wF v%?? S HOLDS I >'QUE ST ft Inqniry Into Death of Clyde Isenhower pr ?Hear Many Witnesses. wannsDoro, June 6V.? me coroner s m % inquest was held here today in the I court house over the body of Clyde Isenhower, who was fatally wounded on June 14 when Sheriff Hood and W <^is deputies were fired upon 'by members of the Isenhower family and immediate relatives and friends while leading the negro prisoner, Jules Smith up the stairs of the court house. W Dr. Jas. S. Beatty, a physician, was W the first witness. He described toe | wounds of the deceased Isenhower. There were 13 entrances and exits made by pistol snots. Dr. Beatfcy as* serted that he saw Sheriff Hood shoot ' once. W. T. Rains and R. C. Stevensor/ B were nearly corroborative of each ^ otfier in their evidence. Both were & in the sheriff's office when the shootHfting commenced and heard C'lyde Isen,\hower say, "I have been shot and shot to (pieces by Sheriff Hood." Rains said lie asked Isenhower, who stumbled in the sheriff's office in a dying condition, what had become of the negro and Isenhower replied, "He must be dead." J. M. Stone, one of tf:e deputies "who was slightly wounded in the affray, swore he saw Olyde Isenhower . push his pistol between the balusters ^of the stairway -leading up to the court fcouse door and fire. Meanwhile Sheriff Hood warned Isen, hower three or four times to desist. I He paid no attention to the officer's plea, but opened fire, said Stone. Testimony relative to Ernest Isen bower's part in the tragedy was in troduced when W. L. Dickey, bookHkeeper at the Fairfield cotton mills, ^Wttestified that fee saw Isenhower shoot his pistol four or five times. 2B. F. Keflley, the second of the deputies examined, said the fusillade B was opened with the exclamation by one of the attacking party, "Pour I it in them," evidently referring to Hifce negro, the witness thought, and ^Clyde Isenhower 'began firing. At the B^nsame time Sheriff Hood exclaimed, | "No, you won't." Kelley was wounded in the thumb and arm, the latter I hurt rendering his arm useless. Two mill operatives, P. C. Burly and Charles W. iPearson, testified, but I their testimony was onl<y a mere state^^ment tf:at they saw the shooting. ^Pearson and Burly concluded their ^^festimony with the addition that they did not know any of the participants in tne snooting. Tney did not see I Sheriff Hood. Sensational evidence was brought I out in the examination of Rural Po liceman Austin Scott which tended to show that the affair was partly premeditated. Policeman Scott said that Clyde Isenhower, Jesse Morrison Kid Ernest Isenhower followed the j IBL :*e>_ il . _j. j. A_ . I I s posse across me street to me ^^coiirt house. Several times, said ^^cott, the dead Isenhower attempted f to get in front of the party but was pushed back. (When Sheriff Hoodj B and his crowd reached the landing j I : of tfce stairs he tried to force his --vway ahead again, but was shoved I back once more. That Clyde Isenhower fired the sec onn snot or tne tragedy was asserted on the eaxmination of George Ha good, a farmer. Mr. Hogood said he did not know who fired tbe open ing shot, hut the sheriff returned the fire from Isenhower's pistol which was protruding through the balusters kof the stairway. Judge W. L. Holley Bind Deputy J. C. Joyner testified. Bfothing but a duplication of the story ^of the killing was given by the two except that Mr. Joyner said his fellow I rfAmitv RoAlrhom hif aifti lifo K uvpui-j ) JL/VV/n OCV * V u Uio V "li AilV "witfa the plea, "I am shot; I can't do lany harm." n The inquest adjourned at 6 o'clock.

Continued Zapata success in resisti ing the entry of Carranza troops into the city has deadlocked operations in the south, while in the vicinity of Aguscalientes Gen. (Villa claims to have retaken Lagos and defeated Gen. Hill, who suceeded Obregon in active command of the Carranza forces. Carranza officials, however, declare their troops are having continuous success. Efforts to restore peace wait to some extent upon tf:e return here of Piesident Wilson, although the out-' come of the military situation in the next few weeks will have an important bearing on the problem. Many Villa leaders are in Washington and their group will be aug- i mented by the early arrival of Miguel Diaz Lombardo, Villa's foreign minister. Gen. Felipe Angeles, another Villa leader,, will participate in conferences to be held fa ere. GE>\ PORFIRIO DIAZ DEAD Former President of Mexico Passes Away in Paris?Rnled Mexicans 35 Yefars.

Diaz began to fail rapidly about three weeks ago and, while his death was not unexpected, owing to advanced age and recent failing health, tfce crisis came suddenly this afternoon. Porfirio Diaz, Jr., and his wife were hastily summoned and arrived at the bedside only a few moments before the end, which came at 7 o'clock tonight. ICol. Diaz in announcing the death of ( his fati':er said that he was unable, to state the nature of the trouble, but! pxnresseri thA nninimi that a C0mt)li-1 nation of diseases, due to advanced at'e, was the cause. Two tragic circumstances marked the death of the exiled ruler. Owing to the troubled state in Mexico it has been judged impossible to send the body home witJi all that ceremony which would have befitted one of his figure in American history, and fur- . ther. Col. (Porfirio Diaz, Jr., has tried in vain to inform his sisters, Senora Ignacio De Latorre and Senora Rincon Callardo, now in Mexico, of their father's death. They Had All Left Him.
