San Francisco, July 10. While Police
Sergeant Arthur- D. Layne- was examin
ing'' the German revolver that waa the
agent of death for Mrs, Lorena De la
Montariya, ' at tha, inquest today.' tha
weapon was accidentally " discharged.
The bullet crashed through, the celling
and the sergeant dropped the fun . to
we noor anu- stooa agnast.
Tha ase with which the gun . was
fired. has trlven rise to the theory that
is advanced by Mrs, W. H. Patton, who
was in Mrs. Montanya's apartment
when the fatal shot waa fired, that the
woman - was examining 'the peculiar
weapon and ' accidentally nressed ths
trigger, sending a bullet into her brain.
Airs. ie - la Montanya, Mrs. fatton,
R. Q. Hanford, a wealthy mining man,
and Charles O. AVhlttemore, a Ios An
gsles railroad magnate, were spending
the. evening of July 3 In Mrs. De la
Montanya's apartments. Hanford - had
a small German pistol In his pocket
and when afked 'to mix cocktails for
tne party, laid tne gun on a table, at
the same time ' Instructing; his hostess
not to. touch tha weapon. He turned
away from her and almost at tha same
instant a shot waa heard and Mrs. De
la Montanya -fell over, with a bullet
hole -in ; her r temple. The question
whether she committed suicide or killed
herself accidentally litis been a puazls
to tha police. . . .
Mrs. Patton's Tbaory. '
Mrs. Patton at the Inquest today
summarily dismissed the Idea that Mrs.
De la Montanya committed suicide, on
the unique ground that had she In
tended to kill herself she never won M
have marred her beauty, of which she
was very proud, by firing a bullet Into
her head.
When Mrs. Patton reached thla rt
of her narrative, she turned to las
jury ana earnestly said: -
."Mrs. De la Montunva iat mon-v Iff.
