The remaining launches are capable

Stories Told by Officers

Weird running adventures OF the
more or less good ship Korona, now
held by the Spanish government in the
harbor of Cadiz, are to be narrated in
detail from the witness stand in Fed
eral court at some time in the near
Francis A. McGurk, Assistant District
Attorney, who, with the Customs Office
has been Investigating the vessels ac-
tivities and persons charged with re-
onsibility for them.
According to evidence in the pos
session of Mr.. McGurk, substantiated d
in part by q letter written by four
Of the ships officers, from Cadiz, the
Korona, which was placed under Peru
Wan registry by her owners, the Globe
Line, formerly of $50 Broadway, sailed
from New York Harbor last March
under false clearance papers, pre-
sumably bound for Greece, but in re-
alty for Block Island, where, it is
alleged, between $5OO000 and 100000
worth of export alcohol was unloaded
on waiting barges.
Then, it is charged, the vessel pro-
ceeded to Bermuda, where she re-
mained month for repairs, took on
a cargo of whisky, and returned to
Block Island for a repetition Of spirits
smuggling.
Policemen Accused as Aids
Throughout the proceedings, it was
charged in the letter from Cadiz, there
ran tale Of dark high-sea doings, be-
ginning with hard-boiled gunmen de-
clared to have stood over the ships
officers with pistols and forced them to
smuggle energetically, if not cheer
fully, and ending with various mem
bers of the crew stranded without
funds on foreign shores, and with no
wages in sight.
But perhaps the most interesting part
of the narrative to New Workers was
the following excerpt from the letter
from Cadiz:
'"The alcohol, we have been advised,
was landed in Newtown Creek section
and that eighteen uniformed policemen
discarded their coats and caps to help
in the transfer of the alcohol from the
barges to the waiting motor trucks"

car. The bullet that killed the clergy
man entered his head about three
inches above the rear Of his ear and
emerged at his chin.
Mrs. Harry McCabe, wife of the
tender of landing bridge. has said
and her story has not been shaken
that she heard woman's voice, shrill,
urgent, talking rapidly. simultaneously
she heard another woman crying, at
times bitterly. Then the cries merged
IN scream that ended abruptly.
Mrs. Estelle Jones, who also lives in
George Street in a house fronting on
the narrowly separated canal and the
river, heard the screams, and short
time later heard two automobiles rae
ing madly along Easton Avenue past
the Phillips place, heard them slow up
for the narrow, twisting landing bridge
and then sweep past her house in
George Street and on to the campus
Of Rutgers.
Puzzled by State of Bodies
The Investigators are asking them
selves who might have felt impelled
to arrange the clothing of the two
victims, laying their bodies side by
side and covering their faces with hat
and scarf. DR.. Halls spectscl cles were
in place as though he had adjusted
them just before lying down. But the
