DIXON'S MOVEMENTS.
He Has Been Traced From His
House to the Ocean Beach.

There is no longer any doubt that John E.
Dixon went alone to the ocean beach where
his body was washed ashore one week ago
to-day. That he committed suicide the po-
lice are certain, and Detective Rogers, who
is investigating the circumstances of Dixon's
death, so discovered four persons yesterday
who gave important ties timony in reference
to the mystery.
Officer Bennett of the park police says he
saw Dixon walk down the road toward the
beach and pass the eastern end of the speed
track about O'Clock on Saturday afternoon.
Park Officer Smith also saw Dixon halfway
down the speed track on the main road
about the same time, and a few minutes
later ). ID. Cole the driver of a Sprlnkling-
cart, observed Dixon further down the road
and still walking in the direction of the
beach,.
William II. O'Connor of 1923 Suffer street
was at work on the ocean beach two and a
half miles below the life-saving station
about o'clock Ia the afternoon, when Dixon
approached and asked him what he was do
ing. After few minutes conversation
Dixon walked away in the direction of the
place where his body was found. These
statements cOTrOborata those of Others who
saw Dixon going alone in Caiifornia-Street
car toward the park.
Conductor McGlynn saw him later, and
thus his movements have been traced almost
from the time he left his house until he ar
rived al the ocean beach. This dispels all
suspicion of murder and confirms the theory
OF the police that Dixon committed suicide.

Special to THE MoRSISe CALL

TRUCKEE, Aug. San autopsy was per-
formed this afternoon by DR.. Samuel Nc
Curdy upon the body of Michael Lanahan.
DR.. William Curless and a dozeniother wit
nesseS were present. including the attorney
for MeDOugald. Lanahan died July 9Th,
one month ago. presumably from wounds
inflicted by Malcolm McDougald. At the
examination before Justice LiggeIt the
question arose as to whether Lanahan died
from delirium .tremens or from blood clot
on the brain, caused by rupture of the
meningeal artery. The Coroner's jury had
not opened the body. hence to-day'S au-
topsy was necessary to disclose the
cause Of death. The heart showed blood
eliot, the lungs were badly congested and
diseased, the liver was twice the ordinary
size ana the stomach exhibited hemorrhagic
patches. all proving death to have resulted
from acute alcoholism. The punctured
wound on the left side of the head pene-
tTated 10th tablets OF the skull. but there
was not tie slightest evidence of blood clot
McD0uga!d was committed on charge OF
manslaughtrr, bnt his friends feel confident
that lie wilibe released on habeas corpus,
rs there IS no evidence that death resulted
from wounds. DE- Curless treated Lanahan
during Tie last thirty hours of his life for
