fled as James Flynn of Washington, a
federal pensioner. He had been in the

get. A woman for whom he worked SAID
tattooed on his arm was his right name
and that he had run away from his home
when a boy and enlisted in the army
under the name Of James Flynn, and
under this name pension was granted
him. The woman identified his cap and
shirt as those she had given him. and
also identified the marks on the mans
arm He was last seen alive Sunday
morning. The detectives have a de-
scription of the man with whom he was
last seen, and the arrest Of the slayer
is impending.
Maj. Sylvester received message this
afternoon from Louis Werner. chief OF
police of Richmond, telling of the killing
OF Flynn. His message gave the informa.
ton that the name u. b. Burns was or
the arm of the dead man. He also stated
that two daughters of the deceased live in
this city, and asked that they be found
and told of the death of their father
Chief Werner wanted to be advised what
disposition should be made of the re-
mains.
Inspector Boardman had the police OF
the sixth precinct make an effort this
afternoon to locate the daughters OF
Flynn. They ascertained that Flynn had
kept his pension papers at an agency al
col 4th street northwest but the agent
did not know his house address. 1t was
stated at the pension agency that there
are a number of pensioners named James
Flynn, and the agent had no way of de-
termining just which one of them was
killed.

for the San Pedro road. between Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles, was called,
and confessed to having asked assist
ance in routing freight of Mr.. Herring,
who represents the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads.
Attorney Severance asked BOgert if he
did not try to have Mr.. Herring forget
that he was an agent for the Southern
Pacific, and as agent for the Union Pacific
give freight to the San Pedro line. The
| witness admitted this and added that
Mr.. Herring "acts quite neutral Bogert

shippers. He said Herring does not try to
get business from him.
No Competition.

lines asked for business, but it apparently
made little difference to them over which

Miners Transportation Company said he
| was with the Union Pacific prior to 1901
| and that there was strong competition
| between the Unien and Southern Pacific
