next winter. He is known to have come
to the sound. The most important wit
nesses to his identity are Al James anu
Nelson Bennett. James came from Ore
gon, where he knew Case well. He saw
him at Portland last winter and suisse
auently in this city, and positively iden-
titles him. Nelson Bennett occupied a
berth in the sleeper when the Southern
Pacific train was held up at Cow Creek,
and saw both robbers thu ough the cur
tains. They wore masks, but the taller
one, he told Coroner Hoska, very strongly
resem bled the dead robber, whose CORPSE
he viewed at the morgue to-day. The
mustache in particular was like that OF
the Oregon robber.
Case had been in Tacoma for several
weeks. He began purchasing cigars at
stand three weeks ago, and paid regular
visits to one or two saloons His hat
bears the trademark of M. Josephson. a
Roseburg merchant, showing that he
came from that section.
Several physicians spent two hours this
afternoon making an autopsy to ascertain
lust how death resulted. 1t was found
that the second bullet from Superintend-
emit Danes pistol pierced Cases left lung
and the aorta, then CLAN cling over to his
left side. Death was practically instan-
taneous after this bullet struck him.
Coroner Hoska is endenvoring to learn if
Case had an relatives in Oregon who de-
sire the body, otherwise it will be inferred
in the potters' field.
Superintendent Dame to-day received
kilograms from New York, Boston (his
old home) and several other cities con-
graduating him on his bravery. He has
stated that he would not take the same
chances again.

TOLD A YARN To
SHIELD HIMSELF
Hotel Clerk KaVanaugh
No Longer Nevada
City'S Hero.
Officers Puncture the Story of
His Fight With Two
Bandits.
Declare They Can Prove That He
and Confederate We're the
Real Robbers.

NEVADA CITY, CAL, May 22-Walter
Kavanaugh is no longer the hero of
Nevada City. Ten days ago this 2O-year-
old youth gained reputation for bravery
by putting to flight two masked men who
had entered the Office of the Union Hotel
10 rob the safe-at least, that was Kav.
anaugh's story of the alleged encounter.
Now the generally accepted opinion is
that the two masked bandits existed only
in the Imagination of the hotel clerk.
Since the affair in the Union Hotel,
the local officials have been active. For
two days after the alleged encounter be-
tween Kavanaugh and his midnig bit
visitors posse of armed men, aided by
bloodhounds, searched the surrounding
country. but no bandits could they find.
The bloodhounds readily took up the
trail leading from the hotel, but after fol-
lowing it for short distance from the city
they turned and came back. Evidently
the robbers had not attempted to get away
from Nevada City, but had retraced their
steps and passed the balance OF the night
within the limits of the town.
Now the officers have found evidence
which supplies strong grounds for the be-
lief that Kavanaugh planned the attack
on the hotel himself, and was assisted in
it's execution by a confederate. While
they were robbing the safe the young
clerk accidentally upset money drawer,
scattering its contents over the floor.
The noise aroused ]. Northway. the pro-
prietor of the hotel. Hearing him NOV
ing about in his room, Kavanaugh's
confederate took flight, and the hotel
clerk, to give color to the story
that he was attacked by robbers,
fired couple of shots from his revolver
and scattered the furniture around the
room in confusion. Just as Northway
entered the Office ne dashed out of the
door as though in pursuit of some one.
again firing his revolver at the mythical
robbe-.
This is the theory advanced by the Off
GERS, and in proof OF it they offer an in
teresting exhibit. The sleeve OF buster,
said to have been worn by one of the rob-
bers, was found near the hotel wrapped
in paper.
The authorities have found in Kava-
naugh his room the sheet from which this bit
of paperwas torn. This is but portion OF
the evidence by virtue of which they de-
clare that they can prove the falsity OF
young Kavanaugh's story.
Kevanaugh will not BIO prosecuted, for
the reason that even though his story is
untrue he failed to get away with any OF
the gold in the hotel safe. The young
man had not borne an unenviable reputa-
ton heretofore.
Several years ago he was convicted OF
crime in Oakland and sentenced to San
Quentin. He was asterward transferred
to the Preston School of Industry. and
after serving his term in that institution
came to Nevada City year ago.
