Powerles to Proclaim Peace.
By United Press.
Washington, Aug. 21.-Replying TO
a series of questions submitted by
Senator Fall. President Wilson de-
clared that in lis judgment he had
no power to proclaim a state Of
peace before the ratification of the
treaty.
He clearly indicated that he would
not consent to such a step if he had
the power 1t would put such a stain
upon our national honor that we
never could efface," he said.

Evidence in Case.

Developments of the day were
about as follows, according to the
evidence brought out: George God
frey, friend of Miss Brock and
George Brock brother of the dead
girl were at the Brock home in the
morning. They went to Dutton about
II o'clock. Later, Mrs Brock, moth
er of the girl went to the lome of a
neighbor. Miss Brock appeared at
the home of Walter Bell baout 3
o'clock in the afternoon and asked
that they phone to DuttOn and ask
her brother to return home. She was
in good spirits. The phone call de-
termined that Godfrey and Brock had
started back to the Brock home hav-
ing been together at Dutton since
their arrival there in the morning.
Later in the afternoon, about 20 or
40 minutes after Miss Brock left the
Bell home, Mrs. Tibbets, Mr. Bells
daughter heard a shot and 4 scream.
She thought nothing of it until
George Brock appeared at the Bel
home saying that someone had killed

and officers were notified.
Was Sicing Tomatoes.
An examination of the place showed
that Miss Brock had been slicing to-
matoes in the kitchen There was a
dish half filled with the sliced toma-
toes A tomatoe was peeled, had one
slice cut from it and another slice
half cut. A pearing knife was found
near the bed where Miss Brock was
found dead.
The dead girls hair was disarrang
ed when she was found, but when
she appeared at the Bell home, it
was neatly arranged. The theory is
that she returned from the Bell home

Similarity Of Auto Tracks.

The testimony of Robert Wilson,
deputy sheriff of Verden, was prob
ably the most damaging to the de-
fendant in the preliminary hearing.
Wilson testified that he came to
Chickasha Saturday afternoon and
conyersed with Walls relative to tho
robbery. Walls, he said told him that
he had seen the men he thought to
be the robbers drive their car up to
a straw stack, one mile west of Chick
asha and un,oQd some articles.
Wilson further testified that he, in
company with Walls and others
drove to the straw stack in Walls
car and there found three suitcases
containing some Of the loot taken
from the Kern establishment; that
he examined the tracks made by
Walls car and that they were very
similar to the tracks already there
and presumably the ones made by the
automobile that had conveyed the
stolen goods to the place

Gun Not Fired.

A 45-calibre revolver was found
on the bed near the dead girls right
hand, but after examining the wepa-
on thoroughly the jury decided that
it had not been fired recently. Dust
was found in all the chambers and in
the barrel.
Evidence that deepens the mystery
developed when Walter Bell, far
mer living near the Brock home, los-
titled that when he arrived at the
scene of the tragedy, there were two
guns about alike" lying on the bed.
The second gun has not yet been ac-
counted for, nor was it produced at
