morning by $. K. Williams, eX-otficio coroner, upon the dead body of Album dio Salas, who was shot and killed the evening previous by deputy constable Francisco Jurado, recently deputized under Constable Doyle. The jury em- paneled was composed of c. Mcguire, John Haninger, William Dew, w. H. Bills, John Greener and Thomas Dwy- CT Constable Doyle was the first wit ness examined. He testified that about 9p. m. on Monday night he was called by telephone from deputy .Jurado to come to the place of Anita Romero, a disreputable resort situated in upper Brewery Gulch as trouble there was feared Upon going there the Romero women informed him that it had been reported to her that four MeXicans had earlier threatened to go to her place later and clean it out; that two Of the men were then in the barroom and had already been insulting and abusive. Deputy Jurado was there and reported that he had already searched the men, one of whom was the deceased, for wea- pons but had found none on either ot them. Doyle instructed Jurado to in- sist upon order being kept and to at once arrest the men, or any others, should any disturbance occur. Mean while Doyle had met Deputy Constable Johnson there and they left the place together, reasonable degree of order having been restored and no difficulty being apprehended beyond the ability of Officer Jurado to handle. Doyle and Johnson had proceeded on their way down town when as they were near Shattuck's lumber yard heard the re- port of four shots, two being in rapid succession and not nearly so loud as the third report The fourth report was apparently from weapon Of the same calibre as that from the first two shots. Both officers immediately hastened back and on the way met a Mexican running who was placed under arrest. Upon reaching a spot about hundred yards north of the lumber yard found the body of the deceased lying in the road dead, and Jurado standing near. The latter said "He tried to kill me and l shot him." After lantern had been procured pistol was found lying about ten feet from the dead body with three empty chambers bearing evidence of having been recently discharged. Plac- ed Jurado under arrest and took pos session of his pistol, which had one re- gently emptied chamber.
 Two pistols, one of 3S cal. and one of A cal. were here produced by the court and identified by the witness; the one of 38 cal. as being the one found near the dead body and the other as that of officer Jurado. At the conclusion of his testimony Constable Doyle by per mission of the court briefly addressed the jury asking them to thoroughly in- vestigate the matter and the circum- stances which lead to the affray. He explained the necessity of having an officer regularly stationed in the imme- diate vicinity of the disreputable places located in npper Brewery Guleh, that he had so stationed officer Jurado, and that that officer had already shown himself vigilant, efficient and fearless in the discharge of his duties.
 Deputy John M. Johnson, then gave his testimony. Since he had been in the company of Doyle his testimony was merely corroboration of the testimony given by Doyle.
 M. J. Thomas, stonemasOn, who lives near the scene of the shooting then testified. He was at home and en- gagged in conversation with his wife between and 10 o'clock Monday even- ing when he heard four shots; some- what familiar with the use of firearms and fully agreed with Doyle's impress sion regarding the volume of the re- ports of the shots and the order of their occurrence.
 Isaac Goforth was examined but no facts of consequence were eliclted
 Jesus Bringas, young Mexican tes- I tified that he was in the saloon of Anita Romero on Monday evening about 9 o'clock. The deceased and compan- 1 ion were at the bar and using vile and abusive language to the bartender and also to others near. tbem. Officer Jur-. ado was there and tried to quiet them telling them to go home. The men re- ! fused to leave and directed their abuse and vile epithets to him. The barten- { der asked Jurado to remove the men from the place. Upon their again re- , fusing to go Jurado forcibly ejected them, arrested them and started down f the guch with them. l followed about . ten feet behind. Alter going short distance the larger of the two men ar rested struck lurado with his list and ran: the other immediately drew pis- tol and commenced shooting at the of- ficer. After two shots Jurado fired one SnOU Ine ueGeuSGu Iuu leW SJtpS and fell, as he fell or immediately upon falling his pistol was again discharged.
 Francisco Jurado was then called. He testified that he was appointed dep uty constable under NJ. Doyle, on Jan uary ?, 1901. Ills special instructions were to remain about the vicinity of tho disre utable houses and especially to ttke every precaution against the carving of deadly weapons by persons
