FAMILY BELIEVES
MISSING TRIO MET
WITH ACCIDENT
By United Press Leased Wire

SAN DIEGO, Sept. IS - Belief
that Frank Walters, La Jolla oil
man, and Mr.. and Mrs. Albert La
IIuis of iceland, Mich, missing
since August IS, have met with an
accident, was expressed by friends
of Walter in La Jolla today.
In a denunciation and denial of
statements issued by Los Angeles
attorneys for La Huis, which tend
to indicate that there was some
thing fraudulent in Walters dealings
with La Huis, Russell Drinkwater,
friend of the Walter family, today
issued the following statement:
of these attorneys are giving
the case this angle in order to create
interest and get publicity in the
search, statement of these facts
to Mrs. Walter and friends would be
appreciated.
"It is quite enough to have a
member of the family disappear
without having these suspicious
arise. The family is of the firm
conviction that an accident has be-
fallen the trio, which, with the un-
certainty of the affair, is enough to
bear without having groundless
rumors broadcast. y
Advices from Bakersfield indicate
that an arplane search of all Kern
county will be made for the missing
trio.
They went to Bakersfield on Aug.
ust Is to inspect some oil properties
which La Huis is said to have
bought from Walter.
The ease assumed national as
pect yesterday when the governor
of Michigan communicated with
Governor Young asking that every
effort be made to find Mr. and Mrs
La Huis, who formerly w7re resi-
dents of Michigan.

RYE"S COUNSEL
SEEKS RETRIAL.
in HOLDJP CASE
Motion for New Trial
Stays Court Sentence of
Defendant.

Hand Of the court in sentencing
Huston " Red Rye to not less than
five years in the state penitentiarv
was stayed this morning when s.
p. Williams, defense counsel, asked
the court for hearing on a motion

King Kcndle store in Sandia sever
al weeks ago.
In placing his motion before the
court, Williams furnished several
grounds for such motion but
stressed the point of the finding OF
new evidence.
Defense counsel also indicated
that Edgar B. Hervey, San Diego
attorney, formerly of FL Centre and
regarded as one of the best criminal
attorneys in this county during his
practice here, would be associated
with the defense when the case came
before the court for hearing on the
motion.
Rye and two companions are alleg
ed to have visited the Sandia store
and at the point of guns relieved
those in the store Of more than 500
in cash. Jim - Connors, co-defen
dant with Rye, was dismissed and
then called to the stand testified
that he had accompanied Rye and
& companion named "Tex' to the
store. There he waited outside
while the other two performed the
holdup, he declared.
ConnorS and Rye were apprehend
cd by police at Indio on the night
of the holdup in company with three
other men. They were in the ear
alleged to have been used in the
holdup and two guns, identified as
those used by the intruders, were
found in the machine.

KELLEY IS
ORDERED

November % Set as Date
for Execution; Judge
Refuses New Trial.
WILL TAKE APPEAL
Butcher Boy Appears
Undisturbed by Death
Sentence. J
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1s.-Leo
p. Kelley, butcher boy, today NNls
ordered to be hanged by the neck
until dead for the murder of Mrs.
Myrtle Mcllus, society matron.
November % was set as the data
for his execution. In passing SEN
tcnce. Superior Judge Fletcher
Rowron refused motion for new
trial.
Kellev's counsel announced an APP
peal will be taken.
Before Judge Bowron sentenced
the butcher boy he listened to 4
lengthy appeal of Attorney ). >.
Hahn for new trial.
Hahn declared that the state
failed to prove malice or premedita-
tion and that the first degree MUIR
der verdict therefore was not III
keeping with the evidence.
He drew a picture of the love OF
the meat cutter for the older woman
over the five years of their illieiT
relationship.
Finally Hahn asked that Judge
Rowron act as 1.-THE 18th juror and
order the first degree conviction be
reduced to manslaughter
The jurist answered that when
death occurred during the commits
sion of felony, it was first degree
murder regardless of malice or pre-
meditation. He said the trial jury
was justified in its verdict and de-
MED all motions.
lie then sentenced Kelley in the
following words:
cleo p. Kelley, it is the judg.
ment and order Of this court that
you suffer the penalty of death.
You will be taken to San Quentin
and there he hanged by the neck
until dead between the hours of 10
a. m. and p. m. November 23
Kelley did not lose the poise
which he held through the trial and
he appeared undisturbed outwardly
at the passing of the sentence.
Seven men and five women sat in
the jury which returned the first
degree verdict without recommen-
datioQ of leniency. This verdict
automatically called for the death
penalty.
The state contended at the trial
that Kelley killed Mrs. Mellus af-
ter making an attack on her during
love tryst August in the alb
sence of her husband.
Kelley denied guilt and his at
torneys attempted to prove that the
deceived husband, Frank Mellus,
was as open to suspicion as Kelley.

By United Press Leased Wire

The tropical hurricane, one of the
most devastating and extensive ON
record, was spending its fury in the
United States today, leaving behind
il Il trail of almost Il thousand miles
of wreckagc and death.
Starting at the bottom of the Ca
ribbean Sea near South America last
Wednesday, he storm moved over
the scattered islands of the tarib-
Lean, advancing steadily along Il
curved course over islanu after
island until it reached the United
States.
Curving sraward again after its
destruction in Florida, it moved to
the northwest and storm warnings
were posted as far north as Boston,
which would make the whole path
OF the storm about 1000 miles.
The deaths could not be estimated
accurately, but may be more than
! 900. The most reliable figures in
dicatcd ~ deaths in Florida, 80 in
Guadcloupe. more than 200 in Porto
Rico, and scattered death in other
places.
The first point to report damage
from the storm was Martinique,
French colony in the Windward
Islands, although points south of
there may have been stricken and
have not yet been reported.
Leaving three dead in Martinique,
the storm passed over Dominica, a
British island to the north, where it
