Prosecution Say Hotel Clerk
Will Prove Denton's Arm
Uninjured and That De-
fendant Knew Of DentOn's
Whereabouts at All Times.
by Associated Pressl

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24.-Held
under cover by the prosecution IN the
Peeta case is a witness who was one
of the last persons to have seen }. {.
Denton alive. He will testify early
this week.
This witness is Frank j. Langan,
clerk at the Hayward hotel, who talk
ed with Denton at noon on June l,
1920. Langan had known Denton for
several years and during the latter's
various sojourns at the Hayward
they became quite friendly.
On the occasion to which langan
will testify, Denton told him he was
leaving for Phoenix the next day,
June 2, and would go on to Kansas
City. In response to Langan's ques-,
tion as to where he should send his
mail if any came to the hotel, Denton
filled out a forwarding lip giving 675
South Catalina street, the house
where his body was found, as his MAI
address.
This slip, signed in Denton's hand
writing is in the possession of District
Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine and
,hc and his assistants, Raymond l..
'Turney and A. II. Van Cott. regard
it as highly important in indicating
that Mrs. Peete, who was to occupy
the house during Denton's absence,
would be advised of his whereabouts
and forward his mail.
Langan also will testify that dur
ing the conversation with Denton,
June /, 1920, he had every opportunity
to notice whether Denton's arm was
injured. He will swear positively
that there was nothing wrong with
the arm and that he walked to the
door of he hotel with the mining man
and shook hands as they said good
bye. This will be relied upon by the
prosecuticn to refute Mrs. Peete's
claim that Denton's arm was injured
to such an extent that he was unable
to sign checks and delegated her to
do it for him.

FEWER THEFTS OF
CARS Is REPORTED

Fu- the first time in the history
cf motoring, there was an annual de-
crease i'm the number OF auto thefts
during 1929 over 1919, according to
a report issued yesterday by the
thcft bureau of the Automobile Club
of southern California.
There were 1885 autos stolen in
tie southern counties during 1920
while there were 1862 reported stolen
Iurmg l9l9-a decrease of IL.
This, according 10 Auto club Of
fciCls, will seem a very small figure
to TIE casual observer, but it has a
significant meaning 10 the local auto
mobile owner. for i; means that the
wave Of ivfts has retreated instead
y lf log! tfsed.
Every year, since 1912, he thieves
have ~ ned annually on the law, and
thi. is the first time that the num-
her of hefts has even indicaed a de-
crease. Every effor will now be
made by the authorities TO keen the
lead over the thieves and further cut
down the thief; toal.
OF these ears stolen last year, ll42
were pecovered, leaving 493 "Out'
standing" on which no report has
tcen secured. OF the cars stolen n
I 1918. l3ll were recovered, leaving
only 35l unrecovered. which WAS d
better average for the law.
This indicates. saws the Auto vlul

hieves are getting fewer. they are get
ting more skillful. In other words
only the best and most expert thieve
are lefr in the field. The amateur

McDevitt Plan for Relief of
Disabled World War Vet
Grams Receives Hearty
Support from the Author
tiles at Washington.

Rehabilitation of gassed and physi-
cally unfit soldiers on an extensive
scale in Imperial Valley has been as
sured through the signing OF a con-
tract by T. w. McDecitt of Los Ange-i
les and the division of vocational re-
habilita tion-~ef- war~at.-~VVa as4ring--
ton. The contract calls for the use of
approximately 10000 acres in the
valley. 1t is expected that $50 SOL
diers can be enabled to earn units of
land here through the generous CO.
operation of Mr.. McDevitt and the
large land interests in the valley,
which have, so willingly signed con-
tract which means practically nothing
to them until it is fulfilled. The Salt
river valley will be the scene of
similar experiment.
Mr.. McDevitt's interest in the mat
ter has been purely humanitarian, as
he is receiving no commission for his
work. Benefited in the Imperial
Valley by the dry atmosphere several
years ago when in poor health, he is
earnestly seeking to enable former
service men in like condition to re-
ceive its benefits and at the same time
acquire land and home. Particular
ly will the vocational department en-
deavor to place victims of gas and
those who are suffering from throat
and lung diseases on these units,
which it understood will be about
900 acres each.
The manner of financing is unique.
The service men, who are also to re-
ceive practical and technical instruc-
ton in agriculture, will do the actual
work. This is paid for by the gov
ernment at the rate of 500 monthly
for single men and as much as Si75
| for married men. After deducting
overhead the proceeds of the crops are
applied on the property. When one
| half the purchase price has been paid
each soldier will receive deed and
| give back a mortgage for the other
half. If the first two crops fail to
pay one-half, the land can be sur
rendered and the soldier receive one
half the crop. Various safeguards
for the coldiers are included in the
contract.
