JESSE BLUNT
A MAN
ON THE COAST
While on Guard Had Ordered Man
to Halt and Failing; to Receive
Any Reply Shoots and
Kills the Man.
Frorn Tuesday's ltily.
Jesse F. Blunt shot and killed a
man at San Pedro, near Los Angeles,
a week ago last Friday, as is explain
ed in the following clipped from a
California paper. Mr. Blunt, in the
early spring enlisted, and was allot
ted to coast artilery, being assigned
to work near Los Angeles, where the
instance occurred, which is related
below:
"The most unusual ami most baffl
ing murder mystery in San Pedro,
was unravelled today with startling
results when it was discovered that
Roy George Stull, whose dead body
was found here Sunday morning with
two bullet holes in his head and body
was shot Friday night in the act of
trying to reach the girnt government
searchlight on Headman's Island, and
was no murdered by criminals with
intent to rob.
Fifty feet of dynamite- fuse was
found cached near the jetly nortn
east of Deudman's Island this after
noon near where Stull was shot and
tiie police are now working on the
theory that Stull was a foreign spy
attempting to destroy the searchlight
and other government apparatus on
Headman's Island, including the
shore batteries.
"Jesse Blunt, a sentry on
reservation at Headman's Island
the
ad-
mitted today be fired four times up
on an intruder Friday nigiit at J::'
o'clock. Blunt was on guard du,t'
when ne espied the intruder stand
ing alongside the searchlight.
When the latter saw Blunt he
took to his heels running a short
distance to the jetty. Blunt cried
out to the man to halt, but he re
fused and as he climbed to the top
of the jetty the sentry opened fire
with nis ort-calibre Springfield rifle.
At the tiring of the first shot the
intruder threw tip his arms and fell
but regained his footing on the slip
pery rocks and continued up the
jetty. -
"Blunt fired laur times in all. the
second and third sbotj missing lire,
but the fourth shot found its mark
at a distance of over one hundred
yards. The intruder fell and was
seen no more, undoubtedly falling
into the water and being vrasned
avi'.y by the current. Other sol
diers hurriedly Searched all sur
rounding territory, bni not trace was
found of the man.
"The searchlight lmd not been
damaged but two large stones which
could have been used as weapons
were found at the base of. the light,
whicn had not been there at the last
previous visit of the sentry.
"Police Detectives M. Ralph Bo we
and Joe Taylor who unravelled the
mystery believe that Stull lurked in
the vicinity of the batteries since the
time he disappeared on July 22nd.
They also believe that Stull cached
the dynamite fuses there to use in a
plot against the works on Headman's
Island. Efforts are now. being made
to trace Stull's whereabouts from the
time he disappeared on July 27.
"Toe body was positively identi
fied as that of Roy George Stull. of
Calexico. by H. Fierr of El t'eniro,
who arrived lure yesterday. The
decedent h;s a brother, ('has. Stull.
in North Yakima. Washington, and
a sister. Mrs. Charles Neff, of Bur
lington. Iowa.
The discovery of twelve feet of
dynamite fuse on the beach near the
sand battery, of Los Angeles harbor,
was reported to the harbor police
yesterday by Private Jesse F. Blunt,
of the Coast Artillery. The fuse was
traced to its end. but no explosives
were found near and Lite, police be
lieve that the fuse was buried has
tily when some guard approached.
"Blunt, yesterday faced a military
court of inquiry investigating the
death of Roy George Stull. who was
shot by a sentry at the Band battery
one week ago last Friday and whose
body rvas found last Sunday morn
ing. 'Stull was shot while prowling
around the searchlight and after he
refused to answer the hail of Pri
vate Blunt.
"Officers and 'non-coms' of the bat
tery did not know that the sentry
had hit anyone when he fired at the
prowler until after the finding of the
bod' several days later.' The board
'of inquiry was composed of Lieuten
.ants Marriott and Stewart and Sur
geon Howell. Their findings will be
j transmitted to the War Department
