12.-Lee Mason and William Brooks.
United States citizens. who have been
employed by the Conservative govern
ment as aviators. today denied charges
by the Liberals that their bombing
of China daga during the recent bat
tie there had caused the, deaths of

Brooks declared that after his plane
had been hit by bullets during two
scouting flights, he carried three
small explosive packages-bombs by
courtesy" He said that he dropped
one on an open field near tfladelfia,
causing the Liberals to retreat into
Chinandaga; the second near Calvary
Church, where the Liberals then had
their headquarters, causing the evacu-

Mason said that he had directed
machine gun fire from his plane solely

Y, April 10. The tedious task
of examining prospective jury
men was resumed today, the
second day az the trial of Mrs.
Ruth Brown snyder and Henry
Judd Gray for the murder Of
Albert Snyder, the woman's
husband.
Twelve more talesmen were
summoned to the jury box
when court was called to order
this morning by Justice Town
send Scudder. Fifty talesmen
were examined yesterday and
none accepted.
Faced with the prospect Of
long drawn out battle to obtain
jury, Justice Scudder made a plea
at the opening of court that spe-
cial efforts be made to fill the
jury box before the panel is ex-
hausted.
Never in the history of Queens
county" said Judge Scudder, has
it been necessary to swear in q
special panel or seek q new jury
list"
Examination of taleEmen was
then resumed, and in rapid success.
