L I CUT TRIAL Many Now. Found, And Many More Not; All Knowledge Denied B y Some of the Witnesses. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21. Jewels to the value of many thousands of dollars, some of whicn already have been seized, but the majority of which are missing, today became the focal point in the inquiry into the violent death of Mrs. Theresa W.' Mora, here August 12, in connection with which Kid McCoy, ex-pugilist, is held on a murder charge. Four different lota of Jewels form the basis of the invcBtigutian, which officers working on the case declare, may establish the real motive forjhe death of Mrs. Mora, who was found in her -apartment with a bullet in her brain. ' si The largest lot is missing. Customs officers, acting on adviceB from New York, aro seeking a dozen valuable pieces, bno of them described as con taining thrco exceptionally large emcraldB and studded with diamonds. The value of this, with its sparkling companions in the mystery, hi raid to run into many thousandirbf .dol lars. - ;& The officers "declare thati,; in structions aro that theae jewel wore in the Mora family and they wish to establish the routo by which they reached that resting place. Mrs. Mors is dead and Albert A. Mors, her divorced husband, heir to her estate, flatly dcnlca nny know ledge of the supposedly lost valuable!. The search for the jewels began last June, almost two months before Mrs. Mors waa slain, and in July customs officers seized Bcveral thou sand dollara worth from the Mora strong box. Lot number three was seized after the death of Mra. MorB when the of ficers visited another strong box rented by the Mora family. The value of this total, with that previously taken into custody, totaled $30,000, according to the investigators. Lot number four, valued at 50O0, disappeared the night Mrs. Mora was shot down in her apartment. Mors charged that these had been stolen from her body a black pearl ring, a rnby and diamond broooh shaped like a quail and a fob watch encrusted with diamonds. Yesterday lot number four was re covered. Attorneys for Mrs. Jennie Thomaa, aister ot Kid McCoy, turnfd them over to the district attorney's office. Detectivea said this lot was given to Mrs. Thomas by McCoy the night Mrs. Mors died. Both the distrlct'attorney'a office and the federal officera assert the be lief that the clearing up of the jcwul mystery will throw much light on the case and may establish tho motive be hind the, sadden death of the antique dealer's 'i'ife. ' LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21. Attor neys for Norman Selby ' ("Kid" Mc Coy), former pueilist, rharged with. the murder of Mrs. Theresa W. Mora here, August 32, today were organiz ing their forces for an attack on the iron ring of evidence which District Attorney Asa Keys believes ho has welded around the 50-year-old fighter. While they would not divulge their plana they took occasion yesterday to deny catagoric.-.lly that thee plana provide for a plea of guilty by Mc Coy, when he appears before Judge Charles 8. Crail next Monday. Tho former motion picture actor and boxer was arraigned yesterday on the mur der charge as well as on three charg ea of assault with intent to kill and four charges of robbery, growing out of a shooting affray staged in and near Mrs. Mora antique shop several hours after her death. Before his attorneys could ak for a postponement of the plea until Mon day, McCoy shonted out in answer to the murder charge: I did hot!" To the other charges he waa indifferent. Meanwhile arrangements were msde for his examination by additional de fense alienists. JEWELS OCA PlllfJ Nl WAY TO Failure to Hide Body In Franks Case Was Turning Point, Declares Attorney CHICAGO, Aug. 21. P Failure to hide sufficiently the body ot Robert Franks was the breaking point in the plot of Nnthnu Leopold Jr., and Richard Loeb, according to this state's analysis ot the crime given today before Judge John R. Cavorly by Joseph Savage, as sistant state'B attorney. In Impassioned denunciations ot the defendants and with waving arms and pounding fists, Mr. Sav age, told the court that If Leopold had forced the body well Into the culvert.

He urged adequate American armament and international co-operation for limitation of com petitive arming. ' He declared that ltussia and Ger many would not remain content to he excluded from tho Far East and that "our unhappy manner of doing tho thing we had a right to do, mny have lost us the warm friendship of Ja pan." "What would a German-Russian-ChineHc-Japanese combination do to tho plans of the world?" he asked. "What could withstand a union of white, yellow and brown, gnthered from the Rhine to the China Sea, and what is there .impossible or even un likely In surh an alliance? "With all the Lntln-Amcrlenn states in the league of nntions, can we main tain the Monroe doctrine, with these countries south of us carrying their disputes before that political orga nization for settlement. "These are some of tho things that should be considered by those who are moved by the pica for disarma ment." "American armaments have never been a real factor in either the causa tion or prevention of war, except when they have been Inadequate they have encouraged stronger powers to presume upon our supposed weak ness. "But when It comes to the world, exclusive of the, American continent, i must bendmitted thnt a competitive growth of armaments breeds a feeling of international insecurity." General Ifarhord endorsed the plan for reduction of armaments drawn up by Professor JrT. Sliotwell of Colum bia and General Tasker Bliss, whch has been distributed to various gov ernments by the league of nntions. "It creates no super-state and sur senders no sovereignity, " he said. General Harhord criticized those church leaders who urge Christians not to take part in any war, saying tint this doctrine seeking to align the church against national defense by war logically leads to the formation of a clerical party. He added: 'If tho extreme religious pndfists were really desirous of destroying our Independence they could hardly advo cate a more effective plan." STORMS IN MINNESOTA ST.
