Sheriff Smith of Sonoma county; has obtained damaging evidence against Henry Yamagachi through the confession exacted from Harry Missuvaa Japanese laundryman, near the Starbuck ranch, where the Kendall fa'mily was murdered. He will not at this time give out what he has learned from the man beyond the fact that his admission has strengthened the case they have "against the missing murderer. Missuva spent the night with Yamagachi when the murder is supposed to have been committed. He is known as a close friend pf the missing man. Such confessions as have been obtained from the new prisoner came after more than twenty hours' steady sweating.

Talks in good English, although often hesitating for the right word otherwise his conversation is rapid. When last seen wore a black check suit, black button shoes and black Derby hat. Yamagachi was a member of the Japanese Methodist Church of Oakland and iwas well known in He worked recently in San teandro and before that sold lots, he said, in Monterey Heights; to If as an accessory, of Yamagachi, the fugitive whom Tie harbored at his home the night after the murder must have been Committed. That robbery as well as vengeance might have been the motive for the crime is indicated by the fact that before his last visit to Cazadero Yamagachi borrowed'one dollar from Secretary Yoshida of the Japanese Association here and on his return a few days later gave the lender five dollars in gold. Bloody Ax Is Discovered A bloody ax was found today buried in the garden at the ranch.

District Attorney Lea regards the discovery of the ax as a direct substantiation of the storytold Mrs. Starbuck by Yamagachi, who declared oil his Visit to Oakland that Mrs. Kendall attacked him with an ax. Ralph Thompson, a local attorney, who was requested by the -Starbucks to investigate the story told by Yamagachi, admitted today that he made only the most cursory inquiry as to the reported disappearance, and when he found that ho crime had been reported from that district informed his client that there was no foundation for the story told by the Japanese.
