Mrs.
Carrie
Shequin
McArdle
of
Langley,

-whose
brother,
Sam
Shenuin,
Alaskan
mining
man,
was
found
dead
last
April
in
Vancouver,
B.C.
under
questionable
circumstances,
has
written
to
Governor
John
W.
Troy
of
Alaska
asking
him
to
reopen
the
case
through
diplomatic
channels.
"My
brother
had
accumulated
$20,000
in
cash
and
government
bonds
and
I
know
he
never
spent
it,"
Mrs.
McArdle
said,
"but
we
have
never
been
able
to
find
any
trace
of
it
since
his
death.
I
have
found,
however,
why
he
withdrew
the
money
from
his
bank
in
Seattle
in
August,
1930.
He
was
afraid
a
girl
was
going
to
bring
suit
against
him
for
breach
of
promise.
I
have
been
able
to
trace
$6000
of
the
money
to
Reno
but
no
farther.
Shortly
before
he
disappeared
he
spread.
the
story
that
he
had
lost
the
money
on
the
races
but
I
know
he
was
not
a
gambling
man."
