Clar ence Walker declared this morning' that I, )s mother offered to divide the for tune with the .other children, but they refused this and started a fight to get possession of the estate, i "" . . , Tfn days ago Mr. Walker and Clar. ence Walker left Salt Lake City for Seattle tn an automobile. They, went la the machine as far as North Yaki ma, Wash.c end took a train- from there to Seattle. The other claimants to the estate ehai-ged that they were trying to escspe from the Jurisdiction Of the court and also that they had taken with them securities of the value of tM.000, defying the order of the court to leave the estate Intact. ' , "' In addition to placing employ;' Of the Thiol Detective, Agency . on their track, they appeared before the federal court and eptered.compIa.int concerning the course pursued by Mrs. Walker. -; Arrested la Beattls.

I ordered the chauffeur to stop at a store, and he also stopped. It was the same everywhere I went He was always- behind us, ' : : DetectlTS Watches , Party. ; " f "In addition he secured quarters at a boarding house whet my Son fend the chauffeur were staying, and spied upon them. I am not in good health and I was neatly prostrated. f .. .v. ', Westfall, who la an attorney, drew from Mrs. Walker the admission that he had never spoken to nor until today and had never approached her, He ad mitted that he had followed the party and also declared he knew they bad purchased . tickets for .both pocatello, Idaho, and Salt Lake City and named the compartments which they had re served. $ He contended, however, that he had not committed any crime in "shadowing" them and declared that vi Inn Ms witnesses arrive! from Te at tie ha would show thit he was the ahufifi'1 person. - . . Clarence Walker also took the stand find told of feeing Westfall at various places, including the hoarding house in Seattle.' where he " stayed.

The court refused to grant Westfall's request that Mrs. Walker and Clarence Walker. be placed under 'bonds to ap pear here at a later- date for the hear ing and they 'were permitted to continue their trip after they had testified. "Westfall will contend In 'defense 'that his agency Is ' licensed to do business In both Oregon and Washington and that he was n6J; exceeding the privileges conferred upon him as an employe when he ''shadowed" the Walkers, He Inti mated that j other- detectives "would be on the same train which took the Wal krs out of the Hty and that thejr would not ' escape espionage. e He . also ; de clared that they - had bought a -ticket for Pocatello.
