Shortly after 3 Commander Byrd
and his three associates appeared after
futile. efforts to sleep, and farewells
were said to relatives.
The wives of the three married mem
bers of the crew, Byrd, Acosta and
Neville, were at the hangar, smiling
and assured. Noville's father was there
and Byrd's brother, Thomas. There
were last words, kisses, the waving of
hands. And then the men who asked
no better fate than to risk their lives
in an effort to make the lives Of future
fliers less hazardous went out to the
plane, whose motors were roaring as
though impatient to be off.

smile was for plan which he had

HI. GeOhegen, announced that
had they been called upon to
deliver a verdict they would have
acquitted the actress.
A short time before the verdict
was returned Foreman H. E, Blink
ley told the judge that he wanted
some advice regarding circunlstantial
evidence.
Judge Burnell explained what evi-
dence was considered OF a circum
Stantial nature, but told the juror,
they, themselves would have TO de-
ternine what particular issues we're
to- be regarded as purely circum-
stantial.
A woman juror then arose and
asked:
"Supposing any one is opposed to
circunstantial evidence and would
not believe in it?"
Judge Burnell's voice rang sharply:
"If any juror does not believe in
circumstantial evidence they have
committed perjury and have no busi-
ness on this or any other jury
the judge declared. ANY Juror who
will not accept circumstantial eW-
dence has violated his or her OATH"
Judge Burnell then asked how the
vote stood and the foreman replied
that it was IL to l.
Since this indicated the jury fav-
ored conviction there was a stir in
the courtroom and some demonstra-
ton Miss Mackaye stared straight
ahead and gripped the arms of her
chair.
In twenty minutes. however, the
buzzer again rang and the jury filed
in with the verdict OF guilty.
Miss Helen wilkinson, the actress
devoted friend, was at her side when
the verdict was returned.
She broke down and Wept, as soon
as the jury entered the room.
Forewarned of the guilty verdict
Miss Mackaye braced herself in her
chair and with a natural color drain
ed from her rouged cheeks and lips
she appeared as a wax image sitting
stiffly at the side OF her attorneys
Once she heard the verdict the
actress termbled and her throat con-
vulsed. She appeared scarcely able
to sit upright. 4
Deputy District Attorneys Forrest
Murray and George Kemp, who pros
ecuted the case, declared they are
satisfied with the verdict and would
proceed with the trial of Dr. Walter
J. Sullivan, jointly indicted with Miss
Mackaye on July Is.
Tonight in the county jail, Miss
Nackaye apparently was resigned to
her fate. She was given rousing
welcome by the other women. Later
she was taken to the identification
bureau where her finger prints and
photograph were taken.

expression of sorrow that Miss Mac

ian aviator, to take-off on his Oak
land Honolulu slight yesterday pre-
cipitated battle today that threat
ened to take his sponsors into court
Edmund j. Moffett and Anthony
Parente, two of the three Smith
flight hackers, met at the Oakland
municipal airport this afternoon
where the little monoplane was sta
toned.
Parente told Moffett he wanted the
latter's contract because he, Parente,
was not satisfied with the way the
flight arrangements had been handled
under MOffett's guidance and that
hereafter Mr.. Parente would have
the last word.
Moffett refused to release his con-
tract saying he had an interest in
the ship.
Il put every cent into that ship
Parente declared.
"Well, have an interest in the
ship and can't tie it up,' Moffett
replied.
Yes, you've been playing me for
a chump," said Parente and then
the two drew away from newspaper
men to continue their discussion.
Smith arrived It the camp with
Parente and announced he had sur
rendered his contract to the latter
and that he still wanted to make the
flight.
"But I don't want to go off half
cooked like we did yesterday" the
pilot said. 'I want to go right"
Evidence of dissension between the
hackers, Moffett, Parente ard Roy
Wood, between the pilot and navigator
and the airmen and hackers showed
itself during the last. few hours in
which the plane was being prepared
for the flight
The discomfort fIared up after Carter
fatty refused to go on the flight when
he and Smith were forced to land from
Then Smith, after pleading with Car

cause his flight had failed.
Today Charles H. Carter, who was
Smiths navigator, appeared at the
camp, packed his navigator's instru-
mentS and after turning his contract
over to Moffett departed for home. He
was definitely through.
Five other men have applied for
Carter's place as navigator. Three men
wanted Smiths seat and were to talk
business with the hackers late this
afternoon when the fareup between

The radio beacon signals that were
to have guided them functioned only

No line of warShips stretched along
their course to radio directions and
to save them should disaster befall;
their plane would have floated only a
short time on the stormy waves.
But sustained by the knowledge of

on, and by their own stout courage,
they carried on, gaining their goal and
the glory that goes to brave accom-
lishment. Theirs was the longest

Maitland and Hegenberger were
tired and hungry when they arrived.
For nearly 26 hours they had driven
the great monoplane onward, cease
lessly vigilant and active. They hao
had nothing to eat, for the chicken
sandwiches and coffee supplied by
friends had become lost within the
