FICER WHO HAS SUCCUMBED BAKERSFIELD TRAGEDY, WHERE AND THE FEARLESS Of'- tion with Governor Pardee to-nlght over the telephone, advised the latter that there was as yet no need for troops. There is, however, no question that many desire the lynching of Hulse on account of the fear that after all he may escape punishment for lack of absolute proof of his guilt to present in a court of jus- | tice. The officers say they have a good | case against him and will pe able to con- viet and hang him. The accused man maintains a sullen gilence, doggedly denying everything and declaring that he can prove an alibi. He ' names several of his associates as wit- nesses to uphold it. He acknowledges having purchased the ammunition with which McKinney made his last stand, but claims that he did it to go hunting. He says to the officers, “It's none of your business,” when asked questions. He is, however, very nervous. BULLETS ARE FOUND. Every new piece of evidence that comes to light goes to prove that he is the man who actually fired the shots that kiiled both Will Tibbet and Marshal Packard. The autopsy performed to-day upon the body of the latter officer revealed the in- disputable fact that two men were firing at him from the josshouse, as one arm was filled with buckshot and the ether was shattered by a 25.25 rifie bullet. An- other ball of the same caliber was ex- tracted from his neck. The bullet which made the latter wound evidently struck some hard substance and had been de- flected from its regular course, it is thought by the Marshai's pistcl. The bullet extracted fromj the body of Will Tibbet was also one of the same caliber. To further conYirm this Dr. A. F. Shafer and Under Sheriff Baker to-day examined the premises where the shooting occurred. The. bullet in the south wall of the left- hand room where the outlaw stooa when discovered and which was fired by Mar- shal Packard was found embedded in the woodwork. A search of the north room, the room to the right entering from the rear, failed to disclose the bullet fired by Gus Tower from his rifle and it is thought that perhaps this bullet also struck McKinney in the neck and is em- bedded in his body. All doubt as to an- other having murdered Packard and Tib- bet is removed when it is recalled that the weapon that lay Yy McKinney when he fell dead was the shotgun. Certain 1t is that in the brief period of time that the. battle lasted he never used two weapons. In an effort to quiet the talk of mob violence toward Hulse Major Frank §. ) E3 B S Rice, president of the Board of Trade and one of the most influential citizens of Bakersfield, to-day published a letter urging that the law be allowed to take its course. The letter is as follows: ADVICE TO PUBLIC. Terrible as were the events of yesterday, they have for us comfort in that we have Mhurmtghl\ demonstrated that we have officers | of the law sworn to do thelr duty and who are not afrald to do it. The two men who {now lie cold in death are both martyrs to | duty and the bringing about of a better con- dition of things for Bakersfield Terrible as the cost may have been, their blood has not been shed in vain. We' are entering upon a new era, ap era of honor, peace and prosper- ity for oul Let us see to it that nothing is done by any of us to bring | dishonor or discredit upon our good name as a community. While mourning with those who mourn, let us remember that the great Archi- tect of the universe works In marvelous ways | his wonders to perform. Every one of us has | his duty to perform. Let us see to it that we do ours as well as our martyred officers have done theirs. They | were upholding the law. Let us complete their work n seein that the majesty of the law is maintained. Let no 1ll conceived idea of re- venge tempt us into committing any act that shall rebound to our discredit as a law-abiding people. To do so would be an insult to our Sheriff, who has been 50 nobly performing his whole duty. It Is the least that we can do to see that the work he has so well begun shall be completed to his honor and to our credit as a people. To do otherwise would be the sheereat folly. If we desire to exert our en- ergies, let us devote them to the honoring of our dead and to the bringing up of the help- less ones they have left behind. Now is the time in the history of this city when we can show the world what sort of a people we are. It fs our opportunity. Let us not fail in our duty to ourselves and our city. | It is now learned that McKinney came into Bakersfleld in a wagon concealed un- der some blankets. The wagon was driv- | en, it is thought, by Jake McKinney and John Caldwell. The latter is now in the county jail. The two recently made a flying trip to the mountains and returned. Jt is then thevy are believed to have brought the outlaw intc town. It is estimated that all told the . re- wards offered for the capture of McKin- ney amounted to about $1700. It is un- derstood that the officers who were con- nected with the final hunt which ended with the death of Officers Packard and Tibbet will waive their claims and con- cede the reward to the relatives of the dead men.
