THE WORKMAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30 1924 PAGE SEVEN Interesting West. Enquire Into Death Of Mrs. Evans (Continued from page 3)
ALBOA EST EER REWED ture last June of Charge Cummins. The Evans case bad brought about the withdrawal of Cummins.
The United States Embassy bas already taken steps necessary to assure possession of the bacienda for Mrs. Evans beirs, while the appartment which she maintained in Mexico City bas been sealed for the purpose of safeguarding important documents which were kept there by the slain woman, which are said to bave considerable bearing on the long fight which she waged against the expropriation of her estate.
The whereabouts of George Camp an American engineer, who abandoned his contracting business in Mexico City four months ago to go to the Evans Hacienda and assist the owner in her battle against Agrarian aggressions, still are unknown.
It has been learned, however, that he left the ranch several days ago when Strauss was employed as manager. the testimony of Camp is expected to figure prominently in the United States and British inquiries into the murder, since he said to have first hand information regarding evidence Mrs. Evans declared she had obtained on the agrarlan plots against her. The plotters, it is said, planned to dispossess her from her hacienda, and kill her if she persisted in resistance Camp is also said to have helped Mrs. Evans upon various occasions when at the points of pistols, she drove off armed Agrarians who had invaded her property.
