W. U'Ren declared. Coroner U'Ren and Deputy Coroner K. P. Doyle will confer this morning with a brother of Jewitt, E.

C. Jewitt of Los Angeles. A definite decision on an inquest will be reached at that time.

Mrs. Jewitt's body, her skull crushed from a blow with a hammer and her throat slashed with a razor, was found lying in the back yard of the Jewitt home on Whit-tram street shortly after 7 a. m. by George Mcllwaine, a newspaper carrier. Terrified, he spread the alarm.

Contable T. C. McDonald, who investigated, found Jewitt'g body in the house. His own throat had been slashed with a razor and he had shot himself through the head with a shotgun. Aa authorities reconstructed the tragedy, Jewitt apparently slashed his wife's throat as ahe lay In bed.

Train Tragedy Says Coroner's Jury but Mystery Is Not Cleared Up Although a coroner's jury yesterday returned a verdict of "accidental death" In the case of A. B. Owens, San Bernardino pharmacist, who was struck by a Union Pacific passenger train near Eleventh and I streets early Monday morning, the mystery of his death Is still unsolved. Prior to the Inquest, county authorities investigated three theories as to the cause of death, Including accident, suicide and homicide.

FIREMAN TESTIFIES Clarence E. Kline of Los Angeles, fireman of the train and one of the witnesses called at the inquest, held at the Mark B. Shaw testified that during the brief Instant he saw him, lying across the track, "Owens remained perfectly still." Testimony also revealed the presence of a "mystery car," although the coroner's jury apparently attached no significance to it. Charles E. Keyes of Los Angeles, engineer of the train, testified that he saw the machine.

"The car was either parked or moving very slowly when I first saw it," he said. "It was headed south on I street at a point almost opposite the spot where Owens lay. "I thought the motorist might try to cross the track at the Eleventh street crossing in front of the train, so I watched him closely and blew the whistle. "It was then I heard the fireman shout to me 'there is a man on the and I put on the emergency brake. I think the machine continued down I street." Fireman Kline said he saw Owens on the track, but couldn't discern that the object was a man until it was too late.

NO POISON "I thought It was a sack," he declared. "We had orders when we left Los Angeles to watch out for debris on the tracks because of a high wind." Dr. Louisa H. Bacon, pathologist at the county hospital, who ex amined Owens, was questioned closely concerning poison. She said the stomach content, however, failed to disclose poison "There was evidence of alcohol," Dr.

Bacon stated. "I don't think there was enough to cause him to be Intoxicated, however." In beginning her examination of the body, Dr. Bacon said she detected a strong odor of what she be lieved was cyanide. The analysis failed to reveal the poison In the body, however. Dr.

Bacon said a gallon can found near the scene of the accident contained kerosene and that a prescription bottle, also found there, contained a "poor grade of alcohol." SON TESTIFIES The Inquest was conducted by Deputy Coroner E. P. Doyle. Other witnesses include Lewis A. Owens, 1996 Mountain View avenue, son of the dead man, and George Pickett and M.
