FRESNO, Jan. 2S.-James L. Cronk-
hite, policeman, shot and instantly
killed an unidentified bandit shortly
before 3 o'clock this morning. That
the bandit was killed instead of Cronk-
hite was due to the fact that a bullet
from the formers revolver struck
Cronkhite's star and was stopped in
its deadly course. The bandit fired
first, but in less than a second he had
a bullet through his heart and one
through his head.
The bandit was sneaking into dark
alley at the rear Of the Union National
bank and a jewelry store when he was
accosted by Cronkhite.
On being told to come out, the BAN
dit stepped into the light and fired.
The bullet landed on Cronkhite's star.

hite. partially stunned by the force Of
the bullet. believed that he had been
shot. but an examination showed that

hour before the shooting he robbed a
pool hall OF $4.9S and had used some
OF the money to eat. All efforts to es-
tablish his identity were futile. al
though he was recognized by men as
having been in Fresno several days.

of the murder of ]. !. Moore.
and if the evidence against Tim

brought To- trial If. however,
the evidence does not shop his
probable guilt | mill not permit
the foisting of a long and ex-

fciallv / can not express amp
opinion and mill consider only
the merits Of the affair.
l can moi SAP whethcr The
grand jury mill return an mdict-
ment against Timothy. but if it
does and the evidence against
him does not pdnant a trial /
mill ash the dismissal of the in

The fact of Moore's death
has made the case one of plain
