hands to keep them warm were these
men who wanted work, and the sound
of their voices floated back to shore
Justify over the ice. Midstream at last
and then suddenly the Linseed King
careened to one side, ground, it is be-
lieved, between huge cakes of ice with
hundreds of tons of other ice behind.
The frightened passengers scrambled
all to one side to right the craft and
lk a crazy pendulum the Linseed King
came back to normal and then listed to
the other side, over and over and over,
until water rushed over her gunwales
and she capsized.
About half of those in the cabin
were thrown into. the freezing water or
managed to run from the the COM
partment in time to jump. The other
half were trapped where they were and
death was at least merciful in that 1T
must have been quick.
AS the submerged launch floated
sluggishly among the grinding ice
fIoes, some of the freezing men clug
to it desperately while other climbed
with the cold water tapping over them.
The singing was turned to screams for
help now, but heard from shore the
screaming sounded not so different
form the shouts, of song and no one
paid attention. One lighter captain
who had watched the men off and
might have been able to aid them,
heard their cries, but only shrugged
as he moved closed to his cabin stove.

ing" he said later, land didn't even
so out of my cabin" SO it was almost
half an hour before the first rescue
boat reached the scene. But then they
came thick and fast; tugs and launches
and police fire boats.
Twenty -four poor half frozen men
were dragged on to tugs and thrawed
out in engine rooms while being
rushed to an emergency hospital
established at New York pier. From
there they were taken to hospitals.
CAPTAIN Rohweider was picked up
swimming strongly for the Jersey
shore and taken to Edgewater
Placed under a Doctors care the
captain was questioned a length By
EdgeWater police and then was sent
for by the Manhattan headquarters.
He refused to cross the river, how
ever, saying that he was suffering
acutely from submersion and further
questioning would have to wait
After the living had been cared for
the task began of recovering the
bodies of the dead. Three were found
ii the river at the scene of the acci-
dent.
The others were taken with hooks
from the cabin of the Linseed King,
where 1T was beached at 254th street
on the Bronx shore after being car
ricd upstream by the ice.
Crowds gathered on the shore,
some of them wives and mothers and
other loved ones of the men who had
sought their last job. One by one
the bodies were brought up and laid
on the icy shore until there were 27

men in the liquor business and the
breweries to contribute to this fund,
and that United States attorneys in
some places already had been ar
ranged with" to do the actual col
lecting.
All of this testimony said Senator
HefIin was read at a secret meeting
of the senate judiciary committee
last April when Boyles' nomination
for another term as district attorney
was pending. Boyles himself was
present, and according to the com
mittee record, he said at one point
that he had not said the things at
tributed to him. The district attor-
ney did say, however, according to
Senator Heflin, that he had asked
Jess Smith to help his candidate for
United States marshal.
80 Boyles was to get Jess Smith
to have his man appointed United
States marshal together in the loot
en- this rotten work.
II don't know whether it was
MELONS money or the governments
But 1 know S3,O0O,O0O was brought in
and Jess Smith was assigned to get
the other $2,O0O,0OO."
Senator Heflin said he made these
statements because he had heard that
he would receive a request from
District Attorney Buckner of New
York for evidence to. bear out his
charge that Smith was murdered.
He continued:
This is one of the reasons why
they wanted to get rid of Smith. L
stated here the other day that Jess
Smith knew more than anybody else
connected with the department of
justice of the high handed work of
Mr.. Daugherty and that the reason
for getting rid of him was a very
strong one.
1--WE were conducting here a gem
eral investigation of the whole thing
1t was rumored also that Jess Smith
grew exceedingly nervous over it
and that he had made mp his mind
to make clean breast of it all. But
Jess Smith never lived to make that
clean breast. He was murdered"
The jury that acquitted Albert b.
Fall and Edward l.. Doheny in the
oil conspiracy case here was de-
scribed by Senator Hefln as "a COL
lection of dice shooters and card
players" and he suggested that the

suggestions that his wife might
have committed suicide. She had
threatened to end her life on sew
eraI occasions, he said, but he felt
sure she would never carry out such
a threat.
Expressing confidence that once he
got home again he would find his
wife awaiting him, Houck said she
probably was with friends some
where.
Although baffled in their attempts
to get some line on Mrs. Houck's
movements after her disappearance,
police generally were of the opinion
that she. was murdered. This belief
was strengthened by finding of some
of the woman's night clothes in
tox of trash on back porch of the
Houck home, but it was established
late today that stains on the gar
ments were not from blood.
Relatives of the missing woman
also were insistent in their belief
that she is dead They secuted the
theory that she might have ended
her life or had run away from home.
She would not have gone away, they
said, leaving behind three-year-olG
son in the house.
Houck won honors at Northwest
ern university, studied for a while
under the famous Mayo brothers at
Rochester, Mimi, and was con-
sidered by heads at st. Elizabeths
hospital as one of the most prom
ising psychiatrists in the country.
