BLOW TO DEFENSE IN MURDER TRIAL COURT HOUSE, WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Sept. 20.—The state today, by undisputed evidence, proved that Clarence M. Peters, the Haverhill, Mass., sailor, slain by Walter S. Ward, on the night of May 15, 1922, was not in New York City or Westchester-co more than nine hours before he met death. The claim of Ward, made at the time of the shooting when he said that Peters and two men of mystery — Jack Rogers and Charles Ross — had the night before attempted to blackmail him for $75,000 was shattered. Thru two railroad employees the state proved that a railroad ticket from Paris Island, S. C., to Philadelphia, had been sold to Peters shortly after noon May 14, 1922, and that the ticket was surrendered by Peters at the West Philadelphia station of the Baltimore and Ohio the next afternoon. An effort was made to impeach the testimony of at least two state witnesses — former state policemen Harry Green and Ralph Collins — who testified against Walter S. Ward. The state's attorneys' office agreed to have the witnesses returned here at the earliest possible hour. Raymond Hill, deputy sheriff and finger print expert, revealed that Peters had a criminal record in Boston, producing fingerprints taken there when Peters was convicted of the theft of an automobile. The defense believed it had scored a point in branding Peters as a man who had a "criminal record". LIST 37 IN A. H. S. SCHOLARSHIP SOC. Thirty-seven names appear on A. H. S.

BELIEVED VICTIMS OF BOOTLEG WAR SEATTLE, Sept. 20.—Believed to be victims of a bootlegging war, two unidentified men were found dead today in a motor boat at Lakota Beach, on Puget Sound, near the southern boundary of King-co. It was believed at the sheriff's office that the dead men either were victims of "hi-jackers" or else had been shot while attempting some "hi-jacking" themselves. CLAIMS THIS BEST COUNTY IN UNION This is the greatest county in the Union, was the emphatic statement made last night before the Fullerton C. of C. by Guy Gilbert of Santa Ana, who spoke on "Co-operation." This, the first membership meeting of the season, was largely attended, a banquet being served in the Fullerton clubrooms at 6:30 o'clock. Other speakers included W. J. Carmichael, W. T. Brown, C. B. Hutchinson, Mrs. J. C. Gilbert, S. C. Hartranft, Dan Coon, L. P. Drake, Dan O'Hanlon, Maj. E. J. Marks and Mayor W. P. Coulter. The principal discussion of the evening, aside from Mr. Gilbert's address, was the proposed new city hall for Fullerton which it is estimated, will cost around $240,000. Trustees and the C. of C., formerly at sword's points over cost of building, have now amicably settled their differences, and the speakers without exception expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the proposition, and expect to boost and vote for the bond issue to be raised for this purpose. There was a musical program featured by a xylophone solo played by Ted Corcoran, accompanied by his sister, Miss Alice Corcoran, pianist. Waldo O'Kelly, president of the C. of C., was chairman for the evening. 35 CANDIDATES FOR H. S. GRID HONORS Coach A. E. Fitzmorris is displaying considerable enthusiasm over LA HABRA.
