corner of Tenth Street, in whimsical,

OF the soldiers entertaining the throngs
gathered to see the march. When he
finished there was roar of approval.
The crowd called for more and finally
the soldier was prevailed upon to sing
dreamy Irish melody, in soft and
grooming voice, with such sincere feel
ing that smiles vanished, and in their
place was mirrored the memory of
comrades "gone west" When he fin

visiting her twin sister, Mrs. Will
liam Burgress. Fred Watkins, hus-
band of Mrs. Watkins, had gone
to France with his army unit. Mrs.
Watkins had two children-Leoda,
5 years old. and a boy, Clarence,
younger in age.
The Ellis pair visited but little
with the Watkins family and no one
could be found yesterday who could
n,ecall that Ellis had ever shown
anv marked attention to Mrs. Wat
kins. Ellis disappeared the first
week in December. and about the
same tine Mrs. Watkins and her
little daughter, Leoda, also left Mrs.
Burgess home.
From the day that Ellis disap-
peared his wife saws she has not re-
ceived word from him.
Neighbors of the Ellis, Burgess
and Watkins families said yesterday
that if any romance had sprung up
between Mrs. Watkins and Ellis
it was after Mrs. Ellis went to the
Methodist hospital to have her sec
ond baby. All of these neighbors
and relatives said that, while Ellis
was known as a ne'er-do-well. none
of them believed that he had the
physical strength or nerve to com
NIT murder. He was very gentle
in his manners. almost timid, and
often said that he did not have nerve
enough to kill a cat. He has no
known friends in Yuma or Phoenix
to whom he might have gone.
Matthew S. Anderson, stepfather
of Harris Ellis, said yesterday:
I'VE have heard nothing from Ell
lis since he disappeared. We do not
know where he has gone. | DO not
believe that he murdered Mrs. Wat
knis. if it is she who was killed. un-
less he suddenly lost his mind"
Imperial Valley press., 1919-01-29

tContinued from Page Onel
We know they left and we know
the horse was sold in Mexico. We
know Ellis had a child with him in
Mexico, and probably a woman all
that time. We expect to arrest the
man within a few days, if not
hours. In the meantime, we are
charging him with the murder" said
Sheriff Applestill.
Mrs. Watkins had a gold filling in
her right upper ineisor. This tooth
is missing in the corpse. Mrs. Wat
kins was about 5 feet 61s inches
tall and weighed about 125 pounds.
The victims body does not appear so
large. though, of course, it is much
shrunken and charred by the fire.
DR. F. w. Peterson, county coroner.
SAYS he thinks the sheriff's office IS
wrong in its conclusion about the
age of the victim. He believed her
to have been older than Mrs. Wat
kins.
Harry Ellis was born in Kansas
CITY twenty-five years ago, and from
his birth was not strong. He is now
nearly 6 feet tall and of rather
slight build and frame. Seven years
ago he came west, where his mother
lived. and has made his home in Los
Angeles ever since, working at one
Job after another.
Three years ago he made a trip
to Texas, and while at Paris, in that
state, met and married Miss Fannie
Wallace and brought her to Los An
geles. They established hohme on
Wall street, and later at 1868 Oak
wood avenue. They had two children
"a little boy, years old, and baby
daughter, who was born in Decem-
Der, shortly before Ellis disappeared.
Just before Mrs Ellis who discharged
from the hospital Ellis paid her hos
pital bill and disappeared, and Mrs.
Ellis went to the home of the An
dersons at 62S North Alexandra ave-
nue., where she is now.
While the Ellis family were living
at the Court apartments on Wall
street they became acquainted with
Mrs. Marguerite Watkins, who was
