MURDER THEORY
STRENGTHENED BY
LATER EVIDENCE
By United Press Leased Wire

SANTA CRUZ, Oct. An inn
portant new bit of evidence has
greatly strengthened the murder
theory in the investigation of the
death of Mrs. Cora Mead, Sheriff n.
+. Sinnott announced today.
Sinnott declined to reveal the
nature of the evidence, saying 1t
would be turned over directly to
Edward O. Heinrich, Berkeley
eriminologist, when he reaches Santa
Cruz.
Heinrich has been called in to
aid local authorities in attempt
ing to clear up the mystery sur
rounding the shooting of Mrs. Mead,
estranged wife of wealthy Chi
cago bicycle manufacturer.
L. A. Thornewill, who lived with
Mrs. Mead here for seven years as
her husband, retained Harry |.
Stafford San Francisco attorney,
after he was taken into custody on
an open charge Saturday.
Sheriff Sinnott received from },
H. Boden, chemist, a report say.
ing a cluster of hair found clutched
/ in the dead woman's hand bore =
strong resemblance to that from
Thornewill' $ head.
He said it had also been proven
conclusively that Mrs. Mead was
shot from behind. The position OF
the gun must have been such that
it would have been practically i'm
possible for her to hold the weapon
herself, he said.
A further fact strengthening the
murder theory was that Mrs. Mead :
feet were crossed when her body was
found on the floor of her kitchen
in such manner that authorities
! believed the body was moved after
she was shot.
Thornewill, under further quest.
ioning, clung to his original version
of his visit to Mrs. Mead on the
/ night she met her death.
He said he spent some time at her
home, and that she begged him tC
come back to her. He refused, hC
said, and in frenzy of desperation
she struggled with him and ran
screaming up the road after him
when he broke away and left in his
auto.

SMITH RECEIVES
WARM WELCOME
AT ROCHESTER
Crowds Greet Democratic
Leader on Return From
Western Trip
By THOMAS L. STOKES
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

ROCHESTER,, y. Y, Oct. L.
Rochester turned out in droves to-
day, with brass band and all the
trappings, to welcome Governor Al
fred r.. Smith home TO New York
state from his travels in the west.
The Democratic candidate was met
at the station by cheering mob and
headed Il parade through the city
to the Hotel Seneca. The special
train arrived from the west at
$3.50.
Gov. Smith went into conference
Immediately with state leaders of
the Democratic convention to select
a candidate for the gubernatOrial
nomination TO oppose Albert Citing
cr, whom the Republicans nomin-
ated.
The Democratic candidate will
address the convention tonight over
a national hookup. He is expected to
digress from the state situation after
an appeal to Democrats to rally for
the battle to hold New York state
in line behind him, and speak on
national issues.
Candidate Satisfied
Smith got Il warm response when
he waved his grey fedora, which
displaced the brown derby he gave
away, TO the crowds along the street
Of this Republican stronghold. The
New York governor has carried this
city twice and Monroe county once.
Smith returned highly satisfied
over his western campaign. 81 think
| have talked pretty plainly on the
issues that ! took up, and the talks
were very effective,' he said.
"I judge that by the large mum
bers of kilograms that keep follow
ing this train and by what | hear
from the people listening in on the
radio.
"'I think the people of this coun-
try are fed up on set speeches with
meaningless phrases. There is nc
doubt about that.
81 think it is an innovation to
them to talk right out, talk plainly
and give them, as | put it at St
Paul, the low down on the situa
tion. They never get that in set
speeches.

