I Harris of Redlands, The boys had beén in the house to look at some pic- tures. Going In from another .room Sadie cried, “Look, I have something élse to show you.” As Guy turned to look there was a plinding flash through the screen door and his back, shoulder and arm_were riddled with No. 8 shot. Sadie dropped the gun and ran to Red- lands,; where he told the police that Guy had sliot himself, after which he disappeared. Guy is. terribly inured, his life hav- ing only been saved by the charge com- ing through @ heavy screen door. Last year Sadle Bellou shot his little sister in the face, disfiguring her for life.

Immediately after the Hoeuse had assembled Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman, - the - Jiberal leader. moved its adjournment, declaring that it would be unseemly under the eircum- stances to proceed wifh business while the Government was considering its posi- tion. Premier Balfour, however, declined to adjourn the House until the bill deal- ing with the differences of the Scottish United Free Church and the Free Church had been passed. This was quickly ac- complished, the House rose and the ex- cited members swarmed into the lobbies eagerly discussing the probable decision of the Cabinet, which had been summoned to meet this afternoon. The view that the Government will resign, however, is not held in circles generally well informed of the Govern- ment's intention, .

The Grand Jury finished fts hearing of the matteér and failed to. return an indictment against her. It was decided by that body that the evidence was not sufficient to show that murder had been committed. The members decided that if -new evi- derice be brought beforé them they may again take up the case. When District Attoritey Campbell wag informed of the jury's action, he ordered Sheriff Ross to release Mre, Hueter. The hearing before the Grand Jury this But two. witnesses ‘wefe examined, Albert Hueter and Sheriff Ross. Sherift Ross told of his visit to the Hue- ter ranch the morning after the Killing of Hveter. He told of the position of the dead body as It lay on the bed, and explained some photographs that had been taken. He repeated the story Mrs. Hueter had told him of the killing of her husband in self-defense. It is the same as has already been published. sriefly, she #ald Hueter came home from San Jose, and a quarrel ensued, during which he threatened to kil her, and believing her life was in danger she suot him. Alvert Hueter followed the Sheriff in the jury room. He told of #iis stepmother calling him over the telephone and telling him that his father had been killed. He had hastenéd to the house, and, riding to Alma, had summoned physicians from Los Gatos. Hé¢ was not an eye-witness, and could give little testimony in regard to the killing. Albert Hueter was ques- tioned in regard to the story he. told his faiher on the day of the shooting about Seeing a man in the house when he re- turnéd from a dance the evening befo: ‘Che story as printed in this morning's Call was related. . Albert Hueter had crépt up to the house when he saw.a light and looking into the room through thé window, had seen Mrs. Hueter with a strange man dressing. Hueter - told the jury that he had awak- ened the Japanese servant and the two of them had reconnoitered - about - the place. He and his father had agreed to set a trap and, catch Mrs, Hueter. No one asked young Hueter the name of the man he saw in the house and he did not state it. Deputy District Attorney Coolidge conducted the exammnation of the witnesses. That Hueter was not asked to reveal the name of the man he saw in the room is regarded as peculiar. It is clalmed that the questioning along these lines was to see if the wite's actions had anything to do with the conduet qf Hueter on the night that he was Kkilled: Mrs. Hueter was so overcome with joy ‘when told of the action of the jury that she cried. - She and her father embraced. ‘When sheé had somewhat recovered she sald: - “'Of course L am happy over the result, although it is what I expected.

WRECKAGE COVERS SHIP. ©On bdard the Bennington was presented a terrible scene. 'i.e force of the ex- plosion had torn a great hole in the star- board side of the ship and the vessel was already commencing to list. A section of the upper deck was carrled away from | stem to stern. Blood and wreckage cov- ered the entire ship, the after cabin and the vicinity of the ship ddjacent to the! exploded boiler resembling a charnei- | house. Over it all hung the great cloud of white smoke, which drifted slowly toward the Coronado shore. I The news of the explosion spread over | the city like wildfire. Hurrying am- bulances, hacks, carriages of every de- scription, which had been added to the excitement. Every phy- | sician who could be reached by telephone was called to the water front. Within a comparétively short time nearly a dozen physicians were on the scene and tend- ing the wounded. A dozen or fifteen of the mién were blown overboard by the force of the ter- rific explosion. Captain Wentworth, who was looking at the Bennington from the shore when the disaster occurred, says he saw human bodies hurled over a hun- dred feet upward. The air was black with smoke, which enveloped the ship. When it cledred away only a few meén | could be seen on the decks, while a num- | ber were floundering In the water. A boat was lowered from the vessel's side | taken on board. The shock of the éxplosion penetrated to every section of the ship, blood and ashes being found as far in the stefn of the cantain’s cabin. Portions of the upper deck were carried away and great damage was done In all sections. MAGAZINES FLOODED. All the available power launches hasten- ed to the wreck, while most of the row- 'bodts dlong” the bay weéte Brodght into use. Most of the dead and injured were taken ashore; where thé undertakers and physiclans were assembled, the former to take charge of the dead and the latter to minister to the needs of the living. The bodies of many of thé men taken from the wrecked Interfor of the Ship were mutilatéd almost beyond recogni- tion. The faces of many were covered with blood and ashes. Commander Young, as soon as he reached the ship, gave orders that the airtight compartments be closed to keep the listing ship from sinking and that ther explosions. Temporary - quarters ashore were ar- ranged for the wounded. Sixty _eitizen | Volunteers hurried in launchés to the re- of the volunteers were unable to stand | on the Bennington and strong men grew faint. As fast as the wounded could be removed they were hurried in am- bulances, carriages, wagons and automo- biles to the hospitals. For a long time the hot steagn prevented access to the space between decks, where most of the dead bodies lay, and it was not until late | in the afternoon that they were removed | from the boiler rooms. Several bodies were 8o tightly wedged in by a \gulngs' that the woodwork had to be hewdd away to free them. Most of the bodies yet unidentified are mangled, almost be- yond hope of recognition. BOTLERS DEFECTIVE. The boller which exploded, it is said, was regarded as unsafe. Commander Young stated that during thé recent re-| turn from Honelulu, the steam pressure was kept reduced in that particular boiler, When the explosion qceurred Engineer Nelson was inspecting; the bal ers as a preliminary to the vessel's Isav. ing port. He was not seriously injured. .Officers and men who were able to assist in the reseue acted-in a bravé and collected manner. . Pumps were manned | to keep ‘the water from. thé uppet com- partments, the magazine was flooded and men fought their way through the steam into the darkened hold to search for their comrades. In the worst . danger, and when it was feared the ship would $ihk before she could be beached, the young officers and men stuck manfully to thelr posts. Albert H. Ryan of this city, rowing near the ship at the time 01:3 accident, plunged into the water rescued several sailors.. 2 iog The ship's inner works are a tangled mass of machinery, and she probably will have to be dismantled in order to examine her injuries.
