ROCKPORT, Ind, Oct. 29.-With
signatures of more than 1000 Spen-
Ger county citizens to a petition and
aided by auxiliary petitions from his
home town, Anderson, attorneys for
James o. Pattie, 68, school teacher
and lawyer, sought his parole today
from the Indiana state prison, where
he is serving life sentence on a
murder charge.
Pattie, now convict 1887, will ap-
pear Thursday before the prison
board of trustees for parole.
But despite a multiplicity of senti-
ment asserting he was sentenced un-
justly in Spencer county during The
heydey of the Ku-Klux khan, rumors
are current that determined oD-
position to prevent clemency will be
made.
Joseph M. huntington, klansman,
who now is serving a sentence in
the federal penitentiary for COM
plicity in an auto thefe ring, was
a daily visitor at Pattie's trial.
Huffington's interest, it is said in
Spencer county, was due to the
militant talks Pattie made against
the klans dominance in Spencer
county politics.
Pattie was sentenced to prison
May Is, 1927, for Staying Percy VIII

Although the defense argued that

to avoid a quarrel with his tenant,
a jury returned a verdict Of guilty
of second-degree murder. q
The quarrels between them that
ended IN tragedy were over trivial
farm affairs-a tobacco patch and
the grazing of mules.
Robert Armstrong, Evansville at
torney, was employed as special
prosecutor to try Pattie.
Attorneys for Pattie, following his
conviction, presented a motion for
new trial. They alleged miscon-
duct on the part of the jury bailif
by asserting the jury's door was left
open during deliberations. The mo-
ton was oyerruled.
Interviewed regarding the grant
ing of clemency by an Evansville
reporter, Armstrong said: IT want
you to know right now that I'm
writing to the Governor tonight and
am going to do all I can to keep
that damned murderer behind the
bars the rest of his life 1t was
the damndest, blackest murder in

The Madison County Bar Associa-

investigated the conviction, and
maintain Pattie was sentenced un-
justly at a time when minds were
prejudiced and the khan had un-
clipped wings"

BIZ Hitcd Press
KENOSHA, Wis, Oct. 29.-The
second big shipwreck on Lake Michi-
gar within week claimed eight
lives today while coast guardsmen
fought their way through noun
famous waves to save sixty-six
others from the forty-year-old
steamer Wisconsin after it had
floundered in storm thirteen miles
off the coast.
Among the rescued brought to
hospitals here twenty were suffering
from severe injuries.
True to the traditions of the sea,
Captain Hugo Morrison of the Wis
conSin went down with his ship.
Coast guardsmen, fighting tower
ing waves, drove their boats along
side the sinking liner and took off
as many as they could of the crew
of sixty and several passengers.
Others were taken from lifeboats
ana two were pulled out of the wa
ter after a lifeboat bearing fifteen
had capSized.
The Wisconsin, an old boat plying
between Chicago and Milwaukee,
radioed an o S at 11:3O p. M, tell
ing it was in distress. At 2:40 a. m.
the Radio Corporation OF America
picked up message stating the fire
hold of the craft was flooded and
that she was in immediate danger.
Hold on, help is coming" the op-
orator radioed ack.
BY that time aid was being rushed
to the sinking liner from half
dozen points. The Kenosha and Ra-
cine coast guard stations had sent
their crews into the storm. The Illi-
nOis, sister ship of the Wisconsin,
although herself disabled by the
storm, was on the way from Racine
Twelve or fifteen other survivors
were picked up later today by the

FEAR ; HAVE
LOST LIVES IN
AIR DISASTER
Western Express Liner Is
Missing "a Hours in
Waste Lands.
T. A. T. REPETITION SEEN
Bad Flying Weather Holds
Up General Search
for Plane.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.-As the
twenty-fourth hour passed today
with no word from a Western Air
Express liner, lost near the New
Mexico-Arizona border line, fear
was expressed here that the bad
lands of the southwest might be
responsible for another great air
tragedy.
The plane with its two passengers
and crew of three was last seen
Monday morning as it flew over
Adamana, Ariz., 160 miles west OF
Albuquerque, it's destination.
The region in which the plane
presumably was forced down is the
same IN which the search for the T
A. T. liner, City of San Francisco
wa sconducted about six weeks ago
The T. A. T. ship, with eight per-
sons dead, was found wrecked on the
side of Mount Taylor in New
Mexico after a search that lasted
more than week.
Bad flying weather in the vicinity
of Albuquerque today was delaying
a general search for the missing
airplane. A fog was reported
throughout New Mexico and eastern
Arizona. East and south of Albu-
querque bad weather also prevailed.
All western air traffic was held
up and the planes of the T. A. It.
line also were not flying passengers.
Fears that the missing plane had
run into severe weather was in
creased with news that the west
bound T. A. T. plane Monday after
noon was forced off it's route to the
north by heavy snow storm near
Blue Water, N. M, but negotiated
the schedule to Los Angeles.

TRADERS CALM
IN STOCK CRASH
Wild Confusion Lacking on
Exchange Floor.

Z NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Although
trading proceeded more swiftly than
ever today, the scene on the floor
of the New York Stock Exchange
was no more confused than it has
been on many other days, according
to veteran traders.
No brokers were tearing their hair,
no one was running wildly about.
Rather, the scene was one Of 5000
alert but composed men-all in
more or less constant motion, all
talking at the same time in raised
voices.
What they we're saying, whether
they were battling to rally the mar
ket or trying to drive it lower, an
observer from the gallery could not
tell. Their voices joined in one
great din that echoed and re-echoed
from the sides of the block-square
trading room and from the skylightS
four stories above.
Occasionally a shout rose above
the roar. Half dozen brokers
rushed to the side of the man who
uttered it. Then a few jots on slips
Of paper. And deals involving per-
haps millions of dollars were con-
cluded.
There was little room to spare on
the floor. Traders who had not been
there for months have returned to
help their houses through the most
trying days in the nations specula-
tive history.
