SWEDISH AVIA7ORS
 TAKE TRIAL FLIGHT
Plane at First Thought Starting
 on Hop to Greenland
CREW MEMBERS CHEERFUL
Cooler Taken on Plane for Repairs When Airmen Return - Hope to Complete Work on Radiator To- day at Iceland Port.

Reykjavik. Iceland. June IF R- The cooler was taken from the en- zine of the Swedish transatlantic ariplane Sverige after her return from 8 trial flight this morning. Mechanics brought it ashore, say ing it was possible to repair the cooler here and that they could finish the repairs today. Captain Albin Nuremberg was informed how ever, that the weather outlook to- ward Greenland was unfav0rable.
 Thought On Hop-on
 When the Swedish airmen took of, it was first thought that they were headed for Greenland on the third lap of their flight. but the fliers soon came back. The flight was made in order to test repairs made on ;i,e plane's cooling apphr- atus.
 Captain Nuremberg was watching weather conditions closely and if the weather outlook continued good in Greenland planned to start for lvig- tut some time during the day. He will carry enough fuel for IS hours although the hop to Greenland should take only between nine and ten hours.
 The aviators were up at 6 o'clock this morning and began their study of weather reports from Greenland which have been arriving every hour
 After breakfast they boarded their seaplane Sverige and made the trial trip.
 Pliers Still Cheerful
 Apparently unaffected by the de- lays and mishaps which have mark. cd the flight thus far, the airmen were merry and optimistic of suc- cess. They were extremely reticent. however. concerning their plans, having private writing contracts.

 Harmon, who is district attorney here, said Rhinelander had lived n Las Vegas and at nearby moun- tain resort since January l, under an assumed name. He had success fully hidden his identity by a mous- tache and 2 gain of Fl pounds in weight since coming to Nevada.
 Admits True Name
 Rhinelander reluctantly admitted his true name when confronted with news service pictures of hin- self. He explained that he had sought to avoid publicity while es- tablishing the six months residence necessary to hle divorce action in this state.
 Under the name of Lou Russell. Harmon admitted, his client had re- sided at the. Nevada hotel and in . cabin at the Charleston mountain resort, 20 miles north of Las Vegas. He also had operated in real estate, through which the attorney, and others who knew Rhiaelander a Russell. said the young man had made a considerable income.

CAMPBELL WAN AS
 QUERIES CONTINUE
"lorch Murder" Trial Continues
 -Dtfcndint Confused
NERVES GROWING WORSE
Engineer FMmbles With Papers From Confession Many Minutes Before Answering Question Of At- tOfncy for Prosecution.

Elizabeth, N. J., June 12 (UP)- Henry Colin Campbell nervously fought for his life today when he kept contending that he could not remember many of the things he previously had been quoted as say- ing about the torch murder" Of his bigamous wife, Mrs. Mildred Mowry.
 Engineer Cross Examined
 The middle-ased engineer. his face almost an ashen shade and his hands twitching violently. was brought to the stand at his trial to- day for cross examination by Prose- cutor Abe J. David. He appeared to be in much more nervous condi- ton than yesterday, particularly when handed a copy of the con- fession in which he said he shot the 45 year old woman, poured gasoline on the body and then partly cre- mated it. -.
 T ask you to read that paper and tell me whether the things you said to me are in it or not" David said.
 Campbell fumbled with the sheet. For IS minutes he read each of the sheets on which he had signed his name. Finally he answered:
 There arc lots e things ] said in that paper. Th( (e are also lots of others I don't rsmember saying" "
 Clainss He Caaaot Remenber
 Almost all his answers today were in the same vein with the recurrent answer:
 II cannot remember"
 David's cross examination was al- most . retracing of the questioning Campbell had undergone from his own counsel yesterday. The answers were mainly. the skme.
 Campbell's physical condition to- today-as his trial neared . comple- tion-was such that he had to grip sides of the witness box for support. His knees sayged noticeably and hts voice was even less audible than yesterday.
