His Employ.
BY the Associated Press.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August Ii
Deputy Prohibition Administrator FINS
E. Wilson said today he believed there
was no basis for theory of sheriff s
deputies that young woman found
dead in a culvert here Saturday had
been slain by bootleggers in revenge for
her activities as an ''under-cover
agent"
The woman has been identified ten
tatively as Miss Clara Patterson, no.
tel employe.
Chief Deputy Charles Garibaldi had
said he believed she was an informer
for Federal officers
I'VE never heard of the woman, never
used women in any way to get evidence,
and did not use her house as trap for
violators," Wilson said. ut so happens
that her house was a place where liquor
is delivered frequently. Knowing that
it was that kind of place, we have called
bootleggerS there and have arrested
them, but we didn't pick it as a trap"
Another agent had said he had made
arrests there, and that some one might
have believed Miss Patterson response

Meanwhile, Paul Waggoner, finger

complete prints of the woman, so bad

Party regularity will be the principal
issue before Nebraska voters as they
decide tomorrow whether to nominate
Senator George w. Norris for re-elec-
ton as Republican.
Administration Republicans and sup
porters of State Treasurer w. M. Steb-

Republican.

an attack of Senator Norris record, in
GLIDING his bolt to the Democratic party

heard a terrible crash.
THE young man next door said he
would call the officers, and I hung
around the garage, afraid to go inside.
The maid and I stayed out in the back
yard for about half an hour. We
couldn't hear any sound from the house
and began to believe somebody must be
dead in there. I went over to the neigh
bors, and the young man called the
police again, and they came pretty soon
after that"
Several times, while other witnesses
were on the stand, Quill objected audi
bly, to their statements and had TO be
silenced by his attorney, Charles w.
Darr.
The first witness was DR.. Thomas j
Kennedy of 1909 Georgia avenue, who
pronounced Pearson dead. DR.. Ken
nedy said that Pearson had been pa
had been subject to violent nervous
disorders. He said he found the body
slightly bloody about the face, lying
beside the dining table
Marie Washington, the colored maid,
of 344 street southwest, said she saw
Pearson sitting on the back porch be-
fore the argument started. She said
she was not an eyewitness to Pearsons
fall and could not recall many details
of the afternoon.
Policeman Edward H. Henson of No
10 precinct testified he was sent to the
Quill home at 800 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon. Quinn let him in at the
front door and he found the body UNI
disturbed. He asked what doctor he
should summon and Quinn suggested
that DR.. Kennedy had looked after
Pearson.
Declares Fight Denied.
Lieut.. John H. Fowler said he visited
the home about half an hour after
Henson's arrival. Quill was seated at
the dining room table and Pearson's
body was lying where it had fallen
Fowler said he asked Quill at the time
if there had been night and that
Quinn had replied quickly in the mega
tive.
About three hours later" Fowler
continued, after I had taken Quill
to the precinct station he sent for me
and told me he wanted to change his
story. He admitted hitting Pearson"
Deputy Coroner Mcdonald, who con-
Quoted an autopsy over Pearsons body
at the District Morgue yesterday morn
ing, testified the veterinarians death
was occasioned by cerebral hemorrhage
and shock" He said plate of Pearson's
false teeth had been twisted and driven
out of place, apparently by the force
of a blow. There also were scratches
on one hand, on the cheeks nose, and
chin Of the dead man and the interior
of his mouth was lacerated. McDon-
aid reported further that Pearson had
had a chronic ailment of the heart
and other prominent physical impair
