MURDER ANGLE
FOUND IN CASE
OF HUDSON CAR

The long arm of the law, reach
ing from Aqua Prieta, Mexico
through Douglas, Ariz., to Del Rio,
Texas, tensed itself from one end
to the other Saturday when quest
for the man who stole the Hudson
coach found in Del Rio on Jan.
i26 suddenly turned to that for a
man allegedly wanted for foul
murder "It''
The coach was stolen from an
Aqua Prieta citizen at Christmas
time in an epidemic of car thefts.
Officers worried over it because it's
prolonged disappearance threatened
to break the record for recoveries
of stolen cars. j. A. Tilley, customs
inspector at Del Rio, Texas, found
the car on Jan. 26 and, Tom Glenn,
local insurance agent, sent a man
to drive the machine back here.
Officers wrote the episode off
their books and were only awaiting
the capture of the car thief to close
were received over Sunday from
Customs Inspector Tilley, of Del
Rio, saying that on Feb. 4, early
III the morning, the body of an aged
women who had apparently been
murdered was found hidden within
65 feet of where the car was found
abandoned.
Tilley writes that the woman.
who is unidentified, had apparently
been dead 10 days, that she had
been beaten over the head with
some blunt instrument and that she
appeared to be about 60 years Of
age. He asked that the officers
here, who first started the quest for
their efforts to discover if this dead
woman may not be someone from
Douglas and if the man cannot be
identified who stole the car.
Tilley does not say in his care
fully penned letter to officers here
that this murder was done by the
man who stole the car. He does,
however, link the two occurrances
in every way but by direct state
ment and leads the local officers to
believe that if the man is arrested
who drove the Hudson coach from
Aqua Prieta to Del Rio and there
abandoned it, proof will be forth
coming. that this man also carried
with him, possibly from some inter-
mediate point, an aged woman who
was beaten to death, presumably
for money or valuables she had in
her possession, at the point where
the car was abandoned.
The Del Rio sleuth and customs
Inspector suggests in his letter that
he has information as to the exact
identity of the man who drove the
stolen car and says that to the best
of his ability and belief arrest will
he made within two days. Officers
here are checking nume"oua posi-
bilities in connection with the muir
dered woman and are on the alert
generally.

WILL BE- TRIED
ON WEDNESDAY

Owing to the critical illness of
Charles Rogers, colored, who was
to have been tried for murder in

been temporarily set aside and on

quite bit Of comment when he de-
Tended himself at his preliminary
hearing held in local justice court.
Just what attorney or firm Of
attorneys will defend Willis in the
superior court could not be learned
last evening, but aside from the
peculiar local interest that attaches
to the case because the complain
ing witness is an old resident Of
Douglas, the legal abilities OF Willis
are expected to attract interest
and many witnesses are being sum-
moned from Douglas. Besides the
WllHGSB dilO iltI lulUlS-
6iate family there will be a repre-
sentative of The Dispatch and
representative Of at least one Of the
local banks put on the stand by the
state if plans that are now forming
in the offices Of the county attorney
materialize.
1t is expected that the trial OF
the case will take two or three days
as Willis was connected, at the time
the matter causing the action came
up, with manufacturing firm
operating in the Phoenix area and
the books of that firm, now discon-
tinued, and thu various representa-
tives of the firm will play big
part in the trial. several OF the
having testified both for
the state and for Willis at the pre-
liminary and more being expected

SCOUTS PREPARE
FOR FINAL WORK
In FUNDS DRIVE

Boy Scouts of the Douglas dis
trict and their adult leaders are
marshalling their forces this week
for the annual drive for funds with
which to carry on the work of
scouting. The work has been go
ing on quietly for a month and
little pledge cards have been dis
tributed throughout the district on
which the men and women of the
city have been asked to write down
the amounts they will be able to
give toward the movement this
year.
A new slogan in drives for funds
has been adopted in that the execu-
tive committee of scouting agreed
that instead of attempting to Sc
cure a small number of large dona-
tions this year they would try for
large number of small donations.
They report that there is every indi-
cation that the plan is going to
bring in larger returns than the old
method.
Meeting of the American Legion
have been Monday evening, was
postponed because some of the
members reported that they would
have better plan and a broader
system for operation worked out
later in the week. The various
troop committees are organizing
strongly this year and it is freely
predicted that the drive for funds
will bring in more money than ever
before and that both from finan-
cial standpoint and from strength
in adult leaders scouting is to be
bigger and better in Douglas this
year.
