Confronted by a negro who said he saw Petras get off the car a block beyond where Miss Hol- lander alighted and run back to where she got off. Petras charged the negro with telling an untruth to create a sensation Petras is said to have told the coroner that nobody saw it when questioned about the crime.
 Petras suggested that the three negros who went to the penitentiary for rObbing him may have conspired with the negro who testified against him. He suggested the incendiaries suspected of having set fire to houses two blocks from the cemetery had run upon Miss Hollander and killed her. The police theory that Petras want ed Miss Hollander married to a man of his choice in order to see her un- happily married, he characterized as foolishness.

After Fivc Months Search Missing
 Los Angeles Man Is Found.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHJ
 LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17.-Five months after he was supposed to have fallen from the deck ot the coast steamer Harvard and drowned, I.ucian A. Gar1hl, son of a Los Ang- eles real estate dealer and lumber merchant. has returned to his home in this city,
 He was a victim of aphasia and wandered up and down the coast. He was found two weeks ago in Ari- zOna, according to his brother, Gas ton Ganahl. So much the family stated today. but attempts to learn where in Arizona he was found or what towns he visited during his wandering were fruitless. They said he had been in three different Ari- zCna towns, but refused to tell which.
 It was learned he had been living in Hollywood suburb since last Sat urday. It is not explained how he left the steamer. but it is believed he did not get aboard the Harvard, but sent his hand baggage to his staterOom. His condition. according to his family. was due to an opera tion performed on him in Oakland three months before he started from San Francisco on the Harvard on August 20 last.
