SACRAMENTO, Cal, June s.
That pretty Julia DUNCAN, one of
the four victims of the automobile
accident at knights Landing, died
of shock in the one moment the
automobile was poised over the
rushing river last night, was the
prevalent opinion today among
those who helped recover the
body.
She was found seated upright
in the car, her features distorted
by an awful fear.
This morning, though men had
been working desperately all
night, no other body had been re-
covered.
Editor Nixon, of the Woodland
Mail, whose wife and three rela-
tives, Miss Merle DUNCAN, Miss
Julia DUNCAN and Mrs. ]. H. Dun
gan, were the victims, labored
frenziedly all might long with the
divers and those who were drag
ging the river in the futile search.
This morning he was forced to re-
turn home utterly Frustrated. He
is under the care of doctor.
No blame at all is placed on
Joseph Armstrong, the mail-car-
rier, who acted as chauffeur for
the Inflated party. The blame
falls upon the automobile. The
brakes we're found jammed and
the reverse on, but the machine
had failed to respond.
Armstrong twice during the
night tried to commit suicide.

returned presently, and Fanchette
|gave vent to a groan.
Jules said he had been sent in

must go to monsieur with him.
|Otherwise-he threatened to call
the police. And II was afraid
to risk a scandal. I let him seat
himself in the car, and drove him
where he would.
He limited at hush money. He
would take 10000 francs"-Fan-
Ghetto held up her hands in mute
stricken protest-"and swear that
he had not seen me. I told him
that I had only 5000 In my pos

to accept that sum. We went back
