Famed Gardens, Victims of Taxes, Are Torn Down Famed Santa Ana Botanie Gardens and the huge white mansion on the blight overbuilding Santa Ana canyon, where the late Mrs. Susanna Bixby Bryant made her home, have come to the end of the trail, victims of high taxes. Demolition crews began work last week. Within a short time the site where Mrs. Bryant reared the 50-room adobe structure with its red tile roof and mission tower, then produced her famous garden of native California plants and shrubs, will be as bare as the day her pioneer father, Jotham Bixby, acquired it in 1875. The plants are being transferred to Indian Hill near Claremont College. The Bixby property, some 200 acres at 23831 Esperanza rd., was once part of the grant made in 1834 to Bernardo Yorba by Jose Figueros, governor of California for the Republica of Mexico.

Uncle of Murdered Girl Booked; Says Her Death Caused by Accident RIVERSIDE, Calif. (P)—The uncle of a pretty 15-year-old Redlands girl is in jail today, booked for investigation of murder, but insists her death resulted from an accident while they were fixing a flat tire. The battered and ravished body of the girl, Kathryn Knodel, was found on a highway near Palm Springs, Calif., last Wednesday after she had disappeared from her nearby Redlands' home Tuesday evening. The uncle, 37-year-old John Shauncev Lawrence, surrendered to San Francisco authorities Saturday after he learned he was wanted for questioning in the case. Yesterday he was brought by chartered plane to Southern California and taken to isolated Cherry valley in Riverside county. There, with shaking hand and tears in his eyes, he pointed to a spot along the road and mumbled to Sheriff Carl Rayburn: "That's where it happened. That's where she died." He was then taken to the Redlands' city jail and later to the Riverside county jail where he was questioned until 1 a.m. Sheriff Rayburn and other investigators said Lawrence continued to maintain the death was an accident although admitting he had sexual relations with his niece before she died. Sheriff Eugene L. Mueller of adjoining San Bernardino county, said Lawrence told him he hit the girl on the head with a rock after she was dead to make it appear that she had been struck by a car. Sheriff Mueller said Lawrence told him he had taken his niece for a ride after picking her up at her Redlands' home and that she was helping him fix the flat in Cherry valley. The sheriff quoted Lawrence as saying the jack slipped and the car fell on the girl, crushing her head.
