SHEQUIN Sister of Alaska Mining Man Appeals for Re- opening of Cast TRACES MONEY FROM VANCOUVER TO RENO Declares Brother Feared Breach of Promise Suit —Did Not Gamble SEATTLE, I’)e(fi 16.—Mrs. Carrie Shequin McArdle of Langley, Wash., whose broth- er, Sam Shequin, Alaska min- ing man found dead last April in Vancouver, B. C, under circumstances w hich officers said indicated he was robbed and murdered, has written to Gov. John W. Troy, of Alaska asking him to re- open the case through diplo- matic channels. . Mrs. McArdle said her brother accumulated $22,000 in cash and withdrew his money from the Seattle banks in August, 1930, when he red a girl was going to sue him for breach of promise. Shortly before he disappeared he spread the’ report that he had lost his money at the races, but his sister said she knew he was. not a gembling man and said she had been able to trace $6,000 of his money to Reno but no farther. She is convinced, she said, that her brother said he had lost the money so as to ward off persons trying to borrow from him. Shequin spent the latter part of 1932 in Ketchikan and when he left there he used the name of Sam Delaney, the same name he used to register in the Vancouver hotel which he left December 3, 1932. The body was found the fol= lowing spring. His sister said he had been poisoned and his wrists slashed to make it appear he had committed suicide. o —— TAX DODGERS MUST BEWARE WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Act- ing Secretary of Treasury Mor- genthau will take to Congress rec- ommendations for tightening the revenue laws against wealthy tax dodgers.
