Bis BLUE EYES
. Of LITTLE GIRL
HA[Ts SUICIDE
Man Who Lived IN Open Boat
on Chesapeake Bay Tells
Reasons.

The. look OF wonder in the big blue
eyes OF his ten-year-old daughter,
Cora, prevented William A. Spencer,
who was found by The Times Bureau
Of Missing Persons at Ocean View,
Va. from taking his life.
Spencer and the child were missing
for nearly two months. During that
time the couple lived In an open boat
on the Chesapeake Bay. Cora was
taken from the home Of Mrs. George
Haisey, Of SIS M street northeast.
Yesterday Spencer was taken to
Baltinsore and indicted on q charge
Of deserving his wife and children.
IT am glad 70 get home again."
said Spencer. The trip saved my
life. ! hope my wife VIII forgive me.
Planned Suicide.
when left my home In August
II was with the intention Of killing
myself. While was an officer in
the chemical warfare service I was
gassed several times, and when
finally discharged was physical
wreck. In my work I was forced
to use large. quantities Of cyanide.
I absorbed this acid In my system.
I consulted q physician and was told
that II remained at my profession
It would mean my death in a few
months.
''on the day I left my house I
took with me several books on chem
istry and a vial Of poison. I walked
all that day and how I arrived in
Washington I do not remember. I
sold my books for SO and then went
to Mrs. Halsey's house and got my
daughter. e..
More than once took out the
vial to end my life, but when I
looked at my little daughter I did
not have the courage. For SO I pur-
chased q battered rowboat, started
down the Potomac river, intending
to go back to Baltimore. II
Open Air Aided.
I'VE earned our living by catching
fish. As the physicians advised me,
exposed my body to the sun. I
lived most of the time in a bathing
suit. think the outdoor life has
driven most of the poison from my
system and feel benefited"
After Spencer and the child dis
appeared Mrs. Spencer told the police
she suspected foul play. The WASH
tngton Times Bureau Of Missing
Persons was asked to search for the
father and daughter. It was through
the bureaus efforts that they were
found. 49,.

Sam Gompers, veteran labor
leader, with the aid of Secretary
Of Commerce Herbert Hoover,
"slipped one over" on Mons. Ur-
baine Ledoux, or "Mr. Zero" yes
terday.
Following the little controversy
q few days ago at the conference,
Ledoux, according 10 the news
paper photographers, planned to
walk out Of the Commerce building
with Sam Gompers, merely to show
that there were no hard feelings.
The newspaper photographers all
thought It would make q nice pic
ture and a battery Of cameras
prepared TO "shoot" when the two
came out, arm in arm.
As Mr.. Gompers started to leave
the building, Ledoux met him,
chatting amiably, but just as they
reached the entrance Of the build
ing, Gompers ''tumbled" to the
frame up.
Leaving Mr.. Hoover, he asked
Secretary Hoover the back way
out Of the building and upon be-
ing directed by Mr.. Hoover ''beat
it." leaving the photographers, and
Mr.. Ledoux waiting patiently for
sometime before they awake 10 the
fact that "Sam" had disappeared.
