Wanderings of u 'Tiger Woman” Told in Letter Frequent Quarrels Between Alleged “Hammer Slayer” and Companions Re* vealed in Message. Los Angeles, April 24.—The Central American wanderings of the woman believed to be Clara Phillips, escaped hammer murderess, whose extradition from Tegucigalpa. Honduras, is be ing sought, are described in a letter received by Chief of Police Oaks from C. W. Flagh of Guatemala City, Guatemala. The letter came while officers were perfecting plans Jor s-peedy extradition of Mrs. Phillips, who is believed to be using the name, "Mrs. Hubert Young." Flagh's letter gives minute de scriptions of a man and two women, the man and ono of the women de scribing themselves as "Mr. and Mrs. Carson." The description of the man corresponds with that of Jesse C. Car son, wanted here on a charge of arson, and who is believed to be with Mrs. Phillips. The description of one of the women, known according to Flagh as the "sister-in-law,” fits Mrs. Phillips. The second woman is un known to the authorities here. The three seem to. have plenty of money, according to Flagh, but when the letter was written, March 11, l were anxious to leave Guatemala. The women often quarreled with the man. who once was put out of the hotel for drunkenness and fighting. Flagh wrote. Mrs. Phillips’ extradition will he asked on two charges, according to Deputy District Attorney William Clark, who is preparing the papers. One charge will be that she is a fugi tive from justice as a result of her conviction and life sentence for the murder of Mrs. Alberta Meadows. The other charge will be breaking jail. To facilitate the extradition of Car son, the district attorney's office an nounced that the county grand jury would be asked to return an Indict ment against him charging arson. A complaint charging this offense was filed several months ago. Armour Lee Phillips, husband of "Mrs. Phillips, will report to the sher iffs office every day until further no tice. it was said, following his release after detention of several days, "for investigation."
