Horan's left nana, 'inoy said trial uoran was right-handed. . his law part ner. Claude .-McColloch. stated Horan was not In the habit of , carrying a gun, and Deputy Dis trict Attorney D. E. Van Vector aald the . possibility - tnat ootn runs came from a ' drawer In Manning's desk -was being thor oughly studied. - QuOr Hit By Ballets Bearing out Manning's self defense story were two bullet . holes.- one In the back of Man ntng'a high-backed, red leather chair, and the other In a book cats behind the chair. The two - attorneys presumably bad been In conversation serosa Mannlng'a ' desk, with Manning occupying the high-backed chair and Horan sit ting in a smaller, straight chair In front of and at the end of the dank. -. '.---. Two empty shells were found In each gun.- Officers said that their Investigation was turning -upon, the question of ownersnip of the gun and the part it played , In the shooting. Inquest at 8:00 Today , Tit. Oeorea H. Adler. coroner. called an Inquest at o'clock at the Whltlock parlors. He as nonnced the names of the Jurors as: Claude Davis, Ed Vanntce, Webb Kennett, A. G. Goehrlng, L. Hendricks and Charles La folnte. Important information regard ing the case was expected to come from the Inquest, including possibly the report of Dr. C. V. Ruga and Dr. Adler on the autopsy conducted late in the night.- The surgeons found one bullet had pierced Horan's heart and lung, passing out the back, and the other had ahattered his right arm. i ney ionno m Bey ond bullet lodged under the col lar bone. ' They also examined the contents of Horan's stomach. Horan at Agency The officers were continuing an extensive investigation of all elrcumBtancea surrounding and feeding np to the shooting. Horan had. on Monday after- Boon, returned from Klamath Agency, where he took Mrs. Horan from the Klamath Valley hospital. . Mrs. Horan had been recuperating from a recent crit ical operation. It is understood Horan remained with Mrs. Horan at tbe home of her parents at Klamath . Agency over Sunday Bight. . Manning had been at or near Bis .office Monday afternoon. Gillenwaters had conversed with the veteran criminal lawyer abont 4 o'clock, and had sought to talk him into accompanying a party of local republicans to the Lincoln day banquet at Med ford. Manning had finally re fused to go. About S o'clock, lie had talked briefly with Orth ' Blsemore, Gillenwaters' associate, In the Glllenwatcrs-Sisemora of fice Just down the hall from the offices of Manning and his asso ciate, Don P. Hamlin. Manning Bends Message Claude McColloch, Horan's as- sociate, said Horan called him at bis borne at about 6:30 or o'clock In regard to a message Manning had sent to tha Horan- McColloch office earlier In the day. He said Horan said ' be would drop over and talk to Manning and then would call at tbe McColloch home. Thus the two lawyers, one time partners In the firm of Manning, McColloch, Drlscoll and Horan, were brought together at Manning's office, probably around 6 ,0 Clock. : . V At 6: IS o clock, the county Jail telephone rang and Deputy Bherirt- McMillan answered. McMillan said Manning told him: Ralph and I ' have bad an argument, and . there has keen some shooting, lie took a cou ple of shots at me and I shot him. I'm afraid he's dead." Gun Given I'd McMillan said he refused at first to believe what he had heard. Convinced, he telephoned Walker and Van Vactor and they went to Manning's office. Manning came to the door of the anteroom and unlocked it He handed Van Vactor a gun he took from his pocket, and re mained in the outer room .while the officers went into the inner office, to study the, rltuation there. The officers said Manning ap parently ' had called Mrs. Man ning before calling the county jail. She came' while the offi cers. Including Sheriff Low, were still at the office with Manning. They conversed ;. briefly in the presence of officers. Manning ex plaining the situation to nis wite In approximately the same man ner In which he had informed McMillan of the shooting s. over the telephone. In the inner omce, uoran s body lay stretched face down ward. One - toot was under the chair at the end ot the . desk, and the other under the table. There was no blood. . Officers said Manning also had called Earl Whltlock. local undertaker. . After Horan's body had been outlined on tbe linoleum floor ot the office, it waa removed to the Whltlock parlors. Scene Photographed Deputy Sheriff McMillan took numerous pictures of the office interior, and measurements were taken and diagrams made. Sheriff Lloyd Low took Man ning to the county Jail. . ' There he was . interviewed later by At torney William Ganong, with whom Manning at one time practiced. Manning told officers Tuesday morning that he had slept little in the night, but had gotten some rest. ' He ate- a good breakfast of bacon and eggs, ac cording to McMillan. Ganong