At her! trial she will bare the intimate de tails of her life. Clara will take the stand tn her own defense, it is stated. She will say she shot and killed the oll multimillionaire and republi can national committeeman in self- defense, This is a synopsis of her story: “I was 17—an unsophisticated clerk in a store. Jake Hamon came into the store time and again, under the pretext of making purchases at my counter. LURED WITH PROMISE OF BETTER POSITION “Finally he lured me to his office, | by promise of a better position, | “For 10 years I was dominated by him. But I came to love him. And/ I did everything possibie to contrib ute to his success. It was I who! made many of the suggestions that men attributed to his business sagao | ity | “Rut when he reached the apex of power In riches and politios, he told me I must go. I agreed, I had my/ railroad Uckets, 1 was going far away, “On that last evening together Hamon was drunk. He created a scene on the hotel balcony about 6 o'clock. I left him and locked my self in my room. Then I sent for| food. He pushed in behind the waiter. “He was enraged. He called me/| a terrible name. Then he grabbed | me by the throat with one hand and! by the fingera with the other. He twisted my fingers to torture me. | Finally I broke loose, MADE A THREAT TO CUT HER THROAT “Hamon reached for his knife and made a threat to cut my throat. He started to lunge toward me, with his fingers clutching the air grotesquely. He grabbed a chair and struck at me. “At that moment I had my revol-| ver in my hand, pointing at him, and I was calling to him to stop, The chair struck the revolver ang dis charged it.

Alexander Cronk: | hite, killed at Camp Lewis October 1918, The accepted theory that the killing was accidental is now being questioned. At the same time, agents of the local bureau of investigation, under Chief J. F. McAuley, are gathering data on the tmgedy, to be forwarded to the department | of justice headquarters in Washing-| ton. | Information from several sources conflict as to the details of Maj. Cronkhite’s death. News dispatches at the timo’ stated that the officer was killed on the pistol range. Washington Thursday contains a dif. ferent version, as follows “Department of justice says Maj Cronkhite was not killed on the pis. tol range in camp, but was out on maneuvers, where a problem was be ing worked out for instruction. Maj Cronkhite had gone ahead of the col-| umn about a quarter of a mile, put up a box post, and was shooting at it| with his pistol. “Finally hitting It, he turned to re-| mark concerning it, and fell with a bullet wound in his side. “Finding of accidental shooting at the time has not satisfied all inter ested parties, and the department of Justice bas been trying to locate any | one having definite knowledge as to what happened on the spot.” j Maj. Cronkhite's mother, who lives in Washington city, wrote to Tacoma papers two months ago, seeking data on the shooting of her son, Major Cronkhite was a son of Gen. Cronkhite, commander in| © of the 80th division.
