LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-From a
letter received here to-day by local at
torneys from d. w. ChOlsser, repre-
senting Eastern relatives of Joseph and
Louis Choisser of Equality. Ill, slain
here by police officers, it is evident
that court proceedings against the off,

against the officers will depend upon
the determination of District Attorney

are believed to be certain.
More witnesses to the tragedy were
interrogated at the DistTicS Attorney s
office this morning and the evidence
corroborates that of others who tesd-
fed that young Choisser was unarmed
when he was killed
The letter received from the Eastern
relatives makes the claim that the
Choissers were guilty of no crime there,
having only left a number of debts be-
hind which they were amply able to
nav. The writer states that the slain
men had always borne a good repu:a-

Snow and Fog Produce Dense
Darkness and Steamers Lose
Their Bearings on the Bay,
Resulting in One Collision

NEW YORK, Dec. ga driving
snowstorm. accompanied by furious
squalls that at times rose to almost
hurricane force, struck this city early
to-day. Lowering black clouds pressed
down on a bank of sea fog and the
dense character of the snowfall COM
bined to produce for nearly half an
hour so deep a darkness that lights
were lit in all the downtown streets
and along the water front. During
this period many ferry-boats and other
craft lost their bearings completely and
the harbor resounded with the whistles
of vessels cautiously cropping their way
through the gloom. The Brooklyn boat,
heading for the Manhattan side, found
herself off the Battery, several blocks
away from her slip. Ocean steamers
bound in and out were compelled TO
stop and lie to until the darkness lifted.
The ferry-boat John G. Carlisle, carry
ing immigrants from Ellis Island,
crashed into the steamboat Tauras off
the Battery, but both vessels escaped
with slight damage. The darkness lift
ed almost as quickly as 1t settled down
and the snow was succeeded by clear
ing skies, high gales and a rapidly fall
ing temperature, the mercury going
down Is degrees. from "a to 19, within
three hours. So fierce was the gale
during the afternoon that many pedes-
trians were thrown down and in some
instances were seriously injured.
Around Cape Flat Iron," at Broad
way and Twenty-third street. the wind
ragged in gusts of almost cyclonic fury.
Here ore man was dangerously hurt
by being struck with a fragment of
large plate glass window, blown out of
an adjacent building.
Toward evening the wind, which had
at times attained a velocity of sixty
miles an hour, died down, the mercury
continuing to drop until at 10 o'clock
it touched degrees above zero, with
indications of still lower figures dur
ing the night. In all about a dozen
persons were reported by the police to
have been injured by falls or flying
pieces of debris during the day. The
total snowfall was only about half an
inch.
