TORPEDOED, SAY
EIGHT ON SUSSEX
Embassy Gets Afhdavits
from 6 Americans and 2
English Witnesses.
By FRED Il. PITNEl.


Paris, March 27.-The American Em-
bassy here continues 70 gather afii-
davits from both English and Ameri-
can passengers as 20 the sinking Of the
Sussex. and now has six American and
two English. All agree that the Sussex
was torpedoed. While all testimony
so far received says that the bottom
WAS wrecked, that part Of the boat had
no water in it after the accident,
which is considered strong contrma-
tion Of torpedoing.
Ambassador Sharp received letter
this afternoon from Professor Baldwin
saving that the professors wife and
daughter we're saved and, with the pro-
fessor. are at Wimereux, near Boulogne,
where the daughter is in a hospital
suffering from severe shock and con-
cussion. The letter says she has been
in a stupefed condition since her res
cue from the Sussex, but Professor
Baldwin hopes that it is only the effect
OF shock. fTienOS IN aii9 At"N ''' '''N
letter, however, fear of internal in
jurics.
All the Americans known 70 have
been on the Sussex now are accounted
for. Of these three are seriously in
jured-Miss Baldwin, W. G. Penhe!d'
and G. II. Crocker. The last two are
in Dover. According 20 the news re-
ceived by the American Embassy in
Paris. Crocker is wounded in the back
Of the head. He has not yet recovered
consciousness and there are grave fear
for him.
The opinion among American diplo-
mats here is that the fact that no
Americans were killed does not relieve
President Wilson of responsibility to
act. The placing of American lives IN
jeopardy and, beyond that, the serious
injury of three Americans are deemed
sufficient to place Wilson in the posi-
tion that action by him is demanded.
