ments Scribner made to him with re-
gard to the shooting.
With the taking of the testimony of
these witnesses the inquest was con-
tinued until today.
A post morten examination of the
body of William Head was held yester-
day afternoon. 1t was found that the
shot that killed Head severed the
trachea, the jugular vein, passed
through the flesh Of the neck and
bored hole into the cervical verte-
brae, two of which were crushed and
shattered by the heavy charge. Sew
eral shot were picked out of their
lodgment in the bone. A gun wad was
found Embedded in the wound to a
depth of several inches. This is
taken to indicate that Scribner stood
much nearer to Head than he has
stated, as at distance of seventy feet
a wad would hardly be driven through
the air with force enough to enter
the wound
Scribner was brought down to the
examination yesterday afternoon to
be identified by the witnesses as the
same person who made the threats
against Head. He seemed composed
enough and not particularly fretted
over his situation.
States Attorney Register said last
night that he would move the case
against Scrbner at this term of court.
Otherwise, the prisoner would have to
remain in the county Jail until the
spring term of court in May At the
present time, court being in session
and all the witnesses in the case here,
the case can be as we'll disposed Of
This afternoon Albert Scribner made
his statement to the coroner's Jury.
This was in effect that he had killed
Head, but he denied any intention. of
murder, stating that he did not know
the gun was loaded, and that it went
off while he was unaware He said he
did not aim the gun at Head, although
he admitted that he had told Head a
little while before that if he did not
pay him he would kill him. This
closed the testimony in the case.
The jury this Afternoon returned a
verdict that Head came to his death
feloniously at the hands of Albert

IN THE HEAD CASE

Coroner's Jury Takes Testimony in
the Head Murder Case-Case of
Scribner Who Killed Head Will
Probably be Moved for Trial at This
Term.
Evidence taken before the coroner's
jury in the William Head case last
evening established three separate
threats to as many persons made by
Albert Scribner that if Head did not
pay him the money he owed him, he
(Scribner) would kill him. On one
occasion Scribner went so far as to
tell a man with whom he was talking
that IF he found dead Niger around
he would know who did it," These
threats and the circumstances in the
case lead the officials to look with a
good deal of doubt upon Scribner's
statement that he was only bluffiing
with the gun and did not intend to kill
Head. The witnesses who were ex-
amined before the coroner last night
were B. F. Scovil, F. W. Korn and N.
F. Reynolds, all of whom i've in the
vicinity of Heads place. Scovil and
Korn live at Mckenzie and Reynolds
is a ranchman living not far from
Heads place. Mr.. Scovil testified last
night that Scribner, whom he identi-
fed when Sheriff Welch brought him
before Acting Coroner Gilbert, came
into his store the day before the shoot
ing and inquired what kind of a man
Head was in paying his bills. On
learning that his reputation as pay
master was bad Scribner said that he
owed him money and that if he didn't
pay it he (Scribner) would fix him.
On the following day Scribner came
into Scovil's store between two and
three o'clock in the afternoon and in
Quired if there was an official in the
place stating that he wanted to be ar
rested as he had fixed Head"
F. w. Korn also testified that
Scrlbner was in his store day or two
before the killing. Head came in
there and he and Scribner had con-
versation. Head wanted Scribner to
go back to his place and Scribner re-
fused. After Head had gone out
Scribner walked the floor and said if
Head did not pay him he would kill
him. After the shooting, Scribner con-
fessed to Korn that he had killed Head
and on inquiry stated that he had
killed him with a shotgun and that he
had aimed it at Heads head.
N F. Reynolds, ranchman met
Scribner while out herding sheep. He
(Scribner)) said he had been in town
looking up Heads reputation for pay
Ing what he owed, and told Reynolds
that Il Head did not pay him he would
kill him. AS he went he added that
sc you ind a dead niger around here
you will know who did it, 5:s-
