THE INQUEST.

Judge Stuart Holds an Inquest Over the Body
Of Buffalo Bill"
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock Judge
Stuart, who was present at the house in
which the shooting occurred and viewed
the body of VIM. Dornwell before it was
moved, held the inquest at his Office on
East Pecan street. Allwho were in any
way connected with the case were sum
moned and their testimony was taken I'M
der oath.
The testimony of Jess Wilson, who was
present and saw the trouble, was material
the same as published IN yesterdays
STNTEsMAN.
In the excitement and confusion that
surrounded the scene of the shooting an
other eye witness, Dora Elders by name,
was overlooked by the reporter and no
mention was made of her in yesterday s
paper. As will be seen by the statements
given below her version differs in some re
spects from those made by Wilson. These
slight discrepancies, however, are easily
accounted for, as at such time and place
no two persons will see things exactly alike,
| Following is her testimony in full as sworn
to by her before Judge Stuart:
81 was in the room at the Emigrant
hotel talking with Maggie Mule. Mr.. Je s
Wilson was also in the room. About 1896
O'Clock p. m. the deceased came into the
room and requested Maggie to go into an.
other room with him, and said he wanted
to talk 10 her. She refused to go, saying to
him: You said that you intended to beat
me and I will not go with you, have no
protection here He said: Il will tell you
what | have to tell you when we get into
the room, and | will never bother you
again after today She again refused To &C
into the room. He then asked: Then
you will not go?' Then he said to her
piled: Il hare it,. He said: You are a

about the matter than what l have stated
above"
DIR. Graves, the city physician, made his
report, and described the wound that re-
suited in Dornwelrs death,as follows:
The ball entered the head about two
inches above the right ear, penetrating the
soft tissue and passing into the brain, frac
turing the occipital bone in its passage.
The ball passed through both henispheres
of the brain, lodging on the opposite side OF
the head. The brain was protruding from
the wound No other wound was found on
the body, and this wound was the cause OF
death"
After hearing the above evidence Judge
Stuart rendered verdict in accordance
with the facts.
THE FUNERAL.
Yesterday afternoon all that remained OF
VIM. DoInwell wss buried in the city
cemetery. The services were conducted by
Rev. DIR. Bruck at the house of the de-
ceased's wife in a most impressive manner.
The pail bearers were members of the A.

to act as an escort TO the grave. In the
afternoon the Austiner Deutsche Sterile
Kasse gave Mrs. Dornwell 500 TO defray
the funeral expenses. This organization

citizens.
MAGGIE MULES CONDITION.
The wounded woman was somewhat i'm
proved yesterday, but was still very weak
from loss of blood and the terrible ordeal
she had passed through. Her attending
physician would not allow her to talk
much so Judge Stuart was not allowed to
take her statement. As soon as she is able
to give her testimony however, he will go
down and see what she has to say.
