- Yamag guchi, who is accused of
the annihilation of the Kendall family
on their mountain ranch, visited the
scene of the murder today. looked
skeptically at the PARTICLES of human
bones lying about the dooryard and
declared Yamaguchi guiltless-
why do you think Yamaguchi is
innocent of murder?" NJ Wakao, edi-
tor of the Japanese American OF San
Francisco was asked
Because he is a nice character"

Members of Party
The other Japanese in the party
were F. H. Hirano. editor of the Jap
anese New World of San Francisco;
F, Yoshido, secretary of the japanese
association of Santa Rosa, to which
Yamaguchi belonged, and W. X.
Hyama, who came as interpreter M.
Kameda, a local Japanese, accom-
panied the party to the Kendall
! place.
While the Japanese were there the
posse that had been out in the hills
all morning returned to fhe house
with few more CHASTITY relics of the
dead a handful of bones, including a
bit of the skull about the size of the
palm OF mans hand. These frag-
ments of the Kendalls were found in
the canyon about mile from the
house and in the same ravine in which
were found the torso of Mrs. Kendall
! and the upper teeth of Tom Kendall.
| Later these bones were stolen by a
party of autoists who were travelling
in a red touring car. 1t may be that
the fact of the three deaths can only
be established legally by the triplicate
of certain bones. Thegefore the au-
thorities are making vigorous search
! for the miscreants.
The bones taken were BIT of the
skull, a portion of the shoulder blade
and hip bone. The party consisted
of two men and two women and
girl They said they were from Spo-
kane, Wash
A boy was at the place and saw the
people take some OF the bones of the
Kendalls. The bones are considered
indispensable in estimating the num-
Der of individual remains found at the
ranch.
When the theft of the grewsome
relics was discovered. Arthur Trosper
telephoned the fact to Sheriff Smith
and to the county constables, explain
ing the Importance of the CHASTITY loot.
Curious Invade Ranch
The lonely little meadow in which
the Kendall house is located was vis-
tied by many curious folks today.
Nearly every passerby on the road
turned off at the Kendall place and
drove down the steep canyonside to
the peaceful cottage. Coroner and
Public Administrator Frank L. Black
burn had posted notice warning the
| public not TO trespass on the premises.
E. E. Trosper, constable for the town
ship. has been appointed custodian.
4 But the notice did not deter the visitors
from overrunning the yard. gazing at
blackened spots OF earth where the
bodies might or might not have been
burned and picking out of ash heaps
bits of bones and PARTICLES OF clothing,
/ a tin shoe lace eye or an overall button
/ The japanese came over from Santa
Rosa about noon- They drove out to
the place. While there has been about
Cazadero the most intense feeling
against the japanese, the members OF
the sherins posse who were at the
Kendall ranch received Yamas suchfs
countrymen with courtesy and escorted
them to the spots OF morbid interest
