his belief that the American Navy

this respect. On the other hand, the

PEACOx LOSES
POISE DURING
TRIAL OPENING
Slayer of Bride Weeps as
His Attorney Pleads
Insanity.

BIZ United Press
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Sept. 18.
Earl Francis Peacox sat quietly
today and listened to an outline of
the evidence New York state pro-
poses to offer in an attempt to send
him to the electric chair.
The dapper 22-year-old radio
salesman, charged with killing his
young wife Dorothy, and then
burning her body, lost some of his
calm as District Attorney Frank H.
Coyne described the brutal killing,
but became more confident as the
defense revealed insanity will be
pleaded to save him.
Peacox has been almost Sneering
in his attitude, but when Coyne told
how the state would prove Peacox
held a mirror at his W1fe'S mouth
to be certain she was dead and told
of the cremation, the young radio
salesman seemed to vince.
Coyne told of Peacox's confess
sion he had wrapped a cord around
his wifes throat as he started to
take the body from the house, "be-
cause I was afraid the rain might
revive her"
Sydney A. Syrne, chief of defense
counsel, assailed the district attor-
ney's implication" that Peacox
killed his wife to get rid of her so
he could go back to Frances New
man.
Such supposition," he said,
can not be considered anything but
foolish when you consider that all
he had to do to get rid of her was
to let her get the divorce she
wanted"
He declared evidence would show
things Peacox learned about his wife
made him insane at the time of the
crime.
Syne told the jury Peacox pulled
his wife out of the gutter" that he
loved her as much as man could
love, and the youth began to weep.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. 18.--
Dragged from his bed Tuesday night
in his underclothing, Cleo Tessner,
"a, union organizer of Kings Noun
tain, was forced into an automobile
by three men and taken to lonely
spot in South Carolina, severely
beaten and warned if he returned
within three months he would be
killed, he said here today.
TeSsner came to Charlotte to have
his wounds dressed. He said three
men came to his home about
a. m. today and asked his wife
where he was sleeping. She di-
rected them to his bedroom.
Get up and come with us" one
man shouted, TeSsner said.
Claimed to Have Warrant
Tessner said the men informed
him they had a warrant for his ar
rest.
Tessner said he dressed quickly
and was placed in an automobile
and the party drove to a spot eight
miles from Gaf1ney, S. c., where
they forced him to alight.
They took me into a roadside
woods and beat me with clubs"
Tessner said. Then they found a
tree and one of them wanted to get
rope and hang me, but they
couldn't find one. Some one sug-
gested they could use an inner tube.
I guess they were trying to scare
me-"
The organizer said the men gave
him a final blow with a club and
ordered him to run into the woods,
firing at him as he stumbled in the
underbrush.
Tessner walked to the home of
E. L. Smith, cotton farmer, to OBJ
tain clothing.
Man Badly Bruised
The victims back and legs were
mass of cuts and welts. After he
had been given medical attention,
TeSsner said the men who f1ogged
him said they were from Gastonia
and were going to clean out the en-
tire union if we have to hang every
member"
A crowd of Gastonia citizens last
Monday kidnapped Ben Wells,
young British textile worker, and
two of his companions and severely
whipped Wells.
While Tessner was being whipped,
anti-unionists dynamited the union
speakers stand in Kings mountain,
the United Press was told by Off
cials of the Cora Mill, where Tessner
formerly worked.
The stand was about 100 yards
from a company store, which was
not damaged by the blast.

day aided weary fighters. combating
the forest fire which swept more
than $4,000 acres in Ventura county,
and the blaze was thought under
control today.
Although the fire did damage esti-
mated at 100000, burned down
almost 100 oil derricks and scores of
homes, and indirectly caused the
death of one person, it was stopped
short of the rich Ventura oil fields
and Ventura itself.
The fire was giving most trouble
today in the Santa Paula distrir,, :,
but it was expected that the entire
situation would be in hand by noon.
Fire fighters said the weather condi-
tions were favorable for halting the
flames.
The rain, an off-ocean wind, and
back firing ended the advance of
the flames toward the oil fields.

In public address and public
prints, men have compared
him to Columbus and to Ma
gellan. But he was not one
whose head would be turned.
Quietly, he insists that he is no
hero, but a man of serious pur-
pose, seeking to bring a new form
of transportation into existence,
and so compelled to demonstrate
that vehicle to the world.
And yet the o arresting picture
persists of the heroic explorer, the
man of courage and imagination, a
bearded air captain, steering a
mighty ship over mountain ranges
and stormy oceans, a ship as high
as a fourteen-story building and
longer than the towering height
of the tallest skyscraper.
Talk as much as he might of
transport and commercial achieve
ment, DR.. Eckener could not divest
himself Of the cloak of romance and
high adventure.
VXTHAT is he like when he is at
w ease, this DR.. Eckener?
He is a warm friend, a fascinating
conversationalist, and charming
host. A voracious reader, he seems
to be an authority on every subject
under the sun. Il
The field of art, like the field OF
science, is perfectly familiar to him
He is an authority, in particular, on
etchings and oil paintings; a brother
is professor of art at Stuttgart uni
versity, and has a considerable rep
utation as an etcher.
DR.. Eckener and his wife have two
children-a son Knute, who was the
hero of the first flight of the Graf
Zeppelin to Lakehurst last year,
and daughter, who is following in
her uncle's footsteps and studying
art.
DR.. Eckener smiles reminiScently
today when he talks Of his boyhood.
It was boyhood devoted largely to
the outdoors. He was not an ardent
pupil.

TN furnishing the outline for this
Il sketch, DR.. Eckener dictated VOL
luminous notes while in New York

summed up his early days in his
own words:
