Instruc- tions transmitted by Major Gen. March, chief of staG, directed that every angle of the disaster be careful ly. reviewed.

 Lieut.. Stanley Ames, pilot of the Curtiss Eagle army airplane that crashed near Morgantown, Md, Satur- day night with a loss of seven lives, is exonerated of all blame for the ac- cident in the formal report of the board of investigation submitted today to Major NJ. F. Scanlon, commandant at Boiling Field.
 The accident. in the opinion of the board of three army aviation officers, was absolutely unavoidable and was due entirely to the storm into which the airplane ran while returning from Langley Field, Va, to Washington.
 The report was submitted to Major Scanlon just before the commandant and his staff left the flying field for Washington to attend the funeral of Lieut.. Ames. Captain William c. Ockcr was senior officer of the board, and the other members were Lieuts. Paul T. Wilkins and L.. NJ. Wolfe.

MRS. MOTT COLLAPSES AS WITNESS
 DESCRIBES CONDITION OF CORPSE
"Oh, Don't, Talk of That" She Cries-Judge Declares Recess Until She Could Recover.

Bridgeport, May 3I.--Mrs. Ethel Hutchins Nott, on trial for the mur- der of her husband, George F.. Mott, on August 2e, last. broke down in court today as Daniel O. Ferguson, partner of the dead man in a social club, described in detail his identifi- cation of Nott's body at the morgue.
 'Oh, don't talk of that. cried Mrs. Nott as Ferguson said there was a mark on Nott's forehead and that the back of the mans head had been taken away and that the brains were gone.
 Judge Maltbie declared recess until Mrs. Nott could recover. Fer guson testified when attorneys for Mrs, Nott insisted that the state es- tablish the corpus delicti in the case before using any of Mrs. Nott's state ments at the Wade trial against her. The fact that George Mott was the man whose body he saw at the morgue was established by Ferguson.
 Most of the morning session was taken up with reading of testimony given by Mrs. Mott at the trial of Edwood B. Wade.

NO WORD OF CREW OF
 WRECKED ESPERANTO
But Gloucester Seafaring Folk Are Sure All
 Were Saved.

Halifax. N. S.. May 3f-The fate of the captain and crew of the Gloucester schooner Esperanto, win ner of the international fisherm en' $ race last fall which foundered yes terday off Sable Island, was left still more in doubt today after receipt here of message from the Sable Island station of the marine and fisheries de- partment. H-..s 't .
 An inquiry as to whether Captain Alden Geel of Elsie IT., who had found Esperanto sunk to her cross- trees, had rescued Captain Thomas Benham and his crew of 22, brought this reply from acting Superintendent Naugle:
 Captain Geel was gone when life boat arrived. No sign of life"
 c. H. Harvey, Halifax, agen of the department, then dispatched a sec- ond message reading:
 Did you see Esperanto founder :? Answer with any other information
 Frankly puzzled by the word re- ceived from Sable Island, local fisher men were inclined to believe that the shipwreck had not been seen from shore and that Elsie II had sailed away before the spars of the Glou- cesterman were sighted and a life boat sent out.
 Halifax salts anxiously awaited ar- rival of Elsie IT at some Nova Sco- tian port. Unable to learn anything definite regarding the lot of the Gloucester men Nova Scotians were inclined to regard no news as good news They argued that if the Glou- cester men had been lost Elsie II probably would have sent dory ashore to tell the tale of disaster.
 1t was Captain Benham's first trip in command of the Esperanto on which he had sailed as a member of the all-star skipper crew under Cap tain Marty Welch that manned her for the race last fall. At his home today, were his three motherless chil- dren, the oldest only informed of the question about the safety of the father.
 The Esperanto, whose name will be perpetuated by the cup she won, was Is years in the water, having been built at Essex, sister port of Glou- cester on Cape Ann in 1906. She was 107 feet long and was registered a. 140 tons gross, and 91 tons net
