The Alaska Citizen May 8, 1911
It was 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning when the preliminary hearing of Ed 
Taylor, who is accused of stealing amalgam from the Chena mill was held, the 
train bearing Assistant District Attorney J.K. Brown and some of the witnesses 
having been delayed.  The hearing was held before Commissioner Fitzpatrick at 
Chena and at its conclusion the defendant was bound over to the grand jury, 
his bonds being fixed in the sum of $5,000.

The witnesses examined were Martin Harrals. Fred Baster, Chas. McDermott, 
Adolph Bruning and Allan Cunningham.  Deptuy Marshal McDermott testified to 
finding a strawberry can and a peach can under the floor of the mill, to the 
rear of No. 1 battery.  These are alleged to have been the defendant’s amalgam 
caches, and he admitted bringing the cans to the mill.  Both of the cans 
contained a small quantity of amalgam and a search of Taylor's cabin brought 
to light a bottle of mercury in which there was a small quantity of amalgam, 
and a tobacco box stained with mercury.  

In the cabin a frying pan was found which appeared to have been used for 
burning the quick out on the amalgam and a small piece of clag, containing 
mercury, was also found.
