federal Grand Jury on a charge Of
murder, according to a decision hand
ed down yesterday by Court Commits
sioner Krull. Smith is accused of hav-
ing killed K l. Inabi, cabin boy of the

Zealand.
The evidence introduced Friday was
to the effect that Mate Smith was on
deck at the time the cabin boy dis
appeared. There had been i'll telling
between the Japanese and the mate,
and threats had been made by both.

to the galley and received coffee and
toast for the mate on deck. Some
time later Smith went TO the cook and
asked for his coffee He was informed
that the boy had started astern with

Japanese boy to Captain Nielsen. An
investigation was instituted, and while
the captain was forward his wife dis
covered Smith mopping blood stains
from the deck.
