NEIGHBORS OF IA GRANGE ON
 WITNESS STAND
Bert Roland and. Clint McLaren Relate Circumstances Bearing on Alleged Staying of Walter Steinbrook Two Years Ago.
CFrom Fridays DailYl

Walter Steinbrook started for Prescott on horseback from his ranch near Blind Indian creek shortly after dark December %, 1920, carrying a quantity of ore samples and pocket book, according to testimony given by Bert Roland yesterday at prelim- mary examination of Franklin La Grange, accused of Steinbrook's mur- der. The examination was conducted by Justice Clyde B.. Jones of Jerome.
 Steinbrook's horse was later brought to Clint McLaren's place by La Grange, who said Steinbrook had left the horse with him, according to McLaren, the second witness called.
 Two roads led to Prescott from the camp where Steinbrook and Ro- land lived, one of which passed the La Grange place. Roland was un- able to say which of these roads Steinbrook had taken.
 La Grange put his ranch up for sale soon after, declaring Mrs. La Grange was i'll and had to be taken to California, McLaren testified. The ranch was sold to Clark Elmer, but La Grange reserved a claim which he said he wanted to work later.
 McLaren visited the La Grange place on December 31, 1920, and found La Grange had a fire near the barn in which he declared he was burning malt.
 Meanwhile, Steinbrook had disap- peared. Accidental discovery of dis membered parts of a human body in an abandoned prospect shaft near Blind Indian creek led to the belief that the old prospector had been slain. This was in the summer of 1921, McLaren said. The discovery led to further investigation, chiefly by Frank Wilson of Mayer, Stein brooks nephew, which resulted in the discovery of charred bits of bone and metal on the La Grange place.
 It was these circumstances which led to filing of murder charges against La Grange and his wife.
 The introduction of testimony yes terday occupied the forenoon and part of the afternoon Judge Jones continued the hearing until Monday, at which time the prosecution will two new witnesses, Deputy County Attorney Westervelt said. Joe Furst represented the defendant
