NAVAL COURT IS
PROBING CAUSE
SUB DISASTER

BOSTON, Jan. 6 tP-To save the
entire crew OF 40 OF the sunken sub
marine Sd, rather than to provide
six men in the torpedo room of the
vessel with little air, was the
first effort OF the navy salvage fleet
that gathered off Provincetown, on
December II, Lieutenant Commander
Edward Ellsberg asserted today. ELS
berg who. acted as salvage officer
in the S-4 operations for two weeks,
testified before the naval court of
inquiry investigating the disaster. He
occupied the witness stand almost
the entire day and presented de-
tense of the navy's rescue work,
carried on in rough seas and icy
tenaperatures where the S-4 went
down.
Answering questions as to why the
rescuers first did not attempt to
send air to the men known to be
alive, in the forward compartment
of the submarine, rather than blow
out the ballast tanks, Commander
Ellsberg said it was thought wiser
to try to save the entire crew rather
than relieve six men who were at
the time apparently in good con-
dition.
'There were no signals from the
submarine aft of the torpedo room, y
he said. cit was inferred that the
"a men in the aft compartments,
granting that these rooms were not
Hooded were unconscious. Had we
blown air into these compartments,
it would have driven out all or

DOCTOR, MURDER
SUSPECT, USES
HICKMAN'S PLEA

LOS ANGELES, Jan. G9-Dr.
Charles Mcmillan will make use OF
the new and little tried dual plea
of mot guilty" and mot guilty be-
cause of INSANITY" his attorney in
dicated today after the physician
was arraigned for the sack murder"
of Mrs. Amelia Appleby, wealthy
widow of Chicago inventor.
The dual pleas which comes under
the new and therefore little tested
California criminal law, was resorted
to yesterday by William E. Hickman,
kidnapper and murderer, marking its
first employment in Los Angeles
county courts. Hickman entered the
dual plea when, with Welby Hunt,
his youthful accomplice, he was ar
raigned for the murder of G. Ivy
Thons, druggist, in holdup Christ
mas eve, 1926
McATillan's attorney, Ray Chesebro,
said after the arraignrnent proceed
ingS were over that, following nu-
merous conferences with his client
and after consulting the records in
the case, he saw every possibility
for an insanity plea in addition to
one OF not guilty.
The elderly physician was calm
and showing even the trace of a
smile as the sack murder" indict-
ment was read to him in superior
court. His attorney reported his
client was not ready to enter his
formal plea and requested delay
until next Thursday. Judge Carlos
Hardy opined that a plea could be
entered before that and set Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock as the time
The, question of whether MCMILLAN
can drive an automobile came to the
front again today when deputy
sl1eriffS received information that the
physician had driven Mrs Minnie
Klock, owner of the apartment house
in which the doctor lived, to Culver
City and back on December %, the
day Mrs. Appleby last was seen alive.
Mrs. Applebys body, trussed in
sack, was found near San Fernando
on December 26 The cororier's jury
held that she died from congestion
of the lungs and from exposure.
Mcmillan has stated several times
that he could not drive, but district
attorneys officers expressed belief
GaaG the paySlclan was Seek11lS W
dispute their contention that he him
self took the body in a machine and
dumped it out near the San Fernando
valley town.
County chemists reported today
that brown stains found on the lapel
of NcN1illan's coat were from human
blood.
Deputy district attorneys declare
they are convinced that a will found
iiI1erzNIcMillan's possession and which
purports to have been by Mrs. Apple
by bequeathing all her fortune to the
physician, not only is in the doctors
Handwriting, but that the wonans
Signature is plainly forged.

an alleged soap factory swindle, and
Immediately a hunt was started for
two of the three who are believed TO
be fleeing through New Mexico.
The third member of the trio, j.
Greathouse, is held in jail in FL Paso,
Texas, according to word received here
on charges growing out of a $4,000
get-rich-uuick scheme he is said to
have helped promote in Louisiana.
Warrants for the arrest of J. Great
house and his two companions, L.. G.
Greathouse and w. Duffy, were issued
here sometime ago but were vacated
after the men had appeared before the
corporal; IN commission in Phoenix IN
connection with "Gila Valley Manu-
featuring company" which they sought
to incorporate. The charge against
them at that time was the same as at
present-obtaining money under false
pretenses.
The trio succeeded in smoothing over
the talk against them when 1t first
started, and had it not been for j..
Greenhouses arrest in Ell Paso, the
alleged swindle the three were con-
Quoting in Graham county might nave
continued indefinitely.
j.. Greathouse, whose arrest in Ell
Paso after he had left Stafford few
days ago, was taken in custody on the
streets of the Texas city when w. G..
Davis, formerly of Louisiana, declared
to officers that he recognized as man
who had participated in the Louisiana
swindle. Word of the arrest reached
Stafford today and Immediately war
rants were re-issued for the three.

HUCHITT
VETERAN RY. MAN
DIES IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Jan. 6 CD Marvin
Hughitt, ST., whose span OF service
to railroading in the middIewest
stretched back 65 years, died here
today after a paralytic stroke yes
terday. He was 80 years old.
Until yesterday the veteran had a
part in the direction of the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad, with
whose destinies he had been con-
nected Sc years, 28 as president.
AS he sat down to breakfast in
his suburban home at Lake Forest,
he was stricken and died without
regaining consciousness. He will be
buried Monday.
Although Mr. Hughitt retired as
president of the Northwestern in 1910,
and as chairman OF the board OF
directors in 1925, he continued a
relationship by serving as chairman
of the finance committee.
Telegraphing, a vocation he had
chosen after leaving his fathers farm
in New York state, was the vehicle
for Hughitt's entrance into railroad
ing.
He is survived by Marvin Hugfitt,
Jr., who recently retired as vice
president of the Northwestern, Mrs.
Charles S. Forst and Mrs: Alfred H.
Granger. Mrs. Hughitt and one
daughter are dead.
On his fathers farm near Genoa,
N. Y, where he had been born
