Ever since the crime Was committed
there has been noticeable among the Ger
man residents OF South Seattle threaten

A FORMAL. CHARGE MApG
The weight Of the evidence against
Cramer may be judged from the fact that
no inquest over the remains of the dead
woman and her child is deemed neces-
sasy. The statute governing in
quests provides In effect that the
coroner shall summons jury
when from the circumstances OF the case
he deems it necessary to secure evidence
against the guilty party. Up TO noon
yesterday Coroner Horton held him self
In readiness 10 impanei jury, but later,
after conference with the prosecuting
attorney, he decided that such action
was not necessary and would only entail
nseless expense upon the county.
When Cramer was removed from the
city to the county jail yesterday morning
he had lost his volubiIity and spoke not a
word as the patrol wagon drove up the
hill. An informstion was being prepared
against him last evening Today il will
be filed. aud the preliminary examination
will take place as soon rs practicable
probable this afternoon, and at the farthest
not later tia tomorrow.
