MYSTERY Wells
WHEREABOUTS OF
MISSING OFFICER

Deep mystery surrounds the disap-
pcarance of Deputy Sheriff Homer
Brackney, stationed at Westmorland
who has failed to return home or
communicate with his family since
Wednesday morning when he came
to FL Centre to draw his salary
check.
According to the sheriff's depart
ment here Brackney arrived at the
county jail about 10 0 clock Wednes-
day morning and as has been his
custom, cashed the check in the
treasurer s office. That has been
the last seen of him.
Justice of the Peace Cook of West
morland, who was here today, stat
ed that Brackney's affairs in West
morland are in good shape and that
his family can give no reason or
even suggestion why the officer
should absent himself from home.
According to Judge Cook the Off
Ger followed a regular routine on
pay days coming to FL Centric, draw
ing his money in cash and paying
his current bills in Brawley before
returning home.
Brackney is said to be a man of
good habits, does not drink and has
been a man of excellent standing in
the Westmorlaad~ community for
years. He is married and has three
I children.
The sheriff's department has bent
every effort to trace the movements
of the missing officer but so far have
been unsuccessful. Brackney dld
not show up in Brawley to pay his
current bills.
The only theory expressed is that
Brackney gave someone a lift along
the road in his car and that he was
hijacked.

Ancient Galleys
Slowly Emerging
From Lake Nemi
BY FRANCISCO REA
njfe5 Press S4Gff EorrecOond

ROME, May 8. U.R) - Visitors to
Lake Nemi today were able to see
the upper part Of the larger of the
galleys On which more than 10 cen
turies ago the profligate Emperor
Caligula and his court of favorites
spent their summer evenings.
Although about Is feet of water
still hid the lower part of the galley
from the sight of archaeologists
working to recover the ancient craft,
the luxury and magnificence of the
imperial pleasure boats were indicat-
ed by the few objects which have
been found already.
A terra Gotta slab, apparently part
of the richly laid deck floor on which
slave girls once danced for the
pleasure of Caligula, was found near
the larger craft. The whole stern
now stands out above the water, re-
markably preserved in spite Of the
centuries of submersion, with copper
nails and lead plates holding the tim
bers together.
Traces of insulating asbestos were
found between the plates and the
wood, obviously meant as protec-
tion for the wood.

FINNEY REQUESTS
JURY TO ACT IN
CILLETT CASE
Court Says Fairness To
Accused And Public Re-
quires Action.

Declaring that immediate action
Of some sort is necessary in the
charges made last year against
Sheriff Charles l.. Gillett, Judge A.
c. Finney this morning summoned
the grand jury to his court and urg-
ed that report on the case be
brought in at the earliest possible
moment.
Nearly year ago the last grand
jury brought in 220 indictments and
l72 accusations, against the sheriff,
making several charges against him.
Most of the indictments and accusa
tions covered similar charges.
Today Judge Fnney, who had
previously ruled that only four in
dictments and four accusations
would stand up if brought to trial,
told the grand jury in brief and
to the point statement to speed up
action on the matter and either
bring in true bills or no bill.
Judge Finney told the grand jury
that more than $4,000 Of the tax
payers money had already been
spent in investigating the sheriff S
office and that for the benefit OF
sheriff Gillett as we'll as for the
public immediate action should be
taken one way or the other.
1t was on July 9th, 1928, that the
grand jury brought in the indict
ments and accusations charging
Sheriff Gllett with various and
sundry misdemeanors and crimes il
office. The sheriff through his at
torneys demurred and Judge FinneS
then ruled that only four indict
ments and four accusations hac
sufficient merit for trial.
District Attorney Elmer Healt
was reluctant to bring the cases t.
! trial and it is understood that upol
the suggestion of Judge Finnev tina
Heald dismissed the indictments an(
accusations asking that the matte
be resubmitted to the grand jury
This was on November ., 1928.
Since then the grand jury had tn
charges under investigation but n
report of any kind has been mad
since the matter was resubmittcd t
them. 1t was said that scvera
weeks ago the grand jury had tax
on up several phases of the matte
but no report was made.
The action of Judge Finncv toda.
in calling the grand jury in sessioi
was to attempt to settle the cas-
! definitely and to stop the expense
incidental thereto.

habeas corpus for the release of the
former district attorney from the
county Jail where he is now held

charges.
