CORONER BAFFLED BY DOUBLE MURDER AT NEGROES DANCE
Attentions of One Man to Girl Said by Witnesses to Have Started Shower
 of Bullets

Although Coroner J. D. Russum, assisted by the personnel of the city detective bureau, was busy through out yesterday in attempts to ascertain the causes leading up to the killing of two negroes and the mortal wounding of two others at a dance at 1908 Johns street yesterday morn ing, he was at late hour last night as far from determing the cause as when they started, according to their own statements.
 Coroner Russum said that he will open his formal investigation Monday morning.
 Those killed were Johnnie Lyons. negro, 624 Twelfth avenue. north. and I'll Richardson, negress. Third alley and Seventeenth street. Those wound ed and who are now lying at the point of death at Hiilman hospital and North Side infirmary are Henry Miller, 710 Fourteenth street. south. and Lorina Sims, 615 Lucy avenue Attending medical authorities said neither of the injured have material chances of recovery.
 Coroner Russum, with Officers W. W. Brent, F. P. Jones, F. J. Smith, Arthur Ellis and A. S. Fable. conduct ed a preliminary investigation into the murders yesterday morning at police headquarters. Five negroes, all of them gave conflicting state ments concerning the double tragedy. All claimed to- have been nearby when the shooting occurred.
 Myrtle Hawkins and Henrietta Murphy, negresses. over whom the officers allege the shooting occurred. were confined in the jail. pending the outcome of the coroner's inquest, as were the three other witnesses.
 From the information obtained by the officers. Lyons and Miller became angered at each other when Miller paid attentions to the Hawkins girl. The officers said that Lyons and Miller pulled their weapons and fired at each other, Lyons being killed Ella Richerson. who was bystander being killed. and Miller and Lorina Sims, the latter also being . spec tator. falling wounded. The officers have not accepted this information as to be the direct cause of tho two murders, and the injuries of the man and woman, and are at work on other angles of the case, which they said would possibly boar fruit by today.
