ON SALTER'S Death

clear to the court that the woman
who had complained against them
had negotiated with Crasswait for
the job she said was promised,
and therefore Burchard could not
be held. Crosswait claimed he
had made a mistake in writing out
the address for the woman and
sent her to 902 South First street
when he had intended to send her
to 902 South I street.
Today another woman who says
she paid for position at the Fan

HORSES MIGHT HAVE STEP
PED ON BODY AS HE LAY IN
STREET - FRIENDS STILL
CONVINCED THAT HE WAS
MURDERED.

(By United Press Leased Wire
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10
New light has been thrown on
the mysterious death of William
Salter of Tacoma, the aged Civil
war veteran, whose crushed body
was found in the street near his
apartments early Sunday morn
ing.
The detectives who have been
working on the case announced
today that Samuel White, gar
bage wagon driver, who found
Salter's body, had admitted the
possibility that his horses might
have stepped on the aged man as
he lay ON the pavement, caus-
ing the terrible wounds that have
baffled the police for two days.
White stated that he drove in
to the street where the body was
found shortly after midnight.
His horses, he said, stopped sud
denly and refused to go farther.
On investigation, he found Sal
ter's body lying almost at their
feet. The police have suggest
ed that Salter might have been
under the influence of liquor and
might have fallen into the street,
where he was trampled by
Whites horses.
All efforts to find the white
haired man who was in Salter's
room the night OF the tragedy
have proved fruitless. Friends of
the old soldier still affirm their
conviction that he was the victim
of murderous assault. and the
police are continuing their inves-
legations today.
