Mrs. Crummitt recounted i'll detail
incidents noted by her on the day OF
the death Of Grace Elosser and Charles
E. Twigg. She said her rooms joined
that occupied by May and she could
hear much that occurred in the adjoin
ing room.
At the time OF the death she heard
no noise and no confusion, and she was
in position to see May going and
coming from her bath, but she heard
nothing and only learned of the tragedy
when she heard cries Of This is awful
NV God it must be kept quiet"
She was not asked to tell what she
knew or to keep quiet by anyone and
had not been summoned to the inquest
before the coroner.
Only a thin partition divides the
house. In the middle room, which
is Mrs. Crummitt's dining room, there
is door which connects with the mid

WOMAN SENT TO PRISON

Mrs. Roberta Garrett Menges Cor
win Hill, divorced wife Of Capt. James
Hill Of the British, army, pleaded
guilty to a federal charge Of smuggling
yesterday afternoon and was sentenced
by Judge Martin, in the Criminal
Branch of the United States Circuit
Court in New York to pay $1,000
fine and to serve in the Tombs until
Monday morning al s clock.
Following the indictment, Mrs. Hill,
who has had . spectacular career,
pleaded not guilty and was released on
So, 900 bail Yesterday she appeared
before Judge Martin, withdrew her plea
and entered 4 plea OF guilty Mrs. Hill
said that on December 9 she smuggled
into this country Sc, ,000Ssable coat, 4
gown, q gold cigarette case, a pair OF
gold sleeve buttons and three diamond
rings, all valued vt $1,000 or more.
She failed TO declare these articles and
an investigation resulted in her arrest.
Mrs. Hill, who was accompanied by
u5T laCIeT. MuullCC uCuESSI stuu ~ hSi
unmarried sister, left the courtroom in
tears, shielding her face from photog-
raphers With an enormous fur muft.
She will not spend the time Of the SEN
tence in prison, but in n hotel in the
custody of Marshal Henkel.
Judge Martin in imposing sentence
said he did not think fine alone was
sufficient punishment. He added the
short prison sentence not only as part
OF the punishment OF the young woman
but rs deterrent to others who may
be- tempted to evade the customs laws.
Mrs. Hill screamed and broke down
when sentence was pronounced. Evi-
deutly she had expected to get off with
q fine and had considerable sum Of
money with her.
Before sentencing Mrs. Hill, Judge
Martin said:
THE judges have agreed that unless
imprisonment is imposed as well as a
fine, this class of smuggling cannot be
stopped and in this particular class OF
law breaking the women are worse
than the men.

this room was occupied by Miss Grace
Elosser as a sleeping apartment.
Mrs. Crummitt told the detective and
Dr. Koon that she heard distinctly
what had transpired in the Elosser
home after the finding of the bodies.
Because she was no, summoned and
never interrogated by the authorities
she had remained silent uniiI now.
Mrs. Crunrmitt has been living in
the Elosser-home for several months
and was recently employed at the Inn,
on north Mechanic street, as domes-
tic. About two years ago she obtained
q divorce.
II was rumorcd last night that the
chemists who performed the tests upon
the blood taken from the bodies OF
Twigg and Miss Elosser have not been
able TO find that carbon monoxhc was
the cause Of death.

About the usual number of elk died in Jacksons
Hole last winter" | asked Mr.. Crawford, an old
resident of the valley. about what percentage of
the elk calves died last winter He said. 80 per
cent next asked Mr.. George Wilson, another
old resident, the same question. He said, 'S5 per
cent Mr. Kelly said rs per cent The calf crop
each year is about 30 per cent. of the whole. while
there are very few young elk growing up.
AT Mr. Crawfords place there fed about
$3.50 elk twothirds of which number were old
cows. The yearlings from this number of cows
(about 1,500 head) had they not perished for want
OF food would number 1000 head about onehalf
OF which would have been males with spikes. All
male elk one year old have spikes that easily
distinguished All spike bulls are to be found in
the herds with the cows
l drove past this bunch of elk at the Crawford
ranch, strung out for nearly mile in length and
watched carefully counting just 12 spikes Among
the elk fed or Kelly's ranch and my place to-
gether numbering 1000 head counted about rs
spike bulls
The state game wardens report for the previous
year says: About 10 per cent. Of the calves and
few old elk perished last winter" Yet the young
bulls of that age are nearly a minus quantity tnot
per cent Of them being accounted for), while
among the about 1000 elk being fed at the three
places named, there is a great disparity of males
Of all ages
Are the elk degenerating? Are the calf elk
less hardy than in the years past? Does breed
ing to immature and inferior males cause the
caves 10 succunD TO Jne rlgorS OF Wlnterf IneSe
questions that interesting to study at this
time
At birth elk calves probably half males.
Now, among the three punches OF elk fed near my
place, probably about 1000 head, not to exceed
per cent of them are males. II is true that
many bulls winter high up in the hills away from
the herds, and that these are not to be found in
the valley now; yet it is fact that there is
great disparity of males. OF all ages While at
birth so per cent. are males, yet now there is not
to exceed 10 per cent. males. Nonresidents in
variably kill males for trophies. Residents kill
the larger portion of females, which leaves the
ratio about even. as 80 per cent OF each sex is
shot Now. the question is. what becomes of this
40 per cent of males?
Buffalo Jones. at time official hunter in the
park. to exterminate the mountain lions, told me
he had learned that lions had a preference for
male elk around lions den he had found 10
dead calf elk. killed by the lion. and all were
males.
Some years ago when there was practically no
law on the game few OF the settlers in the val
ley conceived the idea OF catching elk calves TO
sell to parks and other places. In this took
part It was our desire to get about three females
