CRIMINAL JOKE
An Idiotic Knave Nearly Causes a
STAMPEDE at the Orpheum

Yesterday afternoon at the Orpheum
matinee there occurred an incipient
stampede which might have been
fraught with the most regrettable re-
suits had it not been for the presence of
mind of the performers on the stage at
the time. The musical hussars were do
ing their turn upon the many instru-
ments which are their speciality when
couple of small boys in the gallery en-
gagged in a fisticuff This of itself caused
quite commotion among the gods, but
when some idiot or knave halloed out
fire. it threw CONSERVATION and panic
fear among the many ladies and small
children in the auditorium.
A rush which could only have ended
in a catastrophe would surely have fol-
lowed, all the people having risen ready
to fly to the doors, had they not been
reassured almost Immediately by the i'm
perturbability with which the instru-
mentalists kept on blowing in their brass
instruments. Manager Bray, too, imme-
diately made his appearance and as
sured those present that there was no
fire and no cause for any anxiety.
1t was unfortunate that no officer was
present to place under arrest the scoun-
drel who, for the sake of a despicable
joke, would not have hesitated to be the
cause Of the death or manning of a num-
ber of innocent little children and per-
haps also Of grown persons.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES +

That was the verdict rendered yes
terday by the coroner's jury after the in
quest at Santa Monica on the remains
of the old man whose dead body was
found by two women on the beach. The
evidence adduced at the inquest which
led to that verdict will, it is believed,
be almost sufficient to place the hang
mans moose about the neck of the fgnor-
ant half-breed who, with his mistress,
Is believed to have slain Collins in cold
blood, without provocation and for no
other purpose than to rob him OF $50,
which he was known to have had on his
person few hours before he was killed.
II regard this as one of the strongest
cases of cold blooded and premeditated
murder that has ever been brought to
my notice." said Coroner Campbell last
night after his return from the inquest.
IF Indian Pete does not so to the gal
lows for this crime / will be greatly sur
prised; for believe the woman will con-
fess."
The inquest was held at the scene Of
the murder and, not being satisfied to
select jury from among the Mexicans
who are numerous about that place, the
coroner selected six Well-known citizens
eyince much interest in the matter and
Was kept outside the place while other
witnesses were being examined.
The particulars of the finding of the
body were related by the two women
who had discovered it, and then the jury
was shown the remains. The head was
a mass of clotted blood and on the back
Of the head appeared gaping wound,
along the edge Of which were pieces of
the SKULL The brain could be seen and
the portion of the skull that had been
mashed into the brain was fully an inch
below the level of the other parts of the
head. The wound had evidently been
dealt from behind, and with such force
as to make it certain that the murderer
had used both hands in full arm swing
with an ak. The ak with which the muir
der had been committed vas found and
exhibited to the jury. An attempt had
been made to wash the blood and hair
from it, but 1t had not been done well
enough for the purpose intended and the
coroner found sticking to the pole of the
ak a number of hairs which, when placed
among the dead mans hair were found
to be the same.

STILL AT 1T
Burglary Added 10 Highway Robbery
as Local Pastime in Crime

Not satisfied with highway robbery.
the criminals who seem to be infesting
the city in greater numbers than for
several months, have turned their at
tention to burglary. The robberies
have not ceased at all, but the bur-
glaries have simply been added to them.
There were two Of each Saturday night,
and as usual the police are making as
much a secret Of the cases as the GRIM
inals would desire their victims to make.
One of the hold-ups was near the
Santa Fe depot, and the amount Sc
cured by the highwaymen was only 40
cents. The other robbery was near the
corner of Eighth and Spring streets, but
the amount secured there was not stated.
These two robberies and two small
burglaries were reported to the. police,
full particulars being given them, but
for some reason which they could not
explain the matter was kept form the
public.

Garcia's mistress, who goes by his name
and Is as rough looking woman as could
be found in that locality, was called as
a witness. She declared that she knew
nothing whatever of the killing. Cor
oner Campbell let her talk for a time
and then asked her to let him see the $2J
which she had. She at once produced
the money and said that Collins had
paid 1t to her as part of debt of $50
which he had borrowed from her six
months ago. One of the woman's old
skirts was found by the coroner. COW
cred with blood, and she could not ex-
plain how the blood got there. Garcia
was then brought in and the woman
was taken out. He was asked about the
alleged debt of $50 which Co''ins owed
his mistress, and in regard to 1t he con-
tradicted almost all her statements.
He said that the amount of the debt
was SIS, not $780, and he knew nothing of
how the woman had secured 800. While
he was testifying the coroner discovered
that the mans coat was covered with
blood. 1t was a black garment and the
blood on 1t had not been noticed before.
Pete could not tell how the blood had
come there. and could not give salts
factory answers to any of the questions
as to his whereabouts on the night of the
murder. Other witnesses were examined
who had seen the victim of the murder
enter Pete's shack. The case was given
to the jury and the verdict given in the
foregoing was rendered as soon as it
could be written. The coroner then
ordered Pete and the woman returned to
the county jail
When Indian Pete was brought in he
was asked to give some particulars of
the alleged murder. He Immediately re-
piled in Spanish to his interlocutor,
whom he has known for great many
years: "Why. hombre, know naught
Of 1t. On yesterday I was drunk in the
pueblito-the village. I came home
afterward and went to sleep. I was in
the house and so was Mary, presume,
when this thing was done, but, quien
sabe? I am innocent of this murder
charged to me.
Have they arrested Mary too? Well,
now, I want to know who is going to
look after our things at the cabin in the
meanwhile? We have some chickens
there and other valuables. What barbara
ans these Gringoes are! Would you be-
lieve it, they have kept me going from
post to pillar all day, and have given me
nothing to eat!"
