KLINE'S WOUND
PROVES FATAL.
GOIdfieId AmaIgam Thief Fails
to Regain Consciousness
Before Demise.
(special to me HeraIdO

Goldfield. New, Nov. S.-V. l.. Kline, the
jewelry man who was shot through the
head while in the act of robbing the mill
of the Nevada Goldfield Reduction com
pany of amalgam Wednesday night, died
at o'clock this morning without regain
ing consciousness. Sheriff ingalls, is
working on the theory that Kline and
Gipple had accomplices and were impli-
Gated in similar crimes, but so far have
not succeeded in learning anything from
Gipple further than related in his story
yesterday.
The officers have telegraphed KIines
brother. who conducts a jewelry store at
Bellingham, Wash, asking him to come
here and open the big safe in Klines
place of business. which it is believed
will be found to contain discriminating ev
idence. 1t is practically certain that Kline
bought the amalgam which was taken
from the Gardner mill by highwaymen
two weeks ago and the sheriff is of the
opinion that he was one of the men who
held up the Waterman and took the stuff
by force.
Klines brother will arrive here Sunday
and thorough search will be made of
Klines store. Cripple will probably be
arraigned tomorrow. Both the officers
and the reduction company discredit his
story that Waterman, Jones was willing
party to the scheme to rob the plant.
