He reiterated reiter-ated the statement, however, that he had made a few moments after his arrest on last Friday to the effect that the shooting took place about twenty minutes before he made his appearance ot the police station and gave himself un to the officers. Gun Hd Three Empty Chambers. According to the story told by Kaw- i shata. when he made his appearance at the police headquarters at 10 o'clock last Friday morning, he had shot a , man a few moments before at the j Japanese rooming house on Twenty-fourth Twenty-fourth street He said that the shoot ins had taken pleo in the kitchen of the house and that Okono bail shot at him before he was able to wrest ! away the revolver and lire the fatal shot thai felled his assailant to the ! floor, lie brought with him a revolv er. with which he claimed the shoft- t tug hail been done.

Kawshata sprang niton nit-on him as soon as he drew his rexolv-er, rexolv-er, striking his arm in time to save himself from the bullet which Okono j fired. In the scuffle which followed ! Okono again fired and then Kawshata got possession of the gun nnd shot I his assailant. The quarrel which caused this shooting affair was due to : an argument over the Japanese-American wrestling match held the night befoie in the Ogdcn armory. This Is the story which will be tol I by tho prisoner at the Inquest to Justify the killing of his countryman-Had countryman-Had Been Dead for Two Hours. Tho circumstances surrounding the case will not bear out thl-; story. The slate may first attack the statement of Kawshata that the shooting took place immediately before his arrival at the police station. Herbert Hlggans. the assistant undertaker at the Larkln establishment, took charge of the dead man about thirty minutes after the supposed time of the shooting. Hig-gans Hig-gans stales that the body was then cold and rltrid and that the great mass of blood that had flowed from the wound In th head had congealed upon the floor. According to the undertaker's undertak-er's statement the man ha 1 been dead for at least two hours. This is Hlg- i pan's conservative estimate of the I time required for the coagulot h n of I the blood on the floor and about the wound and for the cooling and stiffen- ing of the corpse. This 1 onleni Ion ot Hlggans is borne out -by the statement of E. A. .j.arkin. Did Not Hear Any Shots t A tinner who was at work on tho roof of the adjoining house has stated that he was at work for two hours previous to the discovery of the body-by body-by the police and heard no shuts fired, one of the Japs rooming In tho house slates that he heard shooting, but that it was nuch earlier in the morning. morn-ing. There Is apparently sufficient evidence lo prove that the stunting did not occur later than 7:3o Friday iiHrnin2, two hours earlier than the lime stated by Kawshata. Detective Pender's View. D'-tectlo Pender fixes the hour of tin- (-hooting soni' what later than the uaderUker and is not positive that 1 in the small room where tho shooting occurred? These will be hard questions ques-tions for the defense to answer. Believe Shot Was Fired From Rear. Friends of Okono, who hold to tho murder theory, believe that there was but one shot fired at the time of the man's death. This shot, tbey say. was fired from the rear and killed Okono without giving him a chance for his life. They claim that, had there been a struggle, there would have been evidence of it in the room of death. Okono's clothes would have been disheveled Nothing was found disturbed dis-turbed In the room and the dead man's clothes showed no signs of a struggle. strug-gle. It is contended that Kawshala and others concocted the plot to murder Okono for his valuables and that after he had been shot In cold blood the discharged cartridge and two others were taken from the gun by tho assassins as-sassins and the gun carried by Kawshala Kaw-shala to the polk-e station. The same, friends of the dead man explain the mystery of the ring being on the wrong linger by the theory that in the I excitement of the murderers after the deed, having taken the siftnet ring off in order to steal the diamonds they replaced it upon the wrong finger. Wife Retains an Attorney. That the ring was on a different finger than where it was usually worn is evidenced, not only by the statements state-ments of Mrs Okono and the man who accompanied her. but by a telltale tell-tale mark upon the third fluger. A mark made by the long wearing of the ring on this particular digit. So confident Is Mrs. Okono that her husband was murdered, she has retained re-tained Attorney Badger to assist the local authorities in prosecuting the case against Kawshala. J I BELIEVE JAP WAS FOULLY MURDERED (Continued From Pago One.) ring on the middle finger and he never wore It with the letter 'K' turned that way." Mr. Larkin informed the woman that the ring had not becu taken from the hand and that when the body was fouud the gold circlet, was just as it was then. Mrs. Okono started Diamond Rings Gone. "But what about tho two diamond rings that he wore?" she asked. They were mine and he wore them both on the same linger back of th ?i.:net. Ho wore them when he loft Sail Lake." Tho undertaker explained that there were no rings on his fingers other than the signet when the body was found. The woman then stated that there was also a diamond stud that should be with Iho shirt. This v,as missing when the boy was taken in charge by the police. According to the wife the F.lud was worth $3T.O and tho two rings $2.10 Did Not. Bare Bad Reputation. Salt Lake investigation does not show that tho dead man bore a criminal crimi-nal character, as his slayer contends, it has been learned that Okono was tho president of the Toyo Kyoshin club, which has rooms at 22 1-2 Commercial Com-mercial sireel The secretary of this club, K. T. Okohlra came to Ogdn in company with Mrs. Okono and also made Inquiries of the undertaker and the police rugardine the dond man's diamonds Both these visitors staled that Okono was accustomed to carrying carry-ing large sums of money with him and were loath to believe that he would have allowtd his pocket money to dwindle down to $3.50, which was found upon the body of the corpse. Picture of Dead Man's Hand. When the body was taken to Salt Take City the wife had a photograph taken of the hand which bore the sig net ring.
