FORD'S THEATRE DISASTER.
The Coroner Continues His In
quiry Into the Horror.
CLERKS WANT BURROUGHS.
A Bitter Feeling Toward Chief Clerk
Freech.
Colonel Ainsworth Applies to the District
Supreme Court Tor NIandamus to
Compel the Coroner to Permit
Him to Be Represented.

WASHINGTON, June BY direction
of the commissioners for the District of
Columbia, the inquest over the victims of
the theatre disaster was continued
publicly in Willard Hail. The clerks and
Others crowded nearly every part of the
hall. TO prevent repetition of the
trouble of yesterday, a squad of police
attended. Neither Colonel Ainsworth
nor his attorney appeared.
Ernest Baier, record and pension divis-
ion clerk, told of his fear that the building
would fall during the excavation. He
gave the first testimony concerning the
existence of the alleged petition to Colonel
Ainsworth, asking that the clerks be fur
Laughed during the progress of the work
in the basement. He said he understood
such petition was drafted, but the clerks
refused to sign it becaused they feared
the consequences.
Clerk Edwards went into the cellar
while the excavation was going on and
saw no underpinning.
Testimony that clerks were directed to
walk carefully on the stair way was given
by Harry Brandon.
Frank Randolph said the feeling to-
wards the heads of the bureau was not
cordial, and especially toward Chief
Clerk Jacob Freech, who treated the men
as dogs and not as men.
In the district supreme court petition
was filed by Colonel Ainsworth giving in
detail statement OF the condition of the
building and his participation in the
work. He repeats at great length the
former statements made by him as to his
knowledge of the condition of the build
ing. etc. He repeats his experience at
the inquest yesterday and asks that the
deputy coroner be commanded to permit
him to be present with counsel and adopt
such measures as are necessary to pro-
tect his life which has been threatened.
District Attorney Burney filed a demur-
rer, claiming that Ainsworth's petition
did not set forth any matter that entitled
him to mandamus. Colonel Ainsworth
mad not been accused, said Burney, save
by the newspapers. There had been no
charge, or warrant, or arrest. The court
TOOK the matter under advisement until

The Second of the Train Robbers
Now in Jail.
HE, TOO, WAS WOUNDED.
His Partner, SOntag, Can Live Only a
Day or Two.
The Meeting Between Evans and His Wife
in the visaIia Prison-The Reign
of Terror in TuIare County,
California, Is Ended.

NIsALIA, Cal, juno 13.-On informa-
ton posse went last night to cabin
twenty miles from here where they found
Chris Evans, the noted train robber VINO
escaped in the fight in which his partner,
Sontag, was so badly wounded that he
could not get away. Evans was severely
wounded in three places, but will re-
cover. The officers brought him here
and he and Sontag are now in jail
The early hour at which Evans was
brought to town this morning found most
OF the people in bed. There was not the
excitement which prevailed when Sontag
was brought in though it required the
services OF four officers to keep those who
had assembled from blocking the way to
the door of the Jail. Evans was helped
out OF the wagon by two men and assisted
to the Jail entrance. Among the fifty
men present there were one or two who
stepped up to the wagon and said ''Hello
Chris" He nodded his head to the two
men but did not speak only when one OF
the men handling him touched his Grip
pied arm. The Jail door closed on the
bandit and the crowd quietly dispersed.
Mrs. Evans called at the Jail q half hour
after her husband arrived, but the sheriff
prevailed on her to postpone the visit
a4G44 y ClOChs az ILdb LOuI SIG was
promptly on hand, and on entering the
room where her husband was, Evans
said, 'How are you, Mollie?'' She be-
gan to cry, while her husband turned on
his side little and closed his eyes. For
fifteen minutes not word was spoken.
Then each having obtained control of
themselves, Evans inquired as to the
health OF the children. and then drifted
off into an account OF the fight in which
he was wounded. Their conversation
was calm and cool, though their faces
showed that they realized the situation.
AT O'Clock Evans and Sontag were
sleeping soundly under the influence of
opiates. They are in the same room up
stairs and Mrs. Evans is staying with
them. There is a feeling of relief among
the citizens and the usual expression all
day has been, ''Weu the agony is over. -
Only few struggling men have been GO
ing toward the Jail since O'Clock, while
yesterday there was a continual stream
all day. Sontag cannot live more than q
daV or two.

INDIAN oyERsEER IN DANGER.
DIR. Walker Is Held a Prisoner at Leach
Lake Reservation.

Lake Reservation.
ST. PAUL, June 13.-General Merritt
received information that DR.. r. j.
Walker, physician and overseer at Leach
Lake reservation, accidentally shot an
Indian and is held prisoner by the
Indians and in danger of his life. A COM
pany of United States troops has been
ordered in readiness to proceed to the
reservation as quickly as possible. The
situation looks serious as the Indians
were recently paid off and are doubtless
drinking.
Nothing further is known at late hour
tonight regarding DR.. Walkers position
at Leech Lake. A telegram from the
hotel keeper at Ark Rapids was received
this morning stating that no news
could be had from the agency as the In
dams have double pickets. Upon the re-
quest of United States Marshal Daune-
hover for troops, General Merritt de-
tailed Company D of the Third infantry,
commanded by First Lieutenant Mccoy
and Second Lieutenant Moore, to take
the field. They left tonight for Brainard,
from where they wilr have to march
twenty-five miles between there and the
agency.
The Indians concerned in the uprising
are the Leech Lake Chippewas, very
friendly and heretofore peaceable tribe.
Colonel Barber stated that he hardly e1-
pected the matter to end fatally for the
doctor before troops arrived, though it
was hard to tell what the Indians might
do when enraged.

NEW YORK, June ia six-story
building on Montgomery street, filled
with sweater shops, caught fire at $50
this morning and in the wild rush to the
street OF the 250 people working
there, four persons, two men and
two women, were killed and sew
eral injured. The inmates, men, women
and children were of ali ages and all
Polish Hebrews.
The fire is supposed to have started
from stove for heating ire as in an apart
ment near the stairway; soon all exit was
cut off that way and the rear fire escapes
were rendered useless by the fact that the
iron shutters were spiked fast in all the
windows leading to them. All rushed to
the fire escapes in front and fought there
like demons.
The whole front of the building was
alive with people, all fighting for good
places on the fire escap pes, thereby hinder
ing each other. Ladders from the second
story to the pavement were not yet in
place and several jumped from that point.
The first was q woman, who fell on an
iron railing in front of the building and
she was killed; next came two men, who
fell on their heads and had their skulls
crushed Others who landed on their
feet, suffered little injury. The fire de-
partment finally got ladders alongside
and assisted the remainder to escape.
Some were driven stark mad by fright.
In the meantime the building was on
fire on every floor and it took half an
hour to suhdue the flames.

Sent to the Poor Farm.

HELENA. Mon, June 13.-[Special. i
Key Rossman, the young Dane vino
caused an explosion in the Montana
National bank and afterwards gave him
self up, was tried for insanity in the dis
trict court today. His statement was the
only testimony. He said the explosion
was caused neither by desire of revenge
nor an idea of burglary, but only because
he was desperate and wanted to get in
prison. He declared he had s'wheels in
his head' at times, as his father had
also.
The jury didn't think him crazy enough
to send to the asylum and declared him
sane. AS the county attorney couldn' t
find any law to prosecute Rossman, and
it was deemed unwise to turn him loose,
the Judge sent him to the county poor
farm to see how what is looked on as in
cipient madness turns out.
The testimony of today closed with an
examination by the surgical expert, DR..
