Business AS Usual"

NOGALES, Arizona, March IL
Although the federal governor of
Lower California, General Abelardo
Rodriguez, has threatened to bonn
bard the rebels in Nogales, Mexico,
just across the border, the 200 or
more saloons and "Hot- Mama" cab
arets owned and operated by Amer
leans in the Mexican city were do
ing good business. They seemed to
be relying on the idea that the re-
bells who hold the town, as well as
the federals, are fearful to provoke
United States intervention by pro-
miscuous bombing or other fighting
which will endanger these Amer
leans and their property.
The catholic churches also did
rushing business Sunday under the
rebel-clerical control. Reports are
that Adolfo de la Huerta, former
provisional president of Mexico and
leader of the clerical revolt three
years ago, is about to join the pre-
sent one. General Enrique Estrada,
De la Huerta's former military
chief, and his secretary, General
Jorge Laurens, have arrived here
from their refuge with De la Huerta
in California, and Joined the rebel
lion.
Battle Planes Made Here.
The Chance Vought Corporation
of Long Island City, builder of the
Vought Corsair battle planes, is
working "a hours a day on rush
orders for battle planes for the Next
can federal government.
General Juan F. Azcarate, chief
of the Mexican air Forces, is in New
York to rush plane delivery. The
firm would give no information,
saying that he was mot permitted
to reveal" anything.
The planes will be delivered to
Mexican air pilots who are now be-
ing given the freedom of the U. S.
naval air station at Hampton Roads,
Virginia, to learn the construction
and operation of the Corsair plane

Intimidation Charge Hurled
From Stand at Deputy
Sheriff.

Charges that efforts were made to
intirnidate witnesses in the case of
Elmer E. Petty, deputy sheriff, on
trial before a criminal court jury on
charges of drunkenness and operat-
ing an auto while drunk, we're made
today from the witness stand.
Petty is alleged to have struck an
auto driven by John Stack, 1346
Roache street, June 6, at Sixteenth
street and Riverside boulevard. At
the time Petty was driving a depty
sheriff's auto.
Witness Was Warned"
The disclosure came when Rob-
ert Reynolds, 3345 Ruckle, an eye
witness to the auto crash, said he
had been warned" by another
deputy to "stay away from the wit
ness stand in this case or it may
be too bad for YOU"
Questioned by Prosecutor Judson
L. Stark, Reynolds testified the
warning" was given when "anonym-
ouS' persons were conducting an
investigation of the accident.
Stack testiged that, following the
accident, Petty was urged by a COM
panion to "get breath-killer" be-
fore he returned to the sheriff's of
flee. 1t also was brought out that
the accident occurred at 8 a. m. and
that Petty did not appear before
Sheriff George L. Winkler to re-
port the crash until / p. m.
Objected to Treatment
Testimony of Mrs! Elizabeth Berry,
1926 South LUett street, revealed
that Petty objected to being taken
to a hospital for treatment. after the
crash.
"He said repeatedly he'd get
messed up if he was taken to the
hospital and that this thing would
put the sheriff's office in terrible
jam unless it was kept quiet" she
said.
"I heard him say" Mrs. Berry
testified, that he had two drinks
too many and that he believed he
didn't have sense enough to leave
liquor alone"
Stack further testified Petty
agreed to pay all expenses in re-
pairing Stacks car, but later
backed OUT
Petty probably will not take the
stand until Wednesday Municipal
Judge Thomas E. Garvin is trial
judge.

Peck and Lawrence Genaro, with
their monoplane, the Indianapolis

day planned to take-otf on a second
attempt to break the worlds air en-

Shortly after dawn, with its gas
tanks empty the yellow monoplane
dropped through a fog that the
pilots eyes could penetrate only a
few feet, and landed with dead
stick, six miles north of Knights
town, after seventy eight hours aloft.
All night they battled rain and
windstorms, and flew through fog
that reached from the earth to 5000
feet.

Peck, at the controls, dived time
after time, hoping to see the earth.
Several times, trees loomed up
suddenly in front of them. and they
were forced to zoom sharply. Final
ly, as the motor gasped from want
of fuel, they roared between a
house and a barn, the home of
Howard Strough, and landed in the

They intend to rest at the airport,
and make fresh start as soon as
possible. W
cit was the worst experience I've
ever had" said, Peck. 1--WE would
have been flying yet if we had dis
obeyed orders not to fly over the

This order was issued Monday
after complaints were received from
residents of the city that they were
disturbed by the motors drone
through the night.
1--WE tried long circles about the
city, but in the fog early this morn

When they discovered gas was

ship and dropping with parachutes,
but we're afraid the plane would
fall in the city with injury to per-

TORCH Slayer
CONF FIDENT At
JURY DRAWING
Peacox Maintains 'Cocky'
Air Despite Mention of
Death Penalty.
NINE JURORS ACCEPTED
TaIesmen Questioned as to
Prejudice by Admission
of Wife Killing.

