'LUMBER OUEEII' MS NO FEAR OF MURQER CHARGE Maintains Innocence and Declares Malice and Envy Are Behind Prosecution. BUILT MODEL HOUSES Mrs. Lillian Knox Tells of Black Conspiracy’ Against Her. f'tpi/rii/ht, 10 32, bv United Pres* HEMPHILL, Texas. Jan. s.—Mrs. Lillian Knox, held in $25,000 bail oti charges of murdering her millionaire husband, Hiram Knox, today gave out her version of the ease for the first time in an interview with the United Press. “Malice and envy are behind this prosecution—l am innocent of this awful crime and I will prove it.” the attractive widow charged. "There are just a few persons in this timber country' who have tried to break me, she added. "They failed in that—now they have charged me with an awful murder. But I have on fears. I will prove my innocence. Bond Unreasonable "Why, I could make many times that bond," she said, referring to the $26,000 bond set by W. H. Pratt at the close of the trial yesterday, "but 'it is unreasonable and I won't do It. It is some of those who I have befriended most who are now in this black conspiracy against me. Isn’t it strange how they fawn at your feet and accept all you have to give when the sun is shining, but when dark clouds come over your life how many of those fair weather friends flee and some of them, like wolves, are ready to devour you.” She refered to how she had spent thousands of dollars to create a play ground for the children of the hill country: how she had brought birds of paradise and built a deer park for the people of the little town. Shared Her Kichee “Yes, I couldn't be happy without sharing the things I had with those about me,” she said. “You know Hiram and I built model homes for all our employes. We gave them better than the necessities of life, something to make life sweet and worth while.” The ordeal through which Mrs. Knox is passing seems to bear lightly on her.
