Cor"ner's Jury Investigates Tragedy In Which I've Women Were
 Killed.

Biytheville, Ark. Ian. 9.---As q result of the eoroner'e investigation into the death Sunday night of Mrs. VI r Carpenter and her mother. Mrs Davis, and the wounding Of Carpenter near here. Ed Giles, Frank Hamilton and Carpenter him self are in jai! under suspicion or connection with the alleged murder of the two women. The coronet's jury adjourned until tomorrow when t will probably render its verdict in the case Great excitement pre- vails here tonight A great mob surges about the iail, threatening to lynch the three men who are held The sheriff with large force Of de- pnties Is on guard at the Jail, ready to protect the prisoners.
 Mir. Carpenter was or the stand all daY undergoing a severe exam'- nation at the hands of the jury. Dur ing his reclal he said he arose about midnight to start fire, for 1t was cold. On retiring again, he said. he dropped off to sleep. but was suddenly aroused by dull thud, as from blow struck with heavy instrument on something soft He declares he started up and was confronted by man who held q large knife in his hand He says that the man was Ed Giles. Car penter declared that after grappling with this man the latter ran. and as lie did another man, who Carpenter says was Frank Hamilton, came from the room in which Mrs. Davis was murdered and followed the first man out of the house and away.
 Carpenter declares that when he went to the room occupied by his wife he found her dead. He then wens to the room of his mother-in law and found her dead. Carpenter exhibits several cuts and bruises on the head and wrists as evidence of  his scuffle with the alleged intrud- CTS.
 The opinion prevailing here is that Carpenter is himself guilty of the crime. The coroner's jury is not expected to render a verdict until Wednesday morning. Carpenter at first declared a gang of six men at- tacfed he and his wife. and mother in-law in their home Sunday night. His story was that Hand squatters' had a grudge against him becan0e of differences as ito ownership.
 Dr. Frank Davis was about the first person to go to the Carpenter home He is of the opinion1 it is ss i'd, that 'he bruises on Carpente' may have, been inflicted many hours before the murder of the women.
 Another. circumstance that offic- CTS declare indicate that Carpenter was not attacked by a small mob 's the fact that three different fire arms were found in handy positions in the house. Neither showed signs of having been used. The authori- ties state that Carpenter had every chance of defending his home against gang of dozen even. They are strong in the opinion that he really committed the murder of his wife and her mother but are at a loss for motive
