Coroner Knight decided to continue
the case two weeks longer, until num-

appear today could be summoned.
Only Two Eye-witnesses
Policemen Robert Ramsey and John
II. Snyder, who arrested Bullock ana
were with him when he was shot, were
the only witnesses to take the stand
who knew anything of the shooting.
Police Lieutenant Harry Myers, or
the Seventeenth District. incurred the
wrath of the Assistant District Attor-
ney while he was on the stand. Myers
was grilled at length and admitted nat
he saw Bullock lying on the station
house floor. but did not know what was
the matter with him.
After Ramsey and Snyder had given
testimony which was not sufficient to
hold either of them, G. Henry Dicker-
son, negro who represents the negroes
concerned in the riot cases. charged

motor.
Ultimately in the autumn of 1917 the
board adopted one French and two Eng
lish types OF fighting planes to carry
the Liberty engine. These were the
Spad, the Bristol and the De Haviland
four.
Colonel Clarke was instructed to re-
design the Bristol upon the English
model. retaining its wing load of about
IL pounds in a total weight of 2937
pounds.
Hundreds of changes afterwards
made In this design by signal corps ana
production engineers without consulting
Colonel Clarke. the corps expert, in

pounds per foot. with an approximate
weight of 1900 pounds. Some Of these
changes were required by the Increased
