street, near King street. Two men
and woman Immediately afterward
rushed out on the street. The men
Disappeared, while the woman took
refuge in Johnson's shirt store on
King street. She was arrested as a
witness and taken to the Deputy
Marshal's office in the Station.
Police captains H. Juen and
Schlemmer went to the house to
look for the men and investigate
the matter generally. A BULLETIN
reporter accompanied the officers.
The house is the next to the corner
of King street, in rear of Johnson's
store. 1t is small cottage of rooms !
to let occupied by Mrs. Munro. The |
first thing noticed by the officers !
was bullet hole through the glass
door of front bedroom on the King
street side. Turning round they |
discovered the indentation made by !
a bullet on the base of the lattice
screen on the veranda close to the
entrance. Another glance lit on the
bullet lying on small hat stand
underneath where the shot struck.
A mans hat was lying on the stand,
which was recognized by the officers
as that of Corners, man whom the
police have had under their eyes for
some weeks.
The officers raped for admission
at the doors on all sides of the cot
tage without receiving any response.
They peered under the house with
out seeing anything living. AS they
came back TO the front from the rear
they met Mrs. Munro standing on
the veranda with her hat on, having
Just returned from call on neigh
Dor. The good woman was shocked
when shown the bullet marks, and
said she had heard of trouble and
fastened home.
Mrs. Munro said that the couple
occupying the room where the
shooting took place had come to
her house the first of the month.
They had been doing their own
cooking. The woman habitually re-
ferred to the man as her dear hus-
band" The landiady said she had
different times tried to obtain some
personal account of them from the
woman, but the man always com
PEELED his partner to keep quiet on
that subject. Their rent had all
been paid except $3.50 now due.
The man known as Corners ar
rived here by the Australia on her
last previous trip. Next day he APP
, piled for work at the Aloha Gallery,

' He was given room i'll the gallery to

Corners introduced young woman
as his wife, whom he called Lily"
d, The couple appeared to be very
t happy, joking and saying sweet
, things to each other, regardless of
r the presence of other people.
| After while gossip began to
: throw suspicion on the relations of
t the couple toward each other. 1t
0 was whispered around that they
were clippers. Corners, as he called
himself, when the matter was breach
/, ed to him, airily replied, ''Let them
n talk; they'll find out what | am soon
# enough" The couples finances fall
