HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland
June 25.-The Southern Cross, land
ed at Harbor Grace flying field at
a. m. central standard time). The
crew is sleeping today, recuper-
ating before they start for New York
to complete their flight from Ire
land.
Captain Charles E. Kingsford-
Smith and his three companions left
word to be called at p. m. when
they will have had about seven
hours sleep.
They were expected to start early
Thursday morning in their mono
plane, refueled and replenished with
supplies which awaited them here
The four f1iers, although COM
pletely done in by the terrific strain
they had undergone during the
night, when they flew blind for
hours in the vicinity of Newfound-
land, unable to get their bearings
otherwise were in good physical
shape.
Too Tired to Talk
They were too tired to talk much,
however, and after preliminary
congratulations at the landing field,
we're taken at once to the hotel and
to bed. Rooms were awaiting

companions, Evert Van Dyk, CO.
pilot; j. Patrick Saul, navigator,
and John Stannage, radio operator.
The Southern Cross made a safe
landing after 81 hours IS minutes
in the air, having traversed 2,190
miles from Port Marnock beach,
near Dublin.
Twenty hours of the Southern
Cross flight across the Atlantic was
through fog. Only their we'll
equipped radio, which got, until
near the end, directions from ships,
keeping the plane on its course.
Strong headwinds bothered the
fliers for a great part of the jour
ney.
Only Stars Visible
Nothing was visible all the way
across the Atlantic except two stars
sighted early Tuesday night. Heavy
clouds obscured the sky and the
ships with which the avistors talked
were obscured by fog and clouds.
When about five hundred miles
off Newfoundland the flierS found
their compass failing, which pre-
viously had correspondent with the
directional course given by wireless.
Then they we're lost, and believed
that they flew in circles for hours,
their only guidance being such di-
rectional instructions as they re-
ceived from Cape Race.
100 Miles OFF Coast
The f1iers thought they were over
land during four hours of blind
flying. When daylight broke, they
discovered they we're about 100 miles
from the Newfoundland coast with
out knowledge of their position
They headed for land, with only
occasional glimpses of headlandS
through breaks in the fog.
Heading blindly inland, they tried
to find Harbor Grace, which they
actually passed over without seeing
flew westward and circled for an
hour.
Returning, with hope almost
abandoned, they sighted the port
and descended.

Consul ming innumerable
cigarets, Schroeder faced
questioning by Stark, de-
tective John Stump, detective
Clarence Colder, Deputy
Sheriff Roland Snider and
Deputy Prosecutor George
Eggleston, calmly.
He retold, in some parts, the story
given to Mobile authorities, that he
picked up hitch higher in leav-
ing the Speedway races, that the
hitch higher died when Schroeder
fell asleep at the wheel of the Cal
west of Terre Haute and the car
went into ditch, and that he
burned the car after driving back
toward Indianapolis because he
feared accusation of murder.
When questions came too fast
Schroeder took refuge in the reply
81 refer you to my former state
ment."
During the morning, in the court
of Justice of the Peace Edward L.
Dietz, Schroeder's attorney fought
dismissal of arson charges against
his client and indicated that, when
Schroeder is arraigned in municipal
court three Thursday morning on
the murder charge, which was filed
against him today, he will waive ar
raignment and then petition for q
writ Of habeas corpus.
Thousands Watch for Prisoner
Intense public interest in the
torch car mystery was manifested
as Schroeder was led from the coun-
ty Jail to the justice of peace court.
Two thousand persons blocked the
alley and clambered on to automo-
biles and poles for glimpse at the
Mobile (Ala) business man, who has
admitted firing his automobile with
it's cargo of the body Of man he
claims was a hitch-hiker killed in
an automobile accident in which
Schroeder's car figured. Mounted
police were called to clear lane
through which Schroeder and his
guards passed.
Schroeder was calm throughout
the morning, manifeSting interest in
the court proceedings and joking
with officers and officials.
Jokes With Officers
"You know you remind me of a
friend of mine in Iowa." he said
to Prosecutor Stark after the hear
ing in the court, and as he was
being taken to Stavk's Office for grill
ling to break down his story.
Advised oy Attorney Holmes not
to "say word unless I am there,
Schroeder was expected by officials
to prove a difficult subject to cross
examine.

filed in municipal court three this
morning, and would seek a writ Of
habeas corpus to release Schroeder
on this charge, when the arraign-
ment is held Thursday morning.
Delay in bringing Schroeder into
Justice Dietz's court this morning
aroused the ire of the justice. He
threatened at one time to issue con-
tempt of court citations against
Sheriff George Winkler and police
officials unless Schroeder was pro-
duced Immediately for arraignment.
SLAVES OFF Mustache
During the interval Schroeder was
taken to the police Bertillon depart

measured. He objected to being
photographed and to signing his
name to the fingerprint chart card
after it was completed.
He submitted after long argu-
ment with police.
Schroeder's weight had been given
in descriptions as ITS to 100 pounds.
Police figures today proved he
weighs 156 pounds. He had shaved
off the mustache he wore when
captured in Mobile.
Schroeder was led from the Jail
to police headquarters by Winkler.
Newspaper men, with cameras hid
den behind parked cars, took several
shots" at Schroeder, who ducked
whenever he was aware he was in
line with the cameras range.
Defense Being Organized
That defense is being organized
intensively at Mobile to protect him
in his fight against the arson charge
and his probable battle against a
murder charge for alleged Staying
of the man whose charred body was
found in Schroeder's blazing car

While Attorney T. Ernest Maholm
waited in an outer room at the
county Jail to see Schroeder, John

Ryan, Ruckelshaus 81 Ryan, asked
for conference with Schroeder.
Maholm declared he had been
called by long distance telephone by
r. A. Mcmahon, foreman of Schroe-
der's Mobile radiator shop, and was
told to confer with Schroeder.
Meanwhile, Schroeder, awake in
his cell, paced it leisurely, facing.
later in the day, intensive grilling
to break down his story. He clings
to the assertion the charred body
found in his blazing car on the
High School road, May 81, is that
OF hitch mixer, who was killed ac-
cidentally when Schroeder, falling
asleep at the wheel west of Terre
Haute, permitted the car to 20 into
a ditch. Schroeder declares he fired
the car to burn the body, fearing
accusation of murder.
The county grand jury today re-
sumed consideration of the torch
car mystery case with a view to a
possible indictment of Schroeder on
murder charges. Identity of the
torch car victim has not been de-
termined.

Schroeder was placed in the
Marion county jail at lbs this
morning when Sheriff Winkler, De-
tective Jack Stump and Deputy
