MRS. POTTER
MAY TESTIFY
ON TUESDAY
Defendants Wife, III in Hospi.
tai, Expected to Be Star
Witness
WITNESSED SHOOTING
Witnesses Yesterday Say That
Potter Had Been Drinking
Oct. p

The trial of Raymond E. Potter on
a charge of first degree murder in
connection with the fatal shooting of
Oliver Webb, October q, was de-
clared in recess until 2 p. m. next
Tuesday by Judge James A. Coffey
shortly after p. m. yesterday.
Scott Cameron, defense attorney,
asked the court to recess the trial
until Mrs. Potter, wife Of the de-
fendant, was sufficiently recovered
from an illness which is keeping her
in hospital to testify in court. He
said that the defense and prosecut-
ing attorneys had agreed that the
recess asked for would be fair to
both the state and the defendant in
view of the circumstances.
He said that the trial had pro-
gressed much more quickly than the
defendant had expected, that Mrs.
Potter did not have pneumonia as
was at first believed, that she would
be able to testify Monday, Tuesday,
or Wednesday, and that a recess
would not make any extra expense to
the county, though it might delay
the term a day or two.
John Sullivan. assistant prosccut-
ing attorney, said that the prosecu-
tors had entered into a stipulation
with the defense counsel in an effort
to give the defendant every reason
able chance to prove his innocence.
Is Important Witness
Mrs. Potter is expected to be the
most important witness for the de-
fense.
After the defense had unsuccess-
fully attempted to have the case dis
missed on the grounds that the state
had not proved that the shooting was
not an accident when the court op-
ened yesterday afternoon, Cameron
outlined the plan Of defense to the
jury. He said that the testimony
would show that Potter did not will
fully shoot Webb and that he had no
intention Of harming him. Cameron
said that testimony would prove that
Potter carried the gun from the
house at the time of the shooting
with the idea of putting it in the
automobile preparing for a hunting
trip.
Six witnesses then took the stand
for the defense: Dave Mcdonald, who
had drawn a map Of the Potter res
idence vicinity and testified as to
the distances of the house to the

night locked up in = Miami hotel, re.
sumed their deliberations today in

KLBTT ACTION
IS POSTPONED
UNTIL MONDAY
Federal Case of $4,000 Dam.
age Suit Ready for Jury
Yesterday Afternoon
SHOW MAN ON STAND
Identification of Carter's As
sailant Confused After
Testimony

The Klett $4,000 damage suit in
federal court reached the stage of
going to the jury, Friday afternoon,
the plaintiff having closed his side
Thursday evening, while the defense
concluded about 5 o'clock Friday af-
ternoon. Judge Miller excused the
jury until 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing.
Mrs. Engesser, Friday afternoon,
concluded her story of the fight at
the Medina show grounds. She testi-
fled that it was hamburger vender,
a man named Cooper, who struck
Klett the blow that put him in the
jamestown hospital for II days. He
used broken half of a two-by-four
used to bar the door of the ticket
wagon, she testified.
c. R. Harding, show manager, al
so took the stand, but beyond devel-
oping the claim that Cooper-ad-
mitted to have beaten Klett-was an
outsider, merely following the show
with his hamburger concession, he
added little to the story unfolded Of
the fight.
The cross-examination tended to
stress the fact that Harding had
walked away from the double fight
under way at the ticket wagon and
had gone into the big top to start the
program.
The defense called Tiger McCue, of
MankatO, Minn., to testify that he
had not had a fight with A. E.
Carter, as the latter had testified
Thursday. He said he was in cadet
gray uniform and was handling a
pony act in the main top at the time
of the fight. Carter had described
his assailant as in a black sweater.
McCue admitted he had a black
sweater which he wore when idling
around the grounds.
David RAIDER, San Francisco, who,
it was testified, walked out Of tho
entrance marquee in time to be
knocked over the ropes by blow
in the eye, said he was an ad So
licitor on his own hook, splitting his
receipts with Engesser. His ads
were placed on banners on the ele-
plants and camels and on the big
top tent ropes. His testimony was
intended to prove he was no circus
employe, and that in the fight he
had been one of the victims and not
q hostile participant or aggressor.
J. r. Mason, the deputy sheriff
called from jamestown by Harding
and Engesser, following the fight,
testified that Carter could not identi-
fy Tiger McCue an his assailant the
evening after the several fights on
the show grounds.

NARCOTIC RING I
WAS FINANCED
BY R0THSTEIN
Dead Gamblers Papers and
Trunks Reveal $4,000, 900 in
Illicit Drugs.
WOMAN AGENT ARRESTED
Enough Dope Seized to Create
Crime Enough to Fill Sing
Sing

