Cor- er Leland was of the opinion that no other verdict was justifiable, and in ap- roving the verdict informed the jury until some witness could be pro- duced who saw Kearney jump into the the manner of his death would be unknown. The sensational testjmony that was an- ticipated at the Coroner's inquest did not materialize. Neither Mrs. Charles B. Har- ris or Myrtle Beers, the women whose names were dragged into the case, ap- peared at the inquest. Mr. Harris did, however, and showed by irrefutable evi- nce that he had not been out of Sac- mento, nor did he know or ever meet lectased. There was a fairly large attendance at the inquest yesterday. Many witnesses were examined, but they could throw no further light on the case. Marino Aels- tre, an Ttalian fisherman, testified to find- ing the body off Vallejo-street wharf. Dan GRAPE-NUTS. E. O'Brien, a young man who runs a gasoline launch, testified to assisting the rman to land the body. Deputy Cor- er J. P. Fennell told in what condition found the body. He sald the over- coat was buttoned tight, and in order to remove the articles of value from the body he had to cut the pockets. He de- geribed the articles he found in the pock- ets, and these wete offered in evidence. He said there was no jeweliry on the per- son of deceased. BROTHER TESTIFIES. Samuel E. Kearney, a brother of de- 1, testified in part as follows: 1 saw my brother two days before he disappeared. He disappeared on January 1 did not know of his disappearance til some one telephoned me to ask where he was. 1'told them I supposed he had gone to work. By the following Sunday 1 began to think that something had happened to him. I know of noth- ing that would lead him to take his own life.” “Did you know of any affair he had with some one?” asked Coroner Leland. “No, sir,” replied the witness. The witness was shown the stiff hat that had been found in the bay, and sald he could not identify it, but in his opin- jon it looked like the type of hat his brother wore. He stated that the gun metal watch which his brother wore wes found in his room, and that the chain was ba political questi, racter of that prom Iy Gemon, de T old regime opened new chapters ip the FOOLED THE wP]OSPITAL.

A mother living In Charlestown, Mass., the happy*possessor of four children, writes: “Every fall and winter I lald in a stock of cough remedies, c: mixtures and throat medicines for m children, for somehow or other they neve: scem to be free from colds, coughs or sore throat. “This fall ] made a change in the usual programme. 1 had myself been cured of an obstinate catarrh, from which I had snflered for years, by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and as they were pleasant to | ake 1 determined to try them with my children. Our family physician told me he knew them to, be perfectly safe and nothing better could be used for catarrh, coughs and colds. “So I gave them to the children and have continued to do so ever since when- ever there is the least sign of croup or sore throat, and I no longer dread the approach of cold weather as I once did. “Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets not only cured me of chronic nasal and throat catarrh, but they have saved me many an gnxious night with my little ones. The children like the taste of them, and it is really wonderful how quickly they will break up a croupy cold or an obstinate, decp- seated cough.” People who have used sprays, inhalers, salves or washes for catarrh and have found how useless they are will be agree- | ably surprised at the results following the uge of a pleasant, convenient, internal remedy in tablet form. Druggists every- where admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets, which sell for 50 cents full slzed package, is the safest, most effective ard popular of catarrh medicines.

He also testified chat | on opening up the store on January 23, the morning Kearney disappeared, he found water on the floor, which led him to believe that Kearney had been there before he arrived. The witness was un- able to identify the hat. He stated that Zenus O. Pratt, who is alleged to have gone over to Oakland with a girl friend of Kearney’s, was in Honolulu and that he knew nothing about Kearney's taking off. . MET KEARNEY ON BOAT. Edward J. Wichitschill, an electrician, testified to meeting Kearney on the morn- ing of January 23 on the Oakland ferry- boat. He stated that Kearney was not excited nor did he avoid the witness. He said they chatted, and he saw nothing about Kearney’'s behavior to lead him to believe he contemplated spicide. He said Kearney told him he was going over to Boole's shipyard. Hugh Burns, second officer of steamer Encinal, testified that on the %d of January, just as the Encinal had left her slip en route for Alameda, he heard the signal four bells, and he immediately had a boat lowered, as that meant a man overboard. He said all he could find was the man's hat, which he turned over to the wharfinger to give to the officers, Philip Christmann, a saloon-keeper, wag unable to enlighten the jury. Leo Whip- ple, a clerk in the employ of the South- ern Pacific Company, testified that a man and woman called at the office of ihe company to ldentify the hat. He could not tell anything about them, as he was busy with his work. Special Officer Maloney of the Southern Pacific gompany stated that he had been the |is cloge to the Brooks-Follls Compar | and had several drinks. called to the office at the time the man and woman called, and he watched them. He swore the young lady sald abruptly: “That’s the hat.
