DUXBURY, Mass., Sept. 26.—Fanny Davenport (Mrs. Melbourne Mec- Dowell) died at her summer home, Melbourne Hall, at half-past 10 o’clock to-night of enlargement of the heart. Miss Davenport had never fully recovered from her severe illness in the summer, but up to a week ago it was thought she would in time enioy good health again. A few days ago, however, a change was noticed. then she has been gradually sinking, and death was only a question of a few hours. Since to-day it was announced that Her three sisters had already been notified, and with her husband, were with her when she peacefully passed away.

Survivor had the hearts of his admirers in their mouths until well in the homestretch, but won finally by two lengths.

BROOKS INQUEST ENDS IN NAUGHT Coroner’s Jury Accuses No One. NELSON STILL A PRISONER SHERIFF HARRISON BELIEVES HIM GUILTY. Deputy Marshal Cramer’s Testimony Wholly Contradictory of the Story Related by the Deckhand. 5 Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 26.—Despite the decision of the Coroner’s jury that the facts were not of sufficient force to warrant it in charging Peter Nelson, the deckhand on the yacht Chispa, with the murder of Captain James Moss Brooks, Sheriff Harrison is so thorough- ly convinced of the guilt of the pris- oner that he has not yet discharged him from custody and pending a more careful investization will hold the deckhand at the County Jail. Coroner Eden conducted the inquest and did all in his power to bring out the facts. The first important testimony was given by Deputy Marshal Susavilla, ‘William Harrison’s private watchman. He said none of the party had seen a boat leave the Chispa. However, as the night was dark and the wind blow- ing strongly he inclined to the belief that even if a boat had left nobody would have known it. Alfred Nilson, the keeper of the yacht Ramona, supplied the additional knowledge tha: at the time he pulled Nelson into the boat the deckhand had on one sock, but the foot of his unin- Jured leg was bare. George Smith, one of the first to board the yacht, asserted | that as the rowboat approached the | scene somebody on a yacht near by | yelled to them to be careful, that a | crazy man on the Chispa was shooting | at_everybody. Nelson was sworn. He told the jury | his story In just about the same words as it was formerly related to the Sher- | iff. He stated that the door from the cabin to the forecastle, where he slept, was closed at the time the murder was committed and that he had to reach the deck by climbing through the hatchway. Nelson’s wounded leg was shown to Dr. Jones, the autopsy physician, who testified afterward that the wound could have been caused by either a bullet or a scrape from some suitable instrument. Dr. Jones testified that he had found five distinct wounds of the scalp, an abrasion of th~ left ear and abrasions on the fingers of the right hand and left wrist of Captain Brooks. The worst wound was behind the left ear and the one on the left temple was also deep. They could have been pro- duced with some instrument like a mar- lin spike or a hatchet. By far the most important evidence adduced was from Deputy Marshal Eu- gene Cramer.. He sald that when he entered the room in which the captain lay dead he picked up the arm lying above the cover and found it cold and stiff. The elbow could hardly be | flexed at all. The bedclothes were not disturbed, showing that the captain | had made no struggle. Cramer said that one of the most peculiar facts in connection with the murder was that while the body lay on the right side, | the large wound in the back of the head from which the blood had spurted being toward the back of the couch, the opposite wall of the room was cov- ered from the bood that had spurted on it Cramer said this could not have been possible if the body lay as it was found. In his opinion, Captain Brooks had been dead at least an hour and was killed while standing near the opposite wall. The body must then have been placed in the bed and cov- ered with the clothes. Marshal Hannon was recalled to the 1| stand and gave substantially the same | testlmony as his predecessors. He said leading | Four-mile dash wone by Todhunter, 23% Cramer had not only felt of Captain Brooks’' pulse and remarked that the arm was icy cold, but had placed his hand under the dead man's nightshirt and over his heart, only to exclaim: “Why, his body is so cold that I can feel it through the undershirt.” When William Harrison's name was called he was missing. District At- torney Martinelli said he guessed Har- rison’s testimony would not differ much from what had already been learned. Had Harrison been summoned he would have sworn that he stood on the shore and saw the flashes of the re- volver; that they were toward the stern of the boat and not toward the starboard side and in the direction in which the prisoner swam, according to his assertion. Harrison also would have testified that the splash of Nel- son’s plunge into the water did not oc- cur until after all three shots had been fired. No attempt was made to have Mrs. Case or Mrs. Crandal present, though both of these ladies were i1. a position to hear everything and have already stated that they heard the sound of the splash a few moments after the shots. Dr. Case was present and said no subpena had been served on his wife, and that she had told him the re- ports preceded the splash. It was shortly after the noon hour when all the evidence was in and the jury did not hesitate long before bring- ing in a verdict that Captain Brooks had come to his death early in the morning of the 24th inst. by wounds inflicted with a blunt instrument in the hands of a party or of parties un- known. HOBSON CONFIDENT HE CAN RAISE THE COLON Expects to Return to New York on Her—How the Maria Teresa ‘Was Floated. SANTTAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 2%.—De- tails just recelved of the floating of the Spanish armored cruiser, Maria Teresa show that with the help of dynamite she was blown off the rocks into deep water on September 23, and proceeded under her own steam some time afterward to Guan- tanamo, accompanied by one of the tugs of the Merritt Wrecking Company. She will shortly leave for New York. Naval Constructor Hobson says he can raise the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon, with the use of air bags, in a week, If given authority to do so. Commodore Watson thinks he cannot. The Colon, it appears, was not seriously damaged by shells, but her valves were opened, which caused her to sink. The other two Span- ish cruisers sunk in the battle of Santi- ago, the Almirante Oquendo and the Viz- caya, are useless wrecks of -melted iron, Hobson says he expects to return to New York on the Colon.
