of Nina Lee Deloney was found by
the searching party directed by
Walter Andrew Watson, her al
legged slayer, at 1910 o'clock today.
Five miles north of Coyote Wells
Watson halted the ambulance.
There's the gulch," he said. As
sisted by deputy sheriffs, Watson
walked to a spot near a small Siff.
There's the ledge" he said, point
ing.
Deputy sheriffs turned a few
shpvelfuls of earth and revealed the
body.
Slayer Walks Feebly.
Watson. .haggard white-faced,
with staring eyes and trembling
limbs, due to his physical condition,
was unshaken until the body of his
victim lay in view. AS he walked
feebly from the ambulance to the
place where he said the body was
buried he was accompanied by
scores of public officials, newspa-
permen and photographers. More
than 100 curiosity seekers followed
the party. Seventy-five automobiles,
carrying nearly 500 people, had
made the tri pacross the desert from
Ell Centric.
There's the ledge" said Watson,
pointing to a rocky spot few yards
from where he stood. Deputy sher-
ifs with shovels stepped forward
and turned few bits of earth,
while cameras clicked and the crowd
stood watching.
Discover Body.
Then one G the men started
back. dropped his shovel and bent
forward; an instant later the can
vas-shrouded form of the dead
woman was taken from the small
grave into which it had been thrust,
distorted and almost broken by the
exercise Of the force that had been
applied to place it where it lay.
The. canvas was opened just
enough to make sure that there was
no mistake. Then it was allowed to
rest until casket arrived and the
prisoner, the body OF his victim and
their escort OF hundreds started
again for Ell Centric, where an in
quest was ordered to be held imn,e-
diately, according to the statement
of the sheriff.
Watson collapsed when the body
was uncovered and had to be as
sisted to the ambulance, where he
lay during the subsequent stir of
getting the body ready for trans
portation.
The position of the body bore out
every portion of Watson's alleged
statements concerning his course
after he had killed the woman. He
had said he put the body in an auto
mobile at Santa Monica, adjacent to
Los Angeles, and carried it down
over the coast highway, inland
through San Diego county, and then
carried it in his arms to a spot he
could not reach by automobile,
where he thrust it into a small ex-
