Defense Of the risks taken on trans

Marshal Sir Seton Branckner in Liv-

idle to talk of prohibiting the attempt.
You can no more prevent man from

BY the Associated Press
The growing sentiment in Govern
ment circles against transatlantic
stunt flyers probably will lead to the
recall of Lieut.. Lawrence w. Curtin,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-09-09

naval aviator, who was to have &C.
companied Rene Fonck on his pro-
jected New York-to- Paris flight.
The question of forbidding Curtin to
make the flight has been under dis
cussion here for several days. High
naval officials. including Assistant Sec
rotary Robinson, have publicly made
known their opposition to flights
which they said were unnecessary and
OF little value to aviation.
Lieut.. Curtin is now in New York
with Fonck, awaiting suitable weather
for the take-off for Paris. The plane
was tested several days ago in a
flight from New York to Washington
In ordering Curtin to desist, the
Navy would be taking the only con-
crete way open to it to discourage
such flights. inasmuch as there is no
law by which the flight could be stop
ped. The sentiment stirred up against
such risk of life. however. is known to
have disturbed officials here. and WAYS
have been canvassed by which tn"
situatio might be controlled

slant vigil at points which the plane
might pass in Ireland and England.
The afternoon papers print sugges-
tions from Canada, France and the
United States that transatlantic flights
should be discouraged. These are car
ried side by side with statements by
Charles A. Levine, who projects a
flight to America in his airplane Co

tic concept of the bridge approaches
and might not alleviate the traffic
situation to any worthwhile degree.
At the same time it is pointed out
that the broad plaza to be construct
ed between the end of the bridge
and the Lincoln Memorial will offer
ample room to handle traffic. while
traffic "whirlpoor' or circle might
be created to make all traffic travel
in one direction.
The problem, in so far as the
traffic is concerned, is one which
must be met five years hence, but
must be provided for now, since the
construction work hinges on dispo-
sition of the two schemes.

''Td better cut this out or the news.

Counsel for both defendants con-
ferred with them today. The final
plans were made for the struggle
to save them from the chair-a
struggle which will recall the hectic
court scenes Of the Thaw case and
the Hall-Mills murder trial.
But the present case will present
q new and unique angle. For,
while the defendants were accused
and indicted jointly and will be
tried together the two groups of
lawyers defending them plan
separate lines of defense.
There viii be a shifting of blame.
It is believed, despite Gray's state.
ment Thursday that he did not want
to accuse Mrs. Snyder of response
bility.
Dana Wallace and Edgar r. Halle.
ton. for Mrs. Snyder, and Samuel J.
Miller and William j. Willard, for
Gray, declared after court was adj
journed that they were delighted
with the jury" adding, that they felt
sure that a fair and honest verdict
would be returned. Prosecuting At
torney Newcombe expressed similar
sentiments.
There is no way Of estimating
the length of time the trial will
take. Court estimates vary from
one week to four. 1t is known that
both defendants will introduce many
character witnesses, and these will
consume much time.
HazeIton to Open Case
Newcome will open for the people,
and throughout the trial he will be
assisted by James Conroy, Peter
DAILY and Albert Froessel, assistant
district attorneys. Hazleton will open
the defense for Mrs. Snyder and
will examine her witnesses.
Wallace will make the summation
for her and cross-examine the States
witnesses. Willard is expected to
open for Gray and do the cross
examination. Miller probably will
examine Gray's witnesses and make
the summation for his client. The
plans Of Gray's lawyers are not yet
definite.
The jury was excused until Mon
day after having been admonished
not to discuss the case with any.

not to suffer anyone to talk about

OVER THE HILLS
AND FAR AWAY
GO THE CYPSIES

The gypsies are gone.
The last Of the Romany' tribe
disappeared over the hills in the
direction of San Diego early this
morning in obedience to the de-
mands of the city and county police
that they get out of the county at
once.
Mrs. Grofo Frank, 90, and Maria
John, 40, the two women members
Of the tribe, who were picked up
by city police, charged with telling
fortunes without first having OBJ
tanned a license, entered pleas of
guilty to the charges through their
attorneys, Alfred Blaisdell and Lee
Nuffer, yesterday afternoon. Judge
Perkins sentenced each of the de-
PENDANTS to pay fine of 500 and
ordered them to get out of town.
They paid the fines and departed.
The women had earlier in the day
pleaded not guilty to the charges
and had demanded jury trials.
There were many rumors about
the town yesterday relative to the
activities of the gypsy band while
in the valley. 1t was reported un-
officially from many sources that
they had "gvpped' business men
in both FL Centre and Calexico out
of considerable sums of money.

to have had mystic powers which
