VlSION RETURNS 10 TAMPA WOMAN HELD IN SHAVING.
Now Believes She Is The Queen Of Universe.
 Daughter Is Calm

.s TAMPA, Fla, arch415.-FollOwing . recurrence of the 'pbession that she is queen of the universe, Laura Eva Win chester, religious fanatic, held in the Hillsborough county jail with her daughter, John Eva,s as result of the murder of her husband, John Edwin Winchester at Seffner early Thursday morning, has been placed in a padded cell by order of Sheriff W. c. Spence. A coroner's jury found Winchester came to his death by being trampled, and ordered Mrs. Winchester and her daughter held for the killing.
 The apparent return to sanity, noted Thursday evening when Mrs. Winches- ter. became calm and declared that she had been hypnotized by Raymond Riehey, healer evangelist at St. Peters burg, gave way as the midnight hour approached Thursday to condition which coincides with what her daughter describes as the same demented state that characterized her actions of the preceding night, eliminating in the death of her husband, under circum- stances declared by officers to be the most unusual of record in this section of the state.
 Daughter Is Calm
 In another cell at the jail, John Eva, the 16-year-old girl who admits she stamped her father to death at her mothers bidding while he lay helpless on the ground, presumably the victim nf a same calm and apparently normal per son, who,. very composedly told the story of the killing. She discussed, still, off cers state, the death of her father, and other than the "real cry" she says she indulgel in at the home of a neighbor, preceding her arrest, she has not shown the slightest trace of an emotional breakdown. Today she repeated state ment made the preceding day: "It was so like terrible nightmare; I was dreadfully frightened"
 At Seffner, the scene of the killing, there seems to be not the slightest doubt in the minds of neighbors that the deed was the rseult of the mothers distorted intellect which drove her to compel the daughter through fear of death to com init the deed. A petition calling upon the county judge to appoint lunacy commission to determine the sanity of Mrs. Winchester, circulated Friday, was signed by five representative citizens of the community. The petition was pre- scented to Julian l.. Hazard, judge of the county court, early Saturday morning.
 Denies Hypnotism
 Raymond Richey, ''healer evangel- list,'- who is conducting a revival at St. Petersburg, today characterized Mrs. Winchester's charge that he had hypno- tized her as absurd. He also denied that he had suggested anything to her which could have caused her to consider her self appointed as she claims, queen of the universe
 ''It is not fair" the evangelist con- cluded, Ito insinute that the unfortu- nate woman's attendance at the meet ings here resulted in working Ter dis ordered mind into frenzy which fervor was productive of the murder"

 The prince was kicked in the fscs by his steed as he fell and his features were covered with blood as he was placed on stretcher and carried from the field to a first aid hospital
 His injuries were not serious, how evar, and he recovered consciousness in time to object to being carried on the stretcher, insisting that he. was able tc walk.
 This was the second fall the prince had suffered during the day, but he picked himself unscathed from tum ble in an earlier race. . 2
 Meanwhile, Prince Henry, his brother also had two falls, which did not prove serious, although on the second oc casion he crashed into a cyclist and his horse was cut about the knees.
 On his second and more serious tumble, Smiling Eddie" probably saved himself from more severe injury by protecting himself with his out stretched hands and as he crashed tt the ground, lessening the impact on his head.
 The prince came to grief while rep resenting the Welsh guards in the army steeplechase for the cup offered by -tht Earl of Cavan.
 The crash came at the second fence and stretcher bearers broke records ir reaching the spot.
 Extremely worried about the bloot running down his brothers face, tn, Duke of York accompanied the stretchel bearers as they carried the prince t.

 With gun running rampant on the border, he said, he was ordered to close his office at Del Rio and go to Dallas, leaving 200-mile stretch of border unprotected so far. as the de- partment of justice was concerned. His testimony, Senator Wheeler as- sured the committee, was but "a link in chain" of evi .ence by which he expects to demonstrate that American oil interests were behind revolutionary activities in Mexico.
 Other high spots of Captain Bald wins testimony were that he received orders, after making q report on Dis trict Attorney Zeifel to cease investi- gating federal officers. and that dur ing the administration of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, the de- partment of justice gave orders stop ping its agents from prohibition en- forcement work, an order which, he said, was still in force.

 The committee also had on the stand for few minutes today K. c.
