BANDIT CHARGES
IN DEATH PLOT
SPIKED BY ALIBIS
Mystery Deepens in Detroit
Case After Husband De-
MES Part in HoIdup.
By United Press

PU United Press
DETROIT, Jan. 26-The labyrinth
of mystery which has surrounded
the affairs of Brs. Grace NJ. Wood
and her young husband in the last
month deepened today as Wood
offered an apparently irrefutable
alibi to offset charges that he aided
in the $4,000 robbery of the First
National bank at SturgiS, Mich.
Mrs Wood is scheduled to go be-
fore Justice Leonard Schemanske
on Monday for preliminary exam
nation on a charge of assault to
kill Wood on the night of Jan. g.,
the day after he had Withdrawn
his divorce suit against her.
Produce Alibis
She is i'll in downtown hotel,
at liberty on $4,000 bond, while
Wood and Cecil Holt, who informed
police of the alleged murder plot
against Woods life are held in jail
at Centerville, Mich, their bonds set
at $4,000 each, on bank robbery
charges.
Despite. positive identification of
Wood and Holt as two of the five
robbere who held up the Sturgis
bank. an investigation by James
Chenot, prosecutor here, disclosed
that Wood had given four checks
to a Detroit department store at
noon ON the day of the robbery
which was committed about 4
o'clock at Sturgis-rnore than one
hundred miles from here.
Other witnesses have stated Holt
was working in the Office of the
Cadillac Motor Company here on
Dec. /.
Charge plot Frameup
Thomas F. Chawke, chief cou1-
sci for Mrs. Wood, revealed today
that he planned to bring out de-
tails of the alleged robbery plot if
Mrs. Wood went to trial.
Chawke said the murder charges
against Mrs. Wood were framed"
because she had suspected her hus-
band of the Sturgis robbery.
Ambrose Haggerty was shot to
death by Wood the night of Jan. 8,
when he, Holt, Taylor Pierce and
William Thompson went to Woods
office.
Holt warned police that the men
were going to kill Wood so his wife
could obtain $4,000 insurance, but
Chawke claims the men went to the
office only to obtain evidence OF the
Sturgis robbery.

VX7ASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Per-
w haps it is not generally known
that almost any visitor to Washing
ton can enter the White House with
out much to-do; perhaps a card
from congressman, sometimes not
even that If appearances are fairly
good and the story sounds plaus-
ible.
And what is the interior of the
White House hke-this big man.
sion of which Mrs. Herbert Hoover
will become mistress on March AZ
A visitor is ushered into the first
floor reception hall, to the left. of
which Is the famous East room,
with its glittering chandeliers, gold
piano. velvet curtains and gold
chairs. This room Is known as
THE Nations Parlor."
Most anyone can see the Red
room, the Blue room, the Green
room and can stray into the big
state dining room and see the silver
water taakard and the massive wal
nut furniture.
The visitor comes out into the
hall again and peers up the mag
nificent staircase. But q, visitor
will never find out what's upstairs
unless he gets to be president or on
very chunmy terms with one, for
while the first floor may belong to
the public, the second and third
floors are decidedly private.
How Upstairs Looks
What, then, is the White House
like upstairs where the foot Of or
binary mortal never treads?
If one could climb the nlagnifi-
cent staircase or ride the fairly new
electric elevator up to the second
floor, he'd find himself In wide
hall, running the length of the
White House. He'd see the IA
moust old black horsehair chairs
and sofas which were used in his
living room by President Lincoln.
At the end of the hall at the west
he'd see a businesslike office used
by Mrs. Coolidge's social secretaries,
and back of this room he'd find the
presidents own study, much NOR in
formal and personal than the one

United Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. rs. - Al
though President Coolidge ener-
geticaIly has opposed the plan to
hasten construction of the new
cruisers, Republican leaders in Con-
gress say he will not veto the bill
on that account.
They are going ahead with their
plan to build five cruisers q year
for the next three years, as pro-
vided by the pending bill.
Coolidge has only one outstand-
ing friend for his plan to authorize
cruiser construction with no time
limit.
His one defender. Senator Borah
of Idaho, is planning to introduce
an amendment which will force a
vote on the issue in the senate.
Foes Start Drive Today
Leaders say only opponents Of
the bill will vote for the amend
ment and they expect to defeat 1t
easily.
The opposition Is expected to.
launch its long delayed fight
against the bill in full force today.
The sole dissenting speaker thus
far Is Borah, who succeeded In ar
ranging for adoption of an amend
ment expressing the sense of con-
gress that maritime law should be
codified before the international
disarmament conference meets IN
1881. ......
The. senate leaders accepted it
because it viii have no binding eff
feet unless the President chooses to
call an international conference
for the purpose,
Vote Expected Soon
Coolidge has indicated he con-
siders the plan too idealistic for
fruition, although Secretary of State
Kellogg has announced his support
of the proposal.
The final vote is predicted before
the end of next week.
The only other important mat
ter scheduled for the day was con-
sideration of the Walsh report by
the senate public lands committee.
The house took its usual week
end recess. being up with its cafen-
dar OF business. ~
