Los ANGELES, April 25 - The
coroner, assisted by representatives
of the district attorney, and guard
ed by deputy sheriffs, began an in
quest today into the death of Con-
stable NJ B. Mosher, killed Sunday
night, The inquest, it was announced,
will be broadened in scope to de
termine not only who caused the
death of Mosher and what facts sur
rounded tn occurrence, but also
what was the motive back of the
mob activity and who was respon-
sible for the entire affair.
The raid resulting in the killing
of Constable Mosher was arranged
in meeting Friday night in which
Blake E. Shambeau, Inglewood traf
fic officer, was initiated into the
Ku Klux Klan, Shambeau testified

arranging the raid was held in the
undertaking parlors where the In
quest is now being conducted, Sham
beau testified. Shambeau, who Is
deputy marshal, and a deputy sher-
iff. testified that two undertakers
and a doctor were among those who
attended the meeting.
An alteration interrupting the in
quest, developed between Chief Dep
uty District Attorney Doran and
William S. Coburn, supreme attor-
ney and Grand Goblin of the Pacific
domain of the Ku Klux Klan, when
the latter attempted to interfere
with the Investigators questions. AT
ter a spirited interchange Doran Or
dered the Kan officer to sit down,
amidst cheers from the throng at
tending the inquest. Another sensa-
tional development was the testimo-
ny of Donald Parker, a newspaper
photographer, who received an ex-
c.usive tip Of the raid, that he
had been a member of the Kan and
had resigned yesterday Shambeau's
testimony was drawn out bit by bit
by Doran He admitted the meet
ing in which the raid was planned
was an official meeting of the Ku
Klux Klan and was officiated at by
Klan members. He completely broke
down under the grilling by Doran.
About 80 persons attended the meet
ing, Shambeau testified. The Fri
day evening meeting of the Klan
was attended by Constable Mosher
and his son and deputy, Walter,
who was wounded. according to
Shambeaus statement.

In past years Halloween, alias All

alias snapapple Night. was a one-day
celebration. t...(. .
Today 1t is celebrated over a period
of a week.
In the old days the souls Of the
dead. gobiins. wicked elves and
witches ratified over the housetops,
knocking bricks and SCOT down the
chimneys. ~-- OF" .a. .-.-"..
Today the only evil spirits about
are those compounded with wood al
cohol or flavoring extracts. They
knock off more than bricks and SCOT.
Such is the progress of science.
The true Halloween comes Tues
day night. Bogus celebrations are
going on all over Washington this
week and win continue through next
week. It takes a longer time to set
tie the modern spirits than 1t did the
simple sprites of the olden days.
Such is the progress Of art.
In the olden days the talking was
left to the winds clustering about
the caves and to such sprttes and
spirits as had MESA ges to deliver 10
the quaking hoi.polloi-at least dur

Today about the only things which
don't talk are the iights-which are
usually out. Such is the progress Of

In the olden days the maidens
took a split apple seed, naming
each half for lover. and stuck
them on their eyelids, the one

this was that fate could be logged

District Of Columbia Auto License
