some kid getting ready to step into
your shoes and carry on.
I've seen lot of them come and
go. After the celebration the other
day I got to Ginning with Red
about the changes in baseball. There
have been a lot of them-but We
both agreed that to us the real base
ball stars will always be the fellows
who were in the limelight when we
broke in.
Remember First Club
Those old Boston Red SoX Of
1914 and 1915 will always seem the
greatest team of all time to me. Bill
Carrigan, who still is handling the
Red Sox, will always come to my
mind when I think of great catchers.
George Foster, Ernie Shore, Joe
Woods and all the old gang still rep
resent the best there is in pitching.
Somehow a fellow never forgets
those first friendships. And no mat
ter how good he may become later,
or how great the ball clubs he plays
with, he never can get away from
the feeling he has for the team with
which he broke in as a rookie.
Personally I hate to think of quit
ting-yet I'm ready whenever the
time comes. And I have only one
wish. I hope when I come to the
end of the playing string I can step
out of the game with as many
friends and with as fine reputation
as square shooter as Red Faber
has.

Liggon, 26, went on trial in
Hastings Court here today.
Craig married Liggon's widow
less than a month after Iiggon lost
his life, when a rowboat, which he
and Craig occupied, capsized in the
James River.
Craig admitted to police that he
hit Liggon over the head with o
stick to release the latter's vice
like grip around his neck while the
two were struggling in the water
and 10 save his own life.
Liggon's body was exhumed and

for Liggon's death, was charged
with murder.
Roomed i'm Liggon Home
Craig for some months prior to
the river tragedy had roomed in
the Lggon home and, according
to police. frequently went out with
Mrs, Liggon. Others testified, be.
fore a preliminary hearing in the
police court, to intimate relations
between the two.
Life insurance amounting to
about $4,000 was given by some OF
the witnesses at the police court
hearing as a motive that might
have prompted Craig to kill Liggon.
One commonwealth witness said he
heard Craig tell a friend named
Williams: ITO hell with her; it was
the money I wanted"
Miss Cora McGruder, IL South
Pine ST., a State witness, said she
had seen Zillah Giggon's widow
and Craig's bride) in intimate poses
with Mike" as Craig is known
to his intimates, and that she had
seen her sit in his lap and hug and
kiss him several times before Lig-
CONS death. On one occasion, when
Zillah was i'll, Craig waited on her,
Mrs. McGruder testified.

Another witness, Mrs. Lucy Cary,

meeting Mrs. Ltggon before the
tragedy last August. She said that
Mrs. Liggon was employed at the

she worked. and that Craig used to

KILLED IN
RAID:
-

AURORA, Ill, March 26
(I.N.S.).-Mrs. Lillian De
King, IS, mother of a 9-year-
old boy, is dead, and her hus-
band and a dry agent are
wounded today following a
raid on the De King home
here last night.
Deputy sheriffs, who staged the
kaid. said Mrs. De King was struck
III wild bullet as she dashed across
tsie room TO telephone an attorney.
Fhe woman's little son, seeing his
mother fall dead, seized a gum and
fired at the raiders. He shot Roy
smith in the leg before he could be
disarnled.
The boys father was clubbed In
sensible with the butts of revolvers
when he resisted the officers.
Done On Warrant
The raid, according to Assistant
States Attorney Carl Schultz. was
made on a warrant.
Three deputies first went to the
De King home.
De King, they said. refused them
admittance and when they insisted
he drew a gun on them. At that
they withdrew, they said, went back
to headquarters and enlisted the
help of three other deputies. The
six then returned to the home.
The deputies forced their way
into the house and the battle oc'
CURED inside.
De King surrendered when his
wife was shot.
The officers claimed they had a
search warrant. They returned to
their office with a half gallon OF
wine said to have been seized in
the De King home.
Used Gas Bombs
The sheriff is reported to have
equipped his force with mustard
gas bombs and machine gun in
addition to their regular armament
of pistols and shotguns.
1t was on this visit to the De
King home that the fatal shooting
occurred. ...
Smith said he tossed in a gas
bomb and waited for the occupants
of the house to come out. OBJ
servers later pointed out that the
door of the De King home had been
smashed in and that the shooting
actually took place in the dining
room.
AS Smith advanced inside, De
King is said to have retreated to
the dining room, with a revolver in
each hand.
"Get out of here. you have no
right in my house." he shouted,
but before he could say more was
felled by a blow from shotgun.
Woman Was TelephOning
Robert A. Milroy, counsel for the
De, King family, contradicted the
statement of dry officers that Mrs.
De King was killed when she
seized a weapon and tried to fire
upon the men, according to their
story.
Milroy said Mrs. De King was
talking to him over the telephone
a few minutes after the raiders
are alleged to have broken into the
home and he heard her cry: my
God!' simultaneously with the
sound of a shot. Milroy said the
wire then went dead" and he
rushed to the home to find it
empty.

LONDON, March 26 (I.N.S.l.
Although they succeeded in
making a transatlantic, non
stop flight from Seville, Spain,
to Brazil, Capt. Francisco
Jimenez and Capt. Ignacio
Iglesias were forced to land
at Bahia, approximately 500
miles north of Rio de Janeiro,
said an Exchange telegraph
dispatch from Rio this after
noon.
The airmen had planned to fH to
Rio without a stop and then con.
tinue southwark IL their fuel held
out and weather conditions were
satisfactofyssbu bus, according to the
Exchange Telegraph, they were
compelled to land even before get
ting to Rio.
Short Of Fuel
Two Exchange Telegraph dis
matches were received from Rio.
The first said it was reported the
fliers had landed at Bahia. The
second said it was confirmed that
the landing had taken place and
that the men came down at the
Camassary .Airdrome. 1t was as
sumed their fuel ran short.
.Iimenez and Iglesias, when they
hopped off, said they hoped to heat
the 4 500 mile distance record estah-
lished last year by Arturo Ferrarin
and Carlo P. Del Prete, Italian avia'
tors, when they flew from Rome to
Natal. on the Brazilian coast.
Indications were that the Span
iards had fallen short of the record
by about 500 miles.
Make Fast Time
The distance from Seville TO
Natal is. about 1900 miles. When
they passed Natal they had been in
the air between "a and So hours.
Apparently they were favored by
helpful tail winds, for they aver
aged better than 100 miles an hour
in their flight.
Their original destination, Rio de
Janeiro, lies about 1000 miles south
of Natal The latter city is s1tu-
ated on the northeastern tip OF
Brazil.
The aviators were reported to
have passed out to the sea off Cape
Verde, Africa, yesterday morning,
so that they negotiated the 2,4O0
miles over the ocean from there to
Natal in less than "a hours.
Planned For Months
Jiminez and Iglesias had planred
their flight for months. They had
nnet with many disappointments
but were determined to better the
record of the Italians, Ferrarin a sd

$500 miles from Rome to Brazil.

Atlantic prior to the Italians.
The Spanish plane carried about
600 gallons of gas and about 700
gallons of oil. It also was loaded
with bananas, condensed milk. eggs
and chocolate, which the fliers con.
sumed en- route. The fully loaded
plane weighed almost five tons.
hence its average speed of more
than 100 miles an hour from Seville
to Natal was remarkable.

Up until that time, it was pretty

to his death as the result Of acci'

The police steppel into the case
