HIRsCHBERG BURIED.
Mystery of st. Louis Tragedy no Cleared

Mystery of St. Louis Tragedy not
 Cleared.
 St. Louis. Dec. 10.-The funeral of Francis D. Hirschberg, intimate friend of Archbishop GIennen, was from St. Francis Xaxier's CathoIist Church to- day while the coroners inquest was resunning its inquiry in order to decide whether the death was accidental or suicide.
 The full rites of the Roman Catholic church were used at the services and burial was in Calvary cemetery.
 Interest In the inquest today center. ed in the possibility that James Frost. brother in law of the dead man, might be called to testify regarding the re- volyer found in the Hirsehberg home. MT. Frost arrived in this city last night from Bardstown, Ky, and soon after his arrival told a reporter that the pistol was one which Mir. Hirseh- berg had purchased IS years ago dur ing the streetcar strike of that period.
 While his statement practically for- cea the abandonment of the theory that MT. Hirschberg was Killed by a burg lar. it has not shaken the belief of his relatives that the death was an acci- dent. They point out that the revol- yer was the exact type formerly used by the police but abandoned by them as too dangerous as several patrol. men had been shot accidentally.

Terrible Resuit of Pitched Battle ini kansas City-Mrs. Pratt Wishes She Had Remained . Bap-
 tfsf.

Kansas City. Dec. 1o.--Louis Pratt, one of the leaders of the band of fa- natics that fought bloody battle in front of the city hall here Tuesday with a squad of police officers, died at the hospital today of his wounds.
 One hour later Patrolman Mullane died. making the total number of four deaths
 Sergeant Patrick Clark and A. J. Selson, who also were seriously wounded, were slightly improved to- day.
 James Sharp, the leader of the on- slaught against the police, has not yet been captured.
 Mrs. Pratt. who, with her four chill dren. is being held at police head quarters, now states she knows Sharp was a. false prophet and wishes she had remained in the good old Bap. tist church."
 Policeman Mullane suffered himself to be mortally wounded because ne would not shoot a woman. According to witnesses he lodged behind q wagon when Mrs. Sharp attacked him with a revolver and though she continued fir ing. he made no resistance.
 It developed today that both Pratt and James sharp. who Is still at large assumed the title of Adam God" when preaching in separate localities, but sharp, as founder of the sect, held the prior claim to the title. Pratt pro- fessed to have the same Divine fire. but in q lesser degree.

TRIAL or CooPERs.

Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 10--D. B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharpe will. unless a continuance be asked and granted. be placed on trial January 20 charged with the murder of Senator Carmack.
 Lengthy arguments were made this morning in the criminal court and after deiiberation Judge Hart announced the above date as the time in his opinion which would come nearer removing all obstacles te the trial of the case and best meet all the interests to be con- sidered.
 Two arguments were made for tho State, General McCarn opening and closing. and three were made by the de- fensa, General ". II. Washington, James K. Bradford and M. H. Meeks participating. Each of the latter made arguments why the case should not be set in January, but suggested no other time for setting the case.
 They argued that the Supreme Court would be In session then, the circuit in May and 1t seemed that they wanted the case set for near the close of the term.
 On the other hand, General McCarn urged that any date but January tS suggested by him would not result in a certain trial of the case. He insisted that by putting it first no other case would crowd 1t out. He pointed out that other courts would be in the way no matter when 1t was set and insisted that the case should not be put od to a later date than January 12
