After Deah Poup’s death Wednesday, Judge Lucas swore in the following coroners jury: H. H. Betts, E. B. Chase, R. Black, P. B. Lady, J. N. Warner and J. B. Card. The Mexi- can who had been identified by Quin Sing, was brought into the room with about a dozen others. Sing immediately picked him out from among them. After an investigation into all facts obtainable, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that Deah Poup came to his death by blows on the head by some sharp instrument in the hands of Rafael Traevior, who was con- fined to jail to await the action of the grand jury. One other Mexican prisoner is also held in custody until further evidence can be secured.
