cause of death the report said was
depressed fracture in the right tenn
plar region.
The coroner's jury, after hearing
the testimony of Deputy Sheriff
Couts, who told of finding the body
and searching for it in the past four
days, the three doctors and Watson
returned the verdict of "death caused
by blow on the head by James Wat
son." Watson sat all hunched up,
his face deadly pale and not unlike the
parts of the corpse in the next room.
His hands were active, but not ner-
vous during the testimony. Two flies
that buzzed around him and occasion
ally lighted on his face did not seem
to bother him in the least. Deputy
Sheriffs Couts and Bell Under Sheriff
Manning and two Imperial county of
fcers who stood behind him, lowered
above him. The large chapel was
crowded to the doors, women being a
.arge proportion of the onlooKers.
Watson's hair was disheveled and he
talked in a very low voice. Coroner
Peterson sat next to Mr.. Woolwine
during the examination.

The bonds going lower because people keep selling

"Now. MIR. Watson, can you recog-
nize by the fact of the nose being
crushed in and by other marks on
the face that this is the woman, Nina
Lee Deloney?" Mr.. Woolwine asked.
"This is Nina Lee Deloney,' was
the answer. Then the man collapsed
absolutely and hanging like a limp
rag to the strong arms of the two
deputy sheriffs he was carried out of
the room to the automobile outside.
He was taken back to the county Jail,
where DR.. "A. C. Saunders, the physi-
|tian who made the trip with him,
gave him the third hypodermic of the
day. The face Watson looked upon
was beyond recognition, sand and
human tissue mingled into one mass,
crushed nose and hail still matted
with sand and blood added grewsome-
ness to the sight. The face looked diff
ferent from the face he saw the last
time he looked upon it, as he was
dragging it up the steep mountain,
and that face will live in Watson's
memory forever. Just before Watson
viewed the body, the coroner's jury
was taken into the room to view it.
One of the jurors turned white and
had to be assisted out Of the room.

FORMER WATERS IN
SORE STRAIGHTS
(By Associated Press)

VIENNA, May 5.-Aristocratic vi
emma, once famed for its chefs, now
offers small opportunities for the dis
play of gastronomic art. Professional
cooks are regarded as "superfluitiess"
as are also an army of walters, all
jobless and forlorn.
Many hundreds of Austrians who
were interned in England during the
war returned here to find they could
not work to do. By far the greater
number are walters. They are in a
desperate plight. Owing to the great
increase in the cost of living there
has been great diminution in the
number of those who were wont to
patronize hotels and restaurants.
Walters fortunate enough to get
a job at their calling encounter almost
insuperabel difficulties in providing
themselves with conventional garb
There are few second hand dress suits
in Vienna. And new dress suits cost
from 5000 to 5000 crowns. 1t has
been suggested that in lieu of dress
suits they should be allowed to wear
white linen uniforms which could be
bad much more cheaply and would
render it easier to distinguish be-
tween walters and guests.
