GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 20 The defense in the trial of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler on a charge of misuse of office today 4 CHARGED WITH MURDER OF CAMP HANFORD, Cal., April 20—With four persons in custody today under a blanket murder indictment returned in the "windmill death" of Lee Camp, young rancher, the prosecutor prepared for presentation of its case. Confession from one of the four is expected and may involve a fifth person, it is said. Mrs. Jennie Laura Brown, 55, foster mother of Camp, and heir to his $200,000 estate, was removed last night from the "Ranch of Regrets" to the County Hospital jail ward. She wept, but maintained a stubborn silence. Her physician, Dr. C. T. Rosson, declared a sudden shock might cause her death, as she is suffering from acute heart trouble. Left now on the ranch is W. Stanton Brown, the woman's husband, helplessly paralyzed and half blind. He, alone of the oceans of the ranch house, has escaped the murder charge. With him today were Mrs. John H. Tipton, divorced wife of "Uncle Johnny" Tipton, under arrest in San Francisco in connection with the case, and her son. They planned to assist "Uncle Johany" in his defense.

Burton K. Wheeler on a charge of misuse of office today won an important victory when Judge Frank S. Dietrich ruled out all evidence relating to one count of the indictment. Judge Dietrich refused to permit the prosecution to introduce matter pertaining to the Lincoln oil permit obtained by Gordon Campbell, Montana oil operator, from the interior department. The evidence was excluded on the grounds that at the time Sen. Wheeler was retained as counsel for Campbell, no matters concerning the Lincoln permit were pending before the interior department. "It is not now relevant under law," Judge Dietrich said. "Some additional evidence may be produced later which would allow the prosecution to go into this matter." The decision struck a vital blow at the prosecution. An effort will be made to have the case thrown out of court for lack of evidence. Sen. T. J. Walsh, chief defense counsel announced today. The prosecution expects to conclude its case before night and only 12 witnesses will be put on the stand by the defense. Sen. Walsh said. He intends to move that dismissal be granted without producing any of his own evidence. AT THE HOTE VALENCIA Mrs. A. Phillips, R. Weise, and wife, Los Angeles; Mrs. R. O.
