county, December IL.
Weapons Not Guarded.
On the grounds that much or all
NJ this evidence was handled and
handled about among curious spec
tators at the time OF the crime and
for days afterward before profess
sional Investigators from Richmond
arrived on the scene. lawyers will
argue with Judge Chinn that IL ID not
available for use against their clients.
, This step has been definitely de-
cided upon as one OF the main threads
or defense for both Eastlake and Miss
Knox. IL is recalled that as late as
last Sunday a cap and cape said to
have been the property OF Eastlake
was found" by Detective Boulwer,
a Colonial Beach detective. These
were declared TO be crimson-stained
and were said to have been found
packed In the bottom OF a pasteboard
carton holding children's playthings.
Because OF the element OF time
particular things. a fight viii ensue
TO have them barred from court.
Hundreds of morbid and curious
spectators have roamed through the
Eastlake home, picking up this and
that. and II Is said that these new
bits of supposed evidence. the cap
and cape. could not have been missed
by the many hands which have been
picking over things.
Articles Planted, Belief.
Feeling In Colonial Beach has been
so intense over the Eastlake murder
that II is believed not improbable that
these things could have been 'plant-
ID" by persons desiring to hurriedly
place the blame on the husband OF
the dead woman.
Much the same may be said of the
other things In the hands OF county
authorities, many of which were
dug up as late as one week after
the indictment were placed under
arrest.
A question which has been on
the lips of all who have watcced the
preliminary legal tockeying and the
actual selection of counsel for the
defense and prosecution in the East
lake case was answered In Fredericks-
burg today when II was learned that
the money to retain the services of
counsel for Miss Knox is being col
lected by a nurses alumnae asso-
citation which covers the United
States.
Nurses Contribute.
The plight OF Miss Knox has been
made known to every nurses or
ganization In the country coming
under the franchise of this national
order, and II Ia said that practically
every member of her profession in
America has been given an oppor-
tunity to contribute some mite to aid
in clearing her Of alleged completely
with Eastlake for the death Of East
lakes wife on September so.
1t is recalled that not until last
at Richmond did Miss
Knox actually secure the interest Of
Harry M. Smith. jr.. defending coun-
sci in the famous Henry Clay
Beatty trial of eleven years ago. IT
is further recounted that Smith IN
terviewed the prisoner in the Rich
mond city Jail Immediately after her
The Washington times., 1921-10-26

cured to engage the interest Of one
Of Virginia's foremost criminal law
yers.
Two new theories concerning the
veritable assassination Of Mrs. Mar
garet X. Eastlake in her humble CO.
lonial Beach home while her two chill
dren slept in an adjoining room have
been advanced by attorneys for the
two indicted people since true bills
were returned against them by a
Westmoreland county grand jury last
Monday.
One OF these involves the mental
condition Of Miss Knox, toward whom
II Is said the greater amount OF cir.
cumstantial evidence pointa. and the
other audaciously suggests the posi-
bility of Mrs. EastIake having COM
mitted suicide-a theory that on its
face seems preposterous. The new
trend of thought has been developed
entirely by the nature Of questions
propounded certain residents of Co.
loniai Beach by counsel for the de.
fense, the entire staff of defending
legal talent having spent all Of yes
terday at the beach resort seeking
facts which might offset any state
ments made to the grand jury.

that of suicide. is the sole result II
