BISCAILUZ DENIES CLAIM HE MADE
UNUSUAL OFFER TO CLARA PHILLIPS
Present Los Angeles Sheriff Reveals Circumstances
Surrounding Woman's Return From
Honduras In 1923

escaped Jail in Los Angeles and
fled to Honduras.
The Tiger Woman" was under
sentence of life Imprisonment at
the time.
Sheriff Traeger," OBrien ex-
planned, sent Biscailuz, who was
the undersheriff, to Honduras to
return Clara to Los Angeles Mrs.
BiScailuz, who was a matron, ac-
companied him.
When Biscailuz arrived in Hon.
duras, he discovered that he would
be unable to extradite Mrs. Phil
lips because there was no agree
ment between the United States
and Honduras providing for extra
dition on a murder charge.
Refused To Return
Clara refused to return. She
felt she had had a raw deal and
was unwilling to return to serve
her sentence" he continued.
"Biscailuz, however, promised
her certain concessions, including
a new trial, to get her to return
with him. She agreed and they
came back to the United States.
The bargain was illegal and not
binding as Biscailuz had no auth
ority to offer such a deal
''Traeger, meantime, instructed
Biscailuz to take Clara directly to
San Quentin to begin her life
term"
Emphasizing that his statement
was not to be taken as an official
representation of the prison board
but as his own opinion, O'Brier
said:
"The board felt that Mrs. Phil
lips had served a term proper
tionate to that man would have
had to serve for a similar crime
I firmly believe that she was en-,
titled to parole. The board!
views were the same"
He said the Tehachapi prison
matron had endorsed Mrs. Phil
lips parole application and that
the only opposition came from
clubwomen.

Better food and removal OF the

late today by a leader of the

themselves in the prison mine 720
feet below the ground.
The mutinous prisoners COM

Lacey M. Simpson after they re-
paired one of the telephone lines
into the mine which they broke
early today when the mutiny
started. The warden said he did
not know which prisoner talked
with him.

LANSING, Kan, June 18. W.P)-
Rioting broke out today in the coal
mine at the Kansas state prison
when $50 mutinous prisoners tried
to rush the gun cage 720 feet be-
low ground.
They were driven back with tear
gas.
Four guards, equipped with gas
masks, were in the gun cage wher
the prisoners surged into the room
at the foot Of the shaft and triec
to fight their way into the cage
with its supplies of guns, ammun-

The guards Immediately un-
leashed their gas guns and as the
acrid fumes spread through the
low-ceilinged room and passages
the prisoners fell back.
Those in tie cage included o. M
Johnson, who early today fought
of five prisoners with gas when
they tried to pile coal cars into the
cage.
With Johnson were Fred Murray
John Christian and John Stewart.
The gun cage rests at the foot of
the air shaft, only passage to the
mine now open, and is so situated
that those inside it can rake the
mine level with guns if necessary.
The charge on the gun cage was

hear the barking of dog without this
same feeling.
Because his mother had only Slim
legs left to watch over and teach, he

when Lightfoot his father, joined
them he learned even more rapidly.
You see, he was filled with admira-
tion for his father. He wanted to be
just like him, and everything that he
saw Lightfoot do he did, or tried to
do.
From both father and mother he
learned the Importance of using his
wonderful nose at all times. He
learned to know the scents that were
harmless. He learned to know the
scents that were warning of danger.
He learned to circle before lying down.
That was to get the scent of any
enemy that might be lurking near.
He learned to know his neighbors
those that were harmless and which
to be diStrusted and to fear. He learned
to understand the meaning of the calls
of some of the feathered folk He
learned to know when the actions OF
hnth ft,rr
meant that they were alarmed and
that this always called for watchful-
ness on his part. My, my, my, such
lot there is for little deer to learn!
Mother showed him what was good
to eat. You see. he learned a great
deal just by doing what Mother did.
If Mother passed something that
looked good to eat, he passed it, and
always passed it thereafter. If Mother
paused to listen to some strange note,
he listened too, and if she appeared
a bit anxious he knew that it meant
something to be suspicious of. There
after, whenever he heard that note,
he would always be suspicious.
Very early one morning, as they
were settling themselves for the day,
having been roaming about most Of
the night, Sammy Jay began to scream
some distance off in the Green Forest.
Listen to that fellow said Mother.

Slimlegs shook his head. NO" said
he. What does it mean?"
"It means that Sammy Jay sees

"I don't believe he could catch me.

you can now," said Slimlegs.
Mrs. Lightfoot shook her head.
"Yowler will never try to catch you

According to the original ANALYSIS,
the club finesse must be taken
eventually, and the sinister hand put
in the lead. Therefore "the club
finesse must work." Declarer cashes
three diamonds, two spades, and the
heart which he took right away. Then
he prayerfully takes the club flnesse.
The possibility of a four-three heart
division is not to be ignored. If
such is the case, the opponents can
take only one club and three hearts,
but by carefully setting up spade and

down anyway.
