Get- chell, who turned him over tothe Federal authorities. Today Commissioner Charles Sey ordered that a suspended nine months’ sentence against Wheat, dated October 10, 1932, and charg- ing him with being drunk and dis- turbing the peace, be put into effect and the prisoner is now in the Federal Jail starting to serve out |his sentence. Two Charges Remain He still has the alleged larceny Wheat, who has caused the au- thorities so much concern during the last two days, is only 23 years old. Yet the file of charges against him in the Marshal's office con- tains numerous charges of petty and serious violations of the law. He was sentenced to seven months in jail on August 15, 1930, for con- tributing to the delinquency of a minor; given 90 days for vagrancy in March, 1932, and the nine months’ suspended sentence which he is now beginning to serve, last October. When the youth appeared at the home of Chief Getchell this morn- ing he was accompanied by his wife. He claims that he escaped while here so that he could see her, and would have given himself up her until last night. He claims that he escaped from the Yukon through a port hole and down the stern hauser, hand over hand.