By United Press
COURTHOUSE, WHITE PLAINS
N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE trial of Earle
Francis Peacox for the Staying of
his wife was resumed in supreme
court today with both sides anxious
TO compete selection of the jury, of
which seven members were seated
Monday.
PeacoX, who admits he killed Mrs.
Dorothy Heinzelman Peacox in their
Mt. Vernon apartment and later
soaked her body with gasoline and
tried to burn it, still was confident
almost cocksure-when brought
into court.
His black hair almost was plas-
tered down today and his dress
again was immaculate, even to the
corner of silk showing from his
breast pocket.
TaIks to Counsel
The 22-year- old slayer leaned over
to talk to his counsel frequently as
the questioning of witnesses began.
He seemed to show more interest in
the proceedings than Monday.
The first talesman to be examined
today was Harry Bernstein, New
Rochelle furrier.
The. state. and. defense went
through the same ritual as Monday.
do you believe in enforcement
of all laws, even though the penalty
may be death?" asked District At
torney Frank H. Coyne.
The talesman did.
Then Sydney Syme, chief defense
counsel for Peacox, started his long
questioning. Would the juror be
prejudiced by the fact that this boy
admits he killed his wife, killed her
on their first wedding anniversary?
Would he be affected by the fact
he tried to burn her body or by his
alleged illicit relations with New
York dance hall hostess?
Suddenly Challenges
No, he would not, but Symes sud-
denly challenged the talesnan per-
emptorily and he was excused.
Samuel Griffin, 35, of Montrose,
was chosen as the eighth juror after
colloquy between Symes and JUS
tice Tompkins as to just what is a
reasonable doubt"
Carolyn Winters, the girl who car
ried notes between Dorothy Peacox
and Eugene Bussey, former Balti-
more medical student, sat in the
front row of spectators today. She
pulled the collar of her smart rain
coat up over her face as shield
against the photographers.
BusSey was to have been a witness
for the defense, but he is now a
radio operator on steamer and will
not be able to appear. The letters
Miss Winters carried from him to
Dorothy will be introduced as evi-
dence, however.
The first talesman examined this
afternoon was accepted, leaving only
three more to be chosen. The ninth
juror is A. Lincoln LIE Vinnes, Ct, of
White Plains.

STRIKERS BURY
VICTIM OF MOB
Five Children Weep at
Grave as Speakers
HurI Charges.

| BH LBifed Press
BESSEMER CITY, N. c., Sept. IT,
In a tiny, isolated cemetery with
labor organizers shouting criticisms
at her slayer, Mrs. Ella May Wig
gins, 35-year-old widow and textile
striker, was buried here today.
Mrs. Virgins was shot to death
late Saturday while en- route to a
strikers rally in South Gastonia,
when gunmen fired into a truck load
of workers.
Many had plodded through red
clay in a drenching rain to the
cemetery long before the grave was
ready to receive the inexpensive
gray casket. Other stood for hours
huddled in front of the house where
the body laid since the shooting.
Shortly before the procession
started, it was discovered no minis
ter had been obtained. Frank Sisk,
undertaken, hurriedly telephoned the
Rev. c. j. Black because, he said,
Il want the thing done right"
Children Weep at Grave
The five children orphaned by
Mrs. Virgins death appeared in
new clothing at the head of the
grave, weeping as their mothers
mothers body was lowered.
Dewey Martin, an organizer, took
step forward.
we have gathered here for a sad
purpose" he began. ITO say goodby
to our sister Ella May, who was a
loyal worker of our union. She gave
her life for betterment of the fel-
low-worker'."
He pointed dramatically to the
Virgins children.
We'll take care of them," he
promised.
There was a pause. The minister
started to speak and was inter-
rupted by A. w. Williams, secretary
of the local branch of the National
Textile Workers Union.
AS Williams finished, the min
lister again stepped forward. Again
he was interrupted, this time by
c. D. Saylor, another organizer, one
of the three men kidnapped by mob
Of GaStonia citizens last week.
He was coatless. His flushed face
was set in hard lines. He painted
a vivid picture of the shooting OF
Mrs. Virgins and said:
Those people weren't doing any
thing against the law. They were
not armed.
Succeeds Third Time
How do you imagine the man
| feels that shot her? How do you
suppose he likes to think of the five
children whose mother he killed?
It's a disgrace to the state of North
Carolina and wouldn't have hap
pened if we'd had the protection we
were entitled to-
For the third time the minister
advanced. This time he was not
stopped.
Let us leave off the tragedy and
think now of the five children that
are left without a mother" he
pleaded.
Let us bring up these children to
fear God and be honorable citizens
Let us be men and women who fear
God"
Friends and pallbearers closed the
grave. Two of the youngest of the
orphaned children innocently helped
throw dirt upon the caSket.
AS clodS fell, Katy Barnett, q
striker, dressed in new white dress
sang to the tune of Casey Jones,
a song of the mill workers that was
composed by the dead woman, who
had been dubbed the PoeteSs OF
Loray"
The five Virgins children are tc
be placed in an orphanage.

ATTORNEY DISBARRED
Conviction in Arson Case
Brings Court Action.

Jesse D. Hanrick, indianapolis
attorney, was disbarred today by the
supreme court.
The disbarment resulted from
Hamrick's state prison sentence on
an arson charge. He now is on
parole.
Consideration of designations of
Robert McNay and w. Lee Smith,
former Klan leaders, as attorneys,
was taken up by the court.
Smith and McNay were paroled

Shumaker pointed out inaccu-
racy of a Chicago newspaper car
toon which termed the tonic ''Bu-
chu." He gave the tonic's correct
name as Wis-Tonic.
"Shumaker is violating no state
or federal law in taking the tonic, I"
said Winders," and it seems to me
the papers should lay OF at least
long enough to permit Shumaker
to regain his health"

why, the tonic I'm taking
just three teaspoons a day--is
equal to only about sixth of
a bottle of four and one-half per
cent beer" Shumaker averred.
Both Winders and Shurnaker
charged the newspaper attack on
the tonic he had taken was in
cited by wet interests.
