WITNESS ETZLER FOUND.
The Kissing Link i'm the Chain of Evil
dence Against skid" Thompson.

LOS ANGELES, April S.-Charles
Etzler the missing witness in the kid
Thompson case, has been found. After
a long ard difficult search lasting for
months, he has been finally located by
Southern Pacific Detective Bowler, and
is now in the city ready to appear
against the accused train-robber.
EtZler is, next to Alva Johnson. the
most important witness for the prose-
cution, as he claims that kid Thomp-
son confessed the two train robberies to
him, and in addition Etzler says that
he went with the Kid to Tempe and
received the stolen Mexican dollars that
had been shipped from Los Angeles by
j ohnson.
1t was at first supposed that Etzler
had purposeiy gone into hiding, and for
reasons best known to himself preferred
not to appear against Thompson, but
from the statements he made last even
ing this fear on the part Of the prose-
cution appears to have been incorrect.
He has been working at odd jobs
around the country for the last two
years, and only recently did he go out
of the State.
Etzler arrived here yesterday morn
ing from Yuma, and the prosecution
now has the missing link in it's chain
of evidence against Thompson.

w. J. BRYAN INJURED.
The Piazza From Which He Had Been
Speaking COIIapSes.

ST. AUGUSTINE (Fla.), April S.
Hon. William Jennings Bryan was in
iured here this afternoon by the caving
in of the piazza from which he was
speaking. Nearly 400 men and women
were precipitated about twenty feet to
the ground, and many of them were
injured, but none fatally.
Mr.. Bryan was picked up unconscious
and removed to physicians office.
where an examination revealed that he
had received no injuries of a serious
character. 1t was deemed best, how
ever, to abandon the reception which
was to have been given this evening.
Mr.. Bryan arrived here at 4:50 p. M,
and was greeted at the station by sew
eral hundred people. At $50 he adj
dressed fully 10000 from the piazza
of the San Marco Hotel. At the close
of his speech hundreds of people f1ocked
about him, and it was then so great
was the strain that one section of the
piazza forty feet square fell through.
