DRAMATIC SCENE
DURING The HAU
MURDER TRIAL
Defendant Stated His Wife Had De-
clarcd Her Intentions of Conn
mitting Suicide.
(By the Associated Press }

KARLSRUHE, Germany, July 10.
The third day of the trial of Karl
Hau, who is accused of the murder
of his mother-in-law, Frau Moliter,
at Baden Baden, last November,
brought a climax of dramatic inter-
est. Testimony was given by the
sisters and brother of Hau's wife,
who committed suicide during the
Incarceration of her husband.
Lieutenant Moliter swore he sus-
pected Hau from the first He said
it fell to him to explain to his sister
all the circumstances OF the case,
pointing to the guilt of her husband
and this recital finally convinced her
that Karl Hau was the murderer.
Haus counsel read a letter which
Mrs. Hau had written him from Zu-
rich regarding her last interview with
her husband, in which she said that
this interview was rather unsatisfac-
tory and exciting company. AT this
point Hau arose and in very low
voice said that his wife had told him
at this interview that she intended to
commit suicide because she was un-
able to hear all her family matters
discussed before the public. He tried
to persuade her to desist from the
purpose because it would create an
impression that he was guilty. Hau
made the statement without emotion
and his compOsure was complete.
The afternoon session was devoted
to hearing various witnesses who saw
man with a false beard in Baden
Baden, several of them near the Mo-
liter home, and within an hour of
the tragedy.
A servant girl employed by the
Moliters' testified that she answered
telephone call and reported to Frau
Moliter that it was well known
voice. Its Mr.. Hau,' the witness
said she told Frau Moliter.
Several specialists testified con-
corning prolonged examination OF
Hau during his Incarceration and OF
finding him sane. DR.. Diett, counsel
for Hau, sharply criticised the re-
marks of one of the experts as being
the tool of the prosecuting attorney.
Sharp words were then exchanged
between the judge and DR.. Diett and
the latter threatened to withdraw
from the case.
The court is working under pres
sure in an endeavor to finish the case.

INVESTIGATING
BOARD RENDERS
ITS VERDICT
Says "Flare Back" Cause of the EX-
plOsion on The Battleship
Georgia.
(By the Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, July 19-By elm
ination, the naval board which has
been investigating the accident
whereby the men in the turret of the
battleship Georgia lost their lives,
has arrived at the conclusion that a
delayed flare back caused the ex-
plosion In one sense the verdict is
received with distinct feeling of re-
lief by naval officers because it
showed that they had no new element
of danger to contend with.
They had experienced flare backs
before and thought that they knew
how to deal with them.
A delayed flare back is caused
by closing off too soon the blast of
compressed air which is supposed to
expel from the bore of the gun the
unburned gases and fragments of
smouldering powder-covering, which
might be left from the last discharge.
After the terrible accident in the
Missouri's turret, three years ago, re-
sulting in the loss of over thirty lives,
the ordnance department caused to
be fitted to the breech of each of the
great guns an air blast apparatus cal
culated to expel by compressed air
any gas or cloth that might remain in
the bore of the gun So far this has
worked well and there have been no
flare backs" since the device was in
stalled.
In the case of the Georgia's eight
inch guns, what happened was this:
The breech of the gun was thrown
omen and the air blast turned into
it at a pressure of 100 pounds to the
square inch This is sufficient for all
ordinary purposes, with the import
ant qualification that it should be
continued long enough to drive the
last remnant of gas or cloth from the
gun bore In this case the gases or
smouldering cloth (Which, is not
known now, were driven probably
more than half way to the muzzle of
the gun, when the air blast was turn
ed off. The Georgia was steaming
at ten knots into the wind, which
blew into the muzzle of the gun. The
unexpelled gases or cloth, was driven
back by the breeze into the breech OF
the gun and out upon the powder
charge which was just about to be
inserted. The explosion which fol-
lowed was inevitable. The cause OF
this accident, therefore. will without
doubt be set down to the ambition OF
the gunners to make record.
Had their blast been kept up for
second longer in all probability the
accident would have been avoided.
Three shots from an eight-inch gun
in a turret in one minute, or ten shots
from both guns in turret in two
minutes is record practice. and there
is reason to believe that Lieutenant
Goodrichs turret crew were about to
smash that record.
