TRAIN CREW GIVES TESTIMONY BLl FF9 IMPHESSES VISITORS Jack Pratt, According to Testimony, Mad to Active Part In the Throwing of Wallace from Train. The coroner Jury at the Inquest held yesterday afternoon over James Wallace recommended that Ben Sloan, who la al leged to have thrown Wallace from a Norlhwesiern passenger train Saturday night near Crescent City, be held for fur ther Investigation by the grand Jury. The Jury, composed of. O J. McManus, H. G. McGee ami D. S. Kerr, brought In the following verdict: "That said Wal lace came to his death from a fracture of the skull reoetved on the evening of May 22, and It further appears to us probable that said fracture was caused by one Sloan, and we recommend that said Sloan be held for further investigation by the grand Jury." Only five wltneeaesi were examined, W. C. BorraJl, engineer of the train from which Wallace la said to have been hurled to hia death by Sloan; O. J. Larson, fireman, Charles M. Petersen, head brakeraan, and Douls Wilding and W. A. Hough, members of the posse from Crescent which found Wallace's body by the railroad track at the Limekiln crossing. The testimony of the members of the train crew In no way implicated Jack Pyatt, who was placed under arrest at Missouri Valley, with Sloan, In being re sponsible for Wallace's death. He will, however, be held as a witness against Hloan. The testimony of Knglneer Sorrall and Fireman Larson was to the effect Sloan, Wallace and Pyatt boarded the train as It was leaving Council Bluffs. Pyatt waa rid ing the bumpers, while Wallace and Sloan climbed up on the lank of the tender. En gineer Sorrall aent the fireman back to tell the men to get off, but they refused to budge and as they Bald they only wanted to go as far as Missouri Valley, Sorrall decided to let them remain on condition that they got off when the train reached Missouri Valley. A short distance out cf Council Bluffs Fireman Larson saw Sloan and Wallace fighting. When the train had passed Cres cent City, Pyatt, who had been riding the bumpers, made his way to the engine cab and told Sorrall that one of the two men who had been fighting on the tank had thrown the other off, The engineer then stopped the train and after notifying the conductor started to back the train, Sloan and Pyatt got off and Sloan made an at tempt to get away, but was captured by Fireman Larson and Brakeman Petersen and placed in the baggage car. When the train reached Missouri Valley the two men were turned over to the custody of the city marshal, later being brought here. Wallace will njt be burled as a pauper, as Park Commissioner Graham and other Scotchmen will see to it that he receives a proper funeral. An Information charging Sloan wtth mur der In'the tlrst degree waa filed by County Attorney Hess IrT the court of Justice Cooper. Sloan will probably be arraigned some time today. Sloan and Pyatt were not present at the Inquest, bJt the former was represented by an attorney. President Brown I serf to Be Tele graph Operator Mere.
