ANN painted
AS Siren AND
GOLD DIGGER
Looking for Rich Indian or
Wealthy Old Man in
1924, Says Witness.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 5.--Another sur
prise witness painted Ann Living
Ston as a, siren and Gold Digger
today as her breach of promise case
against Franklin S. Hardinge
furnace and oil burner man, neared
the end Of its second week.
The witness was William Everett
Logan Of St. Louis.
He quoted Ann as saying she was
looking either for a rich Indian or
wealthy old man" Logan said he
worked in the same department
store in Tulsa with Miss Livingston
in 1924.
Logan said Miss Livingston point
ed out rich Indian, Mike Baden,
in the store and asked him to in
troduce her, because "she was look
ing for bashful, rich Indian"
Logan said he complied with her
wishes and that Baden had several
dates with the hosiery clerk.
On cross examination Logan ad-
nlitted that Baden may have been
q Syrian and that he had no knowl-
edge of a romance between him and
Ann.
Miss Livingston told the United
Press she vaguely recalled Logan
but did recollect the conversation.
Benjamin Enrich, her attorney
drew from Logan that Hardinge had
paid his expenses here from ST.
Louis and that he Logan) had no.
titled Hardinge he knew something
important in the case"
Landlady TestifeS
Asked if he expected to be paid
for his testimony, Logan said, 81
doubt it,
The testimony of the next witness
Mrs. James r. Boyer of Tulsa, pro-
vided half dozen laughs for the
packed courtroom. She was Miss
Livingstons landlady in Tulsa.
On several occasions she def1ed
both defense and plaintiffs lawyers
and answered only on order of Judge
Charles Miller.
Mrs. Boyer said she tried to per-
suade Ann not to come to Chicago
at the time she was to become en-
gagged to Hardinge," but she
wouldn't listen to me"
The landlady testified that Ann
had told her several years ago that
she was engaged to Charles Max, St
Louis publicity mon and that they
were going to be married.
When I tried to keep her from,
going to Chicago" Mrs. Boyer said
Miss Livingston told me she would
marry Mr.. Hardinge and then di-
yorce him soon, getting all the
money she could"
On DISCRIMINATION Mrs. Boyer
said she received 5000 for expenses
to come to Chicago and testify from
Mr.. Boswell, who, Erich contend
ed, is a private detective.
Introduce Surprise Witness
do you think Ann is a nice
girl, Ehlrich queried.
We'll, yes, I guess she is" Mrs.
Boyer said slowly.
do you think she is virtuous?"
Mrs. Boyer hesitated so long in
answering that Ehrlich dismissed
her without an answer.
With Mrs. Beyer's testimony John
BiSsian. HardingeS attorney, rested
his case.
A promised surprise" witness for
Miss Livingston, proved to be Emil
G. Wetten, attorney, who was in
troduced just before the luncheon
adjournment.
Wetten testified that he had told
both Miss Livingston and Hardinge
that the prenuptial agreements
drawn by Hardinge we're in no way
binding.
He said he assured Miss Livings-
ton that they could be broken at
any time and that she replied that
she wanted a contract which would

When Lightning Strikes
Landing Field.

CLEVELAND, O., July 5.-After
outriding one of the most spec
tacular storms of the summer,
Byron K. Newcomb and Roy l..
Mitchell, co-pilots Of the endurance
fight plane, City of Cleveland, to-
day momentarily were facing dis
aster in their battle to set a new
refueling endurance record.
Two holes in the left wing of the
plane are believed to be admitting
water making it difficult to manage.
A badly damaged fuselage also is
causing the aviators some worry and
giving rise to the first doubts as to
its ability to last out the next
eleven hours required to break the
record of 172 hours 81 minutes,
established by Reg Robbins and Jim
Kelly at TT. Worth, Tex, month
ago.
At / p. m. today the two had been
in the air 1853 hours 81 minutes 9
seconds.
Refueling Ship Crashes
While Mitchell and Newcomb are
struggling to remain in the air
ground crew is working furiously to
assemble a new refueling plane at
the Stewart Aircraft Corporation
hangar.
The original refueling plane was
damaged badly in the electrical
storm that struck the city early
Thursday night.
The plane had taken of about
8 .. m. with a load of gas and oil
shortly before the electrical storm
struck
A lightning bolt which struck an
electric feeder line plunged the air
port into darkness and made 1t I'M
possible for the refueling plane to
land after transferring its load of
fuel
The plane landed In a nearby
field. and, after releasing the two
members of the refueling crew. Err
ME Basham. pilot, attempted to fly
it to the airport. 1t crashed on the
takeoff, ripping the undercarriage,
breaking the propeller and damag-
ing it beyond repair.
At an early hour this morning a
ground Grew was still busy trans
forming q, Stinson-Detroiter lent
them by the Thomson Aeronautic
Corporation for the purpose
Meanwhile, the endurance plane
still was droning tirelessly on.
It's motor did not seem to be
affected by the additional strain put
on it by the storm.
Observers reported the motor
could be heard where the plane
cruised approximately 1900 feet
above the airport, and seemed to be
going as strong as the day it took
of.
A note dropped by the aviators
last night gave evidence to the dam
age the storm and refueling con-
facts has done to their plane.
Fliers' Hearing Impaired
"Our fuselage is beaten up pretty
badly from the heavy bags and We
do not wish to refuel any more than
we have to in the rough part Of the
day" one message said.
Both fiers' hearing has been af-
fected by the constant roar of the
motor.
Neither can hear the motor of the
big Stinson-Detroiter now. They
requested those in the refUeling
crew to signal them whether or not
the motor of the plane was still
functioning as it should.
A celebration at the field is sched-
uled for ten minutes after midnight
tonight.
At that time Mitchell and New
comb will have passed the 173-hour
mark necessary to establish an Off
