MYSTERY
DEEPENS
Comrades Believe Mail
Pilot Perished During
Snow Storm
PLANES LOG FOUND
All Mail Reported To Be
Intact In Usual Sealed
Compartment.

LOS ANGELES, June 90. U.D-
A gesture typical of the aviator
who is credited with finding the
famous Lost Battalion during the
World War was made by Maury
Graham before he turned from his
wrecked mail plane in a Utah noun
tain snowstorm last January in an
apparent futile attempt to reach
civilization.
While Western Air Express head
quarters today ordered continuation
of the search to find Graham's
body in the wild mountain country
around Cedar City, Utah, they held
the last message Graham wrote in
fulfillment of his duties as an air
mail pilot--a notation in his planes
log.
January 11-Arrived 2:35 q. m.
No destination" was the terse sent.
ence Graham entered in his little
book before he abandoned the plane
to fight the snow drifts.
The log was found by Jimmy
James, one of Graham's partners in
Western Air Mail pioneering. who
inspected the partially wrecked
plane on a mountainside ledge in
Crystal Gulch.
James telephoned to Western Air
headquarters here after he noted
all details of the crash.
''The mail was all safe-as dry
as when it left the post office"
James was quoted as saying. "Not
a piece registered to Maury at Los
Angeles or Las Vegas, New, was
missing"
May Have Hit Head
James said that a dent in the
cowling of the cockpit indicated
Graham's head might have struck
it hard blow when the plane
crashed into the snow and brush
covered ledge, badly damaging a
wing.
Then, according to the picture
reconstructed by James, Graham
neatly piled his parachute by the
side of the plane, placed his tool
kit on the seat and struck out for
safety after assuring himself the
mail was safe in steel locker.
The wreckage disclosed that
Graham had taken kit bag con-
tanning five days. provisions and
two flares. What happened to him
after that was not known but av-
iators believe he must have perish
ed in the desolate mountain coun-
try.
Graham, who made a noteworthy
record as a World War flyer includ-
ed among his acts the discovery of
the Lost Battalion. He made sever
al trips over the distressed unit
to drop supplies.
He disappeared on the night of
January 10 after refueling at Las
Vegas, New, and starting the final
lap of his Los Angeles to Salt Lake
City in binding snow storm.

lover" confessed before the grand
jury to the Staying eight years ago

ufacturer, in an attempt to save
the widow, Mrs. Walburga Oester-
reich, he testified today at his trial

he could carry on a clandestine love
affair with Mrs. Oesterreich.

"drummed" him, he said was Her
man Shapiro, attorney, formerly
counsel for Mrs. Oesterreich, the
man whose grand jury testimony led
TO the indictment recently of both
Sanhuber and Mrs. Oesterreich on
murder charges. Mrs. Oesterreich h
will be tried later.
"When | first told Attorney Sha-
piro the truth-that / was lying
in fear in the attic and heard the
shot that killed Fred but did not
have anything to do with the kill
ing myself, Shapiro told me that it
was story that never would be be-
lieved," Sanhuber testified.
"Shapiro told me that the only
story that the district attorney and
IA jury would believe would be a
story of self defense. lie told me
/ should admit the killing but say
that it had been because / inter
ferred in domestic quarrel and
that Fred started attacking me.
"For n whole night and day, At
torney Shapiro stood over me in
that attic coaching me and drum
ming it into me just what l was to
say and do if l ever was arrested"
81 told him | would do anything
to save Dolly (Mrs. Oesterreich)
from being prosecuted for the mur-
der. | told him l wanted to go to
the proper authorities and tell them
that | knew that at the time the
shots were fired she was standing
trembling in her bedroom closet,
separated from my attic chamber
by only a thin wall"

until an agreement has been reach
ed between California, Nevada and
Arizona for distribution of the

A vote on tho Hayden amend
ment was expected some time today

has been agreed upon.
Hayden said congress had indi'
Gated the kind of agreement that
should be made between the states
and the administration should dc
everything it could to carry out
the requirements of the act.
Instead of this, he said, the ad'
ministration has done nothing to
bring about Il settlement of the con
troversy and that is why Arizona
has had to appeal to congress.
Hayden declared that at the
Washington conference betw g G II
the states which opened last June,
a gentleman's agreement has been
reached whereby California would
not ask for Boulder dam appropria-
tions and the secretary of interior

of this medicine until they were
able to eat almost anything they
wanted without the least bit of
trouble or bad after-effects. Take
myself, before I used it I was sick
about half of my time and I
often remarked that g I did not
soon find something to help me
I would soon be unable to eat
any solid food myself, my stomach
hurt no matter what I ate, I
could not sleep o. account of
the pains and often when I would
lie down I felt as though ! was
going to choke, strong laxativeS
that I used kept me feeling weak
and upset and yet failed to help
or correct the constipation. This
medicine proved to be just the
remedy for my conditi n and I
think it is the greatest I ever
used. Three bottles relieved me

MORE BOYS

Marked increase in the number
of juvenile prohibition violators
in the National Training School
for Boys was shown yesterday by
Claude D. Jones, superintendent,
who reported 8s boys ranging from
IL to 90 years confined there for
such offenSes.
Mr.. Jones is compiling statistics
to show the part prohibition is
playing in the life Of the nations
youth. He traces the increase in
the number of juvenile violators
to the failure Of adults to set an
example of respect for the law.
Records show that IL boys were
committed during 1928 for violat-
ing prohibition laws, and 19 in
1929. The 88 youths now in the
