of the wards but in most cases the

due to his having made no very active

saw Joe lying on the floor with his
head on a pillow, which was covered
with blood. There was also blood on
Rosa's forehead. He did not think
much of the matter at the time, but
when he heard that Joe was dead. he
thought it his duty to report what he
had seen.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth. as soon
as he had heard Keawe's story, sent for
George Rosa. Mrs. Joe Rosa and her
fourteen-year-o son. They were
brought TO the police station and sub
rl1itted to a severe examination. Their
stories differed very considerably.
George said that he had had trouble
on Saturday night with his brother. but
that no blows were struck. Asked To
explain several cuts and abrasions on
his hands, he said that he had fallen
down.
The boy on being questioned stated
that he had seen his uncle strike his
father with something on the head.
Mrs. Joe Rosa's statement was to the
effect that last Saturday about mid
night she and her husband had trouble
al their house. George came in and
demonstrated with his brother and the
two had a row. She was frightened and
ran out into the yard and hid herself.
About o'clock on Sunday morning she
returned to the house and saw Joe ly-
ing on the floor with his head covered

with blood. Near by him she saw an
knife.
DR.. Alvarez was sent for, and yester-
day morning her husband died. AS
soon as he was dead George Rosa went
to see Father Valentine to obtain per-
mission from him to bury his brother
in the Catholic cemetery. 1t was point
ed out that the family were in arrears
of cemetery dues. The arrears were
Immediately paid and the desired per-
mission granted. About 80 yesterday
afternoon the funeral took place, elev-
en- people, including George Rosa and
Mrs. Joe Rosa, following the remains
to the grave.
When the woman had finished her
story Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth or
dered her and George Rosa placed un-
der arrest.
He next sent Captain Parker to the
house to search for the iron bar and
the knife which Mrs. Rosa had spoken
about, as we'll as the pillow. Captain
Parker was unsuccessful in his hunt
for the bar and knife, but found the
pillow which was blood-stained. He
also found the pillow case which had
been washed, but which was still
stained.
Meanwhile Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth, having first consulted with
President Sloggett of the Board Of
Health. took some TRUSTEES and pro-
ceeded to the buryins ground, where
the body was exhumed and taken to
the n1orgue. There DR.. Mcdonald per-
formed an autopsy.
Several bruises and abrasions were
found on different parts of body, but in
the head was found the wound which
caused death. In the left temple was
tiny hole hardly a sixteenth of an inch
in diameter. This hole penetrated the
skull, and inside the head widened out
until 1t became a cavity nearly half an
inch square. How this wound was caus-
ed is mystery, but from appearances
it looks as if stiletto or some long thin
instrument had been plunged into the
skull and then twisted round and round,

about noon yesterday. When the
symptoms made themselves apparent
there were few people about the Or
pheum theater but the actors, and the
pains which indicated gastric disturb
ances drew forth few suggestions OF
perfect remedies. Stenographer Cowan
was ready with some specifics and the
men stricken tried them. But the mai
ady was not TO be touched by such
treatment and about noon the pam

COwan put forth his very best efforts
for Hogan. He secured cascara, gin

which in the opinion OF the physician
induced a complication in the form OF
an attack OF gastritis. Others insist
that the remedies were only brought
and not taken. But at least 1T Is a fact

asked Cowan to come to the police sta

When he arrived he found that each of
the men was suffering from a variety
of poisoning and administered an emet-

were soon out of danger.
With Hogan the pain rapidly became

but the moment the effect wore off the
actor was wild again. and ii became a
task to prevent him from doing him
self damage in his frenzy. Billy Nc

three hours and more he struggled be-
side his bed. holding him when in his

the stage and endeavored to go on with
his part. 1t was Il shouting time, for
the manager of the aggregation would
give orders to an imaginary troupe or
phantom stage force, while he fought
for freedom against the wrestling

The physician was aided at length by
his partner, DIR. Herbert, and after sew

been no other cause than ptomaines
and that the speedy action of remedies
had prevented perhaps serious ending

While Hogan was out OF all danger
last evening he was still very weak
from his struggles and suffering. He
said that he had n close call and that
he had no reason to believe that he
could have suffered from any other
cause than the supper of oysters. Che
nault and Christian gave the same
opinion, and though they had a much
lighter attack, they still felt the effects
of their illness.
Johnson of the Star oyster House
said last evening that ne could not un-

JOE ROSA DONE TO
DEATH in HIS HOME
Body Is Exhumed and His Brother
and Wife Are Arrested and Held
for Investigation.

TOE ROSA, a well known Portu-
guese, lies at the morgue with a
- hole in his temple and in a cell at
the police station the dead mans wife
and his brother, George Rosa, await in
terrible suspense the verdict which will
be returned by a coroner's jury to-
night.
The death of Joe Rosa is surrounded
by a tragic mystery and it is a matter
Of the merest chance that he was not
allowed to rot in his coffin while his
killer moved in society unsuspected.
Murder will out is an old adage, but
it holds just as good today as ever and
the prospects are that to the slayer of
Joe Rosa will be meted out the pun
ishment which he SO richly deserves.
George Rosa ana Mr.. and Mrs Joe
Rosa lived in one house at the corner
Of Miller street and Wilder avenue. On
Sunday DR.. Alvarez was called in TO
attend Joe Rosa, who was very sick.
He grew worse and died yesterday
morning. DR.. Alvarez issued a certif-
cate of death to the effect that death
was due to alcohol poisoning
Yesterday afternoon the funeral took
place and the body was Inferred in the
Roman Catholic cemetery on King
street.
About $3.50 yesterday afternoon. a ma
tive boy named W. Keawe. sought out
Deputy Sheriff McGurn and told him
that he wanted to speak to him about
Joe Rosa's death. He said that in his
opinion there were some very suspi-
cious circumstances connected with the
affair. McGurn said that Keawe had
better tell his story 70 Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth and together they went
over to see him.
Keawe. who works In the Registry
Office, lives near the Rosas. He told

caught last night on South
street by mounted police officers. one
of them riding as a passenger in the
hack of Makaena. 1t is believed that
the police have secured two Of the
men who have been at the bottom OF
the petty thievery reported in various
parts Of the city. That the men were
not above adding worse crimes to their
probable thieving was made apparent
last night by their weapons. The Por-
to Ricans gave their names to the po-
lice clerk as Jose Castra and Malsaya.
About o'clock last night Makaena
was driving down South street toward
queen street, with a passenger in the
rear seat of his hack. Half way down
the block he was stopped by two men
who suddenly jumped out Of the dark
ness. His horse was halted. but quick
Iy released when the men saw that
there were two men In the hack In
stead of just the driver. Makaena
drove down to Queen street and met
mounted police officer to whom he told
the incident. The officer told him TO
drive back again with his passenger
still in the hack This was done, and
the two men again halted the hack, but
allowed the vehicle to continue up the
street when they found there were two
men to deal with. The hack made a
detour and the matter was again re-
ported to the mounted officer. Ofhcer
Devauchelle then dismounted and got
into the hack and ordered Makaena TO
drive up the street to make reconnoi-
sance. officer Pearson was advised to
keep behind the hack close enough TO
