The deed was signed ,before Otto Hochuli of Houston, notary public, and was filed for record in San Augustine, No- vember 22, The deed transfers from Hiram Knox to Mrs. Lillian Knox all of his property in Texas. It also conveys to ther all personnal property of what- ever nature and mixed property in Texas and elsewhere. ) The deed explains, the story as- serts, that one-half of this property |already had been conveyed to Mrs. Knox and stipulates that the present document intends to convey the re- n:ainder of .it. No figures as to the value of the property transferred .were given, but it was estimated that the deed con- veyed property worth upwards of $3,- 000, The deed is a voluminous docu- ment and lists in detall the great properties scattered over Texas that ; | was agreed upon this morning for Mrs. are transferred to Mrs, Knox. The |2t the meeting. only consideration mentioned was “love and affection.” State’s attorneys intimated that they would question the validity of the deed. It has been stated during the hearing the handwriting of Mr. and Mrs. Knox is so much alike that | only those very famillar with both are able to tell them apart. The state was expected to make use of this in- | formation in attempting to show that letters found on the body of the slain man were forgeries. Ask Habeas Corpus. Attorneys for Mrs. Knox were ready today to go before the district court here with a demand through habeas corpus proceedings for the uncondi- tional release of their client. They declared that discovery of the deed removed all motive for the alleged crime. The hearing of Mrs. Knox shifted from the Hemphill justice’s court to the district court here yesterday after the widow's attorneys had refused to make the $25,000. bond set for their client by the justice of the peace habeas corpus proceedings were brought in the district court. The de- fense claimed a telling victory when Judge A. V. Stark after perusing a transcript of the evidence taken in the examination trial, allowed Mrs. Knox an appearance bond of $2,5600.
