PLOT TO
ROB RICH
mANSEEN
Omitted Press Servlce)

los ANGELES. Sept. 25.-Efforts
to solve the mystery connected with
the murder of Jacob C. Denton today
certered about statements of James
w Crownurst, who admitted having
na.!ed up the the small compartment
where Denton's body was found,
hands and feet roped and swathed in
blanket. He did so at the bidding
of Mrs. R. C. Rect, former house
keeper for the dead man, according
to a statement made to the police.
Crowhurst is not under arrest. He
will be summoned to testify before
the grand jury investigation of the
murder.
According to Police Captain Met
calf, Crowhurst served sentence in
Folsom prison following conviction
: of robbery in Alameda County in
1905. He is declared to have been a
member of the notorious old "Jim
Grow Gang" which operated in Oak
land that year, and was paroled in
1918.
Crowhurst' sworn statement says
he did various odd jobs around the
Denton home from June until August
of this year. This was brought TO
the attention of the authorities by
a realty company through which he
listed house for sale some time
ago. This was done for Mrs.. Peete,
he said.
No arrests have been made, the
police say. The authorities are run
ming down a number of clews, one Of
which points to a murder conspiracy
to get possession of Denton's prop
erty, they assert.
Denton's divorced wife and his
daughter Frances, who is heiress' to
his large estate, arrived here from
Phoenix today, but were unable to aid
the police. They knew of no enemies
of Denton, they said.
Letter addressed to Mrs. j. G.
Denton, deceased wife of the slain
nan, FUND among his personal effects
are expected to shed some light on
the murder mystery. The letters
were received several months after
Mrs. Denton died last March. They
were found by Rush M. Bodgett, at
tos1ey for Denton's tifteen-year-old
daughter Frances.
Several bills for lumber and fertil-
izer, dated June 8, also were found.
Fertilizer was used to cover Denton's
body in the wooden compartment in
the basement of his home.

also to have been there and had con-
sented to make the graduation ad-

prvented by important business and
his place was taken by Ira Nelson

go up to meet her. II he hasn't start

any official announcement has been
made, but IL is generally understood
that he's going; and, OF course, he'll
have to start pretty soon in order
to be in San Francisco when the
opening gun is fired. The Daniels
will not make any denite summer
plans until the Secretary and his wife
are back in Washington, but 1t is
probable that they'll be here much
of the time. Judge John Barton

doubtedly has a busy summer before
him, for he'll play a prominent part
