Two Negro Suspects Partially Identified
The Cheyenne police identified Nave two hours after arresting a second suspect, Underwood, in the assault on Mrs. Odom. Underwood, a local garage worker, was found near the garage and admitted to duties while Mrs. Odom linked him to the attack, though he wore a different coat and hat at the time. The finding also clears Willard Jackson of Brighton, Colo., and narrows the motive to a brutish infatuation behind the crime. Nave’s residence near the Odom home and the proximity of his back door to the Odom residence shed light on the sequence and timing of the assault.

Mexico to Nationalize Oil Faces Difficult Congress Debate
Mexico prepares for a special session starting January 6 to tackle petroleum legislation amid debate over nationalization. The Senate earlier approved a confiscatory bill rejected by the chamber, and officials fear a conciliatory stance toward foreign oil interests may be unlikely under the new administration. The State Department reports eight oil property titles granted under Carranza era decrees, while many drilling permits in federal zones were issued at the end of De la Huerta's term.
