the aviator ended his life was found
imbedded in the ceiling of his room.

on Trial Today.

Special TO The washisEtos Times.
NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 29.-Sensa-
tional disclosures which may i'm
plicate a brother officer in the role
of "loVe-pirate" are expected In con-
nection with the trial OF Lieut.. ID. A.
Rupp, U. s. A., accused OF attacking
his wife with knife in her bed
room on the Langley Field reserva-
ton, December II. Rupp's trial, be-
fore a military court OF five off,
GERS, was to begin today.
sTEPLADDER FIGURES.
The Implication of brother officer
of Rupp hangs on the finding or a
stepladder under Mrs. Rupp's window.
Both Col. w. w. Hensley, command
ing officer at Langley Field, and the
Hampton police, who made an inic-
pendent investigation of the anai-,
are convinced the husband did not put
the ladder there. Instead, ii is be-
lieved, Mrs. Rupp may have had an
other officer also stationed at Lang
ley Field. as a clandestine visitor. Ac-
cording to the police theory, Rupp
attacked his wife when he discovered
this visitors presence.
If the police theory is true, Ii au-
tenant Rupp has been following the
unwritten law. Not one word of cen-
sure against his wife has been ut
tered by him. At first he declared the
ladder was used by a woman, VINO
climbed into his wifes room and al
tackled her. His wife struggled. ne
said, and tore an earring from her as
sailant. He turned the bauble Ove-
to the authorities as evidence, and 1t
was identified as the property OF
Hampton woman well known to seT-
eral officers at Langley Field and
with whom Lieutenant Rupp was par
