The officers reserve their opinion as to the truth of the ex-convict's story, but the fact that Young traveled with Castro has seemed to lend some color to the theory of the former's participation in the crime. TUntil this morning Castro maintained a | resolute silence regarding the events of last night. When finally he was induced to talk he promptly endeavored to fix the responsibility on Young. This resulted in Young's arrest. The Boy stated to the po- | ce that he had journeved from Concord | to Martinez with Castro, that the horse | attached to their buggy had been tied, | | that he wandered about town and-that he | nothing more of Castro until the | 5 : 1 latter's arrest. sons saw him on the streets before the gress of the search for the kidnaper. POLICE DOUBT STORY. Castro has not yet satisfactorlly ex- plained his possession of a number of | plllow slips and portions of a woman's garments. He says that they were given to him by a Chinese, but the officers be- were stolen in one of the towns near here, probably Concord. Constable Benjamin V. Soto of Concord reports that Castro attempted kidnaping in that locality recently, but not to such an ex- tent that he could be arrested.

Rufus C. Hunt, general superintendent of the tunnel work, said to-day that twa converging seams had appeared in the tunnel during Saturday. The presence of the seams, howeyer, was not believed to indicaté any more dangerous character of the rock than had previously been en- countered, although it was thought nec- essary to protect the roof with a number of upright timber braceés. TONS OF ROCK FALL ON MEN. The tunnel was being bored* by open- ing a perpendicular embrasure in the face of the bore, and blasting the sides to the right and left of these embrasures. Three blasts were arranged by the drillers, the | | holes being charged well toward the roof. The drillers then withdrew and the blasts were set cff in rapid succession by elec- tricity, loosening large quantities of earth and rock. About ten minutes elapsed to allow the smoke to clear away before Timothy Sullivan, the foreman, and Elec- triclan Schutte advanced, the latter in- tending to string wires and hang electric lamps to light the way. They were fol- lowed by sixteen workmen. The van- guard of the gang had scarcely reached the broken stone when a rumbling sound was heard. It grew in volume with light- ning-like rapidity. Those in the rear had just time to turn about and run when, with a deafening crash, hundreds of tons of rock fell on the men at the face of the boring. The drillers and two or three Italians who were out of reach of the deluge of rock were knocked flat on their faces by the rush of wind driven through the tun- nel. ‘When the roar had ceased the cries of the injured workmen re-echoed through the tunnel. An alarm was telephoned to ambulances were immediately sent to the scene. 3 A policeman and two ambulance sur- opulace, but vestig of | | HUNDRED CITIZENS OF THE TOW. geons were the first to enter the tunpel.

He was hanging head downward, groaning Iin seml-consclous- ness. The*rock that held him was re- strained from falling farther by a small plece of stone inkecurely wedged under it, and an effort to move the bowlder would cause the Itallan to be completely crushed. The doctors then determined to day pla. the police headquarters and reserves and | in securing presents. amputate the pinioned leg, and this was done in the light of the ambulance lamp. The man, who was not identified, died later at a hospital. RESCUE WORK IS DELAYED. The work of further rescue was de- layed for some little time owing to the threatening position of the bowlders. Meantime the cries and groans from un- | der the mass of stone wrought such ex- | citement among the rescuers that they were prepared to undertake any risk to render assistance to the imprisoned men. The cave-in released a natural spring in the earth above the tunnel and in a few moments a stream of water was | gushing in and trickling about the feet | of the worlkers, and to some extent inter- | ferea with the work of rescue. The fire- men and policemen cleared away the small pieces of rock from the big block { of stone and managed to get near Juno | Pasquale and Batasto Valantio, who were | bruised on the back and legs. - As soon | as the injured in its immediate vicinity | were removed, the big stone was blown up with powder and taken away plece by piece. Back of this rock was a fifty- ton block that had dropped from the roof of the tunnel. In a crevice beneath it the bodies of the two men, one lfing across the other, were found. The upper man had been crushed to death while the cne underneath was alive, though his legs and body were | crushed. It was an hour before he was extricated. The big stone was partly blasted away while it lay over him and a hydraulic jack then elevated the re- maining portion of it sufficiently to per- mit of the man's rembval. He was Juno Baki. He had been pinned under the body of his dead fellow workman for hours, part of the time conscious. Four feet below the place where Baki lay, the crushed form of Alphonse Ar- matello was discovered under a quaptity of small rock and shale. He was quick- ly extricated. Then were found the bodies of several unidentified Italians, B‘ome of them crushed beyond recogni- tion. Later the body of William Schutte was found, within ten feet of the face of the tunnel. A pathetic incident was the finding of the body of Foreman Sullivan, wedged and jammed far beneath the stone. It | was not recovered until long after day- light. From about 3 o'clock in the morning his ten-year-old son Samuel had stood by and could not be induced to leave until the body of his father had been ex- tricatd. Many Italian women congre- gated about the exits, weeping. lament- ing and rushing to the tram car each time it brought forth a body. The corpses of Stanzione Burne, Louis Tipplo, Guisseppe Barono and three other unidentified Itallans were found flattened on the floor of the tunnel near where the body of Sullivan was recov- ered. The heads of the men, in most cases, were toward the exit, indicating that they had plunged to the north in an effort to escape. Bach body was re- | moved only by the lifting of tons upon | tons of rock. Rufus C. Hunt, superintendent, and Richard Beyers, general foreman for John McDonald, the contractor, who is { building the tunnel, were arrested as soon as théy reached the sceme of the disaster, but being experts in tunnel | work and blasting. were permitted to direct the work of rescue. Later a mag- istrats remanded them to the coroner, | who held them in $10,000 bail each. | Coroner Jackson said he believed the | accident was caused by criminal negli- gence. The seams that appeared Sat- urday are believed to have been about the great rock that fell directly in the center of the excavation. As soon as this boulder, acting as a keystone, was released, the stones on both sides fol- lowed it. From men who worked in the tunnel it was learned that props had been used to hold up the roof. The heavy timbers, | 12 by 12 inches, were crumbled like toothpicks beneath the great weight of the cave-in. £LDVERTISEMENTS. 1| A Suit to_ immense quantities. our Order for $I5.
