He was present at the inquest held at the sixth precinct station this morning, having beén brought up from Jail. Ligut. Hollin- berger of the fourth precinct ‘and two of his officers who had mage the investigation were also present. SeVefal witnesses were examined, none of whom, with possibly onc exception, had witnessed the alleged as- sault, charged to have o¢currea the ¥2th of the month, at the home of the deceased, No. 634 E street southwest. The prisoner was represented by Warder Voorhees and W. M. Officy. After the ver- dict was rendered the prisoner; was re- turned to jail and the body of the deceased was removed from the morgue to.Lee’s un- certaking establishment. The funeral will probably taxe place tomorrow. Physician's Testimony. Dr. G. G. Morris, $15.14th street north- west, testified that he -was called to see Mrs. Wren Saturday morning following the day she was injured. He found ‘her in a serious condition, showing evidences of brain trouble. There was also a man in the room, who was vér¥ much under the influence of liquor. Witness was told that Mrs. Wren's sister had complained that the intoxicated man had assaulted her. The man, whom the witness identified as Lanc- , left the room and went into the kitcnen. Wren told him, he-said, that the man had assaulted her. When witness ordered the intoxicated man from the house the lat- ter refused to go, saying he was the in- jured woman's husband. Witiess helped him on with his overcoat and saw that he left the house. Witness then Informed the police. He got most of his information from a colored woman-mamed King. She told him the assault committed Mon- day afternoon, the Tzth of the month. When he was called he found a bruise on the woman's head, and there was paralysis of the left arm. * Afflicted Sister a Witness. Miss Ellen Wren, aw invalid sister of the deceased, appeared befgre the coroner's jury. She had to be carfied on a chair and Was deaf and dumb.

Wit- ness said he had hear@ Lancton threaten the woman's life on severat occasions ‘The night of February 20,” said witn ancton came into the house and said ‘Tl cut your throat’ and ‘T'dl kill you, you <a Witness added that he also said “FM murder you" and: “TM poison you." Witness said he had boarded. at Mrs. Wren’s house for seveh years, Lancton also lived there, and, said-witness, he was avery jealaus man.’ @n one occasion, the Witness dé@édy, Lancton drdgred him out of the house.- saying hé had married Mrs Wren, and he wanted to live there alone } with sher.- [he prisoner, he said, became acquainted with Mrs. Wren at the office of Milo B. Steve where she “was” em- ployed. He changed his boarding house after the prisoner told him he was mar- tied. Witness mentioned ghe dates on alleged threats were made. On sion he threatened to kill both Mrs. Wren and witness, and said: “If T kill both of you I'll get off, because they'll say I'm crazy.” Heard Lancton Make Threats. Ida King, colored, testified that she had lived in the Wren famlly nearly all her life and said she could understand the signs made by the invalid sister. Witness said she heard Lancton threaten to kill Mrs. Wren the day of the alleged assault. He also said in her hearing he would kill Mr. Wheatley. The prisoner said he would commit a double murder if he (Lancton) caught the widow talking to Wheatley. The invalid sister told witness by signs of the alleged assault. Lancton entered the room while the sister was telling her of the affair, and she pointed fo him as the man who had committed the assault. Emily King, an elderly colored woman, testified that Saturday night previous. to the alleged assault she went to see Mrs. Wren and Lancton put her out of the house. She thought he was sober at that time. When she heard that Mrs. Wren was ill, Wednesday, she called at the house and found her in bed.: The doors were locked and witness crawled through a win- dow. When she got into the house she was told the sick women had been without food for two days and she made some tea for them. Thursday night a man from the office where Mrs. Wren worked called at the house and found that she was sick. He sent the doctor to see her. Lancton had boarded at the house ‘about four months, * a Friends for Many Years. Mrs. S. F. Yates, who‘had been a friend of the Wren family gor many years, was called to tell something about the invalid sister. She said she could understand ev- erything. the tnvalid says by signs. “I have known Mrs. Wren for fully fifty years,"’ she seid. : “Was Mrs. Wren that old?" the. coroner asked. : “Yes, sir,” se answered. Mrs. Wren, she said, came of a good fam- ily and had lived here’all-her life. Mrs. Hetty Hillings testified that she had been an intimate friend of the deceased for many years. She called on her: Sunday, March 11, and Mrs, Wren told her that Lancton was jealous of her and was caus- ing her a great deal of annoyance. She told witness that Lancton had threatened to kill her if she did not marry. him, and said she felt as if she would like to gp away. Result of the<Amtopsy.
