matte Notes The Latest in the
Murder Case.
Three mquests were held at the office
1f Alderman Evans ON saturday after
noon. Tn, FIRST investigation made by
Coroner Mckee. who was present, was
To. ascertain how Edward Flynn, OF
oregon, died, he having been found
dead in bed On q morning of last week.
The report OF the physician who per
formed the autopsy was that he died
from natural causes ana verdict was
accordingly found by the jury, Upon a
little investigation by the reporter as
to the necessity for the holding Of in
quests upon cases Of this kind, we We're
informed that owing to the active work
done by some insurance companies OF
questionable rcpute, who take risks on
anything and everything, the action
taken was deemed necessary, us mys-
trrous and sudden deaths have been
Of frequent occurrence lately. The
next case heard was that of John
Glenn, who dropped dead in his own
house one day last week, Just as he
had returned from the funeral Of a near
friend. The usual autopsy showed that
death was the result Of heart disease,
The last investigation was that of
the late Peter COnnell, whose murder
was reported in The Tribune a few
hours after the unfortunate affair hap
pened. The autopsy made by DR.. I'M
derwoOd revealed that the victim had
been shot directly through the upper
portion Of the heart, and the wound
was sufficient to produce instant death
There were three men arrested foI

Insnlunit> Promised.


In addition to this the president of
the United States had instructed the
war investigating commission to an
nounce publicly that witnesses before
that tribunal would he given immunity
for whatever they might testify to. This
was a solemn promise given by the
president of the United States, and
counsel had no doubt that the court
would find that General Eagan could
not under these circumstances be held
to answer to a military court martial
for his language.
General Miles. he said, had appeared
before the committee about three weeks
before General Eagan had made his
statement and on that occasion had
made most serious charges against
many of lis subordinates and particu-
larly against him and the commissary
department of the army. He had charg-
ed General EaGan with being incom-
petent and neglectfu of his duties and
had inferentially charged him General
Eagan) with issuing poisoned meat to
the soldiers of the army and had aver
red that many had died in consequence.
He had also implied that General Eagan
was acting corruptly in the matter.
Immediately upon reading the testi-
mony given by General Miles General
Eagan went to the secretary of war and
asked leave to bring charges against
him. General Alger had replied that
under the presidents order of immuni-
ty General Miles could not be held re-
sponsible for his language before the
committee. The newspapers then took
it up and goaded General Eagan al
most to desperation. He had come to
believe that the press and the country
at large had accepted the accusations
made by General Miles as true, and the
condition OF his mind in consequence
grew worse and worse until he was in
| state bordering on distraction.
| The language which General Eagan
used under these circumstances, he
| said, was the natural outburst of an
| honest man suffering under an unjust
accusation. In closing, Judge Worth
| ington said that General F.agan could
