[SpeeiGl Dispatch TO The Call

@AZADERO, Aug. 4-Enoch Ken
dali and his wife. Una, were killed
at the Kendall ranch and their
bodies were cremated partly in the
kitchen stove and partly in the yard
of the house, but where Thomas A.
Kendall, the son and business member
/ of the family, was killed is the domi-
nant mystery of the terrible tragedy
at the base of Red mountain. Indis-
putable proof was discovered today
that two members of the family were
slain The greater portion of the
woman's body has been recovered, the
torso being found at noon today about
half mile above the house Frag-
ments of mans body also were found.
and Enoch Kendalls spectacle case
was found in the sinister ash heap
near the house. and Sheriff Jack Smith
believes that the masculine bones
found are those of the father. But as
yet no trace of any effects of Thomas
Kendall has been discovered The
gold ring with the initials "T. A. K.,s
found in the stove, bore the letters
of the sons name, but it was worn
by the young mans mother.
Rounding Up Japanese
| Sheriff Smith has begun to round up
all the Japanese in the vicinity of
Cazadero as witnesses who can tell
something of the movements of the
Japanese, Henry Yamagachi. against
whom the strongest suspicion in the
case now lies. Mrs Margaret Star
bucks warm defense of Yamagaehi
was received bitterly by the friends
of the Kendalls. Mrs. Starbuck is
the owner of the property leased by
the Kendalls in which the terrible
triple murder occurred Since the
Kendalls secured the lease they have
had trouble with Mrs Starbuck.
Mrs Starbuck should not say any
thing on behalf of the Japanese or
against Tom Kendall" said Uncle Ben
Marshall, a patriarch of the COM
munity, expressing the feelings of the
neighbors of the Kendalls. Tom Ken
dali was a good. hard working young
man and did his duty by the place"
Justice of the Peace F. Drake Tros-
per. the nearest neighbor to the Ken
dalIs, scorned Mrs. Starbuck's published
statement that. Thomas Kendall had
stolen blooded stock which was on the
ranch when he took possession
There was no blooded stock in the
first place and Kendall handled the
property well in the second. said Tros-
per.
Net Tightening
The meshes in which Yamagachi is
being entangled were drawn tighter to-
day by the statements of Judge Tros-
per and Edward Bones. who saw the
japanese walking to Cazadero from the
direction of the Kendall place sunday.
July "a. the day on which the Kendalls
were slain.
When saw Yamagachi." said Tros-
per, his face was not bruised and he
showed no marks of having been in
an encounter with any one. He was
fastening toward Cazadero. but was too
late for the afternoon train. 1t was
about o'clock. The black shepherd
dog. which had belonged to Mrs. star
buck and stayed on the Kendall place.
was trotting at his heels.'
Bones, who conducts a road resort
just out of Cazadero. saw a japanese
whom he recognized as one working on
the Starbuck place pass his resort on
the same afternoon. Monday morning
Ben Marshall saw the dog at the Caza-
dero station
That Mrs Kendall had strange pre-
sentiment of the killing of her husband,
her son and herself. was the remark
able statement made today by Mrs. Nc
Bains. wife of rancher living near the
Kendall place.
Dreamed of Murder
| Mrs. Kendall once told me OF a
/ dream she had before she came to
Cazadero.' said Mrs. McBains today.
'-She said that in dream she saw her.
