SITUATION is QUIET

Waco, Tex, Feb. 1O.-Although there
was no demonstration last night indicat-
ing possible mob action against Ros
Mitchell, negro, who, county authorities
say, has signed written confessions to
five murders in this county during the
past year, the county jail continued un.
der guard today.
Texas rangers ordered here by Gov
ernor Neff will not come, according to
Sheriff Leslie Stegall, who said he had
countermanded his request for state Of.
ficers owing to the continued quiet situa,
ton.
No court action is expected against
Mitchell until March ., when the regu.
lar grand jury conyenes. He spent q
quiet night in his cell.
Two Negroes Convicted.
Meanwhile County Attorney c. S.

into the Staying at Concord, near here
in February, 1922, OF Mr.. and Mrs. W
II. Barber end i2tear-old boy.
HorcP Tufk.
mitchell says he committed this
crime, according to Mr.. Farmer, but
this alleged admission was not put in
writing because the prosecutor said he
gave il little credence, owing 10 the
fact that it was made after trying or
deal in which the negro detailed the
five murders TO which he signed separ-
ate confessions.
Two other negroes, whose conviction
for the Concord murders are now on an.
peal, confessed the crimes after their
arrest. but repudiated the confessions
at their trials, saying they signed the
statements under threats of violence.
Skipworth Sr. Will Not Forgive.
j.. A. SkipwUrth, father OF Grady,
called at the county Jail Friday TO
see Mitchell, charged with having shot
his son to death and then disposing
of his body by casting il over the cliff.
Mitchell begged Skipworth to forgive
him.
Skipworth, according to those with
him. looked the negro over closely and
shook his head
The appearance of Skipworth at the
negro's cell was perhaps the tensest one
of countless tense moments filled with
high interest following the night-long
admission of crime made by the pris-
oner to Sheriff Leslie Stegall and Coun-
ty Attorney Farmer.

Lieutenant Martin was flying in the
rear Of formation of De Hayilands,
all of which were heavily loaded with
bombs and machine guns and ammuni-
ton preparatory to attacking the
"enemy." He was only about 100 feet
above the ground when his ship sud
denly dove into the ground at 40
degree angle, striking the ground in
the north end of the field near the
Air intermediate Depot.
There was a big blaze as the ship
crashed. The field fire wagon and
ambulance, followed by a score Of
automobiles started toward the burning
plane. Spectators from the Air In
termediate Depot were the first to
reach the scene of the wreck, and said
that as they ran up, the flier in the
back seat. which was Sergeant
Grodecki, was calling for help.
Body Under Motor.
Water and chemicals were turned on
the flames as the fire truck arrived,
but it was several minutes before the
flames could be extinguished so that
soldiers could tear the burnt fragments
away and pull out the charred bodies.
\ The body of Sergeant Grodecki could
be seen sitting upright in his seat.
Lieutenant Martin was pinned under
the motor.
Before the body of Sergeant Grodecki
could be taken out il was necessary
to cut several wire supports that
pinned him in. When the flames were
sufficiently extinguished a rope was
tied to the burnt motor which had to
be pulled off before the body of Lieu
tenant Martin could be released The
bodies were placed in the field ambul-
ance and taken to the field hospital.
Cause Not Determined.
General Lewis and General Mitchell
fand practically all the officers who
were then on the field came to the
scene of the wreck and watched the
soldiers as they worked to put out the
fire and extricate the dead bodies from
the wreckage.
The exact cause of the crash Sat
nrday morning could not be stated
definitely.
