for Arrest OF
Suspects.
Coroner Investigates the
Murder Of Prisoner
Cummings.
Evidence at Inquest Tends to Show
That Unfortunate Negro Was In
nOcent of Crime Charged.
Special Dispatch to The Gail.

MOJAVE, March Is - A verdict by.
the coroner's jury holding James
COwen responsible for the alleged
murder Of James Cummings, the negro
prisoner who was put to death by a
mob; the arrest Of c. O'Nen and J..
Clancy this evening and the issuance
of warrants for two others are the de-
veIOpments to-day in the Mojave lynch
ing of Friday.
The coroner's jury examined wit
nesses for four hours to-day Several
witnesses appeared to be very reluct-
ant to TESTIFY and one, William Jones,
a hOstler, acknowledged that he had
received warnings not TO tell what he
knew.
Several witnesses testified that
Cowen went to his lodging house, got
a rife and left, after making a remark
about having some fun with nigger."
The autopsy showed that the course
of the bullet was downward, indicating
that Cummings had been shot while
in kneeling attitude with his hands
raised above his head, the assassin
standing over him when he fired
The warrants issued tonight charge
the accused with the general crime OF
felony. COwan is in the Bakersfield
Jail.
Albert Irwin and Fred Fry, railroad
employees, testified that a boy, appar-
emily a tramp, informed them Friday
that the negro, Cummings, assaulted
him with a pistol and committed a
serious cffense. The negro appeared
minute later and was then putting a
pistol in his pocket An officer was
called, but the boy disappeared.
There is not a scintilla Of evidence
against the negro, who denied the
charge and gave a perfectly straight
account of himself and his actions.
The remains of the murdered man lay
ali day in the anteroom of the Jail.
A heavy cTOwbar used to pry open the
Jail door, a railroad lantern bearing the
stamp of the Southern Pacific Company
and a can of lubricating oil stand by
the side of the corpse.
The officers believe they have a good
case against the suspected lyncherS
and expect to secure their conviction.

LOCKJAW Is CURED BY
USE OF ANTI-TOXIN
When All other Remedies Fail
New York Surgeon Succeeds
With Serum

NJ YORK, March 1S. - Details
were made known to-day of one of the
most delicate operations for lOckjaw
in the annals of surgery. and one which
has been performed rarely. If ever,
before. 1t was an operation that
snatched from the grave eleven-year-
old John McDonOugh. When virtually
every other hope had failed, the boys
life was saved by the injection of anti
toxin into the brain and spinal cavity
AS a result the lad who. six weeks ago
was lying at the pOi-t of death, is to-
day we'll and hearty as ever.
Yo,.-~ McDonOugh was playing on
a lot near his home when he tripped
and fell. striking MS right leg against
the sharp corner G a rock. Dr. Frank
H Clark decided that the boy showed
symptoms of lockjaw. The lad was
borne to an operating table writhing in
agony. The first operation reduced the
number of spasms. The second reduced
their Intensity. The third relieved him
entirely. and to-day the boy DlascA
with his companions.

then took fight.
Our fire greatly damaged the Rus

crippled by a shot through the boilers,
and another was observed to be on fire.
So close were the two fiotillas to each
other that our destroyers, the Asashio,
the Kasumi and the Akatsuki, nearly
touched the enemy's ships and our
crews could even hear the cries of
agony of the wounded men on them.
We sustained some damage and loss
The Akatsuki had a steam pipe broken
and four stokers were killed thereby.
Our loss was seven killed and eight
wounded. Among the latter is Chief
Engineer Minamisawa of the Kasumi.

Japanese bonds have fallen in Lon
