REDDING, CaL. July 19. Two men. or m man and a woman joined in the murder of William C. Landls, the Buckeye merchant who was shot from ambush last night. An autopsy today showed that Landis, beside receiving a breast wound which caused his death. was shot in the arm, and the bullets taken from the wounds were of dlf ferent caliber. The police believe, it possible that the smaller bullet was fired by the woman, imprints of whose shoes were found near the body. The wildest storm remembered in this part of the state washed away the outline of these footmarks and today the po lice had nothing- to work upon, but the knowledge that a woman was at the scene of them.

DETECTIVE AXD JEWELS GOXE Pawnbroker Uses Own Judgment, Over Advice of Police. . OAKLAND, July 19.

Bernstein said tonight the Jewels he gave to WTarren consisted of the fol lowing articles, valued at not more than $1000, although Warren appraised them at $1500: One pearl scarf pin set with diamonds, one opal brooch set with diamonds, one marquise diamond ring set with three rubies, three loose diamonds. A telegram from San Diego, signed Mrs. j. w. Warren, asking if her hus band had arrived in Oakland, and re questing that he telegraph his wife promptly, was received by the police department here on July 15.
