MRS. BALLIETT'S STORY

MAHANoY CITY, July 2O.-The inquest
in the case of Frank Baynolo, the Italian
who was murdered at Natesville last
Sunday evening, was continued before
Deputy Coroner Edward FoRarty last
evening. Several witnesses were exam
ined, but very little testimony of import
tance was ELECTED.
1t is generally believed here that the
majority of the witnesses who have been
examined are inclined to keep their
mouths closed as much as possible ire
spective of all sense of justice and the
authorities are becoming impressed that
there is a disposition to shield the guilty
parties
District Attorney Ryan was present last
evening and conducted the examinations.
1t was announced last nisht that James
Iahaney had disappeared. a warrant mas
been issued for his arrest but thus far the
constable has not been able to execute it.
The case is not to be disposed of in a
slip-shod manner and it is only Ques ion
of time when all the guilty parties
will be arranged before the bar of justice
unless they succeed in getting into some
secluded part of the earth and remain
there, as the Italian consul at New York
has taken an interest in the case and says
his government will see that it is pushed
vigorously The cOnsups representative
was here yesterday.
1t seems difficult to get witnesses to
attend the inquest. Last evening several
who had been summoned failed to put in
an appearance and for that reason the in
quest has been again continued until this
evening.
