LAWYER FOR MRS. STARBUCK
WRITES OF KENDALL CASE

LONG BEACH, Aug. 21.-H w.
Brunk of Berkeley, attorney for Mrs.
Margaret r. StarbprlI Of oakland has
written to Long Beach parties re-
garding what Mrs. Starbuclk knows of
the Kendall murder case. In his let
ter he gives a copy of a letter he sent
to District Attorney Lea, stating that
the Japanese Yamaguchi told Mrs.
Starbuck of a fight with tho Kendalls.
The letter then goes on:
Mrs. Starbuck placed on credence
in the matter because the Japanese
told her the story five or six days af-
ter it happened, although his face bore
signs of having received blows.
Mrs. Starbuck has no theory as
to who committed the crime, and if
the Japanese did why he did 1t. From
the outset, until this moment, she has
freely told everything she knew about
the japanese and is doing all she can
to aid the authorities in finding the
guilty person. Many of the newspaper
reports of what she has stated to
number of newspapers have been
garbled and have been the cause of
much distress to her."
Mr.. and Mrs. Starbuck formerly
lived here for a number of years. He
was an architect and both were well
known.
