pASC0E INQUEST
WILL BEGIN TO-
MORROW

Coroner Dan Holland is busy to-
day serving subpoenas for the Pascoe
inquest, which is to begin tomorrow
at p m. There is long list of wit
nesses to testify. Apparently nobody
but Lewis Keller knows anything
about the affair on the flat last Fri

or three days. Canning & Geagan

who will represent Mr.. keller's in
terests. The county attorneys Of

present to watch out vigilantly for
the state Coroner Dan Holland will
preside in his usual neutral and ju-

morsels of fact which it may be pos
sible to uneafth.
Clinton, the bartender at the Nor
ris Rose roadhouse under Timber
Butte, will tell of being called from
behind his bar in the early morning
hours by Lewis Keller to help carry
the unconscious, bloody, disheyeled
body of Ruby Pascoe from Keller's
car into the little back room behind
the dance hall; how they laid her on
the couch and worker frantically to
bring her to; how Keller left the girl
there with Clinton and drove madly
up town for aid; how she died in his
absence without medical aid.
Charles Thurston, the milkman,
will tell of passing along Elizabeth
Warren avenue in the early dawn,
of noting the torn blouse, and bloody
gloves by the roadside; of noting
the trampled condition of the sand !;
of finding those red splotches in the
dust, which proved, upon expert
| analysis, to be human blood.
Others will tell of the young
woman's good character. Some will
testify to previous exploits of Lewis
Keller, which would bury decent
man fathoms deep in shame
Some will tell of the brutal cal
lousness of his manner in relating
