MURDER OF BOYS
CHICKEN FARM DISCLOSURES
DRAMATIC FLIGJHT OF IMPORTANT WITNESS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Australian Association (Received 9tli October, 10.15 a.m.) VANCOUVER, Bth October. Jessie Clark, aged 19, the Canadian girl whose startling disclosures brought about the arrest of her uncle, Gordon Stuart Nortlicott, on sensational murder charges, made a dramatic flight at midnight across the border. The girl was bundled into a high-powered car and disappeared before the officers were aware that she had gone. It is reported that agents of Northcott in California engineered the coup to prevent her giving testimony. Nortlicott and his mother are awaiting extradition on the charge of murder of four boys on a chicken ranch. A later report indicates that the flight was engineered by the California police to prevent any recantation of the statement and extradition proceedings.
