great trouble. Just at that instant there was
d heavy peal Cf thunder. He jumped IN.
and excite lY exclaimed See There comes
the Sheriff lie w2s very much frightened
and spoke IN such broken English that he
was not easily understood. From what he
said, however, I asoer5ained that he and his

with the murder OF q woman in Sacramento
county. When he was frightened by the
thunder he pointed 20 some pOsts standing

There was considerable blood ia the palm of

dropped from the hand. The floor of the

was quite lengthy. At the request OF the
Court the witness related what Troai said
about the homicide when he first met him,
the day succeeding the murder. The state
meut dsviates in no particular from the
statement Of Proai, published sometime since.
Most Of the jury stood mp during the time
the inquest was being held. One thing that
msds me suspicion that Raffety knew some
thing about the whereabouts OF Lentini was
that he showed no disposition to assist in the
capture Of the fugitive.
