Attorney of Murderess of Dr.
Baldwin Says Viholesale
Killing of Jnfected Ani
mals Led to Crime.
Doctor Had Four Wives
r _
Los Angeles, April 14.—That the
WilUs-Baldwln trunk murder was an
indirect result of the foot snd mouth
disease was one line of the defense
outlined today by S. S. Hahn, attor
ney. retained by Mrs. Margaret B.
Willis, formerly of Denver, who yes
terday confessed having killed Dr.
Beecher Baldwin, formerly of Omaha,
stuffed his body in a trunk and
thrown it over a San Fernando road
embankment.
Temporary Insanity will be the bul
wark of the defense, Hahn said, and
he went on to explain his client's
statement to officers yesterday that
she regarded the killing of a human
being no more serious than the
slaughtering of an animal.
Mrs. Willis had brooded so much
over the legal slaughtering of cattle
in the campaign against the foot and
mouth disease that It warped her
judgment of right and wrong to such
sn extent that she was Insane when
shs slew Dr. Baldwin,” Hahn de
dared.
The police, proceeding on the more
r ld-fashlened theory that "the half
has not been told,” today were pre
paring to take Mrs. Willis back over
every step of her story as told the
first time yesterday morning. She
will be asked to re-enact the killing
of the* doctor In her apartments, as
she asserted, in defense of her honor,
the packing of the trunk with the
corpse, the auto drive out Into the
, country with the trunk and her room
er, Burt C. Webster, and finally the
throwing of the trunk over the San
Fernando road embankment.
The woman, middle aged, calm and
unemotional, again told her story to
day without variations. Re enactment
of the drama will be carried out In the
hope that a new angle and motive
may he supplied.
Webster still is being held ss o
material witness.
Marital adventures of Dr. Beechei
' B. Baldwin, formerly of Omaha, were
hared Monday by detectives through
out the country.
A check of his career was started
. on the heels of the confession Sunday
to Los Angeles police by Mrs. Mar
garent Willis that she killed the phy
sician during a battle for her honor,
placed the body In a trunk and then
hurled It Into a canyon In San
Fernando valley.
Dr. Baldwin was graduated from
Creighton Medical college in 1906 with
highest scholastic honors. He was
then 21.
Interne at Lincoln.
After his graduation he went to
Lincoln, where he served his interne
ship In the St. Elizabeth hospital.

Rally to Side

_
Administration Senators in
Fighting Mood in Resist
ing Pinehol-Heney On
slaught at Mellon.
Brief Armistice Called
Washington, April 14.—Administra
tion senators were again in a fight
j ing mood today In resisting the Pin
hot Heney onslaught at Secretary
Mellon by way of the Internal revenue
| bureau Investigating committee.
Through Senator Watson, repub
bean, Indiana, committee chairman,
they gathered new support from con
ferences with President Coolidge and
Mr. Mellon, while Senator Edge, re
publican, New Jersey, raided the dem
ocratic side with a prepared speech
defending the president's action in the
controversy.
The challenge was taken up
promptly by Senator Heflin, demo
.crat, Alabama, who trained his guns
ion the White House and republican
I leaders generally, charging an at
! tempt to strangle senate Investiga
tions. The word battle on the senate
'floor was Interrupted at Its height,
I however, by an unexpected motion
for an executive session to consider
Japanese exclusion, made by Senator
Lodge, the republican leader.
Brief Armistice.
The armistice Is destined to be
brief. If leader* on both side* make
good their promisee to air further the
three-cornered political combat that
has ome out of the president's spe
cial message to the senate last iweek
un the Invitation, with Secretary Mel
lon figuring as the storm center.
Senator Watson brought private
word to hla colleagues from the
White House early today, after a
conference with the president and
Secretary Mellon, that hla statement
on the floor last week that the presi
dent w*s concerned only with the In
ternal revenue bureau Investigation
- ommtttee and the attempt to bring
I-’rancla J. Heney Into that work as
committee counsel, stated Mr. Cool
Idge'a position correctly.
In the meantime, no decision had
been reached as to when Senator
Watson’a proposal to discharge the
committee would be pressed nor was
there any plan on the democratic
side to demand action on the proposal
of Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
to expunge the president's message
from senate records at an affront to
the dignity of that body.
Content to Hospital.
Senator Coutens. republican, Mich
igan, moving spirit In the Investiga
tion and also In the actual effort to
bring Heney Into the Inquiry, was
taken to Baltimore today for medical
treatment and his condition probably
will prevent h<s return to the senate
for many days. So far he has been
unable to have any aay whatever In
the controversy hie action precipi
tated.
While Senator Wataon and othar
senators hav* Indicated a desire to
postpone definite action until Senator
Courens could be present. It seemed
doubtful today that they could await
hla return.
Senator Edge leveled moat of his
shafts at the democratie aide, declar
ing the outbreak of erltlclem from
minority senators over terms of the
president's message waa due to "dis
appointment, ” that the work of the
Investigating committee had failed to
reveal any sound basis for attack on
Mr. Mellon.

Gentlemen's
Agreement
Voted Down
!
•\Vil*«l Threat” in llanihara
Letter Causes Several
Solous to Change Stand
ami Favor Exclusion.
House Bill to Be Adopted
Washington. April 14—Th* senate
answered Ambassador Haniliara’s
protest against Japanese exclusion
legislation today by voting, 76 to 2.
against recognition of the "gentle
men's agreement" with Japan on ths
immigration question.
This action is preliminary to adop
tion by the senate by an overwhelm
ing majority of the house Japanese
exclusion provision.
Whatever ths result would have
been without the incident of the am
bassador's letter, that communication
served to change the votes of a nun
ber of administration leaders. Includ
ing Senator Lodge of Massachuset's,
chairman of the foreign relations
committee.
The republican leader Informed tha
senate In open session that he re
garded the Hanihara letter as a
'•veiled threat." and declared that In*
the face of that threat he could not
support the Immigration committee's
proposal to recognize by law the
"gentlemen's agreement.”
Senator* Outspoken.
A number of other senator* took
the same view and only one voice,
that of Senator Sterling, republican.
South Dakota, was raised in defense
of the ambassador's action. Senator
Colt, chairman of the Immigration
committee. Joined Senator Sterling in
the vote, but did not speak.
Senators generally threw off the
usual restraint# In dealing with In
ternational questions. They were
blunt and outspoken in their declara
tions that In view of the "grave con
sequences" warning In the ambassa
dor's letter there was nothing for
them to do but to make it clear once
and for ail that immigration is a do
mestic question In the handling of
which no independent liower could
have its sovereignty questioned.
Amendment to Be Itrafted.
After the vote which eliminated
the language framed by the commit
tee to legalise the •■gentlemen's
agreement." Senator Reed, repub
lican. Pennsylvania, who is actively
In charge of the immigration blit,
gave notice that an exclusion amend
ment would be drafted overnight in
the earns language as that tmployed
in ths bill which ths house passed
last week by a majority of more than
four to one.
Thia insures that whatevsr differ
ence may arise on other points be
tween the two houses in completing
the Immigration bill, the Japanese ex
clusion provision win go to ths pres!
dent.
No indications have v»t com# from
ths Whits House as to ths course
President Coolldg* will follow. To
day's developments in ths senate,
however, seemed to indicate that
there would be sufficient vote* in both
houses to repass the bill over a veto
should the president take that course.
Senate republican leader* were frank,
however, in privately expressing the
opinion that the president would
sign the immigration measure, de
spite the fact that through Secretary
Hughes the administration has con
sistently restricted Japanese exclu
sion legislation.
