her testimony. We feel it is perth
nent to our whole defense"
The court decided she should be
heard.
Mrs. Lansdowne testified that
Captain Paul J. Foley, U. s. N,
Judge advocate OF the Shenandoah
inquiry board. sent her a statement,
containing false testimony which
he urged her to read when she APP
peared before the board.
The letter and statement she de-
stroyed, she said, and when she
appeared before the board she told
the truth.
Mrs. Lansdowne charged Foley
suggested she say that her hus-
band looked upon the Shenandoah
as a "man-of-war" and would not
take her on political flights" but
that Eat any time for military pur-
poses he was willing to go any
where, any time, with the Shenan-
doah, regardless Of weather condi-
TONS"
The letter also contained state
ments, praising Lansdowne's record,
which Foley suggested Mrs. Lans-
downe should read.
Reid asked her to repeat the
letter from memory. Moreland re-
newed his objections, but at last
she was allowed to- tell the con-
tents of the letter.
Visited BY Foley.
"How did you receive the letter."
I. "He sent me the paper through
the wife of high navy officer,
who is very close friend of mine"
said the widow, MRS. George W.
Steele, wife of the commander at
Lakehurst."

peared at the Shenandoah inquiry"
where was that?"
'At the home of my uncle, Doc.
street, Washington, D. c."
On cross denomination Moreland
questioned Mrs. Lansdowne closely
about this visit.
when did Captain Foley visit
your"

said, smiling. II testified before
the board October g."
Ibid he hand you the paper
then?"
mo sir, he sent it to me the
next day"
did the paper contain what you
had talked to Foley about?"
mo, sir, it was different
Denied Murder Story
Moreland then asked Mrs. Lans-
downe whether she had talked to
Captain Walter Gherardi, personal
aide to Secretary Wilbur.
'What denials did you issue
through Captain Gherardi?"
"I told him / had denied a news
paper report, in which l was quoted
as holding the Secretary Of the
Navy personally guilty Of my hus-
bands murder" said the widow.
II never said that, and / told Cap
tain Gherardi So
She told Of getting a news service
to carry her denial and that she
asked Gherardi to so inform Secre-
tary Wilbur.
Didn't you deny other state
ments attributed to you?"
mo, sir"
Didn't you say that you would
not for the world have il thought
that you would criticize the Secre-
tary of the Navy or the Navy De-
partment, because you knew your
husband would not want you to-"
Il did not"
Recalls Some Paragraphs
Mrs. Lansdowne said Foley's let
ter had three paragraphs.
1.-THE first paragraph" declared
the widow, said that when l first
issued a public statement / had in
tended only to protect my husbands
memory.
1T went on to say that since

then had changed my mind and
that 1 was perfectly willing to
leave it entirely in the hands Of
the board because I knew they
would protect my husbands inter-
ests."
The second paragraph, she added,
would have EIade her say her hus-
band was willing to take the
Shenandoah anywhere under any
weather conditions, IL it was on q
military flight. The last paragraph,
she said. expressed her thanks to
the court.
What was false in 1hat?"
1.-The main point was that my
husband was ready to take the
I Shenandoah On a military flight
to any place under any weather
conditions and regardless of land
THAT was false, 1T was an insult
to his memory"
Quotes FOIey's Words
Mrs LansdoWne also told Foley's
conversation with her" the night
before he sent her the letter.
He told me I had no right to
say that the taxpayers had no
right 10 see Lu6IT MIS-
Lansdowne testified. IT said 1t

and could not be done with the
Shenandoah, and they were so
stupid that it had to be proven to

will tell my story only to the
court"
She also said Foley tried to inn
press" her with the power OF the
court and had told her to tell
the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth
Then Moreland returned to how
she obtained the letter.
"It was given me by the wife OF
a naval officer"
What is her name?"
"I don't like to give It," the
widow protested.
IT insist" said Moreland and the
court nodded affirmation.
1T was Mrs. George w. Steele"
Mrs. Lansdowne was then ex-
cused and the generals, Mitchell and
counsel again arose as she walked
off the witness stand.
Major Raycroft Walsh, from the
office of the Chief of Air Service.
followed Mrs. Lansdowne.
The first question asked him, as
TO the amount of the army and
navy air estimate for 1925, created
a row.
Colonel Moreland objected on
the ground they were confidential.
hut Reid finally got into the rec
ord figures showing the army asked
for $24,5S2.000 and the navy for
$37 5000
This substantiated Mitchel's
charges that naval air apprOpri-
atoms exceeded the armys by mil
lions of dollars
When Reid tried to question
Walsh about the Panama Canal
maneuvers in 1924, Moreland raised
more objections. /
The subject was confidential,
nTade public.
1--WE will show" Reid retorted,
that the lessons learned at Pan
nma were entirely ignored at the
Hawaiian maneuvers. All this
bears upon Colonel Mitchell 6
charges against the administration
Of aviation"
The court overruled Moreland and
Walsh was permitted to testify.
Walsh said the Pacific fleet, act
ing as a defending force, was to
protect the Panama Canal against
the Atlantic fleet, acting as an
enemy.
1t was the purpose of the de-
Tense to prove that the recommen
dations of the army air service,
based on these maneuvers, were
rejected by the War Department
at the Hawaiian maneuvers.
