THEORY Is EXPLODED.
Another clew that the police hoped
might help them materially in proving
! the identity of the murdeFers was
! abandoned last night when X Ishihara
| or l52b Geary street called upon Chief
Dinan and declared that the bloody fin
| ger prints on the newspaper wrapped
around the iron bludgeon used by them
were made by him.
Printed copies of the proclamation
! issued by the Japanese Society con-
corning the murder of Murakata were
distributed by the thousands among the
! japanese of San Francisco yesterday
! and resulted in scores of amateur
| sleuths interesting themselves In the
work of running down the criminals.
| One of these sleuths called upon Kani-
| chi Yukawa, president of the Japanese
| Society last night and told him he had
| information that was not known 10 the
San Francisco police. His story was
briefly that the finger prints on the
| bludgeon We're made by Japanese and
that hesknew the identity OF the man.
He offered to bring him to Yukawa.
and did so within the course of half
| hour.
MADE BLOODY FINGER PRINTS.
Ishihara told yukawa that he would
have called on him earlier had he
known his story was of any value to
the.police. He said that he was taken
to the bank by Yazo Kitazima. an Ala
/ media Japanese who discovered the
crime when he called at the Kimmon
Ginko to cash a check. The sight or
the two dying Japanese lying on the
| moor so unnerVed hlIazlInd That ne oil
| from the bank for assistance. Ishihara
was the first japanese ne met and he
asked him to go with him to the bank
/ at once.
Ishihara did so, and after lifting
Murakata to a chair raised glass of
water to his lips and tried to force him
/ to drink. In doing this his hands
| became smeared with blood, and when
! he subsequently picked up and ex-
amined the gaspipe used by the as
sailant on the banker the red finger
marks became imprinted on the paper
| In which it was wrapped.
Yukawa took Ishihara to Japanese
! Consul Uyeno, where his statement
was repeated in a formal deposition.
Ishihara was then advised to call at
| police headquarters and make known
| the facts In his possession to Chief
Dinan. The Chen Ssselcomed the infor-
nation, inasmucheas II put an end to
| the following OF a blind clew. but he
was visibly disappointed at being de-
| prived of what he had been counting
upon as a certain means of Identifying
| the murderer.
