At CORONER'S INQUEST
Officer of State Militia Defends
Shooting of John Eisy
Near Prison

JACKSON, Mich, Sept. 20.-The
coroner's inquest into the death
of John Eisy began this morning in
circuit court room. Coroner Havens
called Captain Blackman to the stand
as the first witness and ordered that
the other witnesses be excluded from
the room. The coroner turned the
witness over to Prosecuting Attorney
Bailey for examination. Mr.. Black
man was advised OF his constitutional
privileges on the witness stand, and
the witness said his testimony would
be given voluntarily as he had moth
ing to cover up. Deputy Attorney
General Lawler and Attorney Thomas
K. Barkworth, Of Jackson, were pres
ent as counsel for the state. The
court room was filed with spectators
and great interest on the part Of the
public was apparent.
Prosecutor Bailey asked Capt.
Blackman II he didn't think Privates
McArdle and Jackson could have cas-
lily taken a step backward and escap-
ed being hit by Eisy with the rifles
without causing bloodshed. The cap
tain said he didn't think they could
have done II. although when he fired
the first shot Eisy had not yet raised
the rifle 10 a striking position. but
was raising II at the time. witness
said he considered he had authority
TO arrest Eisy because he thought
Eisy was violating federal law, pro
hibiting the buying OF government
fire arms. He admitted he was not
acting as United States army off,
Ger In the recent service at the prison
as he was not called out by the pres
ident of the United States, but he
stated that the state troops are part
OF the United States militia. Anoth-
er reason he said he had for arresting
Elsy was his fear he was buying the
guns to help attack the prison and
kill the warden.

some talk Of matching Howard
Morrow and Chester Browne of

holding two smokers at which the
heavyweights will feature in one
and lightweights in another Is
being considered. Frank Purcell
believes that O'Leary is made of

something to learn, however, be-
