Peg'g'y Caffee, Accuser of Hammer Murderess During Trial, Is Found by Deputy Sheriffs. HUSBAND ADVANCES REVENGE THEORY Believes Friends of Slain Woman Are Responsive for Jail Delivery on Promise to Give Help. * Bu United Press LOS ANGELES. Cai.. Dee. 6.—Fear that Clara Phillips, “hammer murderess,' ’ who made a sensational escape from jail Tuesday, was kidnaped by anemie* who may iiave kiiled her, was expressed today by Armour Phillips, thè fugitive’s husband. Friends of Mrs. Alberta Meadows, who was slain by Mrs. Phillips, lured thè prisoner througli thè window of thè jail on a promise to help her escape, according to thè theory Phillips unfolded to police, “My wife was threatened many “

times during thè trial,” he asserted. The disappearance of Peggy Caffee, chief witness agaln Mrs. Phillips, had j strengthened thè strange hypothesis j advanced by thè husband. However. Mrs. Caffee, was locateli | at Long Beach toiluy by deputy ' sheriffs. "I believe I saw Mrs. Phillips on thè streets of Long Beach yesterday,” she said. "She was in a high state of nervous excitement.” Rumors that Mrs. Phillips may have escaped by airplane were strengthened with receipt of reports from San Diego authorities that two planes of unknown identity had been observed fiving across San Diego. Posse Folline Tips Search for thè "hammer murderess” spread as sheriffs posses followed ciews furnished by Phillips. Grilled nearly all night behind barred doors. Phillips gave names of | persons he believes may have aìded ' his wife in breaking from thè county ; jail. He established a complete alibi I for himself. I Automobile tire marks outside thè | jail and again near thè home of Mrs. i Caffee. from which thè State's witness w;Vs absent, led sheriffs to believe j Mrs. Phillips had been driven to I Peggy's home In search of vengeance. ; Authorities admitted theroselves j stumped, Chief Criminal Deputy 1 SherifT Al Manning. declaring: "We'vo run into a blank wall on every clew we've followed." Belief is sustained, however, that thè "hammer murderess” fled to thè I desert. Garage Man Gives Tips 1 A garage man gave a tip of a man ! and woman, thè latter burying her face in a newspaper. who drove up hurriedly to his place yesterday and asked for “desert tires.” A little negress, devoted to Clara ! Phillips, was mentioned by thè latteria husband as a possible suspect. He declared ho was glad his wife was free. "This little negress was especially good to my wife,” Phillips said. as white and drawn he was pounded with questions. "This girl used to help Clara with her work—but I don’t think she had anything to do with thè escape. Iris just my crazy notion of what might have huppened." Phillips declared he was asleep in a downtown hotel at thè time of thè escape and that thè first he heard of it was when he saw thè newspapers. One theory today was that Mrs. Phillips, her accoinplices and Mrs. Cassee —thè latter probably a prisoner —had entered a boat at Long Beach and started for Mexican waters. On Lookout in Mexico The Mexican authorities at Ensenada, tlie first port on thè Lower California coast below thè border, were on thè lookout and had promised to make an arrest if they sound thè fugitive. , The road from San Diego to Tia Juana was also watched. Tia Juana is just over thè line. There is only one highway leading to it —“thè road to hell,” as it was tlubbed when Tia .Juana was a flourishing gambling and drinking place. Another means of exit Troni thè United States to | Mexico is via thè Imperiai Volley, | through Calexico, and so into Mexicali. This route is guarded. Calexico police are using an airplane in their patrol of thè border. Mrs. Philllips, in belief of thè sheriffs office, was lielped by an "underground railway System.” She may remain several days atone of thè towns between Los Angeles anil thè border to give thè pursuit time to cool, under plana drawn up in advance. The jail matron said she saw men walking on thè roof of a building adjoining thè prison and in full view

of a constructive nature Is done. The situation has reached thè point where considerale concern must be developed over this wastage of human fife. The automonile industry as a business ls nothlng but a business. The manufacturers must take this human annlhilation a 3 one of their major problems. “The American people, as we know, are slow to action. Let us act before it is too i;fte. before thè American people insist upon some ill-matured and panicky program.”

of Mrs. Phillips’ window on severaJ occasiona before thè escape. Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, released from thè prison just before Mrs. Phillips’ escape, gave thè dainty curtain which Mrs. Phillips hung over tho bars to conceal her sawing operations. This strengthens authorities' belief that Mrs. Obenchain had knowledge that Mrs. Phillips was going to make a break for liberty, Madalynne was kept under surveillance. There was much speculation as te thè probable fate of Mrs. Caffee if she had been carrled away by Mrs. Phillips and her gang. Inasmuch as Mrs, Caffee’s evidence convicted Mrs. Phil lips. police have little expectation of finding her alive if she has fallen into thè woman’s hands. Advices from Mexico this morning said locai authorities were cooperating with thè Americans to thè fullest extent. Deputy Sheriff Biscaillusa went to Ensenada aster organizing a border patrol. while Deputy Logan romained in charge at Tia Juana.
