Senator King and others. 1t was
understood that the Senator from
Utah was prepared to make an ex-
tensive speech against the fiscal
bill, contending that the govern

more than 40 per cent of the Dis

POLICE WITHHOLD
REAL EVIDENCE IN
EASTLAKE CRIME
Believe the Conviction of
Miss Knox Is Now
Fully Assured.
BY ). HAROLD KEEN.

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. s.-conf-
dent that sufficient evidence has
been secured against Miss Sarah z.
Knox to warrant her conviction in
a> court Of Justice for ner ALLEGED
particiIation "a the brutal murder
Of Mrs. Margaret E. Eastlake at
Colonial Beach last Friday, the
prosecution today turned its atten-
tion toward Roger d. Eastlake,
husband OF the slain woman, who
is jointly charged with the murder.
Although the police authorities
of Colonial Beach and Richmond
claim to have considerable circum-
stantial evidence against the AL
legged wife slayer. they have not
yet been able to definitely deter
mine what part he played in the
fiendish crime.
Doubt Eastlake's story.
Eastlake has repeatedly declared
that he is innocent Of any partici-
patton in the crime. but the finding
of bloody finger prints. declared
by the police TO correspond with
those Of Eastlake. on a box which
stood near the place where the -mu-
,tilated body was discovered, and
the finding OF a bloody undershirt
stuffed into a sock in the Potomac
River has led the police to disbe-
iieve this assertion.
The theory expressed by Detective
Sergeant william A. Toler, of the
Richmond police department, the
man assigned to investigate the case
by Gov. westmoreland Davis. is
that Eastlake was present in the
room at the time Of the murder and
made no effort to save his wife from
the onslaught OF the murderer.
TT Is this that We are endeav-
orinG to prove said Sergt ToIer.
''and IL we succeed, which I believe
we will with the aid of evidence
which has not as yet been made
public. feel certain that we will
be able to return a verdict Of guilty
against both of the prisoners.
Evidence kept Hidden.
There are certain bits of i'm
portant evidence which will not be
given to the public until the case
is brought before court. and these
facts. when revealed, l believe will
deal a staggering blow to the de-
fense. We have a stronger case
against these people than the public
has knowledge of and during the
remaining time before the meeting
OF the grand jury on October "a. We
are confident that we will amass
still more"
Entering upon their fourth day Of
solitary confinement. the prisoners
today gave no evidence of the jovial
spirit which was evident during
their incarceration at Fredericks-
burg. but instead were sullen and
detected. Neither SPOKE to anyone
during the day.
This morning Miss Knox received
the first bit Of mail since her ad-
missicn to the city Jail here. II was
a letter dealing entirely in per-
sonaliNes from her sister.
