M. Wakao, edi tor of the Japanese American of San Francisco was asked. "Because he is a nice character/* replied the Japanese. "But why does he stay in hiding if he is innocent?" "We would like to know that, too,** the Japanese answered. . . : " Members of Party^^^ 4 ' , \u25a0 ' \u25a0 S'- .'\u25a0'\u25a0- r \u25a0 -" The other Japanese in the party were F. H. Hirano, editor of the Jap anese New World of San Francisco; F s Yoshido, secretary of the Japanese association of Santa Posa, to which Yamaguchi belonged, and \V. K. Hyama, who came as interpreter. M. Kameda, a local Japanese, accom panied the party to the Kendall place. While the Japanese were there the posse that had been out in the hill 3 all morning returned to housa with a few more ghastly relics of the dead, a handful of bones, including a bit of the skull about the size of the palm of a man's hand. These frag ments of the Kendalls were found in the canyon about a mile from the house and in the same ravine in which were found the torso of Mr^. Kendall and the upper teeth of Tom Kendall. Later these bones were stolen by a party of autoists who were traveling in a red touring car. It may be that the' fact of the three deaths can only be established legally by the triplicate of certain bones. Therefore the au thorities are making a vigorous search for the miscreants. The bones taken were a bit of the skull, a portion of the shoulder blade and a hip bone. The party consisted of two men and two women and a girl. They said they were from Spo kane. Wash. I A boy was at the place and saw the people take some of the bones of the Kendalls. The bones are considered indispensable in estimating the num ber of individual remains found at the, ranch. When the theft of the grewsome relics was discovered, Arthur Trosper telephoned the fact to Sheriff Smith and to the county constables, explain ing the importance of the ghastly loot.
