OF MRS. JEAN QUILICI

Sunday afternoon, shortly after Mrs.
Ouilici passed away at the county hos
pital. Judge Dunn empanelled coro-
ner's Jury, composed of Jerome Otis,
Sam r. Guthrie, C. w. McDeid John
Westrope, w. G. Dueker, James Richie
and w. f. Paul After they had been
sworn in, the members of the jury pro-
ceeded to the county hospital, where
they viewed the remains of the muir
dered woman. Yesterday morning the
taking of testimony was begun, and
the following witnesses were examin-
ed: DR.. P. J Mangan, DIR. E. d. Giroux'
N. X, Uric, Constable j. G. Rich, Pete
Martini, A. Franeeschi, John w. Rob
inson, William f. Kelly, G. GULL and
Alesandro Lommori. The latter is
broher of the murdered woman, and
being unable to understand English,
his testimony was given through
Adolph Crotte, an interpreter.
The interest of the large crowd OF
spectators in attendance centered in
the testimony of n. X. Uric, who the
night before had made a complete con-
fession, giving in detail the circum-
stances of the cold -blooded murder, to
Sheriff Lamb and District Attorney
Cafsahan. He told his story in
matter of fact way, showing neither
emotion nor remorse, although at
times he looked about in nervous
manner. Shorn of his miserable at
tempts to shield himself and fix the
entire responsibility on the shoulders
of J. +. Tramner, his confederate, the
story told by the witness, upon the
examination of District Attorney Cal
lahan, was substantially as follows:
"After supper Friday evening Tram
ner fixed up the masks and we got on
the horses and started to town. L took
the guns. We tied the horses about
200 yards from the saloon and he told
me to get off and then threw the masks
and things down by brush. TRAINER
then took a rope and tied my hands TO
the saddle horn and he then went to
a saloon and brought back bottle OF
whisky, saying, Throw this into you
and maybe you will feel better Then
he loaded the rifle and handed 1T to
me and instructed me to throw it down
On Quilici when we got inside the sa'
loon. He made me go ahead and when
we reached the door / said Let's not
do it. But he showed his gun against
my back and said, Go on. When we
entered the saloon Quihci was sitting
az one of the tables talking with his
wife. When I came in the front door
I walked up to about eight feet from
Quilici and threw the gun down on him
and TRAINER said: Throw up your
hands He sat looking at me nom
ent and then grabbed the gun and tried
to wrench it from me and forced me
up against the bar, and then TRAINER
shot him. Quilici then started to run
md INro or
rral ed the rifle from me and shot the
see nd time, Quiliei falling through
The swinging doors at the back. Then
Trarner handed therifle back to me
and nulled his revolver from the scab
Z bard and fred at Mrs. Quilici, who was
screnming as she ran for the back door
Then Tramner commanded me to lay
nv gun on the bar and 90 through the
til, which | did. The money | took
from the till appeared to be all small
change, quarters, dimes and nlkeis.'
At this point Uric identified the
money found in their camp as that
which was taken from the till in
Outlets saloon.
"After taking the money from the
made hasty search. One OF the
rooms was locked and ! could no tget
into II. l ala not nDu any mocy III "n!
&, of the other rooms. When l went into
the room where the tw boys were
made the larger one throw up his hands
and I searched the room. Then ] made
the larger boy go with me back into the
barroom and told him to stay there and
! left the place. We were in there prob
ably ten or fifteen minutes There was
no one with us as we left the saloon
or while we were inside. If there is a
witness who says that he saw three
men running from the saloon or cross.
ig the track he is is mistaken"

jourment, and was transcribed by Re-
porter Davenport. After listening to a
