Burch c Madalynne C One of the two questions facing authorities seeking to solve the mystery of the New York murder on October 6 or 7 last of a girl known as Leona or Grace Mayfield of Los Angeles was wiped from the slate late yesterday afternoon. "Who was she?" "Where is James?" James, named as an accomplice in the "confession" of George Christman, former Anaheim automobile mechanic, when the latter strangled to death the mystery girl in front of a West Fourteenth street rooming house in New York City, slipped into oblivion, as the result of a new confession. In the latest revision of the circumstances made by Christman, who was lodged in the Los Angeles county jail for the theft of an automobile under the name of George St. Jean, Christman absolutely repudiated, according to deputy sheriffs, the accomplice in the crime. Alone In Crime Christman acknowledged, they said, that he and he alone strangled the girl and disposed of her body. This confession, which was signed by Christman early last night, was taken in writing by Deputy Sheriffs Harry Wright and Steve Strong. They were assigned to the investigation of the case following revelations of yesterday morning, because they had previously arrested Christman on a grand larceny warrant. That James actually exists and admitted by Christman in the new confession, the deputies said. But he had no part in the murder, they claim. On the theory that Christman was describing himself in speaking of James, the two deputies wrung an admission from him, they said, that they were correct in this belief. He admitted, they said, that he himself was the counter man in a New York City dairy lunch; the man whom in his previous "confession" he had designated as James. Cut Up Body He went on to tell, they said, how, after strangling the girl, he took the body into a dingy room, cut it in two at the waist, and then methodically disposed of both parts of the body. The torso and upper half of the body was that found by the laborer, Ignazio Castelluccio in the stagnant pool at Rawson street and Jackson avenue boulevard. Christman yesterday told the deputies he could not tell them the names of the streets. The legs, the deputies said he told them, were placed in satchels and dropped into the Hudson river. These satchels, as far as New York police department records show, never were found. Judge Cox Dismisses Charge Against Stocks Because the complaining witness could not identify him as the man who passed a fictitious check, the charge against Reginald Stocks was dismissed when Stocks appeared before Justice J. B. Cox yesterday afternoon for his preliminary examination. AUTO ASSOCIATION TO HOLD MEET HERE The big "stunt" of the Orange County Automobile Trade Association will be pulled off at the Anaheim Union High School next Tuesday night. There will be a "feed" and "talkfest," according to announcements sent out today. "Business is fine" will be the keynote of the occasion which is in the nature of a get-together meeting of the automobile employers and employees of the county. According to Harry D. Riley, one of the live wires in the trade, it is expected that 200 guests will be in attendance. The banquet will be served by the members of the Ebell Club and the music will be furnished by the Fellinge orchestra, which is to be employed regularly at the new Elks club house. The Orange County association is a county-wide organization for the purpose of promoting the interest of automobile dealers and automobile owners. There are fifteen members of the organization in Anaheim. Speakers will deliver addresses at the banquet as follows: J. M. Thompson, branch manager, Willis-Overland Pacific Co. H. J. Bants, manager Weinstock Nichols & Co. M. E. Drum of San Francisco. UNLY $900.34 TAXES ARE DELINQUENT REPORT SHOWS The city tax collector reports today that only $900.34 of city taxes for 1921 have been reported as delinquent. The total amount collected by the city tax collector is $168,491.78 and by the assessor, $5,816.90. The city tax collector and his deputy are proud of this showing and thoroughly appreciate the promptness with which property owners have paid their taxes. Santa Ana Householder Says Charge Is Unjust Indignant denial is made by G. M. Hartley of 701 South Ross street, Santa Ana, of the written accusation filed with the police that the family living at that number was in the habit of burning rubbish at unlawful hours. Mr. Hartley states that while it might have been true that rubbish was burned on one occasion at an unlawful period of the day, to charge that this was done at 701 South Ross street "nearly every night" is characterized by the householder as unjust. The report which was quoted was made by a Santa Ana policeman. O.T.CAILOR NAMED HEAD OF I.O.O.F.LODGE OF THIS CITY O T. Cailor was elected high priest of the Anaheim chapter of the I. O. O.

