THE BOBBIN CASE
RESULT OF THE HEARING YES
TBRDAY AFTERNOON.
CONSTABLE TOOMEY STILL HELD
Coroner Guldin Says the Bullet
Passed Through Bobbin's Body
and Was the Cause of
Death.

As stated in the HERALD yesterday Cor
oner Guldin held an inquest on the body of
Mike Bobbin, the Hungarian who was shot
on the 9Th ult, and who died at the Miners
Hospital, at Fountain Syringe, on Wed
nesday. But The nature of the wound did
not develop in the post morten1 examination
as the HERALD foreshadowed yesterday.
It had been thrown out that death was in
all probability due to Inflammation of the
lungs, and not from the pistol shot wound.
The testimony of Coroner Guldin before
Squire Dengler was that the pistol ball
passed through the body and the wound
was the cause of death.
Bobbins' case had quite fallen from view
and tbe announcement of his death was
taken by many as that Of some poor, un-
fortunate miner who had been shot in a
breast.
Crowds gathered about Squire Dengler's
Office at three o'clock in the afternoon, the
time set for Toomey's hearing, and asked,
What's all the rumpus ~ whats the
Squire got now ~ and many other ques-
tons The people crowded the office and
hear What will become of Toomey 2"
and others waiting to hear or see what
they could, with no particula object IN
view and others trying TO get at the foun-
dation of the situation of the situation.
Squire Dengler's smile was in its usual
healthy growth. Lawyer Settlers cap
seemed unusually out of season, for the
sun was beaming brightly upon the police
blue pants Of the venerable ex-Chief
Roada. AS Policeman Phalen pulled out
bis chrouometer and noted the seconds past
three Jim" Kerns was struggling to get
subscription for Every Other Night"
"0dce Week" or something of that kind
out of Taiesin Phillips.
Story telling, fly chasing and general
killing time helped pass the holrs away
until Deputy District Attorney Shay
walked into the Office, followed by Coroner
Guldin. Then all became silence and
every body settled down to business. j. H.
Pomeroy, Esq, attorney for Constable
Toomey, followed the entrance OF the
Coroner.
The only testimony taken was of Cor
oner Guldin's, He stated, briefly, that he
had been notified of Bobbins' death by
Deputy District Attorney Shay and that
he went to the Miners Hospital to hold an
inquest. That the post mortem showed a
gun shot wound in the lett side of the back
and that the ball had gone entirely through
the body.
In answer to question as TO the health
of the deceased, the Coroner said that the
liver, lungs and kidneys seemed all right
with the exception of the wound and it,
effects. The Coroner also said that the
deceased was about % years of age, feet,
eight inches in height and about 100 pounds
in weight.
1t was understood by all concerned that
Squire Dengler could not accept bail in
the case and Toomey was turned over to
Constable Tosh's care without bail. Mr.
Pomeroy then asked Mr.. Shay when ii
would be agreeable to the District Attorney
to entertain ha5eas corpus proceedings and
| it was mutually agreed between Messrs.
Shay and Pomeroy that an application to
admit ToOmey TO bail should be made to
the court on Saturday morning.
