Chicago, Aug. 4.-The trial of
Lee O'Neill Brown, indicted for brib-
cry in connection with the election OF
William Lorimer to the United States
senate, was ordered to proceed today
by Judge Kersten. The court over
ruled the motion for the defense to

of jurisdiction of the Cook county
courts. The work of selecting a

Chicago Aug. 4.--Senator MUIR
ray Crane, of Massachusetts, who
appeared silently in Chicago and
gave out the information that he
had nothing to say regarding his
western mission, is said by the Chi
cago Tribune today to have come
here to investigate the personal and
political status of Senator William
Lorimer of Illinois.
A number of the members of the
Illinois assembly are now under iu-
dictment for bribery in connection
with the election of Lorimer. Lori
mer replied to the charges of brib-
cry before the senate and his cleo
ton is to be investigated by a senate
committee.
The Tribune today says Crane was
sen by President Taft to investigate
the Lorimer case. According to the
Tribune, the report will be unfavor-

sistant District Attorney G. w
Hoyle said today:
I'VE believe that one of the most
dastardly murders in the history Of
Sonoma county has been committed
on the Starbuck ranch. T. A. Ken
dali, his father, Enoch and his mo-
ther, IRA, probably were stabbed to
death, their flesh fed to hogs on the
ranch and their bones burned in the
kitchen stove Every attempt was
made by the murderer or murderers
to conceal the crime, and every et-
fort will be made by the authorities
to uncover it."
81 cannot discuss the leads we
have that probably will result in the
capture of the perpetrators of this
terrible crime" continued Hoyle,
but l will say that we have good
clues, and while one is strongest we
are not overlooking others and TAX.
ing every precaution to run down all
rumors.
"Unquestionably the three Ken
dalls were murdered. Nothing
shows that anyone was responsible
for the deaths of the others and
then fed. The bones, according to
surgeons, are those Of at least three
persons. There was no motive,
either of money, revenge, or even
insanity. to account for a crime on
the part of any member of the Ken
dali family. On the contrary, there
is plenty of motive b yothers for the
death of the Kendalls, but, Of
course, I cannot reveal at present
the identity of persons who would
have sought the death of the Ken
dalls.
THE bones of three persons ver7
easily could have been incinerated
in the stove. The flesh could havt
been fed to the hogs on the ranch.
I am not saying that this actually
was done, but the murderer could
not have burned both flesh and
bones in the stove.
"The attempt to destroy the bones
shows that the murderer subjected
them to the fiercest heat. The fTag-
ments are very small and calcined
by the hot fire.
"The murders were done outside
the house. We have reason to be-
lieve that one Of the Kendalls was
struck with a heavy stone and that
two and possibly all three were
stabbed. The theory is that the
Kendall was struck down
from behind, while his feeble father
and mother were butchered after
ward"
The all-night vigil of Sheriff
Smith and a deputy at the ranch
house was not rewarded. The clew
that the murder was committed by
a Japanese resulted today in gen.
eral alarm to the officials of the bay
to seek out a certain Jap.

by neighbors of the Kendalls. Last
night additional bones were found
and these will be brought to Santa
Rosa this afternoon to join the grew

APANESE
SUSPECTED
OF MURDER
PORTIONS OF HUMAN
REMAINS FOUND AT KENDALL
RANCH LEAD TO BELIEF THAT
WHOLE FAMILY WAS MUIR
DERED, FED TO HOGS AND
BURNED BY THE ORIENTALS.

Cazadero, Calf, Aug. 4.-The
disappearance of r. A. Kendall and
his mother and father from their
ranch near here, followed by the
finding of the charred portions Of
human bones, resulted today in or
ders for general round up of jap
anese in Sonoma county, Suspicion
was directed toward the Japanese
last night when it became known
that Henry Yamagati, ranch hand,
had been seen at the Kendall home
following the disappearance of the
Kendalls and that later he had van
ished.
While Assistant District Attorney
G. w. Hoyle and Sheriff John Smith
believe that a triple murder has
been committed, they are bending
their efforts today in attempting 70
find Kendall and his parents, Enocn
and Ura. In addition to portions of
charred bone, which DR.. j. w. Jesse
declares once belonged to a human
body, the Sonoma officials found
burned and fragmentary pieces of
clothing, bits of jewelry and human
teeth in a mound of ashes near the
Kendall home. A woman's specta-
cles and hair comb were found IN
the CRATE of the kitchen stove.
The Kendals were last seen alive
July 23 by neighbors. Since then
none but the Japanese was seen near
the place until Tuesday last, when
a second Japanese was found by Mr..
and Mrs. Johnson and a boy who
are summering at Cazadero. The
Johnsons had visited the Kendall
farm house out of idle curiosity.
They found the place deserted but
hiding under a cot was a Japanese,
who skulked away after telling them
that he was joking. On leaving, the
Japanese picked up a hunting knife
from a table. The officers belieYa
that the murders, if committed, were
lone with that weapon.
Attention of She authorities was
to the unusual conditions ct
the Kendall farm house by neigh.
bors who found the horses and 9th
er livestock In the barn and pens
starving. The sheriffs and his depu-
ties searched the place thoroughly
but not until they came upon the
pile of ashes and aebris in the yard
and discovered the bones and relics
did they get the first intimation that
had been done.
The heap of ashes disclosed cloth
ing, portions Of human ribs, skulls
and smaller bones. A wedding ring
with "T. A. X" engraved on It was
found in the heap. The bones were
gathered up in a paper and taken 20
Santa Rosa for further examination.
Sheriff Smith and his deputies re-
mained al the ranch house last
night They expressed the convic-
tion that the japanese knew a gree
deal about the deaths of the Ken
dalls and that revenge was the mo-
tive for the crime.
