MEANS INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
ON FOUR COUNTS
Former Federal Officer
Accused OF Swindling
Mrs. M'Lean.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-(U.H-
CASTOR B. Means was indicted by
a federal grand jury today on two
charges growing out of his strange
operations in connection with the
Lindbergh kidnapping case.
The first charge alleges he en-
bezzled 100000 given him by Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean with which
to pay the ransom for the Lind
bergh child
The second charge is one of lar
ceny after trust. alleging the lar
ceny of the 100000 with which
Mrs. Mclean says she entrusted
Means. Each charge is contained
in separate indictment.
Mrs. Mclean is the wife of Ed
ward B. Mclean, multi-millionaire
publisher of Washington and Gin
cinnati. A society leader of WASH
ington, she is also a multi million
aire in her own rights. She is the
owner of the famous Hope diamond,
reputed omen of ill-fortune.
The indictment was returned as a
result of the grand jury hearing
held last Friday. At that time Mrs.
Mclean, with tXo corroborating
witnesses, told her Story of Means
operations to the jury.
Each charge returned today al
leges that on March z Mrs. Nc
Lean gave Means, former govern
ment agent who gained such wide
notoriety during the Harding ad-
ministration, 100000. She did so,
it is alleged, after Means had rep
resented to her that he knew the
whereabouts of the child and its
kidnapers and could obtain it's re-
turn.
Larceny Charge
A second count in each indict-
ment charges the larceny or the
embezzlement of $4,000 expense
money advanced him by Mrs. Nc
Lean.
The government, represented by
Leo A. Rover, United States attor-
ney for the District of Columbia,
is expected to try Means first on
the charge of the larceny after
trust The charge in that indict-
ment says that he was entrusted
with the possession of 100000, the
property of Evalyn Walsh Mclean,
and while SO possessed, enormously,
unlawfully and fraudulently con-
verted the same to his own use".
The embezzlement indictment
charges that Means was acting as
attorney, agent, clerk and serv-
ant" for Mrs. Mclean and while SO
employed was entrusted with money
and that he did enormously and
fraudulently make away with and
secrete the same with intent to
convert it to his own use and
thereby and then and there did
embezzle".

Cave-In Takes
LabOrer's Life

STOCKTON, May 10. (U.R-
Buried when caught in cave-in,
one man was killed and two seri-
ously injured here today on the
Stockton wharf project. They were
freed from the tons of earth which
imprisoned them by a steam shovel
which worked more than an hour.
The dead man was Thomas
Jester, 81, of Stockton. He was
crushed to death.
The injured were Roy Palmer,
26, Stockton, and E. Seabloom, 80,
Turlock.
The men were working in a
30-foot pit, part of the project.
Without warning, witnesses said,
the sides caved in, trapping the
three.
Jester was squeezed to death,
while Palmer and Seabloom, partly
protected from the weight OF
earth by a concrete pipe in the pit,
escaped with their lives.

VERSAILLES, France, May To-
Albert LeBrun, 60-year-old presi-
dent of the senate, was elected
president of France on the first
ballot in succession to the murder
ed Paul Doumer.
The Versailles palace where the
senate and chamber, sitting as a
national assembly, held the election
was heavily guarded by thousands
of troops as precautions against
any outbreak of violence.
The official result of the ballot
was LeBrun 639; Paul Faure, So
cialist, IA; Marcel M. Kachin,
Communist, 8; blanks, 49.
The election proceeded in good
order and was the calmest in his
tory as a tribute to Douner.
Forty electors dropped blank bal
lots, preferring not to vote for Le-
Brun after meeting of Radical
Socialist deputies and Left Demo-
VI dUlC LliS ooiiOAoJ liz"
ever, voted for him. The Socialists,
as a body cast 100 votes for Paul
Faure.
The voting for Faure was merely
a gesture, as he is parliamentary
unknown defeated for reelection
last Sunday. He is secretary of the
Socialist party.
Several Communists presented an
unharmonious note in the formal
assembly, wearing blue overalls and
work shirts in contrast to LeBruns
impeccable full dress.
One incident marred the calm
when Deputy Francois Buorgaud
twice slapped the face of Deputy
Maurice Violette. Both are Repub-
lican Socialists. Bourgaud was de-
feated for reelection at Morlaix
poster to which he attributed his
defeat.
Premier Andre Tardieu was given
an ovation when he voted.
Later a fist fight occurred in the
corridors between Senator Victor
Boret and Deputy Louis Dieri. Dep
uty Louis Sevestre, one-legged
war veteran, was injured when he
was unable to escape the swinging
blows of the combatants and was
knocked down.
LeBrun did not vote when his
name was called Pierre Laval, for
mer premier, was given a warm
ovation.
The election was compiled with
almost record speed.
LeBrun's election as 14th presi-
dent of the Third Republic was
proclaimed by Fernand Rabier,
president of the senate, as soon
as the voting ended
LeBrun will serve for seven years.

