e TWO ADMIT CHARGE OF PETEET GIRLS Another on Trial in Mexico Denies Story Told Before Their Suicide. By the Associated Fresn: TIA JUANA, Lower California, July 28.—Defense counsel and government prosecutors today will attempt to speed up the trial of former Police Chief Zenaido Llanos and three other men charged with responsibility for alleged attacks on Clyde and Audrey Peteet here last February which sup- posedly inspired a suicide pact car- ried out by the two girls and their parents in their San .Diego home a few days afterward. Nearly a dozen witnesses remain to be called, and court officers believe the trial will continue until Thursday. Two of the defendants, Luis Ama- dor and Refugio Alvarez, yesterday admitted certain of the charges made against them, while Llanos denied statements made by the older Peteet girl. Francisco Gonzales, fourth de- fendant, a former Tia Juana police- man, is charged with being an ac- complice. Efforts of ‘defense attorneys yester- day centered on attempts to bring out that Thomas M. Peteet, his wife and daughters, during the four days’ visit bere prior to the night on which the attacks were alleged to have been made, had not conducted them- selves in a manner to lend support to statements made by them' that the two girls had been drugged and at. tacked. A vote of seven of the nine jurors, court attaches, would constitute a verdict. A maximum penalty of from 6 to 8 years would be possible upon conviction. Chile is sending airplanes to Tacna.

Fainter, in Hyattsville. Miss Clawans and Mrs. Warnke are at liberty on bail. Mrs, Rosenfleld was attacked and bound and gagged to a bedpost as she was reaching for the light in her bedroom preparatory to retiring. At- tempts were made to force a brown liquid believed to have been a drug down her throat. Some money was taken. It is the opinion of Constable Garrison that the principal object of the attack was to obtain from Mrs, Rosenfleld a letter demanding $500 addressed to her husband, George F. Rosenfleld, aviation promoter of ‘Washington, which had been received by Mrs. Rosenfield. Mrs. Rosé&nfleld states that the assailants asked for the letter, but that she vid not give it up. After the attack, however, Mre. Rosenfield turned the letter over to her husband. Constable Garrison states that he expects to make one more arrest in the case, that of a man. GIRL SAVES BOY, 16.
