CLARA PHILLIPS USED
 DISGUISE TO ESCAPE
State Department Convinced Woman
 Held Is Murderess

LOS ANGELES, April 24.-Clara Philips, in her sensational escape from the Los Angeles county jail, walked out the front gate disguised as a messenger boy.
 The bars in her cell were afterward cut as blind.
 At the jail door she was taken under the wing of man known as Jess Carsen, who had been paid $2,000 to chaperone her on her flight.
 The above allegations are being investigated by the district attor- neys office today in connection with its inquiry into the getaway of the hammer murderess"-now given added impetus by her reported cap ture at Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
 The sheriffs office today investi- gated a report that Clara was aided in her escape by General Yokoyama, a Japanese officer of the Mexican army.
 According to this report, which came from former prisoner, the gem eral, a jail companion of Clara's, ar ranged to finance the hammer slayers flight into Mexico.
 Yokoyama was released shortly be- fore Clara's escape, when 1t was inn possible to obtain enough evidence to convict him of charges of defrauding local orientals. He was ordered to leave the country. and was later re- ported living in Mexico.
 OFFICIALS CONVINCED
 WASHINGTON.

She will be held by the Honduras government pend ing the arrival of any request from the American government for her ex- tradition.
 Secretary of State Hughes himself announced the arrest of Mrs. Phillips and officials of the state department expressed the belief that there was no doubt as to her identity.
 Hughes has wired Honduras asking the governmental there to hold the all legged Hammer murderess" until the arrival of the request for extr adition. which is now being forwarded.

II was able to conclude that car

had not been inhaled. In other
words, the subject whose remains l
was examining was not breathing

"What then, il not the fire, hal

"Also, although the fire had taken
place in a cottage where everything
not destructible could be discovered
in the ruins, it was Impossible to
find pieces of money, watch, metal
buckles or anything of that nature
which would normally be present.
"And so I was able to present the
insurance company with this con-
clusion which resulted in their re-

I'VE learned that one afternoon
the undertaken told his partner he
was going to his summer bungalow

From the bungalow he later phoned
his partner that he would remain all
night.
About II p. m. the same night,
neighbors discovered that the bunga-
low was a mass of flames. When
searching parties went through the
ruins. the charred remains of the
body were discovered. Was it the
undertaker's body?
81 examined the remains and
pieced together the left thigh-bone
from the charred fragments. Now,
the thigh-bone of a man is approx
imately one-fourth the height of the
body. But the length of this thigh
bone showed that the deceased was
over six feet tall-probably six feet
one inch.
Il then examined. the papers made

But lest there be disappointment
later on, it has been decided by the
organizers, that instead of girls the
French delegation will be comprised
of rising young business men, repre-
senting the chief French industries in
every section of the country. Just
how they will be selected has not yet
been decided, but it is very probable
it will be through the French news
papers as was done in the United
States.
It has not yet been determined for
what purpose the money raised will
be used. The plan seemingly favored
is for the benefit of French scientific
laboratories many of which lack in
struments and equipment. The i'm
mense importance Of scientific re-
search as applied to modern business
would thus. be emphasized.

Dr.. Otto H. Schultze of
New York, Original Of
Famous Fiction Sleuth,
Explains His Methods.

