Deputy Sheriffs Beebe and Roberts say they know the identity of the murderers and their motive. Three persons are under surveillance ig The inquest began this afternoon.

I wanted to go down and see who they were. Mother told me I'd bet+ ter not, and that she guessed papa was yelling at a cow. Pretty soon I heard some more noise and it sounded like ara fight, so I told mamma again, and she ran down to see what — the trouble was.” The deputies are puzzled. They doubt that the boy, om the porch, could have heard voices at the barn, because of, 2 the distance. On the other hand, Wilhelm tells the same. story whenever questioned Mrs. Werner says she barn and -disappear.She was dound da. side the mutilated body of her husband suicide. Today Mrs. Werner still suffers from shock. “Why should I want to live, now that Henry is gone, and ¢ looks wrong?” she asked. “All our plans amount to nothing. There is no more joy in life me. And my poor little children! What is to become of them, that they have no father?” There was a look of nervous dread in her eyes. tha, COME TO ASK HER QUESTIONS ae Three little tots crowded around the mother and looked on Wome ~ deringly. It was an unhappy scene in the kitchen of the gloomy little home of the woods. “It seems to me everybody is trying to make it just as hard be they can,” said the woman “Every day some one comes out here to ask me all sorts of weak tions. It’s bad enough as it ts, without making me feel worse. “It ain't safe to live around here any more. So many thieves an@ scoundrels running around loose in the country. I'm scared all the 7 time.

She was too weak to bake and was forced to remain at home. Neighbors from the bil! lands went into the little town, where every one is talking of the murder and the possibility of a starting arrest as soon as officials finish their investigation ‘The inquest began at noon today, at the undertaking rooms of HU Fisher, deputy coroner. Early this morning ranchers came into towm, eager to hear the latest developments. ‘ ASK WITNESSES ABOUT THREATS . More than 15 witnesses who have been questioned by Deputy Sherif Roberts and Deputy Prosecutor Edgar J. Wright were in attendance when the formal questioning began. , a It was the intention of officials to get the various stories of threats against Werner in sworn testimony before acting further. Although still suffering from hysteria, Mrs. Werner was requested to appear as a witness, Her attempt at suicide, following her husband’ — death, has added to her weakened condition. Officials not only asked about threats said to have been made against Werner by his neighbors, but questioned as well the distressed fe as to reports that she and Werner quarreled bitterly about two weeks ago.
