Swami Offers Witnesses
For Cocchi Trial i'm Italy
District Attorney Repudiates
Assertion That Italians Wife
Killed Ruth Cruger

District Attorney Swami yesterday
gave out letter he had sent to Signor
Martinez, attorney for the King, Court
of Assizes, Bologna, Italy, in which he
repudiated Cocchi's claim that his
wife and not he killed Ruth Cruger
in this city on February 13, 1917.
Referring to the letter received by
Signor Venturini, counsel for Cocchi
from James J. Lynch, of this city, in
which Lynch "suggests some theory of
the murder without any evidence what
ever to substantiate his theory" Mr..
Swami writes:
"In the investigation I have called
before mo the said James J. Lynch, and
his examination shows that he is with
out any knowledge or information
concerning the facts in this case and
his letter should have no effect what
ever at the trial"
Lynch, who is clerk in the office
of the City Chamberlain, appeared
yesterday before Mr.. Swami. He wrote
to Cocchi's counsel that Ruth Cruger
was slain by gangsters. Lynch ad-
mitted to Mr.. Swami that his letter
was written on hearsay evidence and
that he knew nothing definitely Of the
case.
In his letter Mr.. Swami asked for
information relative to the exact date
of the adjournment Of the trial. He
expressed q Willingness to offer any
additional evidence needed and to
send witnesses if desired.<

tion they displayed was slight quiver
of the lips.
Ehe brief ceremony over, the crowd
made a rush to shake hands with Lieu
tenant Commander Read, for whom
there was no escape. He stood it all
quietly with a smile, but there was q
look in his eye which plainly said he
would far sooner be Drawing the tenn
pest-rocked air of the Atlantic.
To the newspaper men he said:
"The only thing about the affair
regret is that the operation was not
entirely successful. l mean that all
We were given wonderful reception
everywhere, but to-day l am beginning
to realize that the reception has only
just started"
Greeted by Wives
The feminine staff Of the Port of
Embarkation took charge of the scene
and surged about the three comman-
ders and their crews. A storm of
kisses was about to break over the
airmen, but they ESCAPED to the room
where their wives we're patiently wait
ing, the last to welcome them.
Earlier phases Of the reception down
the bay were even more dramatic.
Early in the morning the submarine
chaser Herreshoff left the pier at
Ninety-siXth Street and North River
with the wives of the airmen.
Full of vivacity and enthusiasm,
Mrs. Read rushed on deck and searched
eagerly through the mist for sight of
the ship that was bringing her hus-
band. Behind her came Mrs Towers
and Mrs. Bellinger.
A reporter who had been in the navy
wigwagged to the Zeppelin as soon as
the Herreshoff came up close to the
transport. He flashed across the
names of all the women on board
Airs. James l.. Breese, whose husband
was engineer on the NC-4, feared that
he had been unable to catch the Zep-
pelin in Europe. The reporter asked
that if Breese were aboard he step ur
on the rail SO that his wife could see
him. minute later the NC-4's en-.
gineer was seen on the rail.
The cutter Manhatta1 bearing the
committee of welcome organized by
the Aero Club of America left Piel
A at 1855.
The Manhattan carried men most
prominent in aeronautical circles in
this city. She also hadeon board J. F.
Towers, brother of the Nc commander,
and his wife, and Miss Mary Towers,
a sister of the commander.
Others on board were Glenn H. Cur
tiss, Alan r. Hawley, Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, Captain Robert A.
Bartlett, Major S. H. Mapes, Major G.
A. Pollock, Henry Woodhouse, Colonel
W. G. Barker, the Canadian ace who
has sixty-eight Germans to his credit;
H. Pushae Williams, president of the
Queens Chamber Of Commerce, and W.
w. Mountain.
Lieutenant Ross c. Kirkpatrick, in a
de Haviand q, one of the five machines
which flew from Mineola over the Zep-
pelin, flew within 100 feet Of the
transport and dropped six. letters. One
of the six reached the Decks of the
ship. The letters were from the
American Flying Club inviting the air
men to the dinner which is to be given
them in the Hotel Commodore on
! Wednesday evening.

ME above question goes straight to the
root of one of the largest items of motor
ing expenditure. For tires cost money
h'u much money depends largely on whether
your car is or is not easy on tires.
The average car ION the right heavy, or
r'g'dly built, or both-to go 10000 miles,
needs an extra set of tires, or eight tires in all.
The Franklin Car ION the lefo to go the
same dlstance-and furthcr-needs only the
tour tires on the car, or half as many as the
other.
There could be no clearer illustration of the
splendid economy of the Franklin-America's
First Light Weight Fine Car; nor more direct
Indictment OF unnecessary motor car weight.
