JAPANESE IS ACCUSED
AT SANTA ROSA INQUEST
Jury Finds That KendaIIS Were
Slain by Oriental on Ranch

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Aug. 26-With
Mrs. Henry Starbuck as the chief wit
ness, the inquest over the remains of
the murdered Kendall family was be-
gun today The new jury is made UP
of r. L. Johnson, l.. w. Burris, Alfred
Shea, S. c. Newman, w. H. Summers,
F. T. Bane. j. w. Ramade and w. c.
Watson.
Mrs. Starbuck was accompanied by
her husband and Attorney Brunt. She
was composed and collected on the
stand as she told of the visit to her
house of Yamaguichi with his tale of
the fight with the Kendalls. She told
of the Japanese having come to her
house the night after the murder is
supposed to have been committed, and
of his hysterical assertion that he had
done up" the family after he had
been attacked by Thomas Kendall and
his mother. In all essential details
her story agreed with the statement
which she had made to District At
torney Lea soon after the discovery of
the murder w. A. Cockrell, who, in
company with his father, had dis
covered the absence of the Kendall
family from the ranch, told of the
appearance of the deserted ranch.
F. D. Trosper, justice of the peace
and proprietor of a summer resort near
the Kendall ranch, told of the search
that had been madG~ and of the dis
covery of the pile of bones and the
ring bearing the initials "T. A. K"
He said that in company with two
young women he had met Thomas
Kendall and the latter had exhibited
the ring worn by Mrs. Kendall.
r. r. Collins, boy employed on the
Kendall ranch, testified to having seen
Yamaguichi about the place near the
time the murders are believed to have
been committed.
Sheriff j. NJ. Smith related in detail
the result of his investigation into the
tragedy, and j. M. Thompson, an at
torney, explained conditions at the
ranch as he found them during his
visits there.
The jury then retired, and soon re-
turned a verdict finding that Enoch,
Thomas and IRA Kendall came to
their deaths at the hands of Henry
Yamaguichi presumably from the
effects of gunshot wounds.

DARING THIEF JUMPS
% FEET AND ESCAPES
Burglar FiIChes SIeeper's Gar
mentS from Beneath Pillow
and Leaps from Roof

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 26.-Dur-
ing the small hours of the morning a
daring burglar entered the Oakland
apartment house on d street. Despite
the fact that in one occupied room the
electric lights were burning the thief
entered the room, turned out the lights,
and bending over the occupant, a man,
he filched the sleeper's garments from
beneath the pillow. The act awoke
the roomer, who was scared stiff at
finding a thief SO near. Keep your
mouth shut or I'll brain you," hissed
the intruder, but he did not linger to
complete his search for valuables.
Speeding from the room he was fol-
lowed by the scared occupant, who no
titled the proprietor. A police call was
sounded. The thief was detected
skulking in a dark corner of the cor
ridor but did not tarry there. Jumping
from a window he lighted on the roof
of an adjoining building. Rushing to
the edge of the roof he leaped 25 feet
to the ground. He alighted before an
open door of room where woman
was attending beside a sickbed His
sudden appearance as from the clouds
threw the nurse into Mysteries, her
screams giving speed to the thief's
flight. He escaped. The sick person
may die as a result of the intense eX-
Citement
