 Chandler car, she says that she sup posed that he and his father were as- sociated in business; that she had all the money she wanted, and that she took it for granted his purchase of the car was all right.
 On the other hand, local authorities are not satisfied that Harry has told the exact truth or all of it. They will not take his statement that he had no accomplice either during or after the act without fullest investigation and earnest effort to prove to the con- trary. They are following out every possible lead, leaving not a single point uncovered.
 One thing, however, tends to dis prove the theory that there was an accomplice. Harry got the car and watch. Schwab is said to have had very little money with him. If there was an accomplice, where did the lat ter come in on the division of the pro- ceedS?
 Nor are the authorities willing to take at its face value the statement that the act was in self-defense. They will seek to establish beyond doubt whether or not Schwab had gun, as Harry said he did, whether he was a drinking man, whether he was of a quarrelsome disposition.
 Many who met Schwab during the two days preceding his death say he appeared to them to have been very quiet hammered man. Frank Brooks, who got quite we'll acquainted with him, is one who does not believe Schwab was the type of man who would threaten to shoot anyone.
 Schwab was very little known here. It was his first trip through this sec tion. A few remember him as quiet, rather colorless. Some who have fol- lowed developments pretty closely, think it strange that, reputed to be a star salesman for the cash register company for a dozen or more years, presumably drawing a big salary, he hadn't sufficient funds in his home bank at Payson, Utah, to cover the S5 check he wrote at Ash Fork few days preceding his death; why he even was largely in debt for his Chandler car. Some even wonder whether he may not have traded in his Ford car for the big Chandler touring car to use the latter in a side line. Of course this is all conjecture, more or less idle; and there may be good reasons shown to cover each point.
 Mrs. Nash had not full recovered 1 from the measles when she arrived here. She is still weak. She and her , father-in-law have rooms at the Ideal hotel, a stones throw from and in plain view of Harry cell in the county ! jail.
 i Harry's mother is still with Herbert (Roy) in Santa Barbara. He has not fully recovered from the typhoid. The news of the confession has not reach ed her yet.
 i There are two other boys besides ] Harry and four girls in the Nash fam fly. They are devoted to each other and to their parents. One of Harry 1 sisters has been very sick and the news of his arrest is being kept from her.
 The following letter was written by J. Ebert Nash, the oldest boy, assist ant cashier in his fathers bank at Hillsdale, Wyo., to his mother, at the bedside of her son Herbert (Roy) in Santa Barbara. It was written after Harry's arrest:
 Dearest Mother:
 "Your letter to Dad just received this morning. We have been afraid to write for several days for fear that you had not heard of Harry; but when we. saw that they had got Herbert | too, we knew that you must know of ] it. Our hearts are grieved for the 1 boys and it would be more than we could bear if it wasn't that we know that they will be able to prove theii innocence. We know where Herbert was Hast April and we know that Harry would never have done such 8 thing. It takes all our faith to holc up and l am sure that God will be your refuge. It may all come out fol the best if we trust God.
 "Try and keep us posted on what you know as we cannot believe what we see in the papers. They get SC many different stories and none o1 them alike. So many of our friends have expressed their sympathy ant express themselves that the boys vii be able to prove their innocence ever though things look so dark ant strange now. Of course Herbert car prove easy enough where he was al last spring and if Harry still has hi' bill of sale it ought to simplify mat ters for him. At any rate, I ami sur' that anything that we may be able t' do, I've will only be too glad to do, nt matter what it costs. We need no
