A MORE SERIOUS charge.
John MoOrhead Arrested at CranstOn
for ManSlaushter.
CORONER LINCOLN'S INQUIRY
Results In Bis Swearing Out a Warrant
The Prisoner IL y Brother-in-Law OF
the Dead Man. and the Trouble Grew
Out Of n Game of Pool.

John Moorhead has q far more serious
charge against bin than aggravated as
sault on Thomas Mullen. lie is now
charged with manslaughter.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner +. III.
Lincoln went out to the Cranston Jail
and heard what John and his brother
Michael had to say. =.
Mr.. Lincoln refused tomahe public the
statements made by the Moorheads. It
was part OF their defense, he said. and
so he did not feel at liberty to give their
testimony.
This morning, when seen by a News
reporter, Mr.. Lincoln said that he would
probably issue a warrant for the arrest
Of Mullen OIL charge Of manslaughter.
This afternoon the warrant was ready
for Judge Cooks signature. and was
served later.
Tomorrow morning John and Michael
will be brought In from Cranston and
tried In the district court f)r aggravated
assault.
The report OF the coroner has not yet
been filed. but from the testimony made
pupilC ~ Woulu appear luaI MI. LIN
coins decision Is that Mullen was killed
by an unlawful act, and not by misfor-
tune.
The testi nony. which the News ex.
clusively printed. seems to point to the
fact that Mullen died as the result OF
Injuries received In the fight with John
Moorhead.
Johu and Michael, it will be re-
membered, entered The Suug," Null
lens saloon, and May IL, aud played a
game of pool. Mullen asked for ten cents
for the game and Michael paid him.
Then words passed aud John Moorhead
and Mullen clinched in the next room,
the cardroom, Mu len was thrown and
was severely injured. During the even
ing he died.
The story Is told, though it did not APP
pear In the testimony, that John and
Michael were quarreling and Mullen at
tempted to act as a peacemaker, and
that he suffered in consequences.
