killing his wife and mother-in law
here February 25, returned verdict
of guilty of first degree murder al
3:48 this afternoon, after which Judge
Frank B. Gary sentenced Chandler to
die in TIE electric chair on April 2l.
1T is hoped that God will show
you more mercy than you showed your
vict:ms,' said the court in pronounc-
ing sentence on the convicted man.
"The evidence shows that you took
the lives of your victims in a most
heartlcss manner. You yet have time
to make peace with your Maker. May
God have mercy on your SOUL"
Only three witnesses were placed
on the stand before the arguments in
the case began today, and no testi-
r,ony Of any great Importance was de-
vcloped. The case was started last
Tuesday in criminal court here.
When sentence was passed upon
Chandler, who claimed insanity, a
smile lighted his pale face for the
first time since the trial began. The
smile then was faint and Of short du.
ration. Beside him stood his broth
cr, j. Arch Chandler, who has worked
faithfully and stood by him consist

LONE SURVIVOR
OF LOST BOAT

Miami, Fla, March 24.--A wireless;
message received here today from the
steamship William Greene said that
It had rescued Robert Moore, lone sur
vivor of the commercial flying boat
Miss Miami, lost since Wednesday,
noon, when it left here for Bimini.
The message gave no details of the
rescue or the trouble which overlook
the ill-fated plane. 1t is presumed by
alrmen who have taken part in the
two day search that engine trouble,
forced the Miss Miami down shortly
after she left here. Apparently it
drifted 100 miles or more to the north
in the gulf stream before sighted by
the William Greene, with Moore alone
managing to cling to what was left
of it.
News of the tragedy tonight halted
preparations for one of the greatest
air and water searches ever conducted
on the Atlantic coast. All day yestcr-
day and today planes and speed boats
had piled the Surrounding waters
without finding a,trace cf the craft.
The Miami Herald received the fol-
lowing wireless at 11:45 tonight:
"Pilot Moore has not fully recovered
from his experience He is gaining
strength slowly and will be able to
give details tomorrow.
"(Signed) WA. Wachsmuch,

According to the government radio
operator at Jupiter the master of the
William Greene who reports that he
picked up Pilot Moore of thu ,s,sing
seaplane, Miss Mimi, this affs noon
told him tonight hat Moore was so
weak from exposufe that he could not
relate his experiense.
The captain said be picked up Moore
at latitude 2737. north and longitude

According to the RASTER of the Will
