COURT Holds
ACCIDENT Was
UNAVOIDABLE

Charges OF negligent homicide
against Mastin Crockett. 16, San
Benito, resulting from A. c. Longs
death in a traffic accident on the
Military highway near Carricitos
Saturday were dismissed. Friday
morning by Judge A. M. Kent Of
the juvenile court.
The judge held Longs death re-
suited from an unavoidable accident,
despite the states allegation Of negli-
gent homicide.
Speed Undetermined.
The state failed to make out its
case. II alleged the youth, a direct
descendent Of David Crockett, was
driving over As miles an hour at the
time OF the fatal accident. None Of
the states witnesses was able to
estimate the speed OF the ear, nor
ger any OF them able to state that
young Crockett was actually driving
the car.
Three men residing IN the immedi-
ate vicinity OF the wreck testified
for the state. Two were ey-e-witnesSes
to the wreck.
w. H. Crockett. father OF the boy,
testified the youth had never been
IN an accident before and that he
was but Is years Of age.
Photos Shown.
He also demonstrated pictures he
had taken in the vicinity Of the
fatal accident tending to show that
even a prudent" driver might have
an accident at that particular place.
Three men took the stand and
testified that the bypath from which
Long walked onto the highway was
shielded by heavy brush and that
II was practically impossible to see
a man walking off this path uA.il
he was actually on the highway.
They also stated there was a curve
in the road which made the spot
wen more dangerous.
Long died almost instantly when
struck by the ear Saturday after
noon.

BALLOON DATA

GURGL, Tyrol, Austria, May 80
GN.SO Already considering a
second flight to the far heavens
above the earth, Prof. Auguste Pic
card, the first man to reach an
altitude of approximately 10 miles,
today intended to work out scien-
tific calculations based on observa-
tions made during his epic flight.
Although Prof. Picard, who
was accompanied on his flight by
DR.. Charles Kipfer, has made a
number of statements regarding
the possible scientific valIe of his
observations, he refused to COM
nit himself definitely until given
the opportunity to study his notes
and instruments.
Prof. Picard recOunted that
the flight almost came to grief
shortly after it left the ground.
A swinging rope dented The
aluminium gondOl: sufficiently to
allow the seepage of air into the
compartment. Although he and
DIR. Kipfer plugged the tiny open
ing with petroleum jelly and cot
ton, they were uncOmfOrtably
aware of it all the while they were
in the rarified regions of the air.

ANTI FASC|STS
GET % YEARS

MILAN, Italy, May 80 G,N.SO
Ernesto Rossi, professor of eco
nomics at the University of Milan,
and Ricardo Bauer, a prominent
merchant, today were found
guilty of spreading anti-Fascist
propaganda and sentenced to 20
years imprisonment.
VincenzO Calaci, an engineer,
and Roberto BernardinO, a sales
man, were sentenced to 10 years
in Jail each on similar charges.
GiOrdanO ViezZ0li received a SEN
tence of six years.
Pietro Zari. professor of litera-
ture at Milan University, and
Mariana Damiani, also an engi-
neer, were acquitted.
The seven men were tried for a
so-called intellectual conspiracy"
against the Fascist regime. They
were ordered to trial shortly after
the execution of Michele Schirru,
a naturalized American citizen, on
a charge of plotting against the
life of Premier Benito Mussolini.

Picard Sees Cosn1ic Rays
AS Source of Energy

full of my wife and four chill
dren.
Nevertheless, the Fond Ma
tionale de la Recherche Physique
of Brussels, which financed this
particular balloon ascension, is
planning a second stratosphere
expedition, probably in the fall.
The same balloon will be
used if it is not damaged too
greatly. The balloon will be
transported to Augsburg, Ger
many, where reserve gondola
is available. I still consider
Augsburg as the best starting
place.
The next stratosphere flight
will not have so much gas in
the balloon bag as we took,
which was entirely too much,
and which was one reason why
we could not descend sooner.
The other was the heat in the
valleys.
Failed Einstein
Prof. Albert Einstein begged
me to carry out a number of
measurements in the strato.
sphere-measurements not re-
lated to relativity-but unfor-
tunately I was unable to do
this.
We could have gone up an.
other 900 or 1000 meters, but
we did not want to take un-
necessary risks. We released
only 112 Kilograms of ballast
during the whole flight.
The fact that We reached 49,
600 meters is shown by the
barometer, which registers a
pressure Of 760 millimeters, or
about one-tenth normal atmos-
phere pressure.
The purpose of our expert
ment was t., discover the
strength of the cosmic rays,
and the texture of the air be-
tween the observer and the
stars. Our calculations and
measurements of the mysterious
gamma rays are particularly
valuable.
We also secured other facts
about little known constella-
tions, and we deem these i'm
portant. We secured measure
ments of other unknown rays,
and hope that our calculations
concerning these work out
properly.
