Policeman Albury then notified Peace Justice Esquinaldo questioned nesses. “Everyone of them,” Justice Esquinaldo said, “including Williams wife, told me that Ken- non was humbly pleading with Williams when he thrust his hand into his inside coat pocket, drew out an ice pick and stabbed Ken- non in the heart, three times. I summoned -Dr. Benson to exam- ine the murdered man, and :the doctor said that the ice pick wounds ,had caused death.” Justice Esquinaldo said that he had informed the state attorney's office that no coroner's inquest would be held, because under a Florida law, passed at the 1943 session of the legislature, no in- quest is necessary when there are eye-witnesses to a crime.
