minutes this morning, when 70,

"And how do you know that, Miss

Because the person who killed
Borden was In this office, not in the

one window through the other, but
there are two excellent, irrefutable
proofs that the person who killed
him was in this office either during
or after the murder. First-the body

"Just = minute!" McMann inter-
rupted. 1--WE have no proof that Bor-
den was robbed, beyond the fact that
the money Is missing. How do you
know that he did not give the money
to someone before his death ?"
"He gave Mrs. Borden a check!"
Ruth flashed. "And he had no other
visitor except Mrs. Borden until Rita
Dubois came. according to the evil
dence of the elevator operator,
Micky Moran. Oh, yes! Benny
Smith was here, too, about half-past
one, but surely you can't imagine
Borden's making his office boy

it isn't fair to Jack to convict him
in your own mind until you've talked
with Rita Dubois ? We know she was

That's ridiculous!" Ruth cried,

HIGH HOPES FOR
OIL STRIKE HERE

Now to a depth Of almost 400
feet, the shaft being sunk by the
Charles r. Henderson company
near Arden is getting nearer and
nearer to what drillers believe may
be oil. Drillers now have caslngs
on the ground in readiness.
Gas is still very much IN eVi-
dence, according to DR.. l.. M. Hat
field. manager, yesterday. and what
with the fact that they have drill
ed through 3o2 feet OF lime con-
glomerate, a cap strong enough to
hold limitless quantities OF gas
it is now regarded as strong
probability that the driller may
run into a natural gas field which
will be very much worth while.
The formation is a perfect set
up for an oil strike, he stated. we
have high hopes of making rich
oil strike eventually.

Las Vegas last week, came a flood
CT Californians to be united in a
hurry in this Nevada haven Three
couples came in. one right after
another, yesterday morning, and
were tied together without loss
OF time as fast as they came.
Whether the advent of the Gil
bert Claire ceremony brought the
landslide Of applicants, or whether
the pilgrimage was caused by the
annual spring-born strength OF Dan
Cupids right arm is problematical.
But at any rate, they came
The first to come over the state
line after Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert re-
turned were Alfred H. Metcalf and
Sally Nichols, both CT Los An
geles. who arrived Friday, the day
after the wedding which held the
attention of the entire nation riV-
eted on Las Vegas.
Movement Gains
The movement gained momentum
Saturday, when two couples secur-
ed licenses. They were Don S.
Doig, of Glendale and Grace Vir-
ginia James of Los Angeles; and
Frank A. Buchanan and Lillian
Spencer of Searchilght.
Yesterday the climax came when

by Judge Orr, of the district court.
No sooner had Frank Dllirg and

Commander Denies Report
That Graft Zeppelin Has
Been Sold For California
Hawaii Service.
BY ERIC KEYSER

BY ERIC kE1SER
United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, May Is. (UP)-
When the mammoth dirigible
Graf Zeppelin glideS cut of its
FriedrichShafen hanger early
early Wednesday for its sec
0nd trans s-Atlantic adventure
within year, many CONNER
ciaI aviation experts will look
upon the trip as the inaugura-
ticn of actual air service be-
tween Germany and the Uni
ted States.
Once more the giant of the air,
carrying 20 passengers and a crew
of 40, will head toward Lakehurst,
N. j., by the shortest possible route.
Once mere the ship will be COM
manded by Dr. Hugo Eckner, the
pilot who saw it across the Allan
tic last year through gales and
several time-eating detours.
The first transatlantic trip was
REGARDED somewhat in the nature
of an experiment. The voyage on
which DR.. Eckner will start We'd
nesday is looked forward TO with
great calmnesS by all the members
of the crew, all the passengers ana
the officials of the line. The at
mosphere of tensenesS which mark
ed the week before the last flight
is absent while the current pre-
parations are being made.
The Graf Zeppelin will start
out as a German ship and Will
return the same way. Reports that
the ship had been sold to certain
American interests for service be-
tween Southern California and
Hawaii, were categorically denied
TODAY by DR.. Eckner, although he
admitted he had received offers
which he "flatly refused"
DrEckner hopes to reach Lake
hurst by Friday night. Every
thing, of course, will depend on
the weather.
The ship is ready for the voyage
It has been overhauled and care
fully gone over. The fin which
partly collapsed last fall has been
strengthened and reinforced tc
withstand strong winds, and there
is little likelihood Of a recurrence
of the accident.
Several experimental flights haV'
been made and the ship has beer
found to be in a perfect working
order. One of these flights was
a three-day non stop flight from
Frederichshafen to Jerusalem ano
return. Another took in all ol
France, Spain and Morocco, tht
last trip, tune-up trip for tht
transatlantic flight, was one
day voyage over Austria.
On the coming oceantrip th'
passengers will be able to trave
in utmost luxury. A new chef ma
been employed to cater to th'
wants of the fastidious. Specia
radio equipment has been installed
to enable the ship to keep II
touch with the world. The dlrl
gible will report to Lakehurst OF
an eight hour schedule early IL
the flight and on one-hou
schedule later in the journey
