? many respects a most painful
case that I have to lay before
you. 1t is also, l will say in ad-
vance, a singularly clear one.
1.-THE prisoner in the dock is
not only related by ties of blood
to Lady Tallbois, whose death, it
is alleged, she attempted to COM
pass, but she is also an ex-claim-
ant to the title and estates that
Lady Tallbois holds. This bears
SO directly upon the case for the
prosecution, that 1 must make
it completely clear to YOU" ,r>
He related the story of the Tall
bois claimants; all in court knew
it well, yet all listened intently
while he outlined it. He certainly
made it clear enough. AS he told
it, the. tale took a new and grim
significance.
I'VE come then,'' he said, 'to
the date November II last, when
Lady Tallbois, in legalized posses.
sion of her, estates and honors,
journeyed down to the family seat
at Knayth, where a party of
guests had been hidden in celebra-
ton of her entry Lady Tallbois
brought with her the keys of the
strong room at Knayth, that had
been formally delivered to her by
the trustees of the estate.
con the afternoon Of the nth,
Lady Tallhois herself opened the
doors Of the strong room, which,
it was well known, should have
contained among other things q
family heirloom which is world
famous under the name of the
Knayth necklace; a thing Of
pearls worth between twenty and
thirty thousand pounds.
The necklace was missing.
"It appeared to Lady Ta1lbois
that only one person could ever
have had access to that strong
room-the prisoner. For Joan
Mottisfont, during her brief reign
as Viscountess Tallbois, had her.
self been at Knayth and had pos.

Lady TalIbois determined to
visit Mrs. Mottisfont at once,
rather than inform the police, and
to put the matter to her person

necklace. Lady Tallbois, con-
WINGED that she had it. offered
to let the whole matter remain

first witness declared the lease had
been of great benefit to the govern

in entire accord with him as to all
provisions of the lease and in the
view that development of the field
was essential to protect the govern
ment from further loss thru drain
age of oil. There had been COM
plete cooperation. he said, between
the two departments in negotiating
the lease. which provided among
other things, for the storage of
emergency supplies of fuel oil for the
navy to be obtained as royalty from
the crude oil production of the field.
Secretary DENLY told the com
mittee he had initiated the transfer
of the control of all naval reserves
from the navy to the interior de-
partment. He read letters showing
hat 1t was his opinion that the
custody of the oil lands properly
belonged TO the interior department,
among them one to the president
in which he stated that Secretary
Fall would give his best efforts "to
conserve underground as much oil
as possible"
The officer in charge of the navy
bureau which had supervision OF the
reserves opposed the transfer. Sec.
rotary DENLY said, and replying to
questions by Senator Walsh, Demo.
