 The Death of Aaron Wilcox. Confirmation of the CorOner's 1nvestfga. tion-The Case Still Shrouded fin Mys- tery-An Adjournment Taken Until Thursday, July q.
 The investigation concerning the death of Aaron Wilcox, who was found in the rear of a saloon on Grown street and subsequently died at the hospital, was continued yesterday afternoon in the City Court room. Coroner Bollman and the jury were in their places at o'clock, when the investigation proceeded. There were number of witnesses and few spectators present.
 Officer Jackson was recalled to the witness stand by Coroner Bollman to give some fur ther details of the position in which Wilcox was found lying when arrested. Neither in the street nor in the general police office did Wilcox cry out very loud, but when in the lookup he 'hollered" and yelled loudly. On the street he groaned and moaned "as if he was in terrible agony"
 Policeman Phelps was recalled, and said that when he first found deceased he was lying on his right side and right breast " u40 UACO4 Wdo 541LA1& uP AAC GOOA AOAN OA his arm, and the mans coat was torn. The man hallooed all the way up Court street and he cautioned him to keep quiet. Wilcox wanted to sit down, and said he was sick and wanted air. He said to the officers: 'sYou hard-hearted men, why can't yo6 let me sit down ?" He might have been heard two blocks away. He hallooed by spells. He hallooed in the yard where witness found him, but not till they had got him up. Wit ness said, in answer to a question as to why he put nippers on a prostrate man, that they oftentimes found 8 man would walk easier with nippers on than without.
 Dr. Bartlett told the jury that Sunday morning large man (answering to Wilcox's description) complained to him of great pain in his office. He was grooming all the time with pain, and the doctor gave him morphine. He said he had come from the police station that he had not been drinking much. Placing his hand over his liver, he said: GA man struck me there" Dr. Bartlett told him he had better get to the hospital as soon as pos sible, as it was evident that something else than drink ailed him. He left Dr. Bartlett's office alone. This witness said fall might have caused an internal rupture. The mans pain would be likely to increase after the in jury. A fall would not be likely to cause such rupture.
 Alonzo Bishop was recalled to say that he first saw Wilcox and his companion on the steps near Bronson's. It was about 12 o'clock. The clock struck just then. A few minutes later they were not there. As he passed he heard some one say, "Aaron, get up." He saw them get up and come along, and they went in Grown street, but he couldn't say whether they went as far as Twitchelrs. He thought both were drunk. He didn't see Wilcox fall after crossing Church street. The last time he saw them they were past the Hoadley building. The man could not have fallen without his seeing it at the corner. If he had fallen after he passed Grown street he could not have fallen without witness see ing it.
 James Barnes was called and said he reach. ed home shortly after 12 o'clock last Sunday morning. He didn't recollect meeting any | one after leaving Wilcox. He thought that g | blacksmith could substantiate his story about | the time witness reached home. The black ! smith is fellow boarder. Witness was sure | that he didn't go into Twitchell's that night and didn't know that Wilcox did. He didn't know how much money Wilcox had that | night, but saw him have money Witness | was with Wilcox all the evening with the ex ception of about minute.
 Doorman William Luby testified to the fac of Wilcox being brought to the station house | on Sunday morning. He said Wilcox wal moaning and said that he got hurt, and tha l one of the men stamped on him with hil knees. He had 8 little change, perhaps sixt, or seventy cents, and an old pocketbook Lieutenant Sheridan had charge of the offic, l when Wilcox came in. Wilcox said to one O | the officers, ''You are the one that stamped on me-" The officer didn't know which on he meant Witness didn't know who helt l him when he was searched. He was pretty drunk, and could not stand up very well b, himself. He said nothing except when speak ing of the stamping he mentioned. Witnes saw Wilcox half an hour after he was put in side. Wilcox moaned very hard and heavy atd that caused the witness to go in and SCI him. Luby asked what the matter was ant Wilcox said that one of the men jumped o1 him. Luby said mo, and Wilcox said "Oh yes, he did" Witness got him some liquor After o'clock Luby saw him sitting down partly dozing, and seeming to feel easier He said he felt a little better. Afterward h began to groan again and moaned very hard He asked, 'tFor the sake of humanity won you get me something to cure those cramps? :? He had more whiskey and that eased hin again. Wilcox asked for pistol afterward Witness offered him the key of the lock-u] and he said he didn't want that he wanted pistol to make away with himself. He di not yell that night, but made very lout l meaning. Between five and six o'clock wit ness saw him again and asked him how b felt. He said he didn't feel much better The witness didn't see him again. It wa only at the first interview that he said tha he had been stamped on Witness toll Lieutenant Sheridan what Wilcox said abou being stamped on by a policeman. Office Ben Jackson went in to see Wilcox before h went of duty. He went to where Wilco was. He asked to be let in and said, ''Hol on, let me see that man." Jackson ha brought in no other man that night.
 Lieutenant Sheridan testified that whel Wilcox was brought in intoxicated he mad complaint about the treatment he had iron the men who arrested him. He spoke t. Officer Jackson and said, 'sYou are the on that stamped on me" After he was insid he moaned and the witness sent Officer Lub in. Witness told about Luby taking in Ii quor. Continuing he said: About 2:3O
 went into the lookup and he came toward me and commenced to tell how the office knelt on his abdomen. I said to him gues not. spoke to Officer Phelps about it an hs as sgu ed me there was no truth in it.
 thought, as l have often heard person brought in charge officers with abuse, tha there was no truth in the charge When saw him (Wi1cox) first, he seemed to hay the abuse of the officer on his mind. Whe I let him out at half-past six h wanted me to look at hls abdomen which I did, but did not see any bruises
 gave him more whiskey at this time, as h complained of severe pain in his bowels S far as my memory serves me, the officers wh brought in Wilcox did not say anything abou him.
 I In reply to Foreman Peck, Lieutenan Sheridan said he did not think that Wilco was sick enough to have physician when was brought in if he had thought so h would have sent for one.
 Chief Webster was called. He said he cam to the office about ten minutes before i the morning. inquired of Doorman Hem ingway who it was grooming inside, and h said 1t was Aaron Wilcox. was told tha he had cramps. ordered him brought out and although appearing badly, at his own re quest allowed him to go out and take tn air. I soon after learned that man was sic at the corner of Church and Chapel streets I sent two officers and they brought bac
 Wilcox, and as soon as could get team an make arrangements I sent him to the hospi tai. I did not hear him say anything abou the abuse of officers.
