1. L. Buckley came to town yester.
dav with a little wad in his pocket and
pro eeded to replenish his wardrobe
Incia antally he also attempted to as
SAUCE a thirst of long standing and
succetd ed so well that he fell asleep
on the sidewalk. A policeman awak'
ened him and gave him a bed in the
city's lodging house. This morning
Mr.. Buckley put up such a good talk
that he melted the heart of the mag
istrate and was allowed to go with q
reprimand.
A strong suspicion exists in the
minds of the sheriff's officers and the
coroner that fer some reason the
friends of the murdered Inomata are
not very eager to secur the arrest
of his alleged murderer, K. Wada. NJ
description of the missing man has
been given to the authorities and II
no other manner have they indicated
any desire to bring about his appre
hension. 1t is said that consider
able envy obtains among some of thu
survivors and that they do not carr
much whether Wada is ever arrest
ed or mot. In fact, it is belieed tina
some of them would a little rather h
were not. This, taken with the usua
Indifference characteristic of tn
Orientals in matters of that kind
causes the authorities to think that !
the suspect is ever overhauled it will
not be through any assistance render
ed by the Japs.
