surprising to them if the final death
toll amounted to between 600 to 800
persons. Some of them insisted that
a number of victims were deyoured
by sharks as they struggled in the
water.
Members of the Mafalda'S crew OF
whom % we're aboard the Mosella
said that Capt. Simon Gull of the
italian liner went down with his
ship. Capt. Privat of the Mosella
said he was not sure of this as the
only thing he knew about it was
that he heard Capt. Gull giving or
ders on the bridge of the sinking
vessel a short time before it founder
ed
Capt Privat said, 'the scenes could
not have been more horrible than
they were, especially the screaming
in the midst of the wind and dark
ness from women and children help
less in the ocean waves"
The disaster was due, according to
Capt. Privat to the loss of pro-
peller in such way as to permit an
inflow of water, causing an explosion
of the boilers.
"I believe" he declared, "that it is
not exaggeration to say there were
400 dead"
Captain Privat's estimate of the lost
is not borne out by wireless reports
previously received from other rescue
vessels The other vessels tonight were
enroute to Rio Janeiro 200 miles or
more further from the scene of the
disaster than Bahia Wireless re-
ports from these vessels indicated that
all but 68 OF those aboard the Ma
falda had been saved. The survivors
brought into port by the Mosella
consisted of thirty passengers, two
ships officers and twenty members OF
the crew.
Most of the victims were first and
second class passengers, according to
survivors aboard the Mosella. They
declared that the last they saw of the
Mafalda's captain was when the YES
sci turned over and he shouted viva
Italia!" The survivors said that the
wireless operator also remained at his
post and went down with the ship
Just before the crash, according to
the survivors, the Mafalda was max
ing good speed and everyone was
enjoying the tropical sunset and COO
! breezes prior to dinner. Suddenly a
roar and a crash, followed by the
sound of rushing water in the bowels
of the ship, and then terrible eX-
plosion which blew aSunder the
beautiful saloons and state rooms OF

the laughter and fun into screams OF

Two Brothers Husbands Of
Dead Are Suspected OF
Brutal Crime

NEW ORLEANS, Oct Z, R-The
bodies of two. women, crudely dis
membered and packed into two un-
locked trunks, were found late to-
day in house in the old French
quarter.
I. Police believed the women were the
wives {of Henry and Joe Moity, bro
thers. Joe Moity was taken into Gus
tody late today, and police said they
would take him to the mortuary
where the bodies are being held, in
an effort to identify them. Efforts
to find Henry Moity and five child
ren belonging to the two famili
were unavailing.
The bodies of the women were
so mutilated that definite identifi-
cation was difficult.
The rooms in which they were
found had been occupied for several
weeks by the brothers and their fan1il-
les.
The women were murdered, police
said, with, huge sugar cane knife.
The weapon, sharp and with a two
foot blade, was found in one of the
trunks.
The heads of the bodies had been
severed and the legs crudely chopped
so that the remainder of the bodies
would fit tightly into the trunks.
"A bed in one of the rooms apparently
had been used for the gruesome
operation.
Neighbors said the women had re-
turned to their apartments late yes

Police believe the crime was COM
mitted during the early morning
hours, basing their belief upon a

REFRACTORY
Refuses to Tell Where
$23O,5OO in Liberty Bonds
Came From.
LATER
Court Will Determine
Whether Banker Must
Answer Question.

WASHINGTON Oct. 81 C19 - Flat
refusal to reveal the source Of the
$230,500 in liberty bonds, which bulk
so large i'll the Teapot Dome conspir-
acy trial, was made today in the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court by
the man the government contends can
furnish that information
He is M. T. Everhart, Pueblo, Colo,
banker, and son-in-law of Albert B.
Fall, who after visit to New York,
Washington and other eastern points,
returned to his home town with that
amount of bonds, which went into the
lock box held in the First National
Bank of Pueblo in Falls name.
Before Everhart was called to the
stand, the government had presented
to the jury evidence to show that the
bonds were used to pay off debts of
Fall, Everhart and Falls Tres Ritos
Cattle and Land company, The bonds
were received by Eyerhart after the
lease of Teapot Dome naval oil re-
serve to Harry F. Sinclair by the for
nler interior secretary.
AS was the case when nc was called
in the trial of the Teapot Dome civil
suit at Cheyenne, Everhart based his
refusal to answer on his constitutional
rights, contending that such testimony
might tend to incriminate him and
lead to his indictment on the very
same charge that Sinclair and Fall now
are facing before a jury of two women
and ten men.
Justice Siddons will determine later,
probably tomorrow, whether Everhart
will be required to tell from whom he
received the bonds. The government
contends that Harry F. Sinclair gave
the bonds to Fall as a part, at least,
of the consideration of the lease of
the Wyoming naval reserve.
Patiently nervous and extremely i'll
at ease, Everhart was q reluctant wit
ness from the first, and at one point
appeared on the verge of going to jail
for his refusal to answer previous
question as to whether he had met
Sinclair prior to February |, 1922
Justice Siddons directed him to an

4 decline to answer" Everhart
reiterated.
Charles A. Douglas Washington
attorney, appeared then for Everhart
and asked permission to advise the
witness. Justice Siddons refused, re-
marking that he had advised Everhart.
The witness then asked the steno-
grapher to repeat the question and
finally answered in the affirmative.
That eased the tension for the mo-
ment, but Everheart later refused to
answer another question and Justice
Siddonj directed him to do so.
Before coming to the source of the
liberty bonds, owen j. Roberts, of spe-
cial government counsel, carefully laid
the ground work for that question by
dragging from the witness the adj
missions that he had had no business
transactions with Sinclair; that he
never had been employed by the gov
eminent, and that he had nothing to
do with the negotiations for the lease
