BIG AIRSHIP WRECKED.
Successful Graft Of German inven'
tor Struck by Lightning.

STUTTGART, Germany, Aug. s.
Count Zeppelin's airship, the most
successful aeronavig ator which has
yet spread its wings to the breeze, was
totally destroyed this afternoon after
the most sensational flight in the his.
tory of aeronautics.
The airship alighted near the Rhine
. few miles from this point because of
q defect developed in the motor. While
the mechanics were at work an elec-
trical storm came up. The gas in the
bags caught fire from the lightning,
and in twinkling the ropes and fas.
Jennings were a mass of wreckage, and
portions of the ship tearing away from
the moorings sailed away In the sky.
Count Zeppelin has devoted his life
time and his personal fortune to the
development of his airships. The yes.
sci that was lost today was the fourth
he had constructed.
When his own money had become
exhausted the German reichstag voted
him S125, 900 to conduct further expert.
ments, and No. 4 was the result. The
government agreed to purchase this
ship on condition that it fulfilled Ger.
tain requirements, the principal one
being that it remained in the air
twenty.four hours and land on terra
6rma. This stipulation had not been
fulfilled.
The airship was 443 feet long, with
a diameter of about As feet. Ittapered
to a blunt point at the bow, while at
the stern were various rudders and
frames used in steering. It was fitted
underneath with two Independent plat.
forms, each carrying motor capable
of developing 140-horse power.

49,
The crowd in the court room walt
ed breathlessly while Judge Burnett
pronounced the sentence at 1880
O'Clock this morning. The prisonet
received the Judgment with the same
stolid countenancp that he has ex-
hlbited throughout the trial, a.
though as the words came from .he
Judge, Ross face turned ashen pale
and his hands trembled a little.
An able. but hopeless, argument
by Walter McCamant for an arrest Of
Judgment consumed half the morn
ing. and finally in response to Judge
Lrrnett's question he stated that ne
had nothing 'urther to say The mo.
tlon for an arrest OF judgment was
overruled at the close OF McCamant's
argument this morning, and the mo-
ton for new trial. which was ar
gued yesterday, was overruled after
the sentence was pronounced.
Pending the appeal Ross WIFI be
released on $4,000 bail.
McCamant based his motion for an
arrest OF judgment on the grounds
that the Information in the COM
plant against Ross did not contain
sufficient evidence TO constitute a
crime as charged. The statute. he
contended, was meant 10 apply only
tC persons In an official capacity, and
not to bank odiclal with whom
money may have been left for sefe
keeping.
District Attorney Manning docliu-
ed to reply 10 the arguments at
length, because they had all been
presented and settled at the trial.
Judge Pipes took up and refuted ssv-
eral OF the contentious OF McCamant.
The attorney for the defense had
said that the legislature in making
this law had fixed so severe a penal |
ty because in charge under It mali
fesance In Office and willful dlshon-
esty were implied. and that no evil
dence had been introduced TO prove
that Ross was guilty of either OF !
these. "This." said Judge Pipes, SIS 1
not the case. The severity OF the !
penalty was imposed because It was
the public money that was converted
Wisely or unwisely the legislature /
has seen fit to place a greater penal. /
ty on the larceny of public than OF
private funds, and the law does not
consider the character of the man
who concerts It,"
Judge Burnett In considering the
points raised by MeCamant. said l
''The statute says hat n a1v norsan 1
has I'm his possession public money.
ard converts ii to his own use, he
shall be punished. II does not say 1
that he must he a pnblic Official, hut II
any person. Neither does It state he

main contentious in the argument,

for an arrest of Judgment would be
