Look Skeptically at Grew

MISSING ORIENTAL "NICE
CHARACTER," SAY FRIENDS
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
GAZADERO, Aug. 7.— Four Jap
anese, countrymen of Henry
Yamaguchi, who is accused o£
the annihilation of the Kendall family
on their mountain ranch, visitetl the
scene of the murder today, looked
skeptically at the particles of human
bones lying about the dooryard and
declared Yamaguchi guiltless. ,
"Why do you think Yamaguchi -ia
innocent of murder?" 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.
Curious Invade Ranch
The lonely little .meadow in which
the Kendall house is located was vis
ited 4 by r many curious folks today.
Nearly; every -passerby on the road
turned off at the; Kendall place and
drove! down the steep canyonside to
the peaceful cottage. Coroner and
Public --Administrator Frank L. Black
burn had posted a notice warning the
public not to trespass on the. premises.
,E::EJ Trosper, constable for the town
ship, has been appointed custodian.
But the notice did not deter the visitors
from overrunning the yard, gazing : at
blackened spots of earth where the
bodies might or might not have been
burned and picking out of ash heaps
bits df'bon^s and particles of clothing,
a tin shoe lace eye or an overall button.
.. . The ; Japanese came over -from Santa
Rosa about noon. They drove out- to
the .place/ Whila there has been about
Cazadero j the :most intense feeling
