Mrs. Rl1inelandeg : Lawyer
Forces Scion to- Talk Of
WHes Color

WHITE PLAINS, Nj. X, Nov.
1s.-Leonard Kip RhineIander,
who is seeking to have annulled
his marriage to Alice Beatrice
Jones, negro cab drivers daugh-
ter, admitted on the witness stand
before jury in supreme court
today that his wife's body is
Every dark"
Mrs. Rhinelander's counsel, Lee
Parsons Davis, seemed satisfied
with this admission.
The wealthy Rhinelander had
alleged his wife deceived him as
to her color before they were
secretly married on October Ia.
Crowds Arrive Early
AS on previous days, when RhiIIe.
lander was on the stand. the court
room was packed to the doors.
An hour before the doors were
thrown open, it was necessary for
attendants to establish a dead line
ten feet from the courtroom en-.
france, to hold back the huge crowd
Of blacks and whites that sought
to battle their way in.
Davis regarded Rhinelander grim.
ly as he launched into his merciless
croSs-examination. After asking
Rhinelander where he had spent
the night and If he had discussed
the trial with anyone besides his
counsel and receiving q negative
answer, Mrs. Rhinelander's attorney
bluntly demanded:
What Is the color OF your wlfe's
body?"
Rhinelander previously had told
on the stand Of his pre.marital
intimacies with his sweetheart.
Makes Comparison
Dark" replied Rhinelander, after
ffdgeting around a bit.
How dark?" Davis followed up.
How dark?" the attorney
shouted.
1T isn't any darker than the
arms Of some women / saw in
Havana" Rhinelander explained.
Rhinelander's counsel, Isaac n.
Mills, who is somewhat deaf, now
and then cupped his hand to his
ear to better hear the torrent of
questions.
''All this time" Davis resumed

There was a pause, and a. Gran

In response to questions, Rhine
lander admitted he knew a. man

frequently drove him to Alice's
home and to other places.

Flossie didn't answer at once.
Instead, she picked up the vanity

UNSAFE E
EXPERT
SAYS
Captain Heinsl1 Scores Valve
Reduction on Shenandoah
at Mitchell Trial
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
The Shenandoah, the navy's
daughter of the stars" was sent
on its last voyage into the middle
West while in an unsafe condi-
ton due 10 reduction of valves,
Anton Heinen, famous German
aeronautical expert told the jury
of generals today at the court
martial of Colonel William Nit
chell.
Testifying as defense witness
in support of MitchelPs charge
against the administration of avn
alton, Heinen declared the safety
valves on the Shenandoah were
reduced from eighteen to eight
before the trial flight.
Safety Reduced to Zero
sHThat reduced the safety Of the
ship from 100 per cent to zero" said
Heinen:
Automatic safety valves, Heinen
said, were the very life Of rigid
airships.
The safety valves, Heinen ex-
planned. were necessary because the
Shenandoah, carrying 100000 cubic
feet of gas, expanded 10000 cubic
feet in the first $40 feet OF ascent.
Unless this gas escaped through the
safety valves, the airship would
burst.
"CouId the volume of expanding
gas in the Shenandoah escape fast
enough with the number OF valves
she had, il she rose rapidly?'
Heinen was asked.
Absolutely not" said the Ger
man inventor.
Backs Up Mitchell
Mitchell called the German expert
in order to lend strength to his
charges of the almost criminal
stupidity and amateur bungling'
of the air service by the Navy ano
War Departments. If he can prove
there was "bungling" he proves alsn
justification of mis- charges.
On cross-examtnation, Heineu re-
| peated his charges that the Shen
andoah was unsafe.
"If / had known this chat the
| valves had been removed Hetnen
/ said earnestly, everybody would
have known it. 1 would have kicked
UP a hell of a row."
The German inventor was put Oh
the defensive once when Major Allen
Guillion, assistant trial judge advo
cate. asked him how he lost his

Germany.

planned. that if Germany signed the
