Feminine Counterpart of Samson

The feminine counterpart of Samson is Just now causing no end of trouble to the Anniston city hall officials. This Is Susie Cunningham, negress, who Wednesday was fined heavily for run- ming away from the jail with a 100- pound weight dangling to her ankles and breaking the Jock which held the chains to her limbs. Later she was chained to the wall in manner that the warden thought absolutely secure. but he was surprised later to find her walking around in her cell trying to ef- feet escape again at the same place where she had torn a big hole in the wall the day before. There seems to be no limit to the woman's strength, and the officers are at loss as to how to hold her.

EVERY MEMBER OF
 FAMILY MURDERED
Japanese Boy Is Suspected of
 The Triple Crime
BODIES GUT TO PIECES
Discovery of the Murder Does Not De- cur Until Nearly Week After the Deed Is Done and All
 CIews Are Vague

Santa Rosa, Cal, August IA gen. eral alarm was sent out today for the apprehension of a Japanese boy. Henry Yamagachi. in the hope of ob- taining key to the gruesome triple murder enacted on a lonely ranch. The crime was revealed yesterday when county tpfficers, Investigating the dis appearance of a family of three, dis covered the charred bones of Enoch Kendall, Mrs. Ura Kendall, his wife. and Thomas Kendall, their son. in the yard of their canyon home, north of Santa Rosa.
 The finger of suspicion. according to the sheriff, is directed toward the missing Japanese Yamagachi occupied a cabin on the ranch and had a violent quarrel with Thomas Kendall, manager of the Starbuok ranch. Young Ken dall is said to have beaten and shot at the boy. Nursing his grievance against Kendall, Yamagachi is said to have acted like one demented.
 The ranch on which the Kendall fam fly was slain Is owned by Mrs. Mar garet Starbuck, wife of an Oakland architect. On Monday, July 25, Yama- gachi called at the Starbuck home in Oakland. and told Mrs. Starbuck he had had fight with the elder Kendall and his son. On the same day a guest of the summer resorts of Crospers, near. the ranch, accompanied by two boys, visited a cabin on the Starbuck ranch and entering by window, cane on. Yarnagachi crawling from under a couch with an open knife in his hand. The Japanese immediately left the cabin but was seen again on the ranch the naxf day

Missing for n Week

Neighbors noticed that nothing had been seen of the Kendalls for more than week and called the attention of the sheriff to the case. Yesterday Sheriff J. F. Smith, accompanied by two court officers, visited the place. On the dining room table dishes had been set for a meal but the food had not been touched. In the stable the family horse was tied in his stall, perishing of thirst and hunger. Pigs were starving in pen.
 No light was shed on the mystery until the kitchen stove was opened. In the ashes of tile grate fragments of bones were found. It was seen that light trail of cinders led from the stove through the door to the yard. Following this trail to a point some distance from the house, the searchers came to an ash pile which contained a large number of human bones and several blackened pieces of jewelry, among which was plain gold we'd ding ring that bore the initials TT. A. K"-those of the younger Kendall. Later another ash pile was discovered that concealed pieces of human skulls pair of gold spectac1es and many charred bones.
 Lying on the grass near by was a breastpin that had miniature of Thomas Kendall and which was identi- fled by neighbors as having been con- stantly worn by Mrs. Kendall.

Bloody Stone Found

Bloody stone round
 A search for the instrument with which the murders had been committed brought to light heavy stone covered with blood which lay In an adjoining garden under a fence. It is the belief of the committed with knives or guns and that the stone was subsequently, used to dis patch the dying victims.
 Enoch Kendall was 50 years old, his wife 55 and their son Thomas about S1. About IS months ago they took possess sion of the Starbuck ranch.
 Frequent quarrels between the Ken dalls and the owners of the land are known to have occurred.
 Regarding the missing Japanese, Mrs. Starbuck has made a long statement to District Attorney Lee. She says Yama- gachi told her that Kendall's bullet struck a metal mirror in his pocket and was deflected He didn't express de- sire to get even. He threatened to kill himself, however. and acted so strange Iy that she called up the chief of police and asked him to look after the boy. When she returned the Japanese had gone.
 The mutilated body of a woman with the head and legs missing Jas found late today in a canyon near the Kendall ranch.
 The torso has not been positively iden- tified. It is the general belief here that it Is of Mrs. Ura Kendall, who has been missing with her husband and son since July 23.
 Charles Denove, Japanese friend of Henry Yamagachi, who is suspected oi the crime, was arrested at Mesa Granoe this afternoon. He told the officers he had Yamagachi locked in house al Mesa Grande last Sunday night after meeting the Kendalls.
