DEMOS BLOCK NAMING OF STRAWN START DRIVE FOR $16,000 Director of Banks Whe Standard Oil is Heavy Depositor WASHINGTON Feb. 12— Jury Returns Verdict He Was Under Influence of Intoxicants Was D. J. Brooks, Los Angeles motorsists, on his way to Tia Juana with a $20,000 bank roll, when his car crashed into a small coupe near El Toro, causing the death of Mrs. Stena Duncan, 50, of Montebello? And if so, what has become of the money? These were questions that absorbed attention today as Brooks, held in the county jail, faced protection on two felony charges, one of manslaughter and the other of driving an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. There were two answers proposed to the questions; inasmuch as no large sum was found upon Brooks after the wreck. Either the money was scattered somewhere in the scene of the smash-up, or Brooks' reported claim or having started from Los Angeles with such a sum of money was without foundation. The authorities were inclined, obviously, to accept the latter explanation. He had a little over $100 when taken to the hospital. That Brooks was under influence of liquor and was driving his car in a reckless manner when it crashed into a light coupe occupied by four Montebello women near El Toro last Saturday evening, was the essence of the jury verdict returned following the inquiry late yesterday over Mrs. Duncan's body. Brooks, who was being detained the county hospital, pending the request findings, was promptly placed under formal arrest under a warrant charging him with driving an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. He was brought to the county jail last night and today arraigned on the manslaughter charge. "I'm no bum," Brooks was said to have told a bystander. "I started out on this trip with $20,000." A companion of Brooks was said to have revealed their destination as Tia Juanna. SIMMONS SELL'S INTEREST IN KLAN ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 12.—Col William J.

The district attorney's office has issued 34 complaints in the case and not a business man has named." Mayor Ovington was quoted as saying, "It is unfair to the business men of the city to mix them up in an affair of this kind, with apparently not a shred of substitution. If there are business men involved, let them be accused and have a chance to stand trial. I am going to demand that all facts and names in the possession of the district attorney be made public." A total of 19 arrests have been made now in the roundup of persons named in complaints with the scandal involving minor girls. Other arrests, it is claimed, will be made.
