Officials Will
Question Collie
Continued From Page II

Usleton, were indicted by the grand
jury for the murder, but were freed
when the case against them was
dismissed for lack of evidence TO
prosecute.
Speer, still a resident Of Brawley,
appeared before the district attor-
ney after hearing Of Collie's posi-
BILE connection with the case, to re-
quest a thorough investigation, de-
claring such step might entirely
clear his name of all suspicion.
Threat Revealed
The investigation disclosed a
chain Of circumstance closely link
ing Woods and Collie before the
former disappeared. One Brawley
man declared ne knew Collie when
the suspected murderer was a
blacksmith in Brawley.
On one occasion some time before
Woods disappeared, this man said,
Collie came to him and wanted to
borrow his revolver, saying he knew
an old fellow named Barney Woods
who always carried big roll. and
that he, Collie, would get that roll
If he could borrow a gun.
Another suspicious circumstance
is that Collie left Imperial Valley
not long after Woods disappeared.
Bill Slaughter furnished much of
the information on which the dis
trict attorneys office bases its just
ification for an interview with Col
lie. Slaughter said Collie came to
him several days before Woods dis
appeared and wanted TO trade cars
with him. When Slaughter woulo,
not trade, Collie drove off.
Several days later, and after
Woods disappeared, Collie returned
with a horse which he wished to
sell to Slaughter. The latter would
not buy the horse, and Collie left
it there, saying he had no use foy
| it. Slaughter's children kept the
horse 10 ride until he finally got
rid of it, he said. Later he was
informed the horse had belonged
to the missing Barney Woods
Slaughter told investigators.
Collie was known in Brawley as
Frank Collie. He worked for Ralph
Anderson there. and also worked
with Barney Woods on several &C.
casions.

tied by agreement today, the film
star paying her 100 pounds which
she claimed for services rendered
and also the costs of the case.
Frior to the settlement, Chaplin
appeared in Westminster county
court, after the presiding judge. Sir
Alfred Tobin, had refused to accept
a statement from Chaplin unde.
oath. When Chaplin's counsel sug-
gested a settlement might b
reached if the comedian was al
lowed to make a statement, Judge
Tobin remarked. Why should I
hear Mr.. Chaplin on oath except
at the proper time?"
Chaplin. his counsel explained,
ha6 thought Miss Shepherd had
been paid in full and decided to fight
the case. but was astonished and
panied when the names of very dis
tingrished and influential friends
were banded about in court"
Later. noticing Chaplin sitting
beside his counsel in front of the
court, the judge rebuked him.
ut is the practice of this court, >
ne said, "for counsel only to occupy
those front benches. I cannot have
liberties taken by other people"
Chaplin arose hastily and took a
seat two rows farther back.
Judge Tobin, who administered
a public rebuke to Charlie Chaplin
