Three Men Helped
Clara Escape, Say
L. A. Jail Attaches
(By The United Press.l

Los Angeles, Dec. 11.--Clara Phil
lips. convicted hammer murderess,
was aided in her escape from the
Los Angeles county Jail by three
men, in the opinion of Jail attaches
who have made a thorough investi-
cation.
Two of these men were on the
roof of the Jail and sawed the bars,
probably working simultaneously.
They are believed to be underworld
characters, skilled in the use of the
small chilled steel saws used by
professional criminals. The bars of
Clara's cell window were cut so
straight and accurately that none
but an expert could have done it,
jailers said.
The third accomplice was man
in an automobile it is believed. The
conviction is growing that Clara is
safe in Mexico, although no effort
is being spared to run down clues
in this country. 1t is admitted
however, that not the slightest
trace of Clara has been found since
she disappeared.

today by a declaration from Repre-

insist upon Taft being summoned.
In public letter addressed TO
Chairman N0lstead. Keller took the
committee to task for alleged gen

ticularly for It's failure to include
Chief Justice Taft in the first group
OF witnesses. for whom subpoenas
were issued Saturday.
Keller wanted Taft 10 testify con-

pointed by Daugherty as head OF
the federal bureau of investigation
Stating he had been advised only
through the newspapers that the
committee had decided il was ''un.

Keller demanded of Volstead:
What means have you of know.
ing whether Chief Justice Taft is
or is not material witness in proof
of these charges, that enables you
to decide in this pre-emptory fash

not throw further light on the
transaction? s--.
How do You know that we are
going to elicit testimony from Chief
Justice Taft on some of the other
charges. Does your committee pre-
sumo to take the wholly unwarrant-
ed and high handed stand that be-
fore you will summon any witnesses
you must know exactly what they
will testify to-"
Keller charged the committee
with being "biased" and with hav-
ing "pre-judged' the case against
Keller is insisting that testimony
shall be taken first on the Burns
matter. The committee decided by
resolution to start on the charge
that Daugherty had refused to
violators of the antitrust
statutes, the first of the fourteen
specifications laid down by Keller,
and go right down the line in order.
Unless the committee gives in, l.
is likely that the hearings cannot
go on without another postpone
