ALlENISTS TESTIFY
AT GOODS TRIAL
Youthful Husband Attorney
Continues Attempt to
Prove Becky Insane.

BIZ United Press
NEW BRAUNFELS Tex, Sept. H.
The trial of Mrs. Rebecca Bradley
Rogers, which reached its reatest
emotional heights in the non-expert
testimony of her youn husband, the
defense attorney, returned to the
cold technicalities of aIienists and
physicians today as Otis Rogers con-
tinued his tireless attempt to prove
hi wife insane.
Otis had told how his college
romance and secret marriage to
Becky" was wrecked when, shortly
after the two left the campus OF
the University of Texas, his wife was
arrested and charged with robbing
the Farmers National Bank of
Buda, Tex, today, clinging firmly
to refense of his wife in what ne
termed "her hour of need" he
sought to explain that turning point
in their lives by adducing testimony
of experts in proof that the defend
ants mind is disorered.
On the witness Stand from Wnlcn
acquaintances of the girl had said
she was unbalanced, Otis told the
full story of their troubled lives
from the time they were children
together.
Rogers testified without dramatic
flourish and carefully evaded plays
on sympathy. He gazed on aimless-
ly at the jury of twelve farmers and
talked at times in conversational
tone to the crowded courtroom. Oc-
casionaH he glanced at Becky, but
she gave no sign. Her arms were
folded in her lap and she stared
straight ahead, as she had done
throughout the week.
Rogers has made no effort to
hasten proceedings and it was not
believed the case would reach the
jury prossibly before early next
week.

Wreckage Identified
The Andaste wreckage was picked
up by the fishing tug Bertha c., but
its master, Captain George Van Hall,
did not reach port with the news
until late Friday.
He took the debris to Grand Ha-
ven, from where the Andaste set out
Monday night on a trip to Chicago.
George Evans and Joe Collins Of
Grand Haven, members Of the AM
daStes crew, who had been left be-
hind on the last trip, identified the
cabin door and the water tank.
Collins and Evans had been In
cluded on the ships roster and it
had been presumed they were aboard
until officials of the Construction
Materials Company, to whom the
Andaste's cargo of sand was con-
signed, located them in Grand Ha-
ven. The number aboard then was
set at twenty-five.
The Andaste's fate was tragically
like that of its sister ship, the Cliff"
ton, which sank in Lake Huron With
twe1lty-eight men during storm
in 1924. Two other freighters, the
Chicora and the Rouse Simmons
went down in Lake Michigan DUR
ing similar storms, each with twen-
ty-flve men aboard. The Chicora
sank in 1895, the Rouse Simmons In
1910
Captain Hall said the freighters
wreckage was floating on the sur
face over an area of four or five
miles. He fixed the location of the
disaster about twenty-five miles of
shore near South Haven and esti-
mated the ship sank about IL p. m.
Monday night.
Captain Anderson, 81, had been
sailing the Great Lakes for forty
eight years and had been master
of ships for thirty years. He had
planned to give up sailing after this
season. He is survived by his
widow. daughter and two sons,
all of Sturgeon Bay, Wis.
