\STLAKE MURDER UPTO GRAND JURY earing Expected to Result‘ in Separate Indictments ’ ! Against Accused Couple. gecial Dispateh to The Star. MONTROSS, Va., October 22.—Sep- rate indictments for first degree . nurder are expected to be returned | .zainst Miss Sarah E. Knox, the Bal- | imore nurse, and Roger D. Eastlake, | vy petty officer, by the grand jury | «hich convenes for its October ses- | ion in the little Westmoreland coun- ¢ v courthouse here Monday morning. ‘irst_ degree murder is the churgci h the couple have been the finding of the horribly Margaret body of Mrs. tlake, the navy officer's wife, in ! e Eastlake: cottage at Colonfal ch on September 30. With virtually no other business be~ rore the grand jury, and it being cus-} omary for the circuit court to con- | cene immediately after the grand b adjourns, i s indicated today | ! iriith will be in- it Court Judge Jn.] n Chinn to_ summons at ake o ¥ will begin the following day.

They will be kept ) 4 the Westmoreland county jail here, | uich is within a stone’s throw of | i he courthouse where they wil be i ricd. There has been some talk of having he prisoners kept in the Fredericks- wirg jall tomorrow night, and ,rought to Montross early Monday horning, on account of the apparent iment against them at Colonial: ch. Westmoreland county authori- however, contend that there is| bittle, it any, bitter feeling against; Lhe couple in any other part of thei cunty, and indlcate that they will| ppose any move to have them placed in the Fredericksburg fail. Difficult to Choose Trial Jury. Some difficulty In selecting a jury of ‘estmoreland county residents to it . judgment as to the guilt or inno- cnce of Miss Knox and Eastlake is d by several officials here. ef that the majority of ens have formed an opinion to the case. In such an event, © was said, it may be necessary for | ounsel for the accused couple to re- juest a chanze of venue. Defending Eastlake will be Attor- frey William W. Butzner of Freder- ~ksburg and Thomas Hunter of King ge Court House, both of whom ave represented their respective icalities in the Virginia state legis- lature, and who are regarded as the st criminal lawyers in this section of the state. It is understood that \liss Knox has engaged Harry M. Smith, jr. noted Richmond attorney, s her counsel. Whether Miss Knox and Eastlake will be tried jointly or separately has ot been made knowh. It is believed . however, that each of the pris- s will ask for a separate trial. t T. Mayo, commonwealth’s at- of Westmoreland county, will I“ad in the prosecution. Assisting him will be Charles W, AMoss, Richmond at- torney, and a native of Westmoreland. The trial of the accused couple, it is helieved, will be brief. The defense lL.as no matetial witnesses, and but a ‘ew character witnesses. The prosecu- tion’s witnesses consist principally of natives of Colonial Beach, who were neighbors of the Eastlakes. Children Main Witnexses. Roger Eastlake, jr. nine-ygar-old on of the accused man, and Catherine, | his five-year-old daughter, undoubted. I¥ will be the two most important wit. nesses at the trial. What these two children know about the brutal murder | of their mother has not yei been re- vealed, although both of them gave the coroner's jury at Colonial Beach sufficient intimations that they know more about the crime than they have old. _ Little Catherine told the coromer's jury that she saw a man on the front porch of her home the morning the crime was committed wearing a black raincoat. This man, she Is alleged to have said, resembled her father. The boy testified, without knowl- cdge of "the tragic porient of his words. that he was awakened from his early morning slumbers by Miss 10X on the morning his mother was hacked to death. With these two chil- dren the prosecution hopes to more ccnvincingly lay the crime at the door of Eastlake and Miss Knox. The children. who have been in the (ustody of their uncle. the Rev. Thomas P. Yardley of Catonsville, Md. will be brought to Montross to- 10TTOW to appear before the grand Their uncle is under §300 bond eturn them here for the grand y session and the trial. Record Crowd Anticipated. Montross and Colonial Beach, twenty | 1iiles away, made preparations to.a. for accommodating a record-brezking’ «rowd during the trial of Eastlake Miss Knox. Hotel proprietors here at Colonial Beach have already ived communications from per- sons all over the state of Virginia d from Baltimore, Philadelphia and hington, requesting that rooms be reserved for them for the period of the trial. As there is only one small hotel at 'ntross. the majority of the curious rsons who are anxious to witness 1 proceedings will be compelled to =ck quarters at Colonial Beach. —_—— MEXICO IMPOSES HEAD TAX. -\ head tax of $8 on all Americans «ntering Mexico through the port of Nogales has been imposed by the Mexican Immigration office at that port, according to advices to the State [1repartment. Officials were puzzled s to the scope of the order, and said they did not know whether it had icen sanctioned by the Mexican gov- lernment. A .
