developments today at Colonial

M. Smith, jr., is questioning ac-
quaintances of the accused woman.
Defense Attorney Active.
That she will be represented as
being now of unsound mind and as
having been in dcmented state at
the time of the death of Mrs. Roger

CATION of more than a half dozen
witnesses here today who will be

woman who is held with Roger East

latter's wife.
Hotel proprietors and rooming
house keepers where Miss Knox
stopped on her intermittent visits to
Colonial Beach and Potomac Beach,
three miles away, for the alleged
purpose of being near Eastlake,
will be asked to go on the stand and
relate weird stories of Miss Knox's
behavior while under their hospi-
tality.
Her recluse disposition and strange
conduct during her various trips to
this vicinity have long been the sub
ject for comment, particularly among
the colored gentry, who were wont
to refer to her as a witch and "eight
foot woman" AS with most SUPER
stitious lore among the negro serv-
ing class. there seems to be no tan
gible reason for the "eight-foot wom-
an" appellation. but to this trite

Al least two prominent persons at

GLENDALE GREYS
 TO MEET HE. TEAM

GLENDALE, July 19.-The Glen dale Greys will have another game on the home lot this Sunday when they meet the Arizona Eastern team. In the last contests, when these two teams met, each scored victory and good baseball was played on either side. This game will mark the last game in the series of the present schedule and after that date a reor- ganization will be effected.
 At a meeting held Monday night of the various team managers at the Rose Tree in Phoenix. it was decided to make the next schedule ten games; and in order to insure the fans of first class baseball only one game will be played in each town between Group 1 teams on the same date.

At the end of the season the winner of Group 1 honors will journey to California. where return series will be played with the naval aviation team. Upon the return of the team post-season series will be played between the winners in Groups 1 and 2.

STATE ID RESERVE
 LAND IN O|L FIELD

In accordance with the recommen- dation of T. L. Macleod, chief engin- eer of the state land department. the state will withhold from leasing three sections in the district where oil was reported some weeks ago.
 Prompted to make an investigation by the demand for oil leases. Rudolph Kuchler. state land commissioner, is- sued an order of June 29 refusing to issue further leases until an invesu- gation was made MT. Macleod was sent to the Patagonia district and his report presented to the commission yesterday resulted in three sections being reserved for the state that 1t might benefit in the event that a rich oil strike is made.
 During few days in June after the word was received here of an oil strike near Patagonia more than 20, 900 acres were leased in Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties. In -the opinion of Mir. Macleod the district gives better promise of oil than any other district in the state.
