State Relying Oh Circum-
stantial Evidence and a
Number of Contradict
ory Statements
CASE ATTRACTING
MUCH ATTENTION
DEFENDANTS WILL BE TRIED
TOGETHER: DISAPPEARANCE OF
$4,000 NOTE ALSO TO BE USED
BY THE PROSECUTION

Tulsa. Okla. July 5.---Mrs Jesse
James and Goldie Gordon went to
trial today in district court before
Judge Redmond s. Cole, charged with
the murder Of Judge John Devereux.
John Devereux, former member of
fhe supreme court commission OF Ok
lahoma and law partner Of former
Congressman Bird $. Mcclure, was
found on the night Of May 8, in
hospital where he had been removed
from his own rooms in an apartment
house unconscious and in dying con-
dltlon He had wound on the head
and was apparently suffering from an
overdose of hypnotic drugs.
Mrs. James and Miss Gordon. who
said they were nurses caring for him
were arrested and after the death Of
Judge Devereux were formally charged
with murder. The jurist died May II
without regaining consciousness, at
mis- own rooms, where ne was taken
after his discovery in the hotel room
| by police Officers.
The state charges that the jurist
came to his death from a blow by
blunt instrument and poison. The
charge was amenied after the pre-
liminary hearing lasting several days
in which the two women were bound
over for trial, without bond.
| The state is relying on circum-
stantial evidence and number OF
contradictory statements attributed TO
Mrs. James, explaining the judges
the turist fell on bathtub and also
en- radiator. The state placed great
stress on the variety OF stories Mrs.
James Is said TO have related. The
women, II Is understood. will insist
that the jurist fell and hurt himself
and that they summoned medical aid,
and that the jurist himself took the
drugs. No defense testimony was Of
fered at the preliminary.
The case is attracting more attention
than any trial in years in this county.
County Attorney w. F. Seaver is con.
uuctMB lne prosecution aSISted Dy
+. ]. Lundy, who is representing The
bar association. H. 3 Martin, repre-
sents the defendants, who, will be tried
together 1t has been announced.
Another feature Of the case on which
the state places much stress is the dis
appearance OF $4,000 note on which
$4,000 had been paid which Judge De-
vereux held from Bird s. Mcclure.
The state claims that the jurist had
property and money which has disap-
peared and It also contends that the
nurses drew approximately 81, 300 on
checks made out by them but signed
by the jurlst during the two weeks
time they cared for the Judge While
Judge Devereux was reputed TO have
had some money ami bonds a search
OF the vault at the bank where they
were supposed TO have been kept re-
vealed only two rubber bands
The state has called close TO 40 wit
nesses. Many Of them were neighbors
Of the jurist.

can majority in congress and admin
istration were charged today by Sena-
tor Fletcher. democrat Florida, with

senate that few hundred nominally
paid employees OF the government had

said three months Of the extra ses-
sion OF congress had produced little
constructive legislation, Referring to
the budget bill as one OF the few
worth while pieces of legislation he
said that perhaps there is suffl-
Client hell-and.Maria In 1t to bring re-
sults."

Washington, July 5-The Sacra-
mento should reach Tampico today
from Galveston. The Cleveland was
ordered from Cristobal, Canal Zone,
and probably will not reach Tampico
before Thursday. Both vessels are
assigned to the American special
service squadron in South and Cen
trail American waters, Rear Admiral
II. F. Bryan commanding.
1t was expected at the navy de-
partment that unemployment had
been constantly increasing in and
around Tampico because of depres.
sion in the oil industry there due to
the new tax system, and that incl
cipient riots and increasing labor
troubles had resulted.
1t was said, however, that the ves-
sells would take no action unless
more serious situation arose.
Reports from Tampico yesterday
that several ships of the Atlantic fleet
had arrived at Tampico, were de-
clared at the department to be pre-
mature, II was stated that no Ameri-
can warcraft had arrived there and
it was assumed that the reports re-
suited from the receipt of news at
Tampico that the Cleveland and Sac
ramento had been ordered TO thai
| place.

Oregon last night. The decree was
promulgated through the department
OF the interior. Although the
amount of indemnity Is not stated.
1t is understood that all laborers
would receive three months pay. Re
ports from the Tampico Mexican oils
were subjected to further limitations

FIVE EASTERN
E[EVENSST|LL
IN TITLE RACE
Penn State, Yale, Lafayette, w.
and j., and Cornell Have Not
Tasted Defeat.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Five teams
remained In the field Of contenders
for the mythical Eastern football
championship TODAY.
Penn State, Yale, Lafayette, w. 4 ].
and Cornell have not tasted defeat
this season. and 1t is more than likely
that at least four OF the five will come
through with clean states.
OF the contenders on this side Of the
Alleghenies. Penn State looks best.
Hugh Becdek's eleven has gone
through a harder schedule than any
of the others, and outside Of one little
blot on its record-the tie game with
Harvard-stands out today as the
strongest team in the East.
Cornell, adding another victory and
fourteen more points to her total last
week, Is leading the teams Of the coun-
try today as a scoring machine with a
total of 351. Georgia Tech, with 345,
is second and leads the South. Notre
Dame, with 306, is third and leads the
West, while California heads the Pa.
cific coast section with 235 points.
The title in the Western conference
lies between Ohio State and Iowa, nc.
cording to indications now. Outside
the conference Notre Dame has the
call.
In the South, Centre College, with
never stain of defeat against her.
looks like the logical champion. On
the far-away Pacific coast California,
still undefeated, has the bulge on her
rival schools as the champion of that
section.
