Among the witnesses before the grand
jury today was Harry Lopez. He had
testified at the Coroner's inquest yes
terduy that he had little recollection uf
the identity of the members of the mob
who destroyed his establishment, but
it was stated tonight that he had made
important revelations TO the grand
jury.
1t was thought for time today that
the coroners jury, which has been at
tempting to Xix the responsibility for
the death of Louis Johnson, who was
killed In the Lopez riot, would find its
work vain. Coroner Woodruff discoV-
cred that no autopsy had been made on
the body and the cause of death was
conjectural, one version being that
Johnson fell into the basement and
broke his neck.
In order to clear this doubt, the cor
oner and physician went to Me-
chanicsburg, where the body had been
buried, eNhumed the body and per-
formed an autopsy, which showed that
he had been shot through the throat.
DR.. Frank II. Wheeler presented this
conclusion to the coroner's jury to-
night. He testified that an undertaken
had sewed up the wound and that ii
was impossible to determns whether
the bullet entered from the front or
the back. He gave 1t. as his opinion,
that Johnson was shot In the back be-
cause the wound there was cleaner.
The small towns of the county con-
tinue TO be danger spots.
At Buffalo, a village 10 miles from
here, the following notice has been
posted at the interurban trolley line
station:
WARMING TO NEGROES.
IAN niggers wanted out of town by
Monday, II a. m. sharp" II was signed
by buffalo Sharpshooters."
Complaints also filter in daily from
the mining camps, coming from whites
distrustful of the other in these COM
and Sheriff Werner is puzzled
rs to how to cope with the situation.
Arrests for intimidation would be likely
to become the cause of open ructions,
in his opinion, and he also hesitates TO
send any considera BILE force of deputies
to these points lest similar results fol-
low. Thus far. however, there have
been no occurrences to justify the fears
OF the small town residents
There was n decrease in the number
of refugees at the arsenal tonight. The.
negroes were told that the proper time
TO re-establish themselves in their
homes was while troops are stll here,
and this argument prevailed In many
cases. But none of the blacks went TO
their homes with smiling faces. There
was fear in their hearts and anxiety
marked In their features. III their
homes few lights were shown after
nightfall absolute quiet and darkness
being depended upon to deceive night
prowlers as to the presence of the fam
lilies.
THE oCToRooNs.
Ono of the refugees al the arsenal
was woman whose white skin be-
trayod only faint traces OF negro blood.
