Graham, one of the girls who
are under indictment here for
the attempted murder of Mil-

is lamenting the fact that her
press agent ever Induced her to
engage in the "kidnaping"
stunt, which for some days has
kept New York interested.
The stunt failed.
Lillian appeared today at a
theater where she had been
employed, was greeted with
complaints of "coarse work,"
and informed that after Satur-
day night her services would be
dispensed with.
The girl said she had been
held up by a "dark man with a

bile, and that she only recov-
ered her senses after she was
left at a Pougkeepsie hotel.

and the project was launched about
10 years ago. Since then the com

the land though it is suited to re
clamation, but held It entirely on
speculation. It was because of this
that the board decided to cancel the
contract.

Your Another, Evidence.
Washington, July 26. In or-
der to discredit the attacks
made by the Chicago Tribune
on Senator Lorlmer, ftymer
Judge Elbridge Hanecy, counsel
for the Ilinols senator, today in-
f troduced into the records of
the senate investigating com-
mlttae, a statement from the
late Governor Altgeld, of Illi-
nols, charging that the paper
had avoided the payment of
$25,000 annually to a school
fund for rental of the land up-
on which its building stands.
Hanecy then went on to cross-
examine James Keeley, manag-
ing editor of the Tribune as to
his paper's investigation of the
Lorimer case, and particularly
as to the manner in which it
attempted to sustain the brlb-
ery confession of State Repre-
sentative White.
"If the state of California is so
deeply interested in Louis J. Wilde
we might consider hlra Oregon's
contribution to the Panama exposi
tion, and thereby save the money
which might be appropriated by the
next legislature to help out the
show,' said Governor West this
morning, when asked for his views
on the attitude of Governor Johnson
with relation to the extradition of
Wilde, who is wanted In this state
for alleged embezzlement.
"This would at least be a saving
of money to the taxpayers of the
state, though it would give no relief
I to the thousands of small depositors
i who were robbed of their savings
' through the sale by Wilde of his bo
' gus bonds to the bank.
Cases Not Similar,
"The cases ae not parallel In any
sensa of the word," continued Gov
i ernor West when advised that Gov
' ernor Johnson, in discussing the ex
j tradition of Wilde had stated that
, he was pursuing the same course
which had been followed by Gover
nor West in a certain case refer
ring to the Kilman case.
"Kilman was wanted for a petty
crime. He was accused of stealing
la cow thd offense being alleged to
have happened 13 years ago In
! Missouri. The cow had been re
stored to the owner, and no one had
been injured. Kilman had taken up
his home in Oregon, and during his
residence here had lived an upright
.life, providing a home for his fam
ily and educating his children. His
wife was 111 in the hospital, and she
and the children needed his support,
:and the good old state of Missouri
, would not have been, bettered by his
return there, and It would have been
next to a crime to have torn him
, from his family and sent him back
to wrye a penitentiary sentence.
Wilde unloaded a million dollars of
bogus bonds on a hank In this state,
and then got out. and now that the
state of Oregon is asking him to
come back and stand trial he is
fighting extradition."
Would fiet Fair Trial.
"He need entertain no fears about
getting a fair trial if he Is brought
j back here. I do not think that the
'governor of California, or any other
! state, has any right to assume that he
will not be given a fair trial in the
state of Oregon, if brought back and
! tried for the offense with which he is
charged."

NEW LIGHT
ON MURDER
OF WOMAN
UNITED PRESS LEASED WII1E.1
Richmond, Va July 26. Evidence
pointing to the possibility that Mrs.
Henry C. Beattie, Jr., for whose al
leged murder her husband is held
here, was killed while standing in
the road, and not while seated in
their automobile with her husband,
developed here today.
Eight young men, who In an auto
mobile on the night of the tragtdy,
passed the place where the killing
occurred, said they passed an auto
mobile apparently stranded at the
exact spot where the pools of blood
were later found. A man and a
woman, they said, were standing be
side the machine which the man was
evidently trying to repair. He re
fused their aid.
All the young men fixed the time
they passed the stranded automobile
In the Midlothian pike at a few min
utes before the hour Beattie declares
the tragedy occurred.
The motive for the alleged murder
of Mrs. Beattie is seen by the police
toda in reports that Mrs. Beattie
had threatened to sue for a divorce
from her husband on grounds which
would have made the elder Beattie
disinherit his son.
