MORE EVIDENCE.
The Two Accused Slayers
of Camille Elikan
Arraigned.
HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
More About the Crime and
the Men Who Are Ac-
cused of It.
EXAMINATION ON MONDAY.
New Links Were Added Yesterday TO
the Chain OF Evidence Which
IL Being Bound About
the Men,

F. L. Healey and e. A. Feslsr were
arraigned before Jr..ice e. Ecsec.sns =.
Long Beach yesterday and charged with
the murder OF Camille Elikan.
Neither had anything to say when the
solemn-isced justice Of the peace fin
ished reading the charge and looked up
over bis glasses at them, but the eyes
OF Feeler sought the floor while Healey
gazed blankly straight ahead and MUIR
INJURED that he had already said all he
cared to.
The scene in the little court room
when the two men were brought before
the giver OF justice WAS rather peculiar
one.
The proceedings were % quiet and
orderly - though the two young men.
seated on either side OF Deputy Sheriff
Martin, we're charged with stealing Q
pair OF secondhand horaeshoes instead
OF being charged with the gravest crime
possible-thst OF deliberately and with
malice Of forethought taking the life Of
fellow man.
The good citizens OF the peaceful
overhowing. and, during the proceed
ings, gssed at the slayers Of their fellow.
citizen with more pity than OF anger or
hatred written on their faces. These
two men some of them had known for
years. They had counted Thorn as
friends, perhaps, in other days, and
there WAS hardly Q person in town who
had not an acquaintance with either one
or both.
The proceedings over, Sheriff Cline
and his deputy, David Martin, took
their prisoners over the route they had
followed on the night of the murder,
when they cay they were pursuing the
robber and murderer.
No one in Long Beach believes that
story now. No one il there but believes
that the two men arrested are the guilty
ones. When little groups of tho citizens
gathered on the streets yesterday they
discussed the awful details and incidents
Of the crime, and NOT . single doubt was
expressed as to the guilt Of these men.
MORE EVIDENCE.
Yesterday furnished more evidence In
the chain that is being drawn around
the men. A mutilated overcoat, washed
up by the waves, was found upon the
sandy beach just before tho men were
brought into the court.
1t had been loaded down with sand in
the pockets. the lining and the arms
and caet into the sea. 1t was recog.
nized as one worn by Feeler just before
the murder.
Near where the money was found bur.
led In the sand the searchers found Q
suit OF underclothes which, from certain
statements made by Healy before the
coroner's jury. must have been worn by
him on the night of the murder.
The searchers are still looking for the
revolver and the remainder of the money
which was in the satchel. In the room
occupied by the mon they have found
cartridge, the calibre of which 10 identi.
cal with the bullet taken BY the sur.
geons from the vertebra Of the dead
man.
Such damaging testimony o. this 1t is
that has 90 thoroughly convinced the in
habitants OF the place that Camille
Elikan was murdered by Healey and
Feeler.
WILL GRAVES EVIDENCE.
Will Graves, the clerk for Mr.. Elikan.
was in bad in the room over the store
when the murder was done. He had
been sitting MP in bed reading, but says
he must have dozed before the shot
awoke him. He had heard the men
walking in the store below several times
during the evening but had supposed
the noise to be made by Elikan and
Ethel Lowe. The fact that he heard
two persons in the store below, however,
gives away the story of the accused men
that one man. whom they chased, did
the deed.
I. L. Tederman and Cy Rogers were
the two who were first spoken to BY
Healey and Feeler when they returned
from the trip up the beach. The story
