TWO WERE INJURED.
ACCIDENT TO AN ELEVATOR IN
THE WHITTIER BLOCK.
Two Laborsrs Had Narrow Escape
From Dssth-Ons Seriously Hurt.
Fault OF the Rope.

By an accident to an elevator in the
new Whittier block on South Los AM
geles street yesterday morning, Matt
McConkey and Howard Jordan received
serious in juries.
McConkey's left ankle and leg were
badly crushed, being broken in two or
three places. Jordan escaped more for
tunately and was only severely bruised
and cut.
The accident occurred about $3.50
O'clock. The men were engaged in
work on the fourth floor and started to
descend in the elevator. They stepped
In, when suddenly the wire rope broke.
The cage shot like lightning to the bass-
ment floor.
Fellow laborers rushed to the scene
and did everything possible to allay the
suffering Of the two men, who were ex-
tricated after some difficulty. McCon-
keys leg had caught between the oage
and the column, crushing it terribly.
The wounded men were at once con-
veyed to the receiving hospital where
Police Surgeon Bryant attended them.
He set the compound fracture OF Mo-
Conkey's leg and patched up young
Jordan in highly acceptable manner.
Jordan was afterwards removed to the
home of his sister. He will be sound
and we'll in few days, but his more un.
fortunate brother, who was taken to the
county hospital, will not be able to be
up for months.
No one in particular 10 to blame for
the accident. The wire rope had been
worn so badly that 1t was unsafe.

OF all the oddities to which the hui

When they shook hands with HER
AID reporter yesterday each put their
right hands together and then grasped
the newspaper mans, thus making q
three-hauded shake.
There is nothing repulsive or objec-
tionable about this phenomenal crea,
ture; on the contrary. it is decidedly at
tracuve; the movements OF the twins
are even graceful. Particularly is this
shown by waltz. They sing alto and
soprano at the same time, and can talk

HUNTING THE ITALIAN
KENNER'S MURDERER HAS MADE
GOOD HIS ESCAPE.
The Officers Suspect That He Has Fled
the Countrywide Inquest on
the Dead Man.

Despite the vigilant efforts OF the Off
cers of both the shsriff's Office and the
police department. Giovanni Carrozza.
the murderer Of the colored blacksmith,
Roy Kenner, has not been apprehended.
Detectives were securing the country
in almost every direction oil day yes
terdsy and the night before. Three
hours after the murder Carrozza was
seen near the Orphans' home in Boyle
Heights. He was apparently bound for
the Nadeau ranch, where he had friends,
but the officers could find no trace of
him there.
The city has been thoroughly searched, i,
and it 10 the opinion of the officers that
the murderer reached some outside
town, and boarding train has left the
state.
When the murderer stabbed his wife's
godfather in Newark, N. j., several
years ago, he fed to South America,
and it seems likely now that he
will 90 to Mexico or come other foreign
country.
Capassa, the brother-in-law of the
fugitive from iustice, who 10 under ar
rest for completely in the crime, stated
to reporter for THE HERALD that, while
he was in the backsmith chop he never
saw Oarrozza stab the colored man. He
exhibited wound on the left wrist
which he said was made by Kenner in
the fight which resulted in the latter's
death. 1t wss evident that Kenner
struck him severe blow.
A report was received last night that
the murderer was seen in the country,
but the clue proved misleading.
Coroner Gates held an inquest upon
the body OF the murdered man at the
undertaking rooms OF Orr & Patterson,
but no new facts were developed.

Despite the character OF the evidence
adduced in Justice Austin's court in the
case of Maud May yesterday. she was
held to answer to the superior court on
charge OF robbing Willis Chapman OF
S23 on Third street last Sunday night.
Chapman told the story of how he

mony was not of very conclusive char
acter, and was given IN manner that
did not carry . great deal OF weight. He
could not tell the exact time the money
was taken. but missed it few minutes
afterwards.
Justice Austin held that enough evil
dence had been adduced to show that
the crime was committed. and ordered
