PETER BRACH KILLS HIMSELF

A coroner's inquest was held yesterday
TO determine, II possible. the manner in
which Esther Gunion met her death
Several witnesses testified. and some
startling revelations were made. An ex-
pressman testified that he had seen Miss
Gunlon yesterday morning on the road
way near Smiths Point In company with
a man. He identified the body as that
OF the woman he had seen on the bridge.
The expressman says when he met the
couple they were both in an intoxicated
condition. The man asked him II he
would take the woman up town, as she
was so drunk she could scarcely walk.
This the expressman agreed to do. but
as the man could not lift Miss Gunion
into the wagon, the expressman drove of.
He says he is positive the woman IL the
same person as the one seen on the
bridge, but he says he thinks he would
not be able 10 Identify the man.
From the developments yesterday. IL
would appear that the woman was not
murdered up the river, but In this city.
Others beside the expressman are said
to have seen her In Astoria yesterday
as late as or 10 o'clock. It is the
belief that the party with whom she
was seen murdered her. Indications at
present make It probable that Miss Gun
ion was crushed with rocks, while lying
In drunken stoupor on the beach. John
Yoppera, who found the body says there
were several large stones on the corpse,
and that one weighed at least 100 pounds
1t Is believed the murderer or murder
ers dropped the rocks upon the woman
from the trestle. which accounts for the
frlghtful gashes on the head. That she
was not killed up the river Is an estab-
lishcd fact, and the assassin Is supposed
to be In Astoria. The Inquest has been
postponed until Monday, by which time
1t is thought the murderers will be ap-
pretended.
But II The belief that the woman was
murdered here proves true. matters viii