HOOVER PLANS
TO REDUCE HIS
CAMPAIGN TALKS
Only Five More Speeches
Called For BY Tentative
Schedule.
BY PAUL r. MALIION
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. Herbert
Hoover has pruned down the ambi-
tious plans of his leaders for an
extensive campaign speaking tour
and has tentatively adopted sehed-
ule calling for five more speeches
before election day.
The schedule as it has been work
cd out so far would provide the fol-
lowing engagements:
Oct. Elizabethton, Tenn.
Oct. 13--New York City.
Oct. 25-Boston.
Nov. 3-A speech in the midwest,
probably at Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Kansas City or Omaha.
Nov. 5-Palo Alto, his California
home, election eve, to be broadcast
over q national network.
To Make Final Appeal
Additions or changes may be
made in the program before it is an
nounced officially, but Hoover be
lieves the tentative schedule will
sufficiently take care of the ground
he must cover before election in view
of the political situation as it now
stands.
His Elizabethton speech will aid
the strenuous efforts of his man
ayers to carry the home state of his
Democratic opponent. The Boston
address will be the last appeal in the
east, two weeks before election, and
at a point where many Republican
leaders now believe their troubles
are most acute.
The Nov. 3 speech in a midwest
crn city would be designed to memo
any farm fences which may have
been broken down by the Demo
Gratis since Hoover's Iowa farm
speech.
The Palo Alto address of course
would be the final appeal to th'
voters, tlie night before they go t
the polls to decide the issue
Hoover believes now no othe
speeches will be necessary or ad
visable

RIVERSIDE, Calf, Oct. IA
report that plan was underfoot to
kidnap Sanford Clark, chief witness
in the Northcott murder farm
case, today caused Sheriff clem
Sweeters to order a special "a hour
guard be kept over the youth.
Officials generally discredited
the report, lacking an authentic
source, but Sweeters said the situa-
tion was "sueh that all precautions
must be taken"
Earlier Sweeters ordered a guard
placed at the chicken ranch where
Clark claimed Gordon s. North
colt and his mother, Mrs. Sarah L.
Northcott, butchered four young Los
Angeles county boys.
Los Angeles and Riverside authori-
ties were to confer here late today
to decide whether murder indict-
ment should be sought in Los Ang-
cles county against Northcott in
connection with his asserted siay-
ing of an unidentified Mexican.
Northcott already has been i'm
dicted in Riverside county tor this
alleged murder but young Clark
told authorities the Mexican was
killed in Los Angeles although the
lead was taken to the farm for
burial.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-Correct.
ed papers for the extradition from
Canada of Gordon Northcott and
lis mother, Mrs. Sarah Louisa
Northcott, asserted murder farm
proprietors, were to be forwarded by
Riverside county officers to Sacra-
mento today.
After state officials approve them,
the documents will be sent to the
secretary of state at Washington
and thence to the dominion govern
ment. The original papers drawn by
the Riverside authorities were turn
ed back by state officials at Sacra-
mento.
Captain William Bright of the
Los Angeles sheriff's office an
nounced he would go before the Los
Angeles grand jury Wednesday seek
ing ans indictment against North
colt for the murder of an unidenti-
fled Mexican youth.
Captain Bright said he had a
very satisfactory case against
Northeott but explained Los Ang-
cles authorities would take no other
action except the Indictment until
Riverside authorities completed their
Investigations.
Northcott has been indicted for
four murders, including the staying
of the unidentified Mexican, and
bis mother for one by, the Riverside
grand jury.

WILKINS TEST FLIGHT
 YESTERDAY HEARD HERE

At 1:3O yesterday afternoon Cap- tain Wilkins and Lieutenant Eileson made another test flight in their plane at Fairbanks and from the time they left the ground until they landed Capt. Robt B. Woolverton, radio officer, U. S. Signal Corps, sat in his Seward headquarters and checked up on the flight.
 This was accomplished by pre-ar- rangement between Captains Wool verton and Wilkins. The latter, after taking off, closed the key on his set, which is so small and compact that it could easily be carried in a type writer case. The first message came shortly after as follows: Hello Fair banks! Hello Sewardl Greetings! KDZ. (These are the call letters of Captain Wilkins). At 2:3O Wilkins opened his key and signed again; 20 minutes later he evidently landed for tho whirring Ci tic plane could no longer be heard and it was judged he had landed at which time the motor would be shut off.
 The signals came in so strong that Captain Woolverton had Wilkins on the loud speaker all the time. To the uninitiated listener--The Gate way in this instance-the mysteries of the radio seemed uncanny. It was no effort at all to visualize the plane maneuvering. Once, Captain Wool verton casually remarked, He's nose diving now" How he knew it, even after he explained it, was all Greek to the dumb founded reporter.
