MURDERER IS STILL AT Coroner's Jury Reaches Verdict That Smith Came to His Death at Hands of Julian A. Mock Do Not Comment on PremedltaMon Mrc. Mock Cool and Collected. t ' 4. 9 J. A. Mock, slayer of Jesse C. Smith, Is still at largo. The sheriff and his posso aro believed to hav no traco of the fugitive. But llttlo word has' .been received from them today. A man telephoned to Sheriff Jones Into Inst night nnd told him that Mock was surrounded In a cabin at tho Sterling mine. Tho sheriff on receipt of the message left with four mon for tho scene. After waiting around tho cabin ail night daybreak rovealed ,thnt tho bird either had flown or had never been there. Tho Ecarch Is being prosecuted with all diligence , A verdict was reached, today by tho coroner's Jury holdlninm-lnquest over the body of Tessc C 8mlth to tho effect that the victim came to his death ut the hands of ono Julian A. Mock on tho evening oT September 20. There wns no decision given by the Jury as to whether tho crlmo was premeditated. Mrs. Julian Mock, tho 18-year-old girl wife of Mock, tho murderor, was calm and collected throughout the Investigation. Sho mnlatalned that her husband's crime wns not premed itated. Considering tho circumstances under which tho young woman tes tified, her nbsoluto freedom from nervousness and emotion was extra ordinary. Only onco did Mrs. Mock lot her tomper loose In connection with tho namo of tho murdered man nnd thnt was when she said: "My husband treated Josso Smith llko a gontlomnn and ho treated -my hus band liko a dog." Much testimony was presented sup porting tho chnrgo that tho crlmo was cold-blooded, premeditated mur der. Llttlo Mary Martin, daughter of David Mnrtin, ono of tho eye-witnesses of the tragedy, testified that sho had scon Mr. Mock sharpening his knlfo on tho afternoon before tho murder. Mrs. Mnrtin stated that Mock, ns ho came out of tho ..house utter killing Smith, said: "I have donot what I told my wlfo I -would do." Mnrtin and McMullcn, tho two men present nt tho murder, -said that Mock's actions woro such nB to show a carefully laid plan. Theso two wit nesses bellovo that ho carried his knlfo open in his pockot. Mrs, Mock has been under guard at tho Palaco hotel slnco tho crlmo, but now that tho Investigation is over will bo granted her liberty. It wns thought for a time that she would bo hold ns an accomplice, but It wnB tho'iioIlof of tho coronor that sho was entirely unawaro of tho crlmo premeditated by hor husband. Tho'1 bohnvlor of Mrs. Mock Is quite re markable, Sho was laughing and (milling whllo talking with hor guard, while, tho coroner nnd Jury woro form ing their vordict. Either sho fools that hor husband is snfo from nrrost or sho possosses n poronallty and con stitution which rofusos to ylold to worry and oxcltomont. Thoro hns beon no word rocolvod from tho dead man's sister in Rhodo Island. Smith had no monoy at-tho timo of his death and vory fow ef fects. Ho had no causo to worry, ns to a livelihood, ns ho rocolvod n $24 pension from tho government each month on account of wounds ho had rocolvod In tho Philippines, A storo that always advortlsos is supposed to always hnvo something! spoclnl and Important to offer.

"After his apparent recovery. May or Gaynor expressed the hope that his Illness would make a better man of him. Many others entertained the same hope, but unfortunately his ex perience did not abnte his evil tem per or his lying tongue.
