the "Bluebeard" would be able to
make the trip to the desert Friday
was tentatively decided upon as the
date for the trip.
Harvey may be taken from his cot
in the county hospital here and trans
ported by train and ambulance ooo
miles to direct detectives to the lonely
burial place OF one of the slain
women.
Physicians are conducting an ex-
animation OF Harveys condition OF
health, and a test of his strength 10
see II he can withstand such trip
and such an ordeal.
Harvey today said that he could
find the body in the valley with ms
eyes shut" but added that the photos
the district had taken there confused
him. as "aIl desert country looks allke
in pictures"
The officials are confident that they
will find the body when they take
Harvey with them.

Sheriff Cline, OF Los Angeles, called
of his deputies last night, declaring
he would wait until Harvey's physical
condition would enable him to go IN
person to conduct the search.
Girls BODY vital Evidence.
Deputy District Attorney Doran
said TODAY it is improbable any evil
dence in the case would be presented
to the grand jury at its session to-
morrow, unless Nina Deloney's BODY
is found in the meantime.
The point delaying prosecution Is
the failure to find the body, officers
admitted. A conviction, even with
complete confession, could not be Sc
cured unless the body was found.
they said:
Woolwine received word today from
Washington State authorities that the
Northern State has perfect murder
case against Harvey" and added that
unless the Deloney, body Is found here,
Washington will make every effort to
extradite Harvey.
woolwine stated that this is the
one move of which the murderer is in
deathly fear
EVERY time extradition to Wash
ington is mentioned to this man he
shakes with fear and pleads with
me to prosecute him here" the dis
trict attorney said. He apparently
has received word from Washington,
possibly in an anonymous letter, that
If he is ever taken there he will be
subjected to mob violence. For this
reason we are sanguine of his ability
to find the Deloney grave for us. He
prefers to be prosecuted here.
Tells of Trips to Death Valley.
In his further talk with the prose-
cutor today Harvey told Of three trips
to Death Valley. The first, he said,
was when he took the body, disrobCd
1t to nudity, and buried 1t in tho saLd,
The second trip was when he returned
to burn the clothing he had left in his
haste to get away.
And the third was a return trip "a
sec that all the clothing had been
burned and that nothing reminiscent
of his crime remained to send him to
| the gallows.
Woolwine expects to have a pro,
longed examination made of the pris.
oner tomorrow, and IL is at this time
that he expects to get the detailed and
full confession of the bigamist-mur

Expect Wilson to Act.
President Wilson may act this week
in the question of exportauoh o,

An embargo now prevents ship

Lifting OF the embargo might be
taken to indicate that this Govern
ment favors the revolution. President
Wilson, therefore, may decide not to
take any action in the matter until
the situation in Mexico is far more
advanced than it now is. This week
will determine the real strength of

Ask Carranza TO Quit.
Washington officials today are in
terested in a report that CarranZa' $
advisers, at recent meeting in
Mexico City, proposed that he resign
from the Presidency. The report
reached here through sources I'M
friendly to Carranza.
Carranza's advisers suggested, ac-
cording to the report, that his resig-
nation might stave off American in
tervention, which in some quarters in
Mexico City now is greatly feared.
Officials here so far even privately
have given little indication that this
Government has begun to consider
possible armed Intervention. There
are, however, many forms which in
vasion. Lifting the arms embargo is
one. Another would be an economic
embargo by the powers. This would
require prolonged diplomatic negotia-
ton, it is presumed. Great Britain
would be willing to assist in an eco
nomic embargo. it is believed. IL COM
merce could be continued with the oil
region on the east coast OF Mexico.
To insure this might require invasion
of the oil region by a military force,
il is pointed out, unless the antiCar-
rama forces could control the region.
