24 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdoy, August 2, 1967 CENTURY OF CRIME By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Violent death has always stalked the long frontier be- yond the fringe of Canadian civilization. In Canada's century there have been such cases as the Mad Trapper, who made headlines around the world; Almighty Voice, who battled the Mounties until they brought up cannon; and the murder of three Americans in the Gaspe wilds, which made legal history. DEATH IN THE SNOW The Mad Trapper of Rat River fought a silent and deadly fight against the RCMP and the Arctic in the winter of 1931-32. He was hunt- ed down at the end of 52 days, but no one ever found out who he was or what he was doing with $2,300 and some gold tooth fillings in his pockets up there in the eter- nal. snows. The trapper--he gave the name of Albert Johnson-- turned up at Fort McPherson, Death Has Stalked Frontier Beyond Edge Of Civilization , RCMP got interested when Loucheux Indians next winter complained he was tearing up their traps on the Rat River, inside the Arctic Circle about 1,300 miles. northwest of Ed- monton. Mounties who made a 48- hour dogsled run from Arctic Red River found him holed up in a fortress-like cabin dotted with slits for rifle - work. He didn't answer when they banged on the reinforced : door, and they headed north 70 miles to Aklavik to get a search warrant. When Constable A. W. King came to the door again with the war- rant, his only reply was a bullet in the chest. His com- panions sledded him back to Aklavik in 40-below cold--his life was saved--and another party came back and staged a fruitless eight-day siege with guns and dynamite. When the party got back, Johnson had taken off. A 12- day hunt brought the RCMP up to him and a daylong bat- tle ended. with Constable Edgar Millen shot to death.

The cagey trapper countered by min- gling his snowshoe prints with those of caribou herds. Event- ually the trackers caught up with him--on the Eagle River deep in the Yukon after he had crossed a range of moun- tains which Indians had said no man could traverse alone. Brought to bay Feb. 17, 1932, the trapper wounded one more hunter before falling fa- tally shot. Long investigation after his death failed to es- tablish who he was or where he came from, though the suspicion was that he was the killer of a gold miner whose jing. Three-year-olds and up.

He broke out of jail and killed Next year he was spotted in the Minnichinas Hills where he wounded two more officers and a police scout. As police closed in, he killed two more of them and the postmaster of Duck Lake, a member of the posse. Finally two more squads of police arrived at his. strong- point with seven- -pounder and nine-pounder cannon. Almigh- ty Voice was killed by a can- non shot, and so were two In- dians who had taken up with him. THE COFFIN CASE In the summer of 1953 the Gaspe wilderness of Quebec gave up the bodies of three hunters from Hollidaysburg, Pa., partly eaten by bears. It was the start of a case that stretched for 11 years amid re-echoing doubts over wheth- er a hanged man got a proper trial. It produced an unprece- dented federal cabinet inter- vention and a Quebec govern- ment royal commission years after the event. A considerable amount of reverberation took place long after Wilbert Coffin, a 44- year-old prospector, had gone fo the gallows, After exami- nation showed that at least one of the mangled hunters had been shot, he was convict- ed in 1954 of killing Richard Lindsey, 17, youngest of the trio. The murder gun never was found, Coffin admitted steal- ing from the hunters but said two other Americans were with them the last time he saw them. The English-speak- ing prisoner also complained of not getting a fair. trial from a jury that was half French-speaking. When his case reached the Supreme Court of Canada, a single judge denied him leave to appeal. Chief Justice Pat- rick Kerwin took the unprece- dented action of advising the cabinet some other judges would have granted it. The cabinet asked the court to say what it would have done with an appeal. Finally, the court said in a 5-to-2 opinion in 1956 it would have turned it down, Coffin was hanged in Febru- ary, 1956, after seven stays of execution. During one of these, he used a "gun" made out of soap and shoe polish to crash out of Quebec City's ancient jail. But he headed back vol- untarily before getting out of town.

Approval of the projects was given in an' order-in-council re- lleased Tuesday. An ARDA official said the dams, at Deerock and Stoco lakes near Tweed have yet to rec eive final approval. Four Schemes only robbed the victims and someone else killed them. In 1963 Hebert published another book called J'Accuse les As- sassins de Coffin (I Accuse Coffin's Assassins. Next year the Quebec gov- erment set up a royal com- mission to investigate the whole trial and execution. Its 719-page report said the evi- dence it took in 70 days "tends to confirm and not contradict" the guilty verdict.
