man l saw when I went down stairs was
Fritz; told him he better go upstairs and
look after the boy; Fritz said. "Come on,
let's go up;;" 'All right" I said, and l
went up; when we got in the
room Fritz said, ''My God! Hosli is
dead" l did not hear any shot during the
night and slept very sound: yes, Lukinger
was able to sit up when we went up; he
was in the gangway, trying to get down
stairs; no, am not sure what Fritz did
with the candle; guess. he put it down be-
side his bed; no, l did not see when they
pulled him out from under the bed; he
was in the same position when 1 got up as
he was at 8 o'clock; yes, Fred Baker was
in during the day and had some words with
Fritz; after Baker went out Fritz loaded a
big revolver, but don't know who he in
tended to shoot; good God, no! did not
shoot him any more than you did; we were
the best of friends, and would not kill
him; when 1 went up to 90 to bed the door
was open; shut it when went in the
room; when 1 went to bed I don't know
whether Hosli and Joe were in bed or not;
no, it amt a common thing to see one man
with his head battered up, and another
man sitting on the floor all night, but still
don't think much about it, as thought
both were drunk; no, don't think Fritz
pnlled HOsli out and put him up against
the chair; don't see how he could do that
without me hearing him.
Andrew Wood, who boards at the Farm
ers' Home and occupies the room adjoining
the room in which Hosli was murdered,
was the next and last witness sworn. He
said: I ate supper about o'clock ana went
to bed soon afterward; did not see Hosli
or Fritz after supper; Fritz disappeared
about 6 o'clock; neither of them were about
when l went to bed; sleep very sound
from the time / 60 to sleep till about
in the morning; after that never sleep; if
revolver had been fired in their room I
would probably have heard it.
The post mortem, if held at all. will take
place this morning. The county commits
sioners decided some time ago to
allow only Sc for post mortems,
for which the physicians have firmly re-
fused to render their services. Dr.. Clark
will probably call one before noon if the
commissioners will pay fair compensation.
The funeral will probably take place to-
morrow and will be largely attended. The
tragedy is the theme of conversation and
the interest manifested in the inquest is
great, as demonstrated by the crowds yes

and Heffner are the men. At a late hour
last night Loeckinger. the young man who
received such a terrible pounding and in
whose head bullet was found, after laying
in the lookup over twenty-four hours
charged with murder, was no better. He
still sleeps well, but complains of pain in
his head.
LATE RUMOR.
About 1870 the GLOBE correspondent
found that some of Luckingers friends had
visited him at the hospital and that he had
given away Louis Heffner and Booking,
stating that one of them had shot Hosli and
then shot him, and after that he knew
nothing. At midnight the GLOBE reporter
visited the hospital and learned
that Luckinger had not made any
such statement to any one.
This was told the GLOBE correspondent by
the steward. The chief of police also went
to the hospital and had long talk with
Luckinger, who stated that he had not told
his friends what they said. 1t is still be-
lieved by many that Luckinger knows more
about the matter than he has told.
