TWO AMERICAN WOMEN
ARE MURDERED IN CHINA

The husbands of the women
were absent, and it was believed
that the murders were committed
by a servant who had been dis
charged. No arrests have been
made, however.
The women were Seventh Day
Adventist missionaries. Earlier mes
Sages from Yunan-Fu had said two
unidentified American women had
been killed in rioting during "a
coup d'etat," which was not men
toned in the later dispatches.

From a doctor aboard the Sagona,
the United Press learned that Sar-
gent held very little hope for the
survival of Frissell and Penrod.
Sargent, the doctor said, talked
but little Tuesday night but said
today that he remembered speak
ing to Frissell ten minutes before
the explosion. FriSsell had a book
in his hand and appeared to be
ready to settle into his bunk to
read before going to sleep. He was
in a~happy mood, Sargent said.
Ice LnnpedeS Progress
Penrod had gone to his bunk
half an hour before the explosion.
Sargent never saw either of the
men again. Their quarters we're
in the part of the ship torn to
pieces by the blast.
Sargent was making good prog
ress today. the doctor reported. He
was slightly blinded by the ice and
suffered wounds in his scalp ana
numerous bruises.
The change in the weather on
the northeast coast increased the
difficulty of getting food and sup
plies to the Viking survivors and
their injured skipper, Captain
Abram Kean Jr., who reached
Horse island. The outside fringe
of the ice pack broke up rapidly
and made travel over the ice i'm
possible even for able bodied men.
Fishermen along the st. John
section of the coast. made frantic
efforts to haul boats over the ice,
but were forced to give up when
the ice began to drift and progress
was impossible.
Rough Sea Hampers Rescue
The ice pack was too rough even
for the travel of light hauling boats
Volunteers from the rescue ships
Ungava and Beothic prepared to
make dash across the breaking ice
to Horse Island with supplies for
the survivors unless the ships were
able to make their way through
the ice.
One hundred thirty men aboard
the Viking had been accounted for,
either at Horse Island on aboard
rescue ships.
Owners of the vessel said orig
inally that 143 men were aboard at
the time of the explosion, but it
later was reported that the num-
Der might have been increased to
1856 by the addition of men who
jumped aboard as the vessel was
leaving its pier.

Challenged by Attorney

Where did you get the informa-
ton that the rifle team was not
shooting Thursday, Sept. 1872"
Colonel Henley told me this, and
that is why we selected Thursday to
get married"
"A moment ago you said you did
not want to marry him. and now
you say you deliberately selected
the date" Christian challenged.
Il intended TO marry him until
he began to talk to me about mar
rying secretly and wanted to use
the name of William or George"
you wouldn't let him use a false
first name, but still he signed the
license Grant didn't he?."
His name is Grant" Mrs. Hen
ley said.
she also testified that Henley
told her he was $4,000 in debt.
Can Not Tel Age
HE said he was paying the in
debtedness, and would have it paid
in two years in the adjutant-gen-
erals office" she testified.
Mrs. Henley could not tell Chris
tian her age, but said she married
once before, at the age of fifteen.
Finally, as Christian insisted, she
said she was either thirty-siX or
thirty seven.
A deposition from Dr. Mary Car
penter, who said she met Henley
with Mrs. Henley in Toledo, said
that Mrs. Henley before the we'd
ding wrote daily to the adjutant-
general at Camp Perry, and one day
talked with him over long distance
telephone for six hours.
With none of the nervousness dis
played on her first appearances in
Marion county courts in her efforts
to force the adjutant- general to &C
knowledge her as his wife, Mrs.
Henley was composed when the
hearing before Judge Arthur C.
Van Duyn began today.
Dressed modishly in black, with
a touch of white in her close-fit-
ting black hat, she took the wit
ness stand confidently to continue
her battle against Henley's denial
OF their alleged marriage at Toledo.
Henley Takes Stand
Specifically, she is seeking a linz
tied divorce with 5000 for attorneys
fees and 5000 monthly support
money.
Henley first was called to the
stand to testify he receives $4,000
annually as acknowledgement and an
added $500 as drill pay as lieuten-
ant in the reserve corps. This, he
said, is all he receives. He was not
crosS-questioned by Mrs. Henley's
attorneys, Sidney Horn and Edward
Little, Indianapolis.
Under their questioning, Mrs.
Henley related that after she and
Henley we're married he gave her
5000 month for several months,
then $3.50, and, last November. SITS,
tho last money she has received
from him.
Then Henley's attorney, Chris
tan, who is associated with
Garrett Olds and John Becker,
cross examined her. dwelling on the
question of her residence at the
time the alleged marriage certificate
was obtained at Toledo.
Over objections of her attorneys,
Mrs. Henley admitted she had given
her residence as Detroit when the
license was issued.
do you claim to be the wife OF
Manford Grant Henley?" asked
Christian.
Il know 1 am" Mrs. Henley re-
piled without faltering.
