ROBBERY MOTIVE OF MRS, EVANY' SLAYER| This Is Mexico's Version--Yic- | tim's Sister (o Pres Issue By The Asseciated Pie Mexico City, Aug, ,~The belief of the Moalean government that rebbery | was the principal motive for the kill- | ing of Mrs, Itosalle Evans, Sag British | subject who was shol to death from | ambush near Texmelucan Saturday night, was relterated In an official foreign office bulletin lssued late last evening. Ofticials had previvusly expressed their disbelier that the crime was the result of the agrarian agitation which aimed at forcing Mrs, Evans to con- sent to the division of her hacienda, | the legal proceedings in which had | become an Incident between the Mex. lean and British governments, though this possibility is conceded, ‘The foreign office hulletin echoes the expressions of President Ohregon In calling attention to the energy with which the federal and state authori- ties are pushing the inquiry and try- ing to run down the assassins, and continues:— | “The circumstances surrounding the erime give rise to the opinlon that the principal motive was robbery, Nevortheless the fact that the name of Mrs, Lvans had been connected | with recent International incldents | causes the supposition that the pres- ent case might also be connected with the discussion of the agrarian ques- tion regarding the property of the vic- tm. General Saenz, minister of forelgn | relations, added he had been informed that Mrs, Evans had made all plans for her funeral more than a week pre- | vious to her death San Francisco, Aug. 5. —Mrs, W, J. | Pettus ,wife of the chiet surgeon of | the San I'raneisco marine hospitals, | plans to leave soon for the ranch in the Puebla’ valley of Mexico, where her sister, Mrs. Rosalie Evans, was | shot and killed last Saturday.

OFFICER FLYNN'S-POODLE ~TURNS UP IN JAIL Police Department Having a Little Fun at the Expense of a Com- rade and His Dog Members of the New Britain police dspartment occasionally practice harmless jokes at the expense of their tellows, and as a result now have the laugh on Sergeant Michael J. Fiynn, who recently returned from a vaca- tion trip in New York. ‘While in the metropolis the sergeant purchased a “poodle” deg. He brought the animal to New Britain yesterday morning, but a short time after he was home missed him and the canine was given up as lost. This morning Sergeant Flynn re- ported to headquarters and much to his surprise found the newly pur- chased dod “lockd up” In one of the cells, Amazed as well as astonished he could not understand how the dog found his way to headquarters but fellow officers kindly offered an ex- planation. Th:y informed him that the dog realized that he had been purchased and was owned by a y.lice- man so he flured that the only way to again join his master would be to walk to the police station. ‘ As it actually happened the “poodle” fol- lowed someone to headquarters, where he was put into a cell and the police- men found it hard work to keep him confined. Thie dog is so small that he concinually escaped from between the bars. Hewever, the worries of the policeiner in seeking and chasing nim are ncw over for he has been returned to h.s master SUIT FOR $850.

RUSSIAN-BRITISH AGREENENT FALS Latest Report Is Negotiations Are Broken Off London, Aug. 5. — The Russian- British negotiations, yesterday report- ed near settlement on the war debt, last night were reported as having definitely collapsed and Russia will not sign the treaty. The Anglo-Russian treaty negotia- tions collapsed, according to authori- tative Information, on the refusal of the soviet representatives te accept an article in the agreement which they insisted letf the way open for Eng- land eventually to demand compensa- tion for foreign property nationalized by the soviet government. In other words, the explanation runs, it was a flat clash between communism and capitalism, although there had been many evasive discussions of other fea- tures of article XIV which the Rus- sians found objectionable. Go Right to Bed Both the Russians and the English who took part in the 18% hour en- durance test which came to a conclu- sion at 7:15 o’clock this morning were so exhausted that they Immediately went to bed, and even the British foreign office lacks full details of the final hours of the clash between the advocates of the two widely different | economic systems, The breakdown came as something | Russians and | their supporters had been optimistic | of a surprise, as the in their statements and a belief had been created that a treaty between Russia and England would be signed shortly. There has been much speculation in diplomatic circles as to what Secretary Hughes might have said to Prime Minister MacDonald, durinc the sece retary’s recent visit here, with regard to Russian recognition. Likewise the Gdrman deelgates here for discus- sion of the Dawes plan are eager to know whether the breakdown of the | Anglo-Russian negotiations will affect their own negotiations with the allies. The collapse of the RRussian negotia- tions here was almost as sensational as the signing of the treaty of Rapal- lo by the Russians and Germans dur- ing the Genoa conference, Met April 14 ‘The Anglo-Russian conference in London was convened on April 14 after recognition of the soviet regime by the labor government under Premier MacDonald in fulfiliment of what was virtually a campaign pledge. The purpose of the conference was to settle all the outstanding claims be- tween the two countries, some involv- ing pre-war debts on the part of Rus- | sia and others growing out " of the soviet government’s seizures, under its nationalization policy, of property be- longing to British subjects. The proceedings dragged from the | start, despite the efforta of the British to speed them up. The Russians made efforts to secure a loan, which they desired the PBritish government to guarantee. This guarantes the Brit- ish flatly refused to give, Mr. Mac- Donald declaring that the British Heavy Jersey nice. assort- Silk Slips 198 Plain or fancy flounce, white and col- in Reg. $2.98 bankers demanded recognition of Ru sia's pre-war debts as a pre-requisite to any advance. Another of the stumbling blocks was the Russians' insistance that the British recognize extensive counter- claims, based on .damages suffered in consequence of armed foreign inter- vention in Russia after the revolution. The campaigns of General Denikin, Admiral Kolchak and other anti-bol- nection, Christian Rakovsky, the chief soviet delegate, after a hurried trip to Mos- cow returned to London last week bearing a new set of proposals, which it was hoped, according to Moscow dispatches, would remove the ob- stacles to an understanding. It was thought by the Russians that these terms, described as more liberal, would satisfy the British holders of the old Russlan bonds and result eventually in a loan under British government guarantee. In framing the new proposals, how- ever, the Russian commissars, it was added, were particularly careful Lo conserve the soviet laws on nationali- zation of property, as they were against sacrificing any of their revolu- tionary principles.

