INQUIRY MAY DISCLOSE
MURDER IN BLOM CASE
Coroner Finds Strange Facts
Connected with Death of
Captain in Tacoma

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 12.-With the
police still maintaining that Capt. T.
D. Blom committed suicide and con-
tinuing to throw mystery about their
evidence, a jury OF six men today be-
gan an inquest into the unusual case.
Captain Blom died late Saturday aft
ernoon and a post mortem examina-
tion made yesterday brought forth the
fact that the cash on the dead man S
throat had been produced by razor,
in cut from right to left. Captain
Blom was right-handed and would have
had to hold the razor in a back-handed
manner to have inflicted the wound.
Coroner Shaver believed up to the
time of the inquest today that Captain
Blom had committed suicide.
ut seems to me that his relatives or
friends would have been more energetic
in demanding an investigation if they
really believed he was murdered" said
the coroner.
There was no trace of laudanum in
the stomach. A new turn to the case
was given today when the testimony
developed that a mans screams were
heard by persons living in two houses
within a block of the scene of the
supposed crime at an hour after the
street cars had stopped running for the
night

At the same time the red army con-

feature of the tactics was the en-

army is equipped.
Gen. Picquart, trained in infantry
evolutions, scattered his cannon in

Gen. Michel has strictly forbidden

of the machines is restricted to a test
