Death With Dessert: A Tenakee Shooting

In 1906, bully and small-time crook Norman E. “Diamond” Smith was shot dead in the general store of Tenakee Springs, a Southeast Alaska fishing town that served as a sin-filled resort for Yukon gold miners. The shooter, miner and fisherman Robert Reed, pleaded self-defense, but the victim was unarmed. Could he beat the rap? This historic true crime program is at 3 p.m. April 19 at McPhetres Hall, Church of the Holy Trinity. The presentations benefit the church and its programs. Dessert provided by Treadwell Kitchen.
