 THE CORONER'S INQUEST. A Hearing of Matters of Extraordinary
 Interest.
 The inquest on the body of Dr. J. NJ Rose was held yesterday at Mesa, Jus tice of the Peace J. A. Spragg eff ciently acting as coroner. To the spectators from Phoenix one of the features of the occasion was the oath propounded by the justice to each sue cessive witness that You swear by Almighty God. the searcher of all hearts, that the testimony that you shall give in this case will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, as you are to answer to God in the end.'
 District Attorney Millay was at hand and Stenographer Tiffany took the testimony. The jury consisted of the following named representative Mesa ties: John H. Pomeroy, Phil Nets, W. D. Morton, H. J. Spragg, Edward BriZzee and c. w. Gibson.
 The testimony followed out the mar rative above given, though at times bit of new information would be vol unteered by witness. The little court room was damned and a curtain of curious cOuntenances screened every door and window. It was evident that Mesa had rare sensation to break the usual tenor of her soml lent ex- istence.
 Dr. J. c. Williams, the first witness, is forid individual with a military moustache and an eXcitable disposi- tion. AS he told the story of the raid Saturday night he made merriment by his graphic congregations of the occurrences of the uncomfortable even ing, of his excitement under fire and of his ideas as to the size of the weapons and the eternity of the time taken by the events that immediately pr6CeQoQ Jno SnOOIlNS.
 He identified the paraphernalia of the visitors presented in court as fol- lows A regular long-handled black smiths hammer and 3S-caliber Har- rington 6 Richardson seIf-cocking re- volver, both taken from Rose; an old wagon spoke found outside the door, a heavy Colts 44-caliber revolver, a heavy horseshoer's rasp and pair of scissors taken from HoXey
 As physician he gave expert testi- mony on half dozen druggists pow ders that were found sewed in the waistband of Roses trousers. Each, he declared to contain at least ten grains of morphine, sufficient to kill a half dozen people and beyond the limit of any victim of the morphine habit. From this testimony the de- duction was easy that Rose had added poison to the list of agents whereby he might commit murder Though not adduced in evidence, the sum of s21S4O was found on the body. Hoxey said that Saturday morning Rose showed him $500 in paper money, two of the notes being Tn denomination of S100. The doctor had 8 few personal re- miniscences of Rose to contribute Deceased was native of Indiana, 40 years of age. For twelve years Rose had lived at Chish oimville, Arkansas, where he had large and lucrative practice as physician. He committed burglary in the town shortly before he married Williams daughter, though his guilt did not develop till long after Rose had no property save a few notes of sums due him. He had numerous relatives, six brothers and three sisters Several of the brothers are especially hard cases and have been in the peni- tentiary. One of the sisters, now dead, married a dentist named Doss, who was in Mesa for several months last summer. Another, Lizzie Rose, had married, but had left her husband, Wilson, and had for years lived with Dr. Rose. She was the dead mans es- pecial favorite and would do anything for him.
 The most interesting witness of the day was Mrs. Rose She is a 1.-the, handsome young woman, and without blush and without hesitation stated her age at 26. Her English was fault less and her answers clearly given and concise. Not statement was vol unteered and she answered only the questions gingerly and delicately pro- pounded by the urbane district attor- ney. She told little more than her father had told, and was not communi- cative on the subject of the family his tory
 She married Rose in Kingfsher, Oklahoma, in May, 1893, after an ac- quaintance of about a year. They took up their residence in Chisholm vile, where Rose had a medical prac- tice. He left October 20, 1894, and was supposed to have gone to South Amer lea. There WAS m trnuhln hatu-ccn