talked briefly to alan ine again Tuesday morning. He said the attorney waa in fair- good spirits. ' Ganong said he had not gone into the facta ot the case with Manning. He said he did not know who would rep resent Manning In a legal capacity. Background Mystery The officers sought Tuesday afternoon to discover it any one heard the shots fired ; at Man ning's office. . Persons living in nearby apartments were ques tioned. The McCarthy apartments are across the alloy from the Under wood building office. The emotional background ot the apparent dlsputo was largely a matter of conjecture. Friends said they knew ot no lmmedl' ate cause ot feeling between Hor an and Manning, and McColloch aald he supposed the late after noon appointment was nioroly over a routine legal matter, tinuona Silent A case known to be pending between Manning's and Horan's offices was that ot Kugene S, Kelly versus the Southern Oregon Publishing company, but there waa known to be no develop ments in this mailer, and noth ing that might bare led to the Bhootlng. The former association ot tho attorneys lu the law firm here was also studied speculatively lu search ot a motive for the diffi culty that apparently arose at tbe conference. City police officers at the Man ning office undertook to re-enact the shooting .Monday night, to determlno the feasibility ot Maiir nlng's story. In answer to a question by The Herald, Ganong said he had no formal statement to make. Such a statement was mndo early Tues day by McColloch. It follows: McColloch's Statement "Ralph Horan's wife has been gravely ill for nearly two weeks from an emergency operation. 'Kalph took his wife from the hospital Sunday afternoon and drove to the Agency where Mrs. Horan was to remain with her parents during convalescence. I was at our office nearly all day Monday, but did not expect Ralph hack at any certain time. "He called me at my home about 6:30 or 6 to ask about a phone call from Manning which was on bis desk. He asked what It was about and I told him I didn't know. I supposed about some case. Manning had called me during the morning and had asked to have Horan call him. I urged Ralph to come to my housethat I had been in con ference during tbe day on an Im portant matter and wanted him to know abont It. ' He said he already had answered Manning's call and had told Manning he would come by bis office for a tew minutes and after that he wonld come by my house. The next I heard was about 8:00 o'clock when Attorney Ga nong called and said Ralph had been shot and killed. I understood a revolver was found near Ralph's hand. never knew him to carry a re volver or to have any reason for carrying one and I don't believe he had a revolver on bis person when he was killed. "Horan went to Manning's of fice at Manning s request, com municated through me, so far as I know on a purely routine mat ter ot business, and bis intention was. after spending a few min utes with Manning on whatever business Manning had calledtblm for, to go to his own home tor dinner, seeing me first briefly. "During Mrs. Horan s absence at the Agency, Ralph's mother was looking after his two small cbldren at the Horan home on Auburn street." The shooting was a closely guarded secret among a few of ficers for approximately two hours. About 8:30 o'clock, tbe tartllng news slipped ont, and tbe prominence of the two fig ures involved and the sensational features of the Incident sent It running like wild-lire over the city. Mrs. Horan waa informed at the Agency Monday;, night, and was brought to Klnuuith Fulls Tuesday. . Mrs. Manning was with her brother-in-law, Howard 1'errln after the shooting Monday nlnlit. It Is understood Mrs. Perrln left for Seattle with Horace, Jr., son ot Mr. and Mrs. Muunlng.

It was carried, and for the second time In a week such an Impasse had forced the leaders to aban don their plans.

The shelling ot the 34,000,000 structure was only one cornor ot the aspoct ot Austria today, while the forces ot Chancellor Englebert Dolltuss struggled through bloody streota to put down the rebellion of the social ist party. Apparently at least 200- have been killed outside Vienna." Battles raged at Steyr, Oras and Llns, aa woll as Vienna. At Etoyr, sharp fighting broke out again early this morning when socialists stationed machine guns on top a hill commanding the town. Munitions Taken Ov Other forces of socialists wero In possession ot tho great war time munitions plant. Govern ment forces charged tbe plant re peatedly In a desperate attempt to take the position. Men fell, dead and wounded. but there was no time nor op portunity to count the casualties. The battle at the Karl Marx building was as horrible as somo ot the veterans who fought had seen In the days of the world war. Machine guns biased from the windows of the 'homes of labor ers at tho soldiers who sought to enter.
