DEMON OF THE DESERT
kHELD FOR TRIAL ON A CHARGE
OF BURGLARY
I'HANC0CK AND HIS MISTRESS
Meet in the Justices Court at Fuller
ton-A Former Pal Accused
by Hancock

- FULLERTON, Nov. 2l-John q
Hancock, the alleged demon of the Z
desert, and Charles Knox, the man Z
upon whom he has turned as his form Z
er associate in crime of lighter sort, Z
were brought here from Santa Ara Z
this morning and examined by Justice q
johnson on charge of burglary. Z
Mrs. Winifred Gross, formerly Han q
. cocks mistress, and Mrs. Herbert Car 9
ter, the wife of another man whom Z
Hancock accuses as having been his =
partner in the chicken stealing indus Q
. try, were the principal witnesses. .
The meeting between Hancock and .
his former companion, upon whose evil .
dence he will shortly be arraigned for .
bloody double murder, was essen Q
TALLY dramatic. Mrs Gross, who so q
Q long lived with Hancock after, accord Q
ing to her story, his hands had been so .
horribly stained with blood, did not q
finch from the meeting. Hancock had Q
kicked her, had abused her shamefully .
and the man Gross, who was willing to .
make her his wife. Her former master Q
was now IN her hands, and with .
the aid of the law, was on the verge of .
fearful punishment, that only her Q
silence could have averted. .
Hancock, on the other hand, was ST. Q
lent, sullen, but equally vengeful This .
woman had been his undoing. Could q
. he not undo her? Every effort since q
his arrest has been in this direction. Z
tie has endeavored by all means q
within his power to impiicate his form G
er mistress in the series of less gross .
crimes to which he has confessed. His 9
former henchmen, Knox and Carter. .
have also been drawn into the net of Q
his vengeance, and Knox, his boon o
companion In many raid upon the g
chicken pens of their neghobrs. was o
once more by his side today. Indeed q
o he dld not hesitate in court to add his Q
word OF evidence against him. O
LII was the woman's evidence that o
was most damaging in the charges of Q
burglary against Hancock TODAY. His O
former mistress told her story, already .
related IN these columns, clearly and Q
deliberately. Mrs. Gross recouuted .
the midnight expeditions in which Q
Hancock, Knox and subsequently, Car .
ter, used to indulge, and the confirma. .
tory evidence of Mrs. Carter was .
equally damaging. .
Justice johnson, who has taken y q
. most remarkable and laudable interest .
IN bringing Hancock to Justice and q
. has displayed a Sherlock Holmes.lil,e q
Q ingenuity in joining together the q
. threads OF the desert tragedy, in which .
he believes Hancock foully murdered q
George Engelke and Joe Edminston 9
ordered both Hancock and Knox held q

. OF $1,000 and Knox with $3.50 bonds. 6
Both prisoners were taken back to 4
