EVIDENCE POINTS TO CASE OF MURDER
Slight Quarrel in saloon Ends In
Attack and Victim Dies After
Lingering some Hours
at the Hospital.

Charles Carlson, who was stabbed Satur-
day evening by Frank Noonan died early
yesterday morning from the effect OF his
wound. AS the case stands now there IS
little doubt that Noonan will have to stand
trial for murder in the first degree.
post norton examination was made yes
terday afternoon to ascertain II possible
the nature of the wound and the absolute
cause of the death. The result Of this
animation eXplodes Noonans theory en-
tirely, which was that the man cut his own
throat. The wound made b.. the
straight stab OF a knife, downward IN di-
rectlon. The wound began at the top of
the mans left ear and just in front of 1t.
The lower edge of the wound was at the
base OF the ear so that the cut on the
surface was only the width Of a knifeblade
But inwardy the wound extended down
ward. just behind the jawbone and into the
neck distance of about four inches The
stab severed the jugular vein and the cerv-
zeal artery, so that although the man lived
all night the gradual flow of blood could
not be stopped and Sunday morning he died.
a second stab in the mans neck pene-
trated to the bone. This In another indi-
cation of murder. This was also u stab, not
a slash as Noonan declared.
Several witnesses to the attack declare
that Carlson had been in Harold's saloon,
at l. street on the Boulevard or at the west
end of the l. street vaduct, and Noonan
had been there. Some words passed and
Carlson left the place. After he got out
in the street Noonan followed him an dat
tackled him with the knife, with the fatal
results.

suits of the discussion of saturday night
said: 1T can not be claimed that the mi
nority faction have done nothing to brinl
about the good results, that is the agree

events we have succeeded in gaining tn
concession OF the interest on $4,000 Of tn
bond issue for five years, an item of A5c
dollars. That much was gained whic
might not have been gained without tn
fighting minority. I for one am not gon
to be foolish I'm the matter, though, wit
the minority in the desire for genera
election, I am for the bonds in any event.
When asked point blank IT, In the even
that the mass meeting voted to supper

voting OF bonds. he said: j am for III
bonds. We tried to carry the point Of III
election in the committee. but It is Owe
