X 3. Ransom, foreman of the jury, who

certed over the way in which the investi-

Regarding the inquest Ransom said to-
day: Il know that the Coroner Yesterday

members OF the jury TO believe that he
wanted 10 find out ABOUT the cause. of the
railroad accident as well as the cause of
the man 5 death. There were only four
witnesses. Two We're railroad men, only
one OF whom saw the engineer after the
accident one was passenger, whose
testimony was worthless. IRON these
facts 1 was not satisfied with the evi-
dence. The Coroner made his little speech
There was a glass door leading into the
hallway and some one was peeping
through this nearly all the time.
We made written request for more
witnesses. This the Coroner calmly read,
and then said in fulsome speech that we
were not called upon TO inquire into the
causes of the accident. because from the
evidence produced there was nothing TO
show that any one had been TO blame l
said that If he merely wanted to tell
where the engineer was killed that was
simple and the testimony OF the conduc-
tor was enough.
When we were writing our request for
witnesses the careful watcher at the door
evidently thought that we were preparing
verdict. When three of us had signed
the request for additional witnesses he
came with blank and said: Gentlemen,

COLONEL STONE ExoNERATED
Fire Marshal Towe Finds the Fire on
Jones Street Was Accidental.

Colonel Walter Everett Stone seems
10 be the victim Of circumstances in con-
nection with suspicious fires. After care
ful inquiry by Fire Marshal Towe he was
exonerated from all blame for the fire at
the Bush-street Theater. and yesterday ne
got n clean bill from the Fire Marshal
for the fire at 80 Jones street.
Bonito Espeio, a Filipino boy l. years
of age. confessed TO the Fire Marshal yes
terday that he was the accidental cause
OF the fire. When the Filipnos took up
their residence at 75S Howard street the
boy carried off two easy chairs belonging
10 the landlady. "ColoneT' Stone made
the boy carry the chairs back. and told
him to wait in the house till a woman he
had engaged called TO sweep out the
rooms.
While the boy was waiting he went up
TO the attic. where a lot of furniture and
other stun was stored. and stepped upon
a match that became ignited and set fire
to some paper. The boy got scared when
he saw the smoke and flame and ran as
fast as he could TO the Howard street
house.
Fire Marshal Towe takes no stock in the
"coloneFs' statement that one Of the Fill
pinos set fire to the Bush-street Theater.
and says il is too ridiculous TO be consid-
cred for a moment. He says he will be
glad when the colonel takes his depart
ure for Washington.
