Arguments Today
in Trial Nurse Stone
for Murder Kinkead

New York, April 4.-The trial OF
Olivia NJ. P. Stone, graduate nurse,
for the murder of Ellis G. kinkead,
former Cincinnati corporation counsel,
in Brooklyn, reached it's last stages
this afternoon when both the state
and the defense rested their cases aft
or seven days of testimony. sum
ming up by the attorneys will begin
tomorrow and it is expected the jury
will get the case in the afternoon.
For the first time, today Miss Stone
went through the court sessions with
no show of emotion. Most the time
was spent in gathering up loose bits
of evidence by both sides. Herbert
~ Warbassc assistant dist 'ict attor-
ney, called two Cipcinnati detectives
who testified Miss Stone had uttered
threats against Kinkead in their pres
cnce, but his main effort w@s confined
to showing that the nurse was not
insane when she fired six shots into
the lawyers body on August 5. 1921.
Dr., sylvester II. Iahy, Il Brooklyn
alnnist. said he did not believe she
was insane, but on DISCRIMINATION
said that a series of shocks might
have caused her to be abnormal and
to forget the occurrences on the day
of the shooting.
The day was marked by slight
clashes between Edward ]. Reilly,
counsel for Miss Stone, AMI the court.
Mr.. Reilly twice took formal excep-
ton to what he termed the attitude
towards me- of Justice Asphalt. but
the judge assured him he was merely
trying to speed up the trial.

Atlantic Shipping
Warned of Drifting
Mine in Path Liners

Washington, April A drifting
mine was sighted yesterday in the
pathway charted for liners plying
between Boston and Europe. Warn
! ing of its presence was Immediately
send by radio broadcast by the
| photographic Office of the navy de-
| partment to all mariners.
The vessel. one Of the 5000 which
| furnish such information to the by
| geographic Office, which reported
the mine gave its position as latitude
! 40 degrees Is minutes west, longi-
| tude 80 degrees Sc minutes north.
, The location is south of the Grand
Banks and west of the junction at
sea where ships bound from Europe
to Boston leave the track of the
Europe New York liners and bear
, almost due west into port.
| Since January /, 1921, eight float
| ing mines which drifted from the re-
naming mine fields of the war over
seas have been definitely reported to
| the photographic Office in the north
| Atlantic area Immediately off the
American coast. During the same
| period two mines We're reported off
!
coast.
There were reported and chartcd
by the photographic service from
January /, 1921, to March 90, 1922,
no fewer than 121 floating mines,
while six additional mines were re-
ported before the 1921 date. Twenty
seven of them were in the high
seas area" and the remainder iether
off the American coast. in the Azores
area, the European area, the Baltic
or the Mediterranean.
The extent of this post war men,
ace to shipping was brought out in
recent correspondence between the
photographic office and a New Eng
land shipper, who had written to
learn what ground there was for the
continuing by marine insurance
companies of rates based on the
danger of floating mines. An insur-
ance company later asked for de-
tailed information as to the distri-
button of the mines observed and re-
ported and was informed that 70
mines or sos percent of the total
for all waters were in the European
area, 50 of them being located in the
regian described as north of As de-
grees. north; east of Is degrees
west"
1T must be remembered" the hy-
geographic Office informed the in
surance company, that this letter
does not purport to cover all mines
adrift, but only those actually OBJ
served and reported to this office"
In cooperation with the interna-
tional mine clearing committee in
London, the photographic service
furnishes regular mine warnings and
charts to all mariners leaving Amer
lean ports. Theses how that vast
mine areas of the war are still I'M
swept and mines that break loose
drift into the channels of steamship
traffic, occasional destruction of yes
sells from this cause being reported.
Navy officers believe it will be years
before the danger is wholly passed
or until the action of salt water has
finally destroyed the mines.
