account for what looked like a misplaced shot on his part. It is expected that the coroner's jury will have submitted its verdict by 4 o’elock this afternoon.

A wireless message from the sup+ ply ship Gertrud Rask on August 5, reported her stuck fast in the polar dc miles from the heavy shore near Anmagsalik.
