tween the Amalgamated miners and
those employed by T. Augustus Heinze,

coroner's jury had listened to six ses-
sions at each of which vOluminous tes-
umOny was introduced
The feature of today's session was the
testimony Of John Byrne. state Mining
inspector. who on the witness stand
stated that he believed that Olsen and
Divel were killed by blast which they
had set themselves. and that the min

TALK 0E LYaCHlNG
is NOW DYING OUT

The day passed off quietly around
police headquarters yesterday. From
the strenuous movements of the street
car men on Thursday night it was
feared by the officers that there might
be another attempt made yesterday to
capture Shockley. Out at the peniten-
tiary n reserve force Of men was held
in readiness during the day TO be on
hand IN case Of any attempted violence.
The keys TO the inside of the prison
were placed safely out of reach of any
outsiders. and only the two guards in
the cell houses and the warden knew
Of their whereabouts.
Although there is still considerable
talk of lynching Shockley should ne
prove to be the man that murdered
Brighton and Gleason, yet it is hardly
probable that any such steps viii be
taken The street car employees are con-
siderably worked up over the killing,
but the more conservative element
among them favor allowing the law to
take its course. There is still doubt in
the minds OF many that Shockley is
the guilty party, and there is too much
danger Of shedding the blood Of an in
nocent man. IT, however. it should be
proven cCnclusively that the man ar
rested is guilty as charged, he may
never live TO face the executfoners.
1t developed yesterday that when
Shocldey was taken from the city Jail
To the peniteniary he was led through
the entire crowd on the outside, instead
OF being spirited away through the
rear. as at FIRST reported. Wearing
pobceman's helmet and a long blue
overcoat with brass buttons and carry
ing club the prisoner marched out
OF the front door OF the station and
through the mob. He was accompanied
BY FIVE other policemen. and the men
walked IN regular marching order.
Although Shockley passed through
lhe center Of the crowd of street car
men assembled TO lynch him. he was
NOT recognized, and made his way safe
