There the story of the murder of LyshOn was told again by Leonard Thompson, the ls-year-old boy who witnessed it and who was kept in a state of terror by Taylor or Woods for weeks afterward believing himself to be constantly Un- OCT the shadow of death.
 Crowd at Inquest
 The boys story of the killing of Ly- shon on the desert twenty miles north cf Phoenix at 9 o'clock on the morning of November was the same as that related in The Republicans story of the tragedy yesterday morning.
 There was a large crowd at the in quest, but the only one to whom the story was new was Woods. That was the first he knew that the boy had
 
 tiercely at the youngster, and no doubt he regretted that he had not made that desert butchery a double one. That would have made his bloody secret ab- solutely safe for if by any accident the body of Lyshon had ever been discov cred in its shallow grave at the foot of Lone Mountain, there was nobody in Arizona who could have guessed whose it was or have connected it with Woods for both were strangers.
 Murder Would Out
 Another witness was Undersherift Squires of Las Vegas, Nevada, who brought Woods and the boy to Phoenix he day before. The undersheriff said that there were two things that at tiacted the authorities there to he case Without either of them there might not have been a discovery
 One was the fact that when Woods and the boy passed through Las Vegas three weeks before, Lyshon was with them and they had had occasion tC earn that he owned the car in which thev were travelling. When they re- turned. Lyshon was not with them. The other thing was the strange actions o1 the boy. The undersheriff said that he had found the sun with which the mur- der was committed Woods had pawneC it
 Tno1n pson said that after the murder and burial of Lyshon, Woods had never relaxed his vigilance over him, so that hc had had no opportunity to tell oi the murder. But the morning when he attracted the attention of the authori- ties. Woods was lying in his room at a hotel drunk It was while he was ir that condition that the first strands ot the net began forming around him