New York. April 2s.-"Craig Ken
nedy, scientific detective" has beer
tracked down and unmasked
He is DR.. Otto II. Schultze, medica
assistant to the district attorney Of
New York and professor of medica,
jurisprudence in Cornell Medical
School.
''Dr. Schultze is the original Of
Craig Kennedy" the famous author
of the Craig Kennedy stories. Arthur
B. Reeve, acknowledged today. This
was after The Light reporter had dis
covered the parallel between Ken
nedy's exploits in fiction and Schultze's
exploits in real life, had made a cir
cumstantial case and had asked Reeve
If the deductions were correct. Reeve
said Eyes"
But Schultz, although long a
friend Of Reeve, had not known that
the author was usig him as a model
for Lis stories. Asked to tell some
actual adventures in the scientific de-
lection of crime, DR.. Schultze said:
"The edivence which the scientific
investigator secures by examining a
dead body is more likely TO be true
than statements Of eye-witnesses.
an New York some time ago a
man was tried and convicted for
murder. Two eye-witnesses. honest
and unbiased, testified that they saw
him stab the deceased. He was
known 10 be guilty of generalization
and malice aforethought.
"One of the eye-witnesses captured
the defendant while he still held an
open knife in his hand. The jury
found the prisoner guilty. Yet ex-
animation Of the dead body proved that
the man was innocent and saved him
from the chair.
What Actually Happened.
The victim was running down
street in the italian quarter. Two
eye-witnesses, one a policeman, saw
another man pursuing him. The
victim reeled and dropped as the pur-
suer caught up with him.
Zone of the eye-witnesses. police
man, grabbed the assailant. He held
an open knife in his left hand. The
first man was unconscious from
stab wound and died on the way to
the hospital.
The investigation developed that
the arrested man bore malice toward
the deceased. The jury found him
guilty of murder and he was sem
fenced TO the chair.
81 was called into the case and
performed an autopsy. The body
showed that the murdered man had
been stabbed with a stiletto which
penetrated seven inches and left
wound half inch wide. But the
knife in the hand of the defendant
was a pen-knife with blide one
and three-quarter inches long.
at was impossible, therefore. for
the convicted man to have inflicted
the wound with the knife which he
held in his hand when arrested.
"Now what really happened was
this: The victim had, been stabbed
by one enemy and then had run
threeb locks, leaving no trail of
blood. The wound drained into the
abdominal cavity. But be was pur-

fracture of the skull before regain
! ing consciousness.
Police investigated and found
bloody footprints in a nearby door
way. These prints, which were
made by bare feet, led TO a landing
up the stairs where large quantity
of blood was found. Then they con-
tinued 10 an apartment ON the second
floor occupied by middle-aged wom-
an.
Despite her protests, the police
searched the apartment. Hidden
away in a chest of drawers were the
straw hat and eyeglasses of the de-
ceased-smashed and blood-stained.
The waist of the woman, also blood
stained, was found hidden in a closet,
There was a flat-iron in the room.
when the police found that the
man had been in her apartment and
the base of the flat-iron fitted into
the dent in the straw hat, they ar
rested her. After an autopsy a local
physician reported that death was
due to fracture of the skull and that
parallel marks on the forehead of
the deceased corresponded TO creases
in the crown of the smashed straw
hat. The bloody prints of bare feet
were shown to be those of the sus-
rected woman.

but refused TO make any explana-
tons.
Il entered the case at that point
and had the body, now buried three
months, exhumed and performed an
autopsy.
Examination of the skull showed
five radiating fractures centering in
a common point behind the right ear
over which the skin had not been
broken. This eliminated the forehead
as the site of infliction of violence.
"The parallel marks on the fore
head described in the first autopsy
were examined. We found that they
were on the right side. The dent in
the straw hat was on the left. l then
measured the marks carefully and
found that they did not correspond

I The Arthur Waite Case.
when DR.. Arthur Waite, a New
York dentist. was sent to the electric
chair for the poisoning of his father
in-law, the scientific investigation OF
crime won one of its most famous
victories.
This is the statement of DR..

The first suspicion that Waite's
father-in-law, who died after a long
illness, had come to his end through
unnatural cause was when a tele-
gram. Suspicious Aroused, Insist on

of the deceased. The telegram was

New York TO Grand Rapids, where it
was TO be cremated.
Acting on this telegram the son
.of the deceased wired to Grand Rad
ids and had his family physician per-
form an autopsy. The physician re-
moved the stomach. sent it 10 Ann
Arbor for analysis. and was in
formed that the analysis disclosed
the presence of arsenic.

school at Triton, was among the twen-
ty-two students whose class records
exempted them from all final examin-
ations for the fall term. This young
man is to congratulated for the fine
record he has made. He finished his
school work Saturday, December IS,
and is at home for the Christmas holi-
days.
After winning out in a safe contest
with the other Georgia A. & M. schools
the Triton A. & M. Stock Judging
Team of three boys went to the Inter
national Livestock Exposition at Chi
cago to compete against teams from
the other states. Milton Southwel1, of
Reidsville, made highest score of all
competitors in beef cattle and the Tif-
ton team as whole lead all other
teams in judging beef animals. In the
total score the team tied for fifth
place. Nebraska was first with score
of 1885 points and Georgia was only
10 points behind. This is a splendid
showing for the Triton A. & M. school
especially in view of the fact that it
had to compete against teams from
the greatest stock raising states of the
North and West. Professor B. L.
Southwell trained the Triton team.
