 Vernon Clark, John Isaac. J. C. Reed Dr. John O'Neif, Mont Ander- son and F. <. Wakelin. constituting q ccroner's jury, yesterday afternoon re- turned this verdict, after hearing the testimony of five witnesses and a statement of Coroner C. w. John stone It was the one action neces- sary to bring to decisive point the determination of the authorities to lodge q formal charge against the man now in custody for the murder cf the Arizona Eastern special police man at 12:25 o'clock Sunday morning. That Francisco Garcia, arrested by Policemen Wilkerson and Morrell five hours after Special Policeman Harris died in the yards of the Arizona East ern from the effects of a dastardly blow with q heavy hunting knife, is the man who inflicted the death wound, is now believed by all who have followed the developments of the two days since the tragedy, So con elusive was the evidence introduced yesterday, District Attorney Lyman halted one witness who was upon the point of offering clinching details, satisfied that case sufficiently strong to warrant the subsequent verdict had already been made.
 Francisco Garcia is now d prisoner in the county jail. In d cell entirely removed from the general cage he is being left severly alone in the be- lief that he will soon weaken and re- veal the identity of his associates in the killing of Harris. Even though he chooses to remain silent there is no doubt but that the authorities will be able to place in custody one or both of the two men who were with him when the Mexican trio held up William Connelley and afterwards murdered Harris in endeavoring to make their escape.
 There is now a belief entertained that Garcia and his companions re- ally intended to put Harris out of the way. It was stated yesterday that few minutes before ConneIIey en- countered the men, Harris had order ed the Mexicans from the railroad companY's property. It is said he saw them seated upon q log or railroad tie a short distance south of the spot where the killing took place and had warned them that they were trespass- ing They started north along First street and Harris proceeded west along the tracks. He could not have had opportunity to proceed more than a few feet before they ran into Con nelley and pointed their guns at him.
 It was also generally believed that Harris, while making it appear that he was on his way to the depot. in reality stopped behind some of the cars in order to further observe the three men he had ordered away. That he saw the holdup is not doubted and that he did not arrive in time to pre- vent it is explained by the probability that he was obliged to run around the end of a string of freight c~rs standing in the yard.
 It was the blow of a man with murder in his heart that killed Har- ris. This is the substance of the testimony of pr. H. K Beauchamp who performed an autopsy on the body of the dead policeman
 The hand that struck that blow was free" said Dr. Beauchamp on the stand yesterday. "The knife went en- tirely through the breast bone, sever- ed the juglars and a carotid artery
