JURY DECLARES
EHMKE JUSTIFIED
IN JACKSON CASE
Mother of Victim at
Inquest Gives
Testimony

In returning n verdict of iustifiabl(
homicide, yesterday afternoon, tbs
coroner's jury completely exonerat
ed T. d. Ehmke, rancher who shot
Floyd Jackson in defense of hi,
property four miles west of FL Cen.
tro early Friday morning.
The testimony at the inquest was
in substance that Jackson and his
partner, Starr, entered the grape
fruit orchard at the Ehmke ranch
intending to steal grapefruit to sell.
They started to pick the fruit from
a tree under which Mr.. Ehmke was
asleep. When he wakened and ord
cred them to put their hands up,
he fired, using an automatic shot
gun loaded with buckshot. The two
men ran and signalling q passing
automobile started for FL Centre.
They were picked up by the sheiff :
car before thev reached town and
Jackson was taken to the hospital
for an operation to close the wound
and Starr was taken to the Jail.
Jackson died yesterday at 1880
o'clock.
Mr.. Ehmke testified that he has
been troubled n great deal this
year by grapefruit thieves who have
taken more than $500 worth of fruit,
he claimed He told the jury that
just recently the tracks in his Or
chard showed that a group of
thieves had come within few yards
of where he and his family had been
sleeping on a porch at their home.
He testified further that his fam
lily had been endangered by the
boldness of thieves and that he had
been kept awake many nights watch
ing the place. Mr.. Ehmke said he
had six children ranging in ages
from II months to l6 years and that
he had had to be some distance from
his home at times while he took care
of the irrigation work on the ranch.
Surprised at Result
In firing the shot that caused the
death of jackson, the rancher said
he had intended to shoot him in
the legs, and when he was told by
deputies that the shots had penc-
trated the abdomen, he could hard
ly believe il.
The testimony of Starr was in sub
stance the same as that told TO
the district attorney yesterday
morning. He admitted that he and
jackson had intended stealing grape
fruit, however, he maintained that
they had not entered the orchard be-
fore, though they had stolen some
fruit near Heber some time ago. He
admitted in his testimony yester-
day that he had served terms in
the jails at San Diego and Santa
Ana.
Mrs. N. F. Thompson, mother of
Jackson, living at 800 Hamilton
street, told the jury that she knew
nothing of the whereabouts of the
two boys on the night of the shoot
ing, though they had mentioned ego
ing out somewhere.' She said her
boy had been out of work since
coming here from Redlands several
months ago.
The jurymen sitting at the in
quest yesterday were: F. L. Shaw,
w. Couch, G. w. Broadbridge, d. G.
Harrill, F. o. Ferguson, James
Burke and y. T. Cody. Their ver
diet read, "death was caused by q
gunshot wound in the abdomen in
flicted by T. D. Ehmke in defense
Of life and property in justifiable
homicide.'
