surroundings Of the terrible crime, but
were reticent in discussing it, Evad-
ingly they explained that their object
was TO visit the scene of the crime
and determine TO their own satisfac-
tion the facts of it. They picked ur
small fragments of bones which they
may have examined to determine If
they are human bones or not. But
even if the examination of the frag-
ments they should have prove the part
icles not to be human bones, they can
not disprove the murders. for human
bones have indisputably been found in
the Kendall yard.
NJ wakao and F. H Hirano both
made brief statements TO The Call
correspondent
we merely came here to look over
the Kendall place where this, crime has
been committed said Wakao. II know
Yamaguchi very well and 1 am sure
that he did not commit. any murder. He
IS too nice a character TO have done
anything like that I do not know
where he is now, but I am certain he is
not murderer. have no opinion as
TO who might haveskilIed the Kendalls
All the members ofithis party are news
papermen- None of us came from the
japanese consul. never heard that
some japanese wanted to establish a
Shinto temple here. LIDO not think that
is so, but it may be-
Keep Close Together
Hirano was no more communicative
than his companion. He said he did not
know Yamaguchi. but had also hearo
that he was a nice character" The
japanese did not stay at the mountain
ranch long They returned to Cazadero,
and while they would not admit that
they felt any trepidation while in the
vicinity of their countryman's alleged
crime, they kept close together and
were glad TO avail themselves of the
safe conduct guaranteed by a deputy
sheriff
Supervisor William King. who has d
large ranch near the Kendall place,
visited the house today and manifested
a great interest in the crime. He and
but their search was unavailing.
The board of supervisors would
quickly offer a reward for the arrest
and conviction of Yama guchi. or who
ever committed this crime" said Su-
pervisor King this afternoon. but
funds are not available for that pur-
pose. We have applied 10 the governor
TO have the state offer a reward, and
we believe that will be done at once"
Praises KendaIIS
Supervisor King knew the Kendall
family well and spoke in the highest
terms Of Tom Kendall
The searchers on the mountains
started early this morning In the
party were Deputy Sheriff w w Stew
enson, Newton J. Grider, Arthur Tros-
per, Charles Severance and others
They first went TO the isolated cabin
where Yamaguchi was seen about the
time the crime was committed Moth
ing that would throw a new light or
the case was found there Then the
party spread out and went down the
perpendicular mountain side, through
the heavy manzanita thickets. under the
splendid oaks which are crowned with
glistening velvet mfstletoe and about
the several groves of tall redwoods
over the SearcherS circled ominous buz-
yards. and the trained eyes of the noun
1aineers tried TO locate the focal points
OF the birds spirals, but no human re-
mains were found. On a stony bluff
overlooking the quiet Kendall ranch
home is a formation which carries the
grotesque semblance TO a lions head
with wide open jaws. The searchers
are almost ready to believe that what
remains of the three Kendalls. Enoch.
IRA and Thomas, were not burned by
their assassin but became food for the
great stone lion.