SECOND ALIENST TESTIFES TODAY (Continued from First Page) while the alienist examined his notes, When Dr. Healy resumed, he told Mr. Crowe that the boys did not tell | him who originated the crime, nor did he have any notes which might help him answer, he said that he had not gone into that phase in the examina- tion. “Doctor, would you not come to the conclusion that if a moral, decent, clean living@gman had committed a crime of this sort, he certainly was insane?" asked Mr. Crowe. “I should 'not be of any opinion whatsoever, it should be gone into,” | replied the witness. “If you found that person, or per- sonsg, who had committed this crime prior to that time had been cheats at cards, firebugs, thieves and perverts, vou wouldn't be surprised, would you?" asked the prosecutor. “Yes," was the reply. “In what respect?” Crowe, ] erime,’ asked Mr, a much more remarkable said Dr. Healy, In Cowboy Suits Mr. Crowe went into the matter of the childhood pictures of Loeb in cowboy and Indian suits, introducing one Dr. Healy had described as show- ing a “tense little face.” Mr. Crowe tried to have the witness agree that the lad in the picture merelg*had been assuming a facial expressfon in keep- ing with the idea let by the suits. Questions by Mr. Crowe as to the meaning of insanity were ruled out by Judge Caverly. The progg@utor has sought diligently to have roduced a statement by defense witnesses that Loeb and Leopold are insane and thereby cause a jury trial. Dr. Healy and Mr. Crowe fenced craftily, the witness refusing to hazard opinions of generalities. Mr. Crowe went through the crime, as confessed by the youthg step by sectoin: “Was that intellect or child- ish phantasy working when they did Almost invariably Dr. Healy re- plied: “It was their intellect working." “In other words every detail of this crime is the result of intellect and not phantasy,” asked Mr. Crowe, “1 think s0,” replied the doctor. Mr. Crowe sought to bring out that certain emotions displayed by the youths when their alibis were broken down, could be described as fear. “Making those assumptions,” replied the doctor, *1 should say that was fear.” Loch is Master Criminal “Loeb is the master criminal here, fsn't he?” asked Crowe. “Yes, T think so,” replied ‘the doc- tor. “1 don't think they were using much common sense in doing the crime at Dr. Healy replied to another intellectual advisement of the decd. “Doctor, in planning the crime it- | self and steps taken to protect them- selves from detection, the only method in which that differs in this case from the average case of a criminal is that these men showed a little higher grade of intellect isn't it?” asked the prose- Waterbury on August 1.cutor.” l “Isn't there anything in their acts | here which exhibit a higher intellect?" | asked Crowe. | { “Yes, their ability to plan," was the reply. “Didn’t they show above the aver- | age fear and ~ caution a criminal | shows?" asked Mr. Crowe. But br. Healy denied having much acquaint- ance with adult criminals. Doctor Remains Calm | Dr. Healy retained his equanimity under a hot fire of cross-examination | by Mr. Crowe, smiling easily, and dis- | playing no nervousness as tfie prose- cutor sought to destroy thg value of his testimony as a matter meriting | consideration in fixing punishment. At one point Mr. Crowe and Dr. Healy got into a lengthy comparison of juvenile courts and work and crim- inal courts, Dr. Healy explaining most | of his work with boys under 19, “Then you have not had much ex- | perience with criminals springing from millionaire familiies and who are college gradnates, have you doctor?” | asked Mr. Crowe. The defense ob- | jected. Another question by Mr. ! brought an objection from Mr. Dar- row a part of it being “Because no 18 vear old hoy ever has been hanged in | MMinois.™ X At this point | lunch.
