Nelson came in town ana Informed

Public Administrator Ellis decided
to hold an autopsy. and Dr.. Lee prob
ed for the bullet. D.. Lee after the
autopsy testified that the ball was Of
the same calibre as the pistol. II
passed between the fourth and fifth
rib through both lobps Of the lungs
and lodged in the back. The Doctor
also found that the undershirr and
body were badly marked by " WIDER.
The pistol must have been ara.o.t his
body when fired. The jury brought il
a verdict Of suicide.
Many believe that " .-~qrd was
shot by the man that followed him.
There were few powder marks on his
clothes. Alter the shot he had fallen
back against a rock and his head was
badly bruised. He had rolled over on
his face and the pistol falling from
his hand was partially embedded in
the ground.
This circumstance is also look on
with suspicion as a man in his death
struggles will hold onto the pistol as
his hand is greatly contracted in
agony. On the other hand a team
ster insists that he saw MAYNARD on
the road as late as - o'clock and
spoke to him.
John Epstein, Waterman at the Can
itol, says that about midnight he
heard one shot fired in the direction
Of Kings Canyon. but this shot has
been accounted for.
There are marks of a struggle for
twenty feet around and in such a
struggle the pistol might have been
up against Maynard's BODY. If
Spragg's testimony is correct and the
single shot at midnight is accounted
for, then Maynard never killed him
self.

San Francisco, Oct. 28.-The coroner
today received a letter signed George
Reynolds, saying the writer's body
would be found in the bay, and con-
Tossing that he had been employed by
the attorneys of Theodore Durrant to
manufacture testimony in the murder
cases of Blanch Lamont and Minnie
Williams.
The letter says five other men were
also employed by the defense to make
false statements to convict Rev. Geo.
Gibson.
The letter is accompanied by type
written statement which the letter says
Reynolds was instructed by defendants
attorneys to swear to. The police are
investigating, but will not acknowledge
that the letter is a hoax.
