WOMAN THREATENED
BY APPENDICITIS

With the hope that evidence will
be adduced to shed some light ON
who killed Michael Cadora, as
well as pin guilt upon the party
or parties who precipitated the
yun fight and general brawl at
Belle Grove Inn in the upper sec
ion of the county in the early
hours of Sunday morning, the
ury of inquest, of which Police
Justice William S. Welch, of An
lapolis, is sitting as coroner, will
resume its Investigations at the
county Jail here at 4 o'clock this
afternoon.
Fourteen Have Testified
Fourteen OF the forty-odd witnesses
who were arrested when the place
was raided, and lodged in the Jail, were
examined in course of the first ses-
sion of the inquisition held yesterday
afternoon, but the State accomplished
little by way of touching upon the
main points of the issue OF lawless-
ness. Following this hearing, three
witnesses were discharged. but the
others were remanded to Jail to await
further developments. States Attor-
ney James NJ. Munroe, in the role OF
prosecutor, put a series OF questions
% the several witnesses. The testi-
mony, as whole, tended to show that
Belle Grove Inn was a place to have a
good time-dancing, etc. but that no
intoxicating liquors were sold on the
premises. All, however, were ignor-
ant of who fired the bullet that killed
Cadora, or any of the other shots, for
that matter. AT today's inquest, the
jury may be able to complete the
examination of witnesses.

Mabel jenkins, Chief Witness
The main point touching upon the
shooting was given by Mabel Jenkins,
who lives at Glen Burnie, but who
stated that her home address is 1407
West Fayette street, Baltimore.
She said that while she was stand
ing outside the doorway of the inn
talking with another girl she heard
a shot inside and went in. James Nc
Cracken, she said. was standing in the
floor with a pistol in his hand. Other
armed men stood with him, but she
could not state which of them had
fired the shot that she heard. One
Of the men, whose name she knew as
Jenkins, grabbed a chair and started
towards the armed party. There was
shot and Jenkins fell to the floor.
Jenkins was later identified as Ca
dora. Miss Jenkins did not know the
man who fired the shot. When the
fighting was over, she said that there
seemed to be no one attending to the
wounded man, and she, with two 9TH
ers of the girls, picked him up and
placed him in an automobile In which
he was carried to Baltimore. The
girls were placed under arrest after
they arrived in Baltimore, she said. /.
