and Chino Alar;d were the other two
men who were, it was alleged by witness
es, believed to have been seen running
away from where Dominguez' body lay
Immediately following the shooting.

deemed the safest place for them on their
own account and because some suspicion
attached to them.
The coroner's inquiry into the death Of
Dominguez was resumed this morning.
Drs. Sloan and Martin were examined
as to the number and character of the
wounds on the body and their testimony
was in line with the statements already
published on this subject. Three bullets
undoubtedly inflicted the four wouds in
the chest and stomach.

given.
CoRRoBORATIvE TESTIMONY.
This afternoon Antonio Borrego was
taken from Jail into the jury room and he
corroborated Alarid's statements in all
essential details, confessing that Frank
Borrego had killed Dominguez after the
latter had opened the assault.
Frank Lachuga and Vicente AlGrld
were also examined this afternoon. They

was lear Kirchner's meat market. Frank,
Antonio and Jesus Borrego were there
and Frank, seeing Jose Ortiz y Baca
coming up the street, asked Policeman
Alarid to leave and give him, Borrego, G
chance to whip Baca, or words to that
effect. The policeman declined to leave
and told Borrego to behave himself. The
witness swears that they heard Borrego
say: swell, Pm going home to get sup

that the words were uttered in the nature
of threat.
