TEGUCIGALPA.. Honduras. May
19.-Hoping to bring Clara Phillips
back to the Los Angeles jail from
which h escaped months ago only
to roam owe Mexico and fall into
hands of authorities here, Under
sheriff Biscailuz, of Los Angeles
county. tonight is attempting to ar
range for her deportation.
Extradition documents have been
delayed and Biscailuz fears she may
commit suicide or escape.
II would rather die than return to
a Quentin for life" she told au-
thorities. A careful watch is being
maintained over her.
American Minister Morales has ar
ranged n conference with the presi-
dent OF Honduras. He will seek to
have the hammer murderess' con
victed of staying Mrs. Alberta
Meadows turned over to Blscailuz i'm
mediately.
Clara greeted Biscailuz in sullen
silence when he confronted her ut
police headquarters. in the presence
OF the American minister and local
authorities.
well, Clara. you gave us a merry
chase" Biscailuz said. smiling.
The "tlger woman only stared In
tently al the floor.
Yes" he continued. "and we are
going to take you back"
Still she gave 10 sign that she
knew ne vas in the room.
1t developed after the sherif's
arrival that the woman who was held
here rs Mrs. Young" and who. for
a time posed as Clara, is a sister OF
the murderess. She is known in Los
Angeles as Eta May Weaver. When
she was brought into the room, the
sheriff looked at her and said:
TT was quite cure Of you to ask
me to get Clara's clothes after she
had made her escape"
When Eta May did not answer. he
continued:
Where was Clara when you asked
for her clothes?"
She shrugged her shoulders at this.
"How did / known she said.
IT wanted to get them to keep for
myself"
Officials fear there may be some
difficulty in the extradition proceed
ings. Eta May is not wanted IN
California and the Jesse Carson, who
posed as husband Of Clara IS facing
no California Indictment. In view OF
these circumstances. 1t is considered
likely that only Clara viii be brought