New York, Dec. g. (AP) In.
spection of the business files Of Ar
mold Rothstein, slain gambler, by
federal agents investigating the ac-
tivities of an international narcotic
syndicate has resulted in the arrest
Of man in Buffalo, a woman in
Chicago, and seizure Of three trunks
full Of narcotics.
The man arrested in Buffalo,
taken from an express train as he
was taking two Of the trunks to
Chicago, is known in the underworld
as Joseph Klein, federal officials
announced today. But his real name
is Joseph Unger. The woman arr
rested in Chicago is Mrs. June Boyd.
The narcotics seized here had an
estimated value of $2,OOO,OOO.
The arrest of Mrs. Boyd was the
result of information from narcotic
agents here that Unger, while stay
ing at a hotel here, called Mrs. Boyd
in Chicago on the telephone. The
Rothstein files had already started
agents looking for Unger and so
federal agents in Chicago were
asked to look up Mrs. Boyd. When
they did they found the trunks Of
narcotics.
The telephone conversation be.
tween Unger and Mrs. Boyd
though how it was heard United
States Attorney Tuttle would not
say-was as follows:
Unger-"Have you delivered that
package, June ?"
Mrs. Boyd-"No."
Tuttle, who will start a grand
jury investigation Monday which he
expects to result in "quite a lot" Of
indictments, issued the following
statement after announcing the ar
rest of Unger and Mrs. Boyd and
the seizing of the three trunks.
"As the result of our efforts last
night here, in Buffalo and Chicago.
enough dope has been taken to Gre
ate crime enough to fill Sing Sing
and to create mental disorders suf-
ficient to fill all our state hospitals
for the mentally defective"
The cache was found in an apart
ment in the fashionable North Shore
section where government narcotic
squad was directed on information
telephoned last night from investi-
gators at Buffalo.
Two suitcases containing nearly
100 ounces of morphine and cocaine
were in closet and in another room
was a trunk containing so ounces
more.
The federal agents believed the
31-year-old woman was the Chicago
agent of the illicit drug syndicate
and that her husband was connected
with its New York office. She was
held pending orders from the New.
York government headquarters. s,
This seizure" said u. S. Attor.
ney Tuttle, "is very large fraction
of the narcotic supply of the biggest
narcotic ring in the United States.
The papers we have seized and other
evidence in our possession indicate
that Arnold Rothstein had to do
with financing this ring.
1T is not improbable that IN ex-
animation Of the Rothstein papers
which we have seized and of other
files which we were examining when
they were taken over by the county
district attorney, may throw import
ant light on the motives and circum.
stances Of Rothstein's murder" s.

THINK AVIATRIX
SET NEW PLANE
ALTITUDE MARK
Altimeter Reads 25,4OO Feet
After Hours Climb Into
Rarefied Air

Oakland, Calf, Dec. s.-(AP)-
Whether Mrs. Louise McPhetridge
Thaden, aviatrix and wife of an
Oakland airplane manager, has es-
tablished new airplane altitude
record for women-25, 400 feet
seems today to depend upon which Of
her three height measuring instru-
ments is adjudged to be correct.
Mrs. Thaden harnessed herself to
an oxygen tank, stepped into q BIZ
plane owned by d. G. Warren Of
Oakland and climbed heavenward for
about an hour yesterday afternoon.
When she descended one Of her al
timeters registered at 25,4O0 feet,
the othe.. said 23,1OO feet, and q
barograph, read through the sealed
opening, showed 22,1OO feet.
Both Mrs. Thaden and Leo S.
Nagle, president Of the Oakland
chapter Of the National Aeronauti-
cal association, were confident that
a celebration Of the barograph would
show that q new record had been
set. The present record, 24,9OO feet,
is held by Lady Heath Of England.
1T really wasn't a very difficult
flight" said Mrs. Thaden. 1T was
awfully cold, though. II first used
the oxygen when my head began to
feel light at $4,000 feet. The ap-
paratus didn't work properly, but by
the time ! was 1900 feet up I got
fhe hang of it and the oxygen re-
freshed me considerably.
"At 10000 feet ! felt awfully
bad. My head was roaring and
couldn't seem to move the controls.
I thought / would have to come
down, but at $4,000 feet I took an.
other draught of oxygen and felt
fine. From then on everything was
wonderful"

Motor Stalls Over Wooded
Mountain; Pilot Wrecks
Ship in Descent

EDITORS NOTE: This is
the third of a series describing
the dangers faced by airmail
pilots, written around the career
Of Major Wesley L. Smith. SUI
perintendent of the airmail serv-
ice on the New York Chicago
division, and = mail flyer since
1919.
Difficulty in following the dan.
gerous airmail course is only part o1
the troubles of the airmail pilots who
must keep the mail moving day and
night.
Motor trouble over the mountains
is what they fear most; that and
the treacherous line storms which
sweep over the east. Sometimes
there are other dangers they know
nothing Of.
One of the greatest pieces of good
luck Wesley l.. Smith, veteran mail
pilot and now superintendent of the
eastern division Of the National Air
Transport Company, ever had was
on July 6, 1921, while flying west
from New York.
The weather ahead was thick as
soup and for three hours he flew
blindly through. it. After that the
fog broke and he could see below
heavily wooded territory, without
q sign of habitation. He knew he
was north of his course.
Just Misses Dynamite
Striking south for Is minutes he
finally espied field which looked
safe for landing, lost it several
times in the fog as he circled low
er and then brought his plane down,
ripping through q field of barley,
He found he was in the first clear
ing west Of the Bellfonte, Pa, field.
"As ! took off again q farmer
came running from house." Smith
recalled. HE waved at me.
thought he was worried about his
crops, so kept going.
THE next day or 50 We had q
letter at the field in which the
farmer complained that his barley
had been damaged and asked for
settlement.
$50 the next Sunday / flew over
to his clearing with one Of the Of
ficials of the field. AS we came
down for . landing could see his
barley had Strengthened up again
and had suffered little, IL any, dam.
age. The farmer greeted US as we
landed.
"sYour barley doesn't look as il
it had suffered much damage"
told him. He admitted It
II wasn't worried 50 much about
the barley as for you,' he replied
Then he took ,.s out to the field and
| pointed to . stump, hidden away
among the tall stalks.
There are three sticks Of dyna.
mite in that stump he told me. q
was getting ready to blow it up
When you took of the other da,
you missed it by about six inches.
Stalls Over Mountain
On another occasion, while trying
to squeeze his plane between thu
mountain tops and the low hanging
clouds, the Liberty motor in Smiths
plane quit with > stripped gear just
as he was passing over Snoeshot
Mountain, the first high peak wes1
Of Bellefonte.
As luck would have it, there wa,