F L. A. POLICEMEN CA BURCH MURDER CASE WILL REACH JURY NEXT WEEK LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10.—The case of first degree murder against Arthur C. Burch will be completed by the middle of the week, District Attorney Woolwine said here today. The major structure of one of the most remarkable cases of circumstantial evidence ever placed together in California courts is already-complete. The prosecution will call three or four more supplementary witnesses. Woolwine said—then rest its case. With no superior court session today, both defense and prosecution were completing plans for the final few days that will mean freedom, the insane asylum or the scaffold for the minister's son and college honor man charged with the murder of John Belton Kennedy. When Judge Sidney Reeve reconvenes court on Monday, the prosecution will launch an attempt to strengthen its last point against Burch—that of the disposition of the gun with which he is alleged to have slain young Kennedy. Already the state has introduced evidence in behalf of the following points: 1. Burch came to Los Angeles at Malalynne Obenckain's request. Put Nuts, Candy Orange, Trinkets in Stocking for Poor Boy or Girl In answer to many inquiries regarding the Christmas stockings for boys and girls who are to be made happy on Christmas, inquiries that show an interest in the plan and which indicate that there are scores who wish to comply with the request. The Herald again briefly outlines the idea. It is asked that all who feel they can afford to give a pair of stockings to some poor boy or girl this Christmas do so through the medium of this newspaper. One of the stockings should be filled, just as Santa Claus would fill it. It should be a real Christmas stocking with nuts and perhaps an orange, maybe and trinkets dear to the heart of a child. There can be some little presents too, carefully wrapped, for half the joy after all, is in opening the package. It rests with you what shall go into the stocking—the one MAN IS SENT TO JAIL FOR FAILURE TO SUPPORT BABY Harry C. Calkins is in the county jail with his bail set at $500 charge with failure to provide the necessities of life for his infant child. His preliminary examination has been sent for January 12, 1922, at 10 a.m. FIGHTS BACK IN SUIT AGAINST BRICK YARD H. Garber, proprietor of a brickyard at the corner of Olive and Hickle streets, Santa Ana, has filed an answer to the suit brought by the state by District Attorney A. P. Nelson, for a temporary restraining order prohibiting Mr. Garber from manufacturing his product. The action was brought by the people on the ground that the brickyard is a public nuisance in that duffles, gas and smoke emanate from the yard. Garber and William Sackman, from whom he leased the property, entitle a general denials of the allegation in the people's complaint. Frank C. Drumm of Orange is a not been in sessions, the proba-larceny INSANE ASYLUM or the scaffold for the minister's son and college honor man charged with the murder of John Belton Kennedy. When Judge Sidney Reeve reconvenes court on Monday, the prosecution will launch an attempt to strengthen its last point against Burch—that of the disposition of the gun with which he is alleged to have slain young Kennedy. Already the state has introduced evidence in behalf of the following points: 1. Burch came to Los Angeles at Madalynne Obenchain's request, bringing a shotgun. 2. He and Madalynne watched Kennedy from Burch's room in the Russell hotel. 3. He was hopelessly infatuated with Madalynne, while the latter had lost faith in her sweetheart, Kennedy. 4. He was at Beverly Glen two days before the murder, asking where Kennedy's cottage was located. 5. He was at the scene of the killing just before and just after it occurred. 6. Madalynne spoke to him after the shooting; later dropped a note warning him to be careful. NEW TRIAL DENIED MAN IN DAMAGE SUIT AT SANTA ANA Superior Judge R. Y. Williams today denied the motion for a new trial made by Attorney W. I. Gilbert for the defendant in the case of Blanche E. Newton against A. N. Cox. Insufficient evidence was given as the grounds for the motion for the new trial, also that the verdict was against the law, irregularities in the trial were unfair, the damages excessive and that witnesses changed their stories. A twenty-day stay of execution was granted when the motion was denied. Damages in the case were fixed by a jury on November 3 in which Mrs. Newton was awarded $8000 and Mr. Newton was given $3112.60. Mrs. Newton had asked $15,000 and her husband $9112.60. The damages are the result of a collision of the Newton and Cox cars at the intersection of Grand avenues and Seventeenth street, Santa Ana. ANAHEIM MAN LOSES COAT IN LOS ANGELES This is not just the time of the year that a man likes to part with a $90 overcoat without some sort of consideration. And yet that is what Otto Lowenstein of the Sanitary Delicatessen did on his visit to Los Angeles yesterday. Mr. Lowenstein parked his car at or girl this Christmas do so through the medium of this newspaper. One of the stockings should be filled, just as Santa Claus would fill it. It should be a real Christmas stocking with nuts and perhaps an orange, maybe and trinkets dear to the heart of a child. There can be some little presents too, carefully wrapped, for half the joy after all, is in opening the package. It rests with you what shall go into the stocking—the one which it will be a joy for you to fill. You perhaps have children. If so, then you know what to put in. It should be filled with the things which your children would like to have. This newspaper will see that the stockings are distributed on Christmas where they will do the greatest good, to children who really need the stockings and who will glory and delight in the presents which are stuffed into one of the stockings. You, no doubt, will welcome this opportunity to make some poor boy or girl happy on Christmas. It isn't much of a request to make of you. You will, without doubt, have as great a joy in filling this stocking for some unknown child as in any gift you make this Christmas. If you know a poor boy or girl who should have a pair of the stockings, send his or her name to The Herald, or tell the youngster to call Santa Claus at 650.

ANAHEIM MAN LOSES COAT IN LOS ANGELES This is not just the time of the year that a man likes to part with a $90 overcoat without some sort of consideration.

When he returned to the car five minutes later, the coat was gone. He offers a reward of $25 for the return of the coat. POLICE DOUBT STORY OF SLAYING OF BANDIT LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 10. After a futile all night search, officials of the state penitentiary, here today were inclined to doubt the story of J. C. Howard, convict, that he had killed Tom Slaughter, notorious bandit, who captured the jail and escaped with a half dozen prisoners early yesterday. Possess hunted the woods where Howard claimed he killed the desperado late yesterday. No trace of Slaughter's body nor that of the negro convict, how Howard said fell beside Slaughter, was found. Prison officials feared that Howard's taleb is only another Slaughter trick. Howard, with Jim Wells and Clifton Taylor, negro members of Slaughter's party, surrendered last night at the home of Steve Ferguson, a farmer, near Benton. The two negroes corroborated Howard's story—that he shot Slaughter in the back and then fired two more shots into his body. Cigarets Barred For Chicago College Girls CHICAGO, Dec. 10.

LUMBER PRICES JUMP HERE; WILL GO STILL HIGHER There is a strong demand for lumber and building material in Anaheim and the tendency of prices is upward, according to Henry M. Adams of the Adams-Bower LumberCompany who is a close student of the lumber market. Two advances have been announced this week on certain classes of lumber and other increases are expected to follow. The rise in price is caused, Mr. Adams says, by the demand, especially for clear material from foreign countries, especially Japan, which have been receiving large shipments recently. Theory That Gun Found Here Was Used In Shooting Tuesday Night. With the net of evidence linking them with the shooting of two Los Angeles policemen Tuesday night gradually tightening, detectives are working on the case of H. Harrison and Scott Douglas, taken Thursday afternoon on the boulevard near El Toro by County Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr. The gun found on Harrison was said to be the same kind as that used by Officer Brett, one of the murdered policemen. It is a T. and L. of 38 caliber. The shells used by Harrison were 32-20 models and could be used in this model gun. The fact that the manufacturer's number had been filed off, obviously within a day or so of the time of the capture of the young men, is also considered an important feature of the case. Two notches on the under side of the gun are thought possibly to have a bearing on the case. Threatened Officer Harrison, the man with the gun, was searched first when the two were stopped by Carr. He was later heard to remark that it was a good thing for the officer that he was searched first. From this it was inferred that Harrison would have had no compunction against using the gun on the Orange County officer if the opportunity had occurred. Four detectives from the Los Angeles police department visited the two men last night and grilled them thoroughly, reviewing their actions for the two days previous. The prisoners were unable to give a good account of themselves and the detectives are looking up their records in an effort to determine whether they might have been involved in previous difficulties. Cartridges Investigated As a means of securing a further clue to the situation, an effort was being made to learn the type of cartridge used by Brett in his gun. If it is found that the 32-20 variety in the possession of Harrison was used it is expected a strong point will be made. The use of 32-20 shells in this model is not common. The shells are of a higher power than is usually used in revolvers and were originally intended for a rifle. Only a few loose shells were found in the possession of Harrison. Neither man is able to give a clear account of why they happened to have the gun' in their possession. They claim to have acquired it from a friend to whom they loaned money when it was given as security. One Was Movie Actor Harrison and Douglas claimed that they were on their way to San Diego where they were to be given jobs. Douglas stated that he had been a newsboy for a Los Angeles newspaper until a few days ago when he quit his job and started for San Diego. There is a strong demand for lumber and building material in Anaheim and the tendency of prices upward, according to Henry M. Adams of the Adams-Bower Lumber Company who is a close student of the lumber market. Two advances have been announced this week on certain classes of lumber and other increases are expected to follow. The rise in price is caused, Mr. Adams says, by the demand, especially for clear material from foreign countries, especially Japan, which have been receiving large shipments recently. There has also been a revival of building activities in San Francisco and the northern part of the state, which has been lagging far behind Southern California in building operations. The Adams-Bowers company received yesterday seven car loads of Oregon Pine which indicates that they are taking advantage of a rising market. ANAHEIM KIWANIANS TO GO TO FULLERTON The members of the Anaheim Kiwanis Club will go to Fullerton next Tuesday for a joint meeting with the Fullerton club.

Anaheim Kiwanians are asked to meet at the local postoffice at 11:45 o'clock Tuesday morning and make the trip in a caravan. Transportation has been provided for those who are unable to bring their own automobiles. Many Pay Last Respects at Funeral of Pioneer A large number of friends and acquaintances congregated at the Backs & Terry undertaking chapel at 2 o'clock this afternoon to pay their last respects to J. W. Duckworth, prominent pioneer citizen, who died Thursday afternoon. Mr. Duckworth had lived in the community, twenty-seven years, during which time he was active in civic affairs and always took a prominent part in movements for public betterment. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church of which Mr. Duckworth was a member.
