Clara Phillips escaped "hammer murderers" was returned to American soil here early this afternoon. She was closely guarded by detectives, as the boat from o'Hunduras, where she was caught, docked at a pier holding a great crowd of curious people. As the ship slid up to the dock an attractive woman fressed in brown made a vain attempt to hide behind a ventilator from the hundreds of curious eyes. "There she is. That's Clara!" could be heard from all parts of the crowd. The "hammer murderers," her head bowed, made still other efforts to hide. What's the use?" cried Miss Etta Mae Jackson to her sister, who was also on board the vessel. "You can't get away from them," stand up and let them see you." Almost the entire party, consisting of Mrs. Hillips, her sister, Undersheriff Biscalluz and his wife, walked near the rail and allowed dozens of photographers and movie cameramen to take pictures. The "hammer murderers" sobbed "please, don't; oh, please, don't, isn't it bad enough now?" But at persistent requests, she then went on the top deck and pounded until all photographer were satisfied. A long line of blue coats met the boat to prevent any attempt to rescue her. When Clara left the boat the crowd closed in on them and a panic almost ensued as each tried to get a close view of the woman slayer. She was rushed to the Parish Jail, where she will be detained until Wednesday at 12:15 noon, when the party will board a fast train for Los Angeles. ON BOARD S. S.

A high Honduran offered me my complete freedom and safety from American officials if I would consent to become the mistress of his palatial mansion. This offer burned me deeply. "Even after I boarded the Copan, the Honduran sent a special envoy of guards out to see me and ask if I would not reconsider my decision before it was entirely too late. But I would rather be in a prison cell of America with my honor than in Honduras with my freedom and the ACCIDENT VICTIMS Double funeral services for Miss Buelah Blakemore and Miss Mae Ford, victims of an auto accident Sunday at Armada in Perris Valley, will be held at McAulay's parlor Fullerton, Thursday at 10 o'clock.
