the time, one handling each end

damages as a result of damaging of
Its airplane on February OF this

towed by a truck to Central park
for the purpose OF advertising Com
mander Richard Evelyn Byrd's lee
ture at the Strand theater. In hand
ing down the decision, Judge SAKE
found that the accident most like
iy was due to unwatchfulnese on the
part of the defendant company
agent, who operated the machine
which struck the wing of the plane
. The judge however could not find
suitlclent reason to favor the plain.
tiff with a decision to recover rem
tai money for the plane, which the
plaintiff claimed could not be used
for period of eight days after the
accident. 1t is probable that either
party will appeal the decision to a
higher court Judge SAKE based his
decision on the following findings;
1T seems that the plane was
brought here as an advertisement
Tor a lecture TO be delivered BY
Commander Richard F.. Byrd at d
local theater. and was to be station
ed at Central park. The plane had
first been landed on st. Mary's field
and from that point was attached
to truck and towed through the
streets of New Britain to the cor
ner OF Elm and Chestnut streets and
then down Chestnut to Main street
and was proceeding north on Main
street to a point almost opposite
Strand theater when it was struck
by a machine travelling south on
the same highway owned by the de-
fendant and operated by Lawrence
nWln, at that time in the employ
of the defendant company.
The wings of the said truck
protruded on both sides of the true X
and the truck with plane attached
was proceeding slowly at about Z
o'clock in the evening when the
collision occurred. There was no
light upon the wings Of the plane
but 1t was very light at that point
and two police officers were walking
ahead of said plane to warn auto
mobiles away from that section, and
it was testified 10 that they shouted
to Cnwin as his car was approaching
the plane. Mr.. Irwin claims that
he did not near any warning and
did not see the plane until it was
too late for him to have avoided
the collision.

Released in Bonds of
$4,000 for Trial

New York. Aug. ! P'-William ].
so-called Albany Baseball Pool, in
federal court today pleaded not
guilty to two indictments charging
conspiracy and use of the mails to
promote lottery. The case was
continued in $4,000 bail for trial
tentatively fixed for August 20.
Pringle appeared in court with
two lawyers, Harold II. Corbin Of
New York and Joseph l.. Delaney of
Albany. Federal Attorney Cooke
suggested August 13 as trial date.
but Corbin protested asking for
time to prepare Pringle's case.
Corbin said Pringle had been re-
moved from Albany. where his bond
OF s95,o00 was set by federal COM
missioner. only as to the second IN
dictment which charges violation.of
section of the federal criminal
code prohibiting use of the mails in
the promotion of lottery or any
game of chance.
Conviction for violation of this
section carries a penalty of one
years Imprisonment and a maxi
mum fine of $1,000. Corbin said
later that conspiracy to violate a
federal criminal law which is
charged in the other Indictment is
punishable by two years imprison-
ment and a $1,000 fine.
Corbin demurred to both indict-
ments on the ground that neither
set forth any crime alleged to have
been committed in this district of
New York. and insisted that the
courts in this district had no juris-
diction.
