John Burke Seeks to
Recover on Notes from
Nelson BARLEY Estate

Skowhegan, Feb. 16-Are the notes
which John A. Burke claims Nelson
w. BARLEY gave him genuine or for
geries? This is the question raised
by suit just instituted by Burke
against E. E. Piper of Jackman, ad-
ministrator for the estate of BARLEY.
1t will be recalled that in both trials
of Burke upon the charge of murder,
the State commended that these three
notes having total face value of
$1,000 were forgeries and that they
furnished the motive for the killing
of BARLEY to make him whole for
money advanced to BARLEY by him in
a rum deal.
The jury in the murder trials were
not asked to pass upon the genuine
ness of theanotes. They only had to
decide whether in their opinion
Burke's guilt of the crime had been
established beyond reasonable
doubt so that this case when it comes
for trial probably at the next term
of the supreme court here, the jury
will have to express an opinion on
the notes.
Hon. w. p. Pattangall of Augusta
is counsel for Burke while George e.
Cover Of Skowhegan, James III. Hud-
son of Guilford and George w. Morse
of Bangor are counsel for the Barley
estate.

Army Filler Fails
in Attempt to Break
Endurance Record

Mineola, Feb. 16-Lieut. Ross c.
kirkpatrick, who hoped off from
Mitchell Field in an airplane this
morning in an attempt to break the
worlds endurance record for con-
tinuous fight, was forced to land at
6.55 p. NJ on account of a cracked
generator He had been up slightly
more than II hours
This was his second unsuccessful
attempt to break the record, his pre-
vious trial being last December,
when leaky gasoline pipe forced
him to descend after~1s hours and 10
minutes flying.
The worlds record was establish
ed last June. by Lieutenants Bossou-
troll and Bernard at Etampes, France.
They remained N the air "a hours,
10 minutes and Z seconds. The
American record of 20 hours and 10
minutes is held hy the navy.
Lieutenant Kirkpatrick, apparent
ly chagrined at his failure, announced
shortly after landing that he would
make a third attempt as soon is he
received necessary permission from
the department of military aeronau-
tics. He attributed the accident to
The excessive vibration caused by the
, slow speed at which he fiew-about
60 miles an hour. This, he said,
snapped the bolt connecting the gen.
erasor to 1.-THE crank case.
Spring weather here today made
flying conditions ideal. From the
time the biplane took the air at 7.34
O'clock this morning, until it des-
cended gracefully in the glare of a
100000 candle power ffooi light to-
night. the ship was in sight Of
Mitchell Field.
The aviator kept at a general al
titude of about 300 or 400 feet and
flew slowly, he said to conserve gas
and oil. Food enough to last for "a
hours was carried and $40 gallons of
gasoline and As gallons of oil were in
the machine. ~
The total lightweight was about
1000 pounds, or more than the equi-
valent of two 1900 pound bombs
. which. if dropped from an altitude of
300 feet. army officers said. would
be sufficient to- destroy the largest
battleship afloat.
Army officers and officials of the
Aero Club of America watched the
attempt. Lieutenant Kirkpatrick
was accompanied by Max Goode-
nough, a civilian mechanician, who
also was with him on the trip last
December.
