SAN FRANCISCO, April g.
With the conceding by the attor-
neys of the accused of all the
grounds upon which they have
been resisting extradition of Olaf
Tveitmoe and Eugene A. Clancy,
the two labor leaders charged on
federal indictments with conspir-
acy in the transportation of dy-
Mantle, the last obstacle in the
way of the mems extradition to
Indiana for trial was removed to-
day when the case came up for
hearing. The extradition contest
ended in a stipulation filed by the
attorneys for the government and
for the defense which elects that
the Los Angeles indictments
against Tveitmoe and Clancy shall
be eliminated, and trial held on
the indianapolis indictments.
Tveitmoe and Clancy will appear
In the United States district court

WASS0N SUES
N 'QUESTEN

Filing his answer before the
complaint was filed in superior
court today, G. Dow McQuesten,
prominent attorney and Mason, de-
clared he was being sued by Wal
ter p. Wasson, a brother Mason,
for $500 commission on a plot
of property sold by McQuesten to
Corinthian lodge, No 8, F. & A..
NJ, for the home at Puyallup for
INDECENT Masons.
McQuesten relates in his answer
that the land was to have been
sold for $4,000 but that only $S,-
$50 was raised by state wide
campaign and that he gave the
rest from his own pocket. Short
ly after the land sale, asserts Nc
Questen, Walter P. Wasson beg
ged him for the 5000 commission
saying he was $500 short on the
Masonic home fund. McQuesten
both refused to give the commits
sion or lend Wasson $500 but fin
ally loaned him $3.50. Other
friends made up the rest so that
Wasson could refund the short
age, McQuesten alleges. Wasson
is still trying to collect the $500
he claims due him as commission.
Wasson was grand master of the
Corinthian lodge.

KILLING WOMAN.
BY United Press Leased wire.)


PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 2.
THAT he and man named
Knight forced an entrance into
the apartments of DR.. Helen
Knabe, in Indianapolis several
months ago and murdered the
woman by cutting her throat with
a stag handled butcher knife as
she lay in bed was the startling
confession made to the Ports
mouth police today by Seth Mich
OILS, former sailor on the u. s. s..
Dixie, an auxiliary cruiser. Mich
OILS asserts he was paid $1,000 for
killing DR.. Knabe. His statement
follows:
Eve easily forced an entrance
to the apartment house. / tip
toed to the woman's bedroom
with Knight following. She was
lying on her back with the beo
clothes barely reaching to her
breast.
"As reached her side she
moaned and opened her eyes. I
shall never forget those eyes:
They are with me day and night.
/ Hinged and buried the knife in
her throat as she turned toward
me. That's all there was to 1t.
She died without struggle.
Il have suffered terribly over
this affair. My conscience trou-
bles me all the time. l threw the
knife into a stream over which
we passed in a cab which knight
and myself took on leaving the
scene"
Nichols told the police that ne
met Knight in skating rink in
Indianapolis last October when
Knight offered him 500 to kill
DIR. Knabe. Nichols said he ac-
|cepted at once.
The police are skeptical OF
Nichols statement and are inves-
|tigating his confession.
