Lieutenant G. o. Perry, pilot.
Observer Will Attend
Colonel John S. Fishback, Indiana
representative of the National Aero

Following the refueling the F1aln-
lingo will return to Indianapolis to
continue the fight.
The yellow monoplane left the
ground at 1904 a. m. today, accom-
panied by cheers of several hundred
spectators and honking of automo-
bile horns.
First attempt Of Peck and Genaro
to set a new record ended Tuesday
when their plane ran out of fuel and
was forced to land in cornf1eld
near Knightstown. They had been
in the air seventy-eight hours.
To break the present record Of
420 hours 81 minutes, the plane must
remain in the air until Oct. Z.
The fliers have been requested not
to fly over the city unnecessarily, to
prevent annoying citizens at night.
They probably will keep over the
city at night during fog and storms,
Major H. LeR. Muller, fight man
ager, said.
Peck and Genaro expressed regret
when they learned the Buffalo Eve
ming News endurance plane had
been forced to land because of a
damaged stabilizer, after nearly two
hundred hours in the air.

PEACOCK BURNED BODY AND
ATE WITH WIFE'S MOTHER

count Of the youths oral confession
to him of how he killed his young
wife, Dorothy.
Silverstein Wednesday gave Pea
cox account of the scuff1e in the
apartment, of how he hit her over
the head with the butt Of a re-
volver and then choked her TO stifle
her screams. These acts, the de-
fense says, were done during mo-
ments of insane hatred, but the
state, seeking to send the lean, pal
lid youth to the electric chair, in
sists they were premeditated.
"Peacox told me he drove down
the parkway to the home of his
mother-in-l (Mrs. Alphonse
Heinzlemann of Bronxville) after
leaving the body in the woods,
Captain Silverstein testified today
He said the thought of leaving
the body there preyed upon his
mind. He was afraid it would be
found and identified. So several
days later, on Saturday, I think he
said, he got milk bottle and bought
quart Of kerosene.
Then he went back to the body
and sprinkled the kerosene on it
He said he struck a match and
dropped it on the body and it burst
into flames. He drove to his mother
in-law's home in Bronxville, where
Mrs. HeinzIeman and his Aunt Ida
fixed breakfast for him"
