TWO AMUNDSEN
PLANES START HOP
TO The NORTH POLE

New York, May 21-(AP)-The
North American Newspaper Alliance
announced this evening that it had
received a dispatch from Kings Bay,
Spitzburgen, stating that the two
flying boats of the Amundsen- Ellis
there at Sis this afternoon for the
North Pole. The dispatch says that
each plane carried three men.
The Amundsen expeditions at
tempt for the Pole is presumably
being carried out according to the
long considered and carefully de-
vised plans announced in an Associ-
ated Press dispatch from Oslow,
Norway, on May 5. These called for
one of the seaplanes making for the
Pole to be commanded by Captain
Roald Amundsen and the other by
Lincoln Ellsworth. the American en-
gineer and explorer.
1t was expected that, making
more than 80 miles an hour, the
Pole. which lies about $50 miles
away from Kings Bay. shAuld be
reached in about eight hours. THE
airplanes were to carry gasoline in
sufficient quantity for two hours
more than necessary for the entire
round trip from Spitzbergen to the
Pole.
The planes called for a landing at
the Pole, where it was expected OBJ
servations would be attempted to To-
cate the Poles exact position, this
operation requiring several hours.
1t was thought possibly the planes
might have to land several times
during the northward trip and back,
and that they might not return to
Spitzbergen for several days. The
arrangement announced was that the
pilot in one of the planes would be
Lieut.. Rieser Larsen, who would
have Amundsen as a passenger,
while the other plane would be pilot
ed by Oscar Omdal, with Ellsworth
as navigator.
1t was stated in the Oslow mes
sage that if it was not found pract-
cable to land at the Pole the aviators
planned to drop Norwegian flag in
the approximate vicinitr.

LITTLE CHANCE OF
JURY GETTING Maori
CASE THIS WEEK

New Haven, Conn, May o1-(AP)-
Possibilities that the case of Olympia
Maori, charged with shooting to death
John Bagnano. would go to the Jury
this week were eliminated late TODAY
when Judge Christopher L. Avery de-
cided to permit each side to consume
three hours in summing up the testi-
mony and in arguments.
In the last hour of the session AS
sistant States Attorney Clarence E.
Barton and Defense Attorney Koletsky
alternated in summing up the case.
Both sides will be allowed two and
half hours tomorrow Judge Avery
is expected to take at least two hours
in charging the jury and court attaches
said tonight that the case could not
possibly be placed in tho hands of the
jurors tomorrow.
Assistant States Attorney Barton
told the jurors that the murder of Bag
nario had been deliberate and premedi-
tated. He pointed out that at least
10 eye-witnesses had identified Miss
Maori as the slayer. He said that there
was no evidence to prove that the
shooting was an accident or by COM
pulsion, or that the accused girl was
in her teens, but of a woman almost
81 years of age as the record showed.
He called attention to the fact that
although the motive given by the de-
tense for the shooting was that Bag
nano would not support the child, Miss
Maori had never appealed to the courts
for aid.
Defense Attorney Koletsky in adj
dressing the jurors claimed that the
real motive for the shooting was the
habit of John Bagnano. This was the
habit to ruin good women. He wanted
this little, innocent, good girl. By
good means or foul he wanted to get
her."
He characterized some of the states
evidence as rotten and foul. said:
I'VE do not stand on the unwritten
law. We stand on the written law
the law of self-defense."

letsky's address.
