importance. which il is impossible to
diyulge at present Since the return of the
officers and other parties from the vicinity
OF the homicide, public opinion is stronger
that the facts as surmised bV the Asso-
clated Press reporter are correct. The YER
dict of the COroner's jury has not vet been
made public, and the reticeuce of the
officials regarding ii seems to indicate
that there is much which has not
yet been published which will be deyeloped
III proper time. The inquest showed that
Dr. Powers had been shot while on his
horse. He was unarmed. The first wound
was made by heavy charge of buclshot
which entered his right side. and death
must have been almost immediate. Eyi-
IDENTIFY he then fell from his horse, break
ing his nose and otherwise bruising his
face. To make sure of their work, the as
sasslns then shot him twice more. once
with buckshOT and once with Il pistol ball.
lie was then hanged, every evidence going
to show that this did not occur until after
his death. Around the spot there were no
signs that more than from four 10 SIX per

The rope used in the hanging was SO short
that but very few persons could have DOS

rope had been attached, evidently as an
after thought. in order to convey the i'm
preston that a large number of people
were concerned in the killing. Everything
obtainable, however, tends to tiisproye this
assumption. There is no abatement in the
public feeling, and no question OF the
popular opinion being that a very
few persons accomplished this assassina-
ton, and endeayored TO make the
circumstances tend to show that it was the
result of a popular feeling, aud the work of
mob of yigilantes, acting with the full
Endorsement of 4 majority OF the citizens.
The people of Bear valley and San Benito
creek emphatically deny any such pre-
sumption, and deplOre and denounca the
act IN unme2sured terms. A thorough
investigation has been determined on. and
will be had. Interesting developments are
looked for in the next few days.
