istence of this jewel case and had been
after it, but the heavy fall of Mrs. Lang
feldt's body, combined with hearing the
footsteps of the man in the room over
head, scared him and he contented him
self with hastily pulling off the rings from
her fingers before he fed"
There is one point that will have to be
definitely settled, and that is whether the
Coroner or his deputies have the right to
remove body and articles from the place
before the police have an opportunity OF
reaching there. 1t occurred in the case of
Nellie Harrington and also in the case OF
Mrs. Langfeldt.
As a rule the police take entire charge
until they have finished their investigation
and gathered together anything that
might be of service in tracing the MUIR
derer or giving q clew to the motive for the
deed. Here it is different. The Coroner
takes the body away at once and all the
papers or articles be thinks proper. By
this means there is always possibility of
something important being ov erlooked by
the police.
Captain Lees said last night that after
the Harrington case he had spoken to the
Coroner and he did not expect that il
would happen again, but it had. The
Coroner had only control over the body
and anything found upon it with the addi-
ton of, in the case of suicide, the instru-
ment the deed was committed with, such
as pistol or knife, when found near the

Another Insurance Company Tires of

The Phoenix Insurance Company of

when the Phoenix reinsured its CONNER

THE TELLTALE TICKET.
1t Seals the Identity OF the South
bound Fugitive With That
of Blanther.

If any doubt existed that the man who
travelled on the train from the Oakland
mole on Saturday evening, May 16, en-
route to Ell Paso, was the murderer Blan-
Their it has been dispelled.
The second-class ticket which he pur-
chased from the agent at Martinez was re-
ceived back at the auditors Office of the
Southern Pacific yesterday morning and
was at once sent to Captain Lees.
1t showed that Blanther had travelled
right through to Ell Paso, reaching there
at o'clock Monday night, so that he has
been five clear days on Mexican soil, as it
is presumed he lost no time in crossing
the border.
The ticket bears the signature 'H. NJ.
Forbes" He had comm enced to write
Zones" instead of Forbes" but after
writing 40" he changed his mind and
added "rbes" and drew line across the
~" making it an 'fF."
comparison with the signature and
some of Blanther's manuscript leads ire
sistibly to the conclusion that he was 81.
M. Forbes" This is apparent even to a
novice In handwriting, more particularly
from the formation of the obs" and the
capital letter "H," which is characteristic
in all his writings.
Captain Lees has communicated with
the authorities in Mexico as to the arrest
of the murderer and is having circulars
printed in the Spanish language contain
ing the particulars of the murder, full
description of Blanther, his photograph.
and the fact that the Governor has offered
reward of $1,000 for his capture. The Cir
n n lar will ha -
once be posted. Every point has been COW
cred by telegraph, so that if Blanther
should attempt to leave Mexican soil he
will be at once arrested.
Captain Lees said last night that there
was no truth in the sensational report in
an evening paper that Miss EstelIe
Thomas of Oakland was Blanther's
companion in his fight and that
Chief Crowley had been wiring to Iowa to
get q statement from her if she went there.
A Mrs. Estelle Thomas and a boy were
passengers on the same train and Blan-
Their spoke once to her. but according to
Pullman Conductor Bell it was evident
they were strangers, and besides the lady
and the boy left the train at Mojave.
The captain yesterday examined the
jeweiry found by the Deputy Coroner in a
jewel case in Mrs. Langfeldts room. and
which the murderer overlooked. The cap
tain was anxious to examine it, although
the Deputy Coroner had characterized it
as 'snide." He found that the stones
both diamonds and pearls, were very yalu-
able, the only "snide" piece of iewelrv
being an old bracelet, which had paste
jewels in it.
