day pointed out that she did not sign

appeared before the grand jury.

terday for murder in tho first degree
by tho December additional grand
Jury. He was alleged to have been

his brother, Joseph Loresch. was
killed In q pistol duel with Lieuten-
ant Horton.
The indictment of Loresch followed
testimony given before the grand
jury by Mrs. Brooks. who was In the
machine at the time. John Cavan-
augh. OF 81 Hamilton place. testified
to having left the automobile before
the shooting. Both Mrs. Brooks and

son and Moore. attorneys for Mrs.
Brooks. told reporters his client Is a
| victim or a most damning set OF cir
cumstances for which she is In no
sense responsible" In view OF de-
volopments before the grand jury, no
defense will be necessary for Mrs.
Brooks. but Mr.. Banton said he feels
that the situation in which Mrs.
Brooks nnds herself should be told
to the public. What follows is, ac-
eording to the attorney. the first cor
rect version of the circumstances
leading up to her arrest.
"Mr. Brooks had gone TO Chicago
believing he would close n contract
which would mean their permanent
residence in that city soon. Before
Mr.. Brooks left he told her. knowing
she was going to move from the Alb
erdeen apartments at $40 West 14Gth
street to house in Hamilton place.

her move.
Simply following out her husbands
instructions, she got Cavanaugh and
Nicholas Laresch to move her. As
they wre driving downtown that
night they met in the thirties Joe
Laresch, who was killed by Lieuten-
ant Horton. He asked II he might
ride with them and as she was on the
front seat with Nicholas she did not
object when Joe's brother told him
to get in. That was the first time
| she saw Joe.
"Joe and Cavanaugh. on the back
seat, struck up friendship. appar-
emily. Nicholas meanwhile suggested
that they ride downtown farther to
where he had a new top for his taxi,
which he wanted Mrs. Brooks to see.
downtown she perhaps made a
mistake in consenting to go with
Nicholas and Cavanaugh into res

Brooks drank a glass or so OF red
wine. Being unaccustomed to slim

after they left the restaurant they
returned to the Aberdeen, but Mrs.
Brooks says she is not clear just
why. The next thing she knew Joe
had gone into the Aberdeen. He
came out quickly and got in the car,
| Immediately after which the shoot
ing began. She was hit in the arm
and lost consciousness. She knew
| nothing of what happened after that"

REESE WEBSTER DEAD
 IN ROAD ACCIDENT

Word of the death of Reese Webster, who was killed while engaged in road construction work in Greenlee county was received in Phoenix yesterday by c. M. Zander, chairman of the state tax commission and a close friend Of Mir Webster.
 According to the meager report, MT. Webster was killed by gan explosion while supervising road construction between Metcalf and Springerville.
 The dead man was a member of the firm of Webster, Webster and Kirby, which has made a record for economic road building in this state. One of the reasons given by the company for be- ing able to guarantee the greatest amount of service out of the dollar was the fact that the head of the concern was always on the job.s It was while Webster was on the job that he came to his death.
 His brother, Frank Webster, is chairman of the board of supervisors of Graham county.

McLeods, Mrs. LeBaron said, she sent him $20 which Mcleod gave her for that purpose.
 On the night of July 5, Mrs. LeBaron said, they attended theater and then went to Busie's quarters in the Lansing apartments for supper. After their arrival at the apartment, she said, Mcleod excused himself and left for more beer. Busie, she declared, be- came sick from drinking the beer. and with the assistance of Mrs Mcleod, she put him to bed, removing his shoes, coat and collar. Then Mrs. Mcleod excused herself and left her and Busie alone, Mrs. LeBaron said, and a few minutes later two police officers. accompanied by the "city mother" of Los Angeles, entered the apartment and placed them under ar rest. She was released after four days, the witness said, through the efforts of her father. Tn November 1918, she learned that the McLeods had been employed, she testified by At torney Cox of Phoenix, at the request of LeBaron, to get her in that com promised position.
 Mrs. LeBaron said that she had written to the McLeods and requested their silence concerning the incident, because Mrs. Gilbert, the police ma tron, had told her while she was under arrest that the McLeods were the per sons who had informed the police that they would find a married woman in an apartment with a soldier at the Lansing apartments. Mrs. LeBaron said that even then she was not sure that they were the ones until her brother went to Los Angeles in No- vember, 1918. and secured affidavits from the McLeods that they had been employed to get her into compro- missing position.
 No defense to the divorce suit in August. 1918, was made by her. Mrs. LeBaron said, because Attorney Cox had told her that if she would offer no defense to the suit, he would see that things were made easy for her.
 The case will be continued this morning.

TELLS IF ALLEGED FRAME UP ID GET
 DIVORCE EVIDENCE

Pleading for the custody of her three children and community interest Tn an estate of $13.000, Edith V. 1eBaron yesterday told the story of her arrest in Los Angeles on the night of July ,, 1918, while in the company of Dan Busie, a soldier friend, which arrest. she alleges, was brought about by de- tectives hired by her former husband, Edwin NJ. LeBaron. in order that he might secure evidence for a divorce and the custody of their children. Mrs. LeBaron charges that the divorce which was granted her husband in August, 1918, was secured through fraud and coercion. The suit began in Judge Stanford's court on Tuesday and Mrs. LeBaron was on the, stand throughout the day yesterday.
 Mrs LeBaron said that she went to Los Angeles in July. 1917 with her children. to live while her husband was in the service.
 In May, 1918, she said. a woman giving the name of Peggy Mcleod called on her to sell thrift stamps and asked that she might be permitted to call socially. Their friendship grew, Mrs LeBaron said, and later Mrs. Me Leod introduced her husband, and the three attended theaters and dances to- gether.
 shortly afterward the McLeods, she said. asked her to get a gentleman friend in order that the party would be complete She replied. she testi- fled, that she did not know anyone, but told them she knew a soldier in RaIo Alto. and at the request of the McLeods, she said, she wrote and in vited the soldier. whose name was Dan Busie to visit her and the McLeods during the Fourth of July. He ac- cepted she said, but wrote that he had no money, and at the request of the

FILLING STATIONS n CLOSE SUNDAYS
 ID SAVE GASOLINE

With view of impressing on the motoring public of Phoenix the neces- sity of conserving gasoline and to limit pleasure riding, local garagemen and service station operators have agreed to close their business houses on Sun days. beginning Sunday, May 5, and continue this practice for three months.
 While the gasoline shortage is not at a serious point here, it is thought that by proper conservation through cur tailing pleasure driving, no famine will be experienced here. However, on the other hand, should pleasure cars be permitted to consume their usual quota Of gas, a shortage would be inevitable.
 This precaution is taken to insure agricultural interests and necessary industries against a serious handicap and possibly a great property loss should a shortage be brought about gasoline by pleasure seekers.
 This is also in effect at Mesa, Tempe. Glendale and Chandler.
