shooting case in which Charles a, Ed,
wards of New York met his death at
the home Of Charles a. Hitler, Wednes
day morning, to an end as quickly as
possible, Coroner Alix conducted long
examination in his Office last night, sew
eral witnesses whose names have bern
mentioned III connection With the affair,
giving testimony.
This inquest was continuation Of
the session started late in the afternoon
ia which the only witnesses were Chas.

want III the Hitler house where Mr. Ed
wards was killed. Until the coroner
readers finding, no developments of
great importance are expected, and a.
he said last night previous to his en-
tering his Office for the late inquest, tho
case il at standstill Last nights ses-
sion was i late one, and at It's conclu-
sion the coroner said that there was
nothing to give out. No charge Of any
kind has been made against any per-
son in connection with the shooting.
a. Maxcy Hitler il held BY tho coroner
as witness. He spent the night at his
home in Temple street, closely guarded
BY uniformed policeman and seemed
to be in as cheerful mood as at any
time since the death Of his hrotherin-law
VAS made public lie insists that he
viii be able to establish an abb when
the proper time comes, but declined to
make any statement regarding the case.
His counsel, f. T. Arvine, WHO is doing
the talking for Air. Hitler. SAYS thai
there viii be no writ OF habcas corpus
for the release Of his client, and is sat
isfied that Nh Hitler cpsild have no mo-
tive for killing Mr.. Edwards.
An investigation was made regarding
the report oi missing papers alleged to
have been taken from the clothes OF
the victim Of tie shooting bat nothing
new developed along that line. The re.
ported missing papers are alleged to
consist of dairy compiled by former
servant Of tie Hitler family, and its
value in establishing a motive for the
crime is not known.
Ono Of the interesting developments
OF the day and which at first looked
to be important, was that Nh. Hitler
had turned over two pistols to the
coroner for his inspection, the coroner
later giving them 70 gunsmith. 1t
has since developed that these weapons
were old firearms, which had been a
part Of collection in the Hitler home
stead for many years. The theory that
the fatal shot was fred with one Of
these pistols is secuted by the police.
Although the police have not given up
the hope of finding the weapon which
caused the death OF Mr. Edwards, they
are convinced that it is nowhere about
the Hitler homestead.
