KALrspxL1, Oct. 26.-The killing Of Jack
White has developed into great ssnss-
tion. owing 10 the finding Of tho coroner's
Jury and the aTrest Of J. 7. GensmAn.
slayer Of White. The eoronsr's Jury COM
msncod an investigation Tuesday. Tho
only evidence tending to establish tho
identity Of the dead man lying In the
moreue here was Gensman's, the man who
killed him. Tho jury took recess until
yesterday In o,dsr to got Witnesses. This
doubt gave rise TO all sorts Of rumors and
oonjeoturss. The public was not inclined
to believe Gsnsman's story. The oowsrdly
manner in which he ontSApred and killed
the train robbsr created . prejudice against
him, and IL was feared Q serious blunder
had been made. Witnesses were brought
here from Blaskfoos who positively idsnti-
fed the dead body a. that of White. who
was with them before the fight Al Midvale.
One witness. cook In a restaurant al

corroboratss Gspsman's story. The ooro-
ner's jury returned . verdict tonight TO
the effect that White was killed by j. P.
Gensman with fslonious intent. Com
plant was fled in the justice court oharg-
ing Gsnsman with murder in the first de-
gree and the preliminary was set for Mon
day, in order that Witnesses may be gotten

Instead of winning lauxels as q hero
Gsnsnan laneuishes In Jail. While the
public rejoice over the fact that desperate
character has been run down and given his
just deserts, they feel that it Is bad preoe.
dent to establish to allow private citizens
to shoot down men guilty OF crimes. Gsns-
man had ample time to rerort the whore
abouts Of White to the proper officers. who
could have taken him alive, as White had
no cartridges. It Was an empty revolver
he attempted TO draw on Gensman. The
slaysr's greed to get the $500 rsward has lost
him much svmpathy he would otherwise
