Insanity Plea May
Be Defense~of Woman
In Hammer Murder

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July Co.
Filing of a demurrer to the inlict-
ment charging her with the murder
of Mrs. Alberta Meadows was a
prospect at the pleading here to-
day of Mrs. Clara Phillips, accused
OF beating the young widow to death
with a hammer Her attorneys said
they expected to file demurrer, bui
did not disclose it's probable basis.
They added that if the demurrer
WAS overruled, the plea of mot gull
ty'' would be entered.
Exceptions were that insanity
would form the basis of the defense.
The district attorneys office in.
dictated every effort would be made
to have Mrs. Phillips brought to-
trial as quickly as possible, within
two months, if the court would
agree.
The defense, however, frankly
stated such a move would be vigor-
ously opposed.
Next to the eyewitness story of
Mrs. Peggy Caffee, who said she
accompanied Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Meadows on the automobile ride
wtlch ended in Mrs. Meadows death,
tde state is said to regard as of most
Importance so far in their search
for evidence, a statement of a sales
woman who sold hammer to won-
an answering the description of Mrs.
Phillips. 20
According to this clerk, the WON
an weighed the hammer carefully in
her hand and then asked:
do you think this is heavy
enough to kill man with?"
And the clerk, thinking the cus.
toner was joking. smiled and re-
piled:
