Secure Him His Liberty.
THE INQUEST ADJOURNED ONCE MORE

The lines of evidence are drawing 50 close

of being the murderer of John Gunsaulis.
that he has sent for Major Montooth to de-
fend him, and will have a conference with
that attorney, at the Jail, this morning. The
case was again taken up before the Coroner
yesterday, and new evidence developed
which caused the inquest to be continued
until Saturday, while the new ''leads" are
being worked. Anderson's statement that
he spent the hours between 8 and 10 o'clock
at his sisters house in West Liberty has ap-
parently been proven false.
John 81. Schake, of West Liberty bor-
ougb, was the first witness yesterday. He
said that on Thursday. April 9, be found
an empty purse on the road "a feet from the
place where Gunsaulis' body was found. The
witness swore that on the Sunday when the
crime was com mmitted he was on Mt. Washing
ton visiting relatives. He knew Holmes ARder-
son, the man under arrest, as suspect. and said
that about two or three months ago Anderson
and he were together. Anderson fell over an
embankment and got up very angry and tred a
revolver. and said to witness that lit would not
be good for any one to bother me-"
John Reichter Thirty-third saloon keeper,
said Anderson told him on Monday morning
that a murder had been committed In West
Liberty Sunday night.
Wilbert Patterson, of West Liberty, was at
the house of George Anderson on the Sunday
night Of the murder. Patterson is a brother-in-
law Of the prisoner. About o'clock Albert
Moore came there. and said man was hanging
about Granny McFarland's house. He Dor.
rowed a lantern and a revolver, and started
back. He was not at Anderson's when Moore
returned. Holmes Anderson was not at the
house.
r. B. Gunsalis then took the stand and
identified the pocketbook found near the falls
as the one belonging to his brother.
George Allen. recalled, described how the
body was found.
Albert. Moore said he lived in Homestead
and substantiated the story about borrowing
the revolver. He had not seen Holmes Ander-
son and did not see him at George Anderson's
when he returned the revolver, shortly before
10 o'clock.
George Flanders had seen Anderson about
s O'Clock, going toward the falls. He was in
the vicinity of the falls until O'Clock. and
while passing the place he heard some one
moving in the underbrush. Maggie Smith also
testified to having seen Anderson near the
falls
Tho prisoner was then asked to make . state
ment, but his only answer was that he was in
nocent The inquest was then continued until
