At three o’clock on the morning following Thanksgiving, Mr. Ray is said to have gone into the office of Dr. J. A. Sutherland with a loaded shotgun. The Doctors office is located in a front room of his residence. Hearing the noise he arose from his bed and investigated. Ray asked him where the “secret Republican meeting” was being held and, according to the physician, on being told that there was none, said he knew there was and that he was going to kill them all, for they were trying to kill Wickersham. Ray then left, saying that he was going to search for Romeo Hoyt, whom he stated, would tell him. fie found Mr. Hoyt, who later said, that he got the gun away from Ray only by making the latter believe that he wanted to kill some of them first himself. Hoping that his derangement might prove only temporary, Ray was first put under guard in his quarters but at noon the next day, officials thought it best to remove him to the detention hospital. When searched, his pockets were found to be filled with loaded shotgun shells. When he left here for the asylum, he failed to recognize any of his friends and when numbers of them shook hands just before the train left he showed no sign of recognition. He had no enemies in the camp and was universally liked and respected. -11th – Cash Cole got back from Ketchikan, Wrangell & J:\hist_docs\wickersham\ASL-MS0107-5-33.doc Alaska State Library - Historical Collections, PO Box 110571, Juneau AK 99811-0571 Diary of James Wickersham.
