MURDERS ARE UNs0LvED.
Coroners Jury Investigating
Death of Weber Family.

Auburn, CAL, Nov. R.-Nothing new of
Importance has thus far been developed by
the Coroners investigation OF the Weber
tragedy.
Adolph Weber. the surviving member of
the family. testified that his father got
very angry when crossed. and had often
said serious things. but had never acted
insanely. and was over his anger In few
moments There had been no quarrel on
the day or evening Of the murders.
When In San Francisco this summer his
mother and father had a dispute, in which
the mother asked for division OF the
property. Nothing was said further and
the matter was dropped.
To Offset the murder and suicide theory,
the bullet wound In Mr.. Weber's body
took a downward course, which would in
dicate that it was fired by himself.
The 32-caliber pistol with which the VIC
Tins were killed has not yet been found.
Other witnesses testified that the elder
Weber had violent temper.
Mrs. Potter, neighbor, testified that
she saw two women in the window up
stairs In the room above the kitchen in
the Weber house, and heard them scream
Save me; for Gods sake, save me-"
Her father-in-law says he heard the
asne words. This was after the fire alarm
had been turned in

ages May Finally Secure JudE-
ments Against Holders Of Assets.

While varying opinions are expressed by
business men and lawyers as to the iiabii-
ity Of tho owners OF tho assets Of the
Transit Company for judgments against IT
for damages. the majority believe that II
the cases are carried to q court Of equity
claimants will gain judgment against the
holders Of the assets.
At the same time 1t Is stated that the
legal procedure necessary to carry these
cases to this court will b not only costly
but consume much time and as most of
tho claimants for damages are persons in
moderate circumstances the gain would
not be commensurate with tho cost
As a result it is believed that many per-
sons having damage suits against the
Transit Company will not continue further
prosecution. though several, who 1t is
said have excellent grounds for heavy
damages, will continue the prosecution.
An official Of the Transit, or United
Railways. Company stated yesterday that
the large majority Of claims for damages
fraudulent, but that the public sentiment
generally existing against corporation
was so great that damages were usually
awarded to persons under the idea that a
corporation should be made to pay when
ever possible. These claims, he stated,
were not only enormous, but tho cost OF
trying the cases was considerable.
He tnttnated, however. that several Of
the claims which were found to be Just
would be settled out Of court
=. While II Y genssaily understood that
passed to the United railways Company, it
Is stated that the Brown Bros OF New
York and their allied interests are In con-
troll Of the property.