PECOS, Texas, May 12.-U.P-
The Akron passed over Pecos at
12:45 p. m. (MST) today, flying
low and slowly.
The huge craft disappeared into
the clouds over the dangerous
Davis mountains. At it's present
rate of speed it should reach Ell
Paso, 213 miles west, at approxi-
mately 4:30 p. m. (MST).
To the west of here, where the
dirigible must top the 7000-foot
ridges Of the Sierra Diablo and the
Guadalupe mountains, the clouds
were hanging low and the visibility
was poor.
The craft passed through a hard
rain here at an altitude of about
1900 feet. All motors appeared to
be operating perfectly.
The Akron was following the
route of the Texas and Pacific rail-
way.
Dryden, Texas, May 10.-U.D
Through clearing skies, the navy's
giant dirigible, the Akron, moved
westward today-behind her night
of terror.
Mild thunderstorms, diminish
ing in intensity, still were reported
within her path as she moved along
the Rio Grande toward El Paso
soon after daybreak, but belief was
general among weather observers
that the severe electrical storm of
the night was safely passed.
Lieut.. Comdr. G. E. Rosendahl,
radioing for reports, was given rea-
son to hope that the worst was
over, and apparently had decided
to continue the flight.
The Akron pointed her silver nose
toward Del Rio, border town some
80 miles south of here, and was
expected to continue from there to
Ell PaSo.
Dangerous weather followed the
huge ship from shortly after sun
down last night until sunrise today.
ThunderStorms broke around her
as she appeared over San Antonio,
but her officers turned northwest
ward in an effort to run around the
storms, and continued on their
course.
More trouble was in store.
The storms grew in intensity All

"Who-wilo-is she?"
She could feel the heavy throbbing
of his heart against her own.
"She's my 49,. wife . Diana"
CHAPTER XVII
Diana's arm fell from Rathbone's
shoulder, and for a moment she lay
quite still, her mind blank, her body
limp; then with a swift movement
she slipped from his arms, falling
back help1essly onto the seat behind
her.

eyes, SIR"
Presently they were alone again,
driving through the quiet roads.
Rathbone had not turned in the di-
rcction of the cottage, but Diana
hardly noticed; she sat beside him,
lost in kind of stupor.
Rosa1ie was his wife; that meant
eternal separation; she could not find
room for any other thought in her
bewildered mind.
Presently they were out in the coun-
try in narrow road with trees over
head and hedges on either side; the
lights of the car lamps threw each
separate object into glaring relief be-
| fore it swirled past them again into
blackness.
Diana had let the window down,
and the cool air, sweet from its flight
over fields and valleys, blew on her
tired face, reviving her little.
The quiet hum of the engine seemed
to be saying the same thing to her
over and over again:
"She's his wife she's his wife
| SllC Ills WlICb Iii ollC ASAl lAot
she must cry out in protest.
Then Ratlbone drew the car to the
roadside, and stopped.
For a moment he sat silent at the
wheel then he asked:
"Will you believe what I am going
to tell you, Diana"
She moved her head in list1ess as
sent.
"Oh, yes"
His quiet voice was little shaken
as he went on:
"First l want you to know that !
love you with all my heart and soul
and that I should count myself the

Love which, even if you caught up with
it, never gave you any real peace or
satisfaction, but only turned to rend
you.
"I'll never believe in anyone again
as long as live" Diana cried, passion
ately, and covering her face with her
hands she began to sob.

averted. He could see that Diana was
