followed by one of the witnesses against whom he turned with leveled revolver His way was dogged until he was lost below the Southern Pacific depot It was not then known that man had been killed.
 Parade of the Suspected Another incident of the inquest was the bringing before the witnesses who had seen this man dozen or more men, mostly Greeks and frequenters of the Athenian club, the distinguished name by which Creme's gambling joint was known. As they passed, two of the witnesses said that they failed to identify any of the men as the man they had seen. But one of the witnesses picked out two men who might have been he. One of them limoed as the ! fleeing man did, but it turned out that he was suffering from dropsy. There were scratches thous1, on his arms and legs which it was suggested he might have received in falling down the stairway along which Creme fell after he was shot
 The inquest failed to throw any light upon the motive for killing Creme. Evi- dently it was not robbery. Near the head of the stairway was found bag ! LOildAllll6 d iclt oul1 " IlCii VI CA1lC was carrying away from the gambling ! joint He wore a diamond stickpin. had a gold watch and chain and a small amount of silver in his pocket. There was though, the possibility that ! the slayer had tried to hold Creme up bat that he became panic stricken when he heard the agonizing cry of his vic- tim and the roar of the revolver shot, and fled.
 The Unknown Motive
 The first witness was H. E. Crose, a Santa Fe fireman, who had returned from his run to the Stacy hotel. He fleft there about half past two o'clock to go to a restaurant. At the corner of 4 First avenue and Washington street he heard shout a shot and crash. He | could not say whether the shout or the shot was heard first. He seemed to hear the words, Don't and Help"
 T He judged from the voice that the man who uttered the cry was badly frightened When he reached Wal street half block away, he saw a man lying on the ground few feet from the wall, his head to the south |, He lay on his right side.
 ]; The next witness was A. L. Moore of Moore & Mcclellan. He said it was
 2:45 o'clock when a telephone message was received saying that man had
 been shot and killed in Wall street
 His description of the mans position | was the same as that of MT. Crosse. MT . Moore said that he examined the bodJ [ and he found two bullet wounds. One
 was in the right wrist. The other wa. on the left breast over the heart. Ths ; ball ranged upward and toward the
 right and was found lodged under tn,
 skin of the right shoulder.
 There was good deal of blood wher. the body lay, quite pool of it thefs and on the steps of the lower part O the stairway. Farther up there wer,
 only drops, the flow evidently increas - ing as the victim staggered or fell dowI the stairs.
 The Bloody Trail
 There was also blood on the righ
 wall of the stairway. There was blooS
 on the floor near the head of the stair,
 way. leading to the belief that the man
 had been shot perhaps in his room
 Near the top was the money bag. Mir
 Moore also described the contents o
 CrenBe's pockets
 Among those early on the grount was Harry Gaskin of the merchant DO
 lice. He had seen much the same al the previous witnesses. But in addi
 tion he described a black hat, fount two or t1Iree steps from the to- of tn stairway, and little farther down ; brown automobile cap of serge. H also visited the rooms of the Athenial
 club where~a single light was burning
 There was no evidence there of an struggle. The officer saw no one abou
 the building. Officer R. A. Graham ! who was with Mfr. Gaskin corroborate, , his story.
 The next three witnesses were Ear } Wright, elevator boy at the Jeffersoi IS hotel, Henry AJphin, bellboy at tn
