Hunter had said he got home at 8 and
was with Clark continuously during the
visit of Letitia Alice and her friends, who
did not leave till IL o'clock The body was
not seen by them, and consequently it must
have been removed before their arrival.
Clark could not have done this alone, but
must have had help or more time. 1t was
possible he had done it while Hunter was
asleep, but this was improbable.
Furthermore, Hunter on the morning
after the Chinaman was killed went away,
after his cousin, John, had called and told
him of the discovery of the wagon, asking
Clark to follow him to Hoffman's saloon,
whence Hunter telephoned to the sheriff
that a murder had been committed. So far
as the public was concerned, and so far as
Joe Hunter was concerned, if Joe's state
ment was true, nothing up to that moment
had transpred to cause any one to believe
that the Chinaman had been killed. The
only cew to his disappearance was the find
ing of the horse loose in the road, but Hun
ter had Immediately telephoned to the sher-
lit that murder had been committed.
The story now told by Clark was the most
probable that could be told. Hunter met
Clark as he was returning from the direction
of Glendale, had gone with him to the house
and found the wagon there and the China
man in the house. Joe was drunk and an
alteration arose. 1t was natural that he
should commit the crime while crazed by
liquor and angry over the laundry account.
There was no other incentive.
There was no reason why Clark should
kill the Chinaman, if not for money, and
the money was found on the dead body of
the laundryman. There was no possible rea-
son in the theory that Joe Hunter remained
in the house all that night, and that Clark,
unaided, had completely obliterated the
evidences of the crime. Hunter must have
had some knowledge of the murder. He
must have been present or participated in
the crime. 1t would, therefore, be the judg-
ment of the court that the defendant should
be held without bonds, to be judged on
trial, where all the evidence on both sides
could be justly weighed and true verdict
rendered by jury of his peers.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Miss May Lathrop Injured by . Falling
billboard.

Miss May Lathrop is lying at Wells
hospital suffering from a severe frac-
ture of the left hip. the result of a pc
culiar accident she met with on the
4th of the month. The Grand Opera
House company has for some time
maintained a big billboard at the cor
ner of Aluminium street and Utah ave-
nue., a portion OF the board extending
into Aluminium street. Recently all
of the board was taken down except
tina standing in the street. which was
left i'm n very Insecure condition. On
the 4th OF the present month Miss La
throp walked by the billboard and a
gust of wind blew IL down upon her,
breaking her hip. as stated. and other
wise injuring her. She was removed to
Wells hospital, where she has been
confined ever since. Miss Lathrop Is a
working girl and is entirely without
means and unable to pay even her hos
pital and medical fees. IL Is likely that
an action for damages will be brought
against the opera house company, as
several friends have interested them
selves in the unfortunate girls case.
