CASE
COMES ON MONDAY

The trial of Dan Southwell, ex-
marshal of Imperial, on a charge of
accepting a bribe, will come up Mon
day. 1t will be a trial which will
involve notorious characters in the
underworld at Imperial, and is ex-
pected to develop vicious conditions
that are permitted to prevail.
Probably no trial in the valley has
ever aroused the interest that at
taches to this one, and it is expected
to last for more than week, as 12O
witnesses have been subpoenaed.
Conkling & Brown are attorneys for
Southwell and District Attorney Ga
len Nichols will prosecute the case
associated with him being Attorney
j. F. Seymour, employed by outside
people as special counsel.
Superior Judge William M. Conley
will be unable to sit in the trial OF
Dan Southwell, former city marshal
of Imperial, according to an announce
ment made this morning by E. r. 81
mons, deputy district attorney. A
telegram stating that Judge Conley
would be unable to hear the case was
received last night by Superior Judge
Cole. he said.
What iurist would conduct the tria
has not been learned, but it was con
iectured this morning that. as superior
Judge Cole is not disqualified to sit
in the case, the trial may be hearC
before him.

OF EMERSON
STILL BEING SOUGHT

With scarcely a single definite clew
that will divulge the identity of the
three slayers of Constable Perry EN-
erson of Brawley, who was shot and
instantly killed Thursday evening,
Sheriff Meadows and Deputies f. E.
Cummings and Jack Graham for the
third day are continuing the man hunt
for the three murderers.
Sheriff Meadows returned late yes
terday afternoon from an all night
hunt in the North End, where he di-
rected the search of numerous armed
posses from all parts of the valley,
and this morning again resumed the
chase.
Rumors from various parts of the
valley that the slayers of Emerson
had been seen have all proved to be
unfounded. No confirmation has been
obtained of persistent rumor that
was circulated yesterday evening, to
the effect that the three murderers hac
passed through Imperial in an auto
mobile on the same night that the
murder occurred; that their descrip-
tions had all closely resembled those
of the trio who had slain Emerson
that their suspicious actions attract
ed the attentions of persons who saw
them, and that they appeared uneasy
as one of the trio alighted from the
car and walked into a restaurant al
Imperial where he secured a number
of matches. A few minutes later the
car sped southwark.
The lack of evidence and of {
definite description of the murderer:
has added a new and unusual angle
to the problem. Probably the onl!
person who witnessed the escape O
the slayer was the negro caretaker o
the Brawley baseball park, who de
clared that shortly after the fata
shots had been fired he witnessed al
armed man climb over the fence tina
surrounds the park and hurried.
cross the grounds.
Before he reached the other side, h
encountered the negro, whom he men
aced with revolver while he disap
peared in the fast gathering darkness
The speed with which the fugitiv
passed him and the dramatic inten
sity of the moment rendered the ne
gro incapable of furnishing officer
: with an adequate description of tn
man.
