Former Savannah Woman,
in Letter to Father, De-
SCribes Arrival of HAM
mer Woman" in TeguCi-
gaIpa, Honduras
BY w. G. SUTLIVE

w NJ ~ II
SAVANNAH, Ga, May 17.-Clara
Phillips talked too much
That is the real reason why the
Los Angeles hammer murderess was
captured in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
She and her two companions devel-
Oped extreme loquaciousness follow
ing their arrival and they kept on
talking until they were landed in
Jail to await return. to the United
States. Clara Phillips has just been
positively identified there.
A descriptive recital of the arriv-
al of the Tiger Womany' so-called,
reached here today in letter to Dr..
H. S. Colding from his daughter,
Mrs. Adam r. Gordon, a resident
of Tegucigalpa and wife Of the man
ager of the Rsario silver mines
there.
'It was an "event" in the city when
the Americans. two women and a
man, reached there, the letter says.
The women made the trip with a
male companion in the freight truck
from San Lorenzo, something IN
heard of in that section.
THE trio registered as Mr.. and
Mrs. j. c. Carson and Mrs. r. M.
Young" the letter continued. The
women were young, good looking,
we'll groomde and wore beautiful
clothes. We of the American col
Ony greeted them but they said lit
tie about themselves at the outset.
Carson explained he came from
New Orleans, having been driven out
of the grocery business there by the
chain store system. He said he
went to Mexico, but could find no
business in that country, and so
headed for this place.
He told us he had lost 100000
in cattle in Mexico, but still had half
a million to invest. His and the
Womans varying stories finally
aroused suspicion, for why should
an American, with no knowledge of
the country, come here to invest?
Then they kept away from the
American consul, another amazing
proposition, because usually the first
visit of a new arrival is to the dip
lomatic representative.
while visiting with one of the
Americans, Honduras officials cam
and questioned Carson. He said he
and Mrs. Carson had been married
thirteen years, gave her maiden
name, etc. Later. he said he had
been mistaken for some one called
Phillips and said he was going to
ask the consul to help him out.
THAT afternoon we were told they
all had been arrested and were be-
ing held for the California authori-
ties. The women are IN the police
station, where they have the run
of fo,1r rooms and their meals are
sent in from the local hotel. Car
son is held in the penitentiary and
he has been furnished with blankets
and other necessities by Minister
Morales.
Neither the women nor Carson
will talk and insist they are inEo-
cent Of any wrong doing and that a
terrible mistake will be revealed
when the Los Angeles officials reach
here. Neither woman is what my
idea Of a murderess would be-"

COTTON

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The cot
ton market opened easy at a decline
of "a to S3 points because Of d'sap-
pointing cables, the favorable show
ing of yesterdays late w~ather map,
and reports of a little more mill
cu:tailment in Fall River. jury sold
off to 24.96 and October to 2"93
right after the cali, making pet de-
clines of 81 to 35 points, but this
decline seemed to bring in buying
which was believed to be partly for
trade account and prices soon
ateadied. Fall River sales of print
cloths for the week were estimated
at $4,000 pieces, and according 10
private reports nine of the Fall
River mills are now curtailing their
operations to four days per week.
= Private cables reported q very quiet
market at Liverpool with business
restricted by the proximity or the
Whitsuntide holidays. Liverpool
will be closed from today until next
Tuesday morning.
The market was irmer late in the
morning on reports OF an increasing
spot demand and claims that a
higher basis was being paid for cot
ton in the south. Trade interests
were among the buyers here, and old
crop months were relatively strong
with May selling up to 27.02 and
July to 1858 early in the noon hour
or 80 to 46 points net higher. Not
withstanding prospects for unsettled
showcry weather in the south, new
crop months did not fully follow the
advance in old crop positions and
there was some selling Of October
against purchases of July. The
early losses were recovered, how
ever with October selling up 10
2S.2S or points net higher.
Trading was quieter during the
early afternoon, and there was some
scattered realization, but the under
tone was steady at reaction of from
10 to 20 points from the best. July
sold around 25.45 and October 22,1S
ut 2 o'clock.
