Tells of His InfatuatiOn
Moncure, in an evidently highly
nervous state. today took the stand
and unfolded his tale of the infatua-
tion for the married school teacher
in Marion. He said that the ac-
quaintance began and ripened while
he was acting on the school board
About year ago, he said, letters
between himself and the woman
were intercepted and they both left
Marion, she to come here to the
university and he to go to Norfolk
to try to carry on a law practice.
The man said that his love for
the erstwhile school teacher had
wrecked his business. Trips here
to see her and worry over his treat
ment of his family combined to
prevent him from working.
He explained the possession OF the
revolver when he told the court
that the husband of the woman
had come here looking for him and
that he had been warned that the
gun was in the pocket of the irate
mans automobile.

cal commission. Justice Watson
Sadler recommended that he be
placed in an institution until his
nerves are in a more settled state

by this I do not mean that

But the necessary experience OF

Plans Growing
The Eagle, which picked up the
four fliers and their giant hydro
plane Numancia Just one week after
they had been force, down in the
sea while attempting transatlantic
flight from Spain to New York by
way of the Azores, is steaming to-
ward Gibraltar at approximately Is
knots, and as each hour brought her
nearer land, additional preparations
for the fliers' arrival were put under
way.
1t was learned today that Capt.
Ruiz de Aida, one of Frances as
sistants aboard the plane. may be
scarcely recognizable when he dis
embarks from the Eagle at Gibral-
tar. In a wireless message to his
family. the aviator revealed that he
had grown a luxurious beard during
the week the Numancia tossed l. elp-
less on the waves, owing to the
utter impossibility of shaving.
Rivera Loses Weight
Apparently he found the hirsute
adornment TO his liking, for he
has apparently decided not to take
advantage of the Eagles tonsorial
facilities and will leave the ship
with his face shrouded in unfamiliar
whiskers.
Another development of this sort
resulting from the fliers' narrow
escape from disaster is that Gen.
Primo de Rivera. dictator of Spain,
is seven pounds lighter than he
was when the Numancia took off
from Los Alcazares aerodrome on
June 81.
1t is understood General De
Rivera, Spanish premier, will leave
Madrid some time today for Glib
raltar to be on hand when the
filters arrive. A number OF import
ant government officials, as well as
newspaper men, have already left
for the British outpost on the Medi-
terranean to extend a suitable well
come.
Due to the fact Major Franco Is
as popular in this country as Col,
Charles Lindbergh is in America,
it is expected scenes of unprece.
dented enthusiasm will be enacted
when the airman and his com.
panions arrive in this city.
GIBRALTAR. July l Q.N,S9.--
Numerous Spanish notables arrived
today to participate in the welcome
to Major Ramon Franco and his
three companions who were picked
up at sea by the British aircraft
carrier Eagle when their attempted
round-the-world flight failed in its
initial stage.
Hotels and cafes are packed with
excited crowds that spend their
waiting hours discussing the rescue
of the airmen after they had been
adrift in the Atlantic more than a
week.
Preparations for festivals in
honor of the aviators are under
way in the adjacent towns Of Ia.
