VICTIM FOUND
IN DEEP WELL

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 5. U.P) -
Gordon H. Sawyer, Southern Ari-
zona bank official who was kid
naped last night as he was about to
enter his home, was found this
morning uninjured at the bottom
of deep we'll, at a vacant house

nix. The kidnapers are believed
to be convicts VINO recently escaped
from the Arizona state prison at
Florence.
Fred J. Stewart, president of the
Southern Arizona Bank and Trust
company, received note this morn
ing demanding a 100000 ransom for
Sawyer. The attempt at ransom

deputies in following closely on the
heels of the abductors and driving
them from the house where they
hoped to conceal Sawyer.

strated last night and this morning
when an intermittent stream of Gu
rious persons poured through Lem
ons undertaking establishment to
view the body.
Officials today had been able to
locate no one who wished TO claim
the body for burial. A telegram
from the police department hcra to
the Florence penitenUiary elected
the information That institution has
no funds to care for burial Of es-
capped convicts. and that the warden
is no longer interested in the case.
Steps to claim for Perkins q gov

were going forward today, and at
the same time an individual co!lec-
ton of appreciation was being taken
up in Ell Centro.
Postmaster G. G. Jenkins and his

Voorhis had felt he had almost
outlived his time. Last July q
when reporters called on him for
his annual birthday interview he
turned to them and said:
Il said the last one would be the

in the Makers hands; we must let
things take their course"
But John Voorhis never was an
old man. Even when his mind
turned back over the intervening
span and he spoke of the farms on
Lower Fifth avenue, of the days
when New York got SO big that 14th
street had to be widened from river
to river, of the horse cars and of
the great names of yesteryear, he
always did SO as an interesting story
teller rather than an old man dig
ging back into "reminiscences.

in the office of John Jay, a grand
son of the first chief justice, for
$1.75 week. He was married when
he was 81 to Lucinda Lefferts and
60-odd years ago built for his
bride the fashionable home on
Greenwich street where he died.
His daughter resided with him.
Sixty-seven years ago he became
Democratic leader of the ninth
ward and in 1871 turned anti-Tam-
many during the Tweed exposures.
His first political appointment came
in 1878 as excise commissioner. He
fought Tammany bitterly for 20
years, his organization becoming
known as "Voorhis Democracy
Then in 1889 some of his co-leaders
wanted split ticket of Republicans
and Voorhis Democrats.
His differences with Tammany
were patched up and he assembled
the Tammany ladder until he be-
came the grand sachem.

LINER IS
LOCATED
Bodies Of Eight Victims
Found Buried In Wreck
age Of Plane.
LONG SEARCH ENDS
Evidence Shows Pilot Was
Making Desperate Effort
To Reach Safety.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5. U.P)--
Just a week after a Century-P Pacific
air liner crashed in the blizzard
swept Tehachapi mountains, bodies
of the eight victims, crushed and
charred, were to be brought to
Bakersfield today.
Six days of search revealed the
twisted skeleton of the plane on
20O0-foot hillside, four miles west
of Fort TETON, not far from Lebec.
Paul Appadeca, Indian range rider,
found the Wreckage.
The plane had struck with ter
rifle force. Pilot j. v. Sandbloom.
with record of 400 hours in the
air, had had no time to switch off
the ignition.
Cascading gasoline from the
wreck fired, incinerating the eight
occupants in a brief burst of
flame.
Sandbloom's body was crushed
under a huddle of the three motors.
Six others were massed at the
planes front. Only one, that of
Mrs. F. H. Fickeisen of San Diego,
had been thrown clear.
Appadeca sighted the wreckage,
turned and mushed through the
snow toward Fort TETON. 81 didn't
want to see the dead" he said.
He met four fish and game
deputies and led them to the
wreck.
The plane was on the regular
route between Bakersfield and Los
Angeles. Its position indicated the
pilot had despaired of reaching
his destination in the raging bliz-
zard, and had turned back toward
Bakersfield.
The undercarriage had been torn
off as the plane sheared a short
path through scrub oak. The wings
were not broken, although the
fusilage was crushed. The occu-
pants had no time to struggle for
freedom after the crash, if any
lived. The ship apparently had
struck and Immediately caught
fire.

higher it would have cleared the
rim of Johnson canyon, and prob
ably returned safely to Bakers
field. Flying blind beaten down
by the storm, Pilot Sandbloom
lacked just that height to clear
the last mountain on his return
flight.
AS the ship struck the top of
the 2000-foot declivity, the power
was still on, inspection of the pro-
pellors showed. The canyon is
about 80 miles south and east of
Bakersfield and 65 miles north
east Of Los Angeles.
An inquest will be conducted at
Bakersfield, where the charred
bodies will be identified. Watches
will be checked to determine the
exact time of disaster.
Through last night watchfires
burned at the scene, as men kept
lonely vigil over the dead.
Other passengers were Chief
Deputy Sheriff Frank DeWar, Los
Angeles; Miss Marie Combs,
Bakersfield; Miss Nita McGrath.

HART RETURNED
FROM NORTH TO
ANSWER CHARGES

Lewis Hart, returned from Stock
ton to Ell Centro last night by Tom
Sharp, district attorneys investi-
gator, today heard Judge Lloyd E..
Griffin OF San Diego, presiding
over his case here, deny a motion
to quaSh the indictment charging
him with grand theft, conspiracy
to violate the corporate securities
act of California, and criminal
conspiracy.
Judge Griffin, however, did is
sue an order reducing Harts bond
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Hart is said by officers to be the
ringleader of group OF 16 men
named in an indictment by the
1930-31 county grand jury for al
legged fraudulent insurance stock
sales in Imperial Valley.
Whether Judge Griffin will refer
back to the grand jury the indict-
ment, to several counts of which
demurrers have been sustained,
was still under consideration this
afternoon, with attorneys still
arguing legal pollCS III favor o.
their various clients, several of
whom are here from Los Angeles
for the hearing.
Attorneys for the defendants
contend the matter must be re-
terred back to the grand jury be-
fore the indictment may be
amended. 1t is the contention of
the district attorney and his assist
ants this can be done by his Of
flee.
A decision probably will be an
nounced in the matter this aft
ernoon.
Hart and his alleged confederates
are charged with selling stock in
the Associated Insurance Under

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 5. - The
jury in the Winnie Ruth Judd trial
rested today because it was a legal
holiday in Arizona.
1t had already received the most
damaging testimony the state has
presented in its attempts to hang
Mrs. Judd on the charge she mur-
dered Agnes Anne lie Roi, a close
friend.
The testimony was that of DR..
Joseph Cation, San Francisco
alienist, who said the blonde de-
fendant told him she killed Mrs.
LIE Roi and Mrs. LIE Roi's room
mate, Hedvig Samuelson, because
of j. M. (Jack) Halloran, wealthy
Arizona sportsman.
This supported directly the state
claim that jealousy over Halloran
led Mrs. Judd to shoot the two
girls to death.
There would have been no
Winnie Ruth Judd case if there
were no Jack Halloran,' Doctor
Cation said she told him.
Halloran, largest Arizona lumber
dealer, has been mentioned fire.
quently in the case.
Doctor Cation advanced the
possibility that Halloran was at the
apartment the night of the slay-
ingS and that Halloran paid Mrs.
Judd's trial costs. The alienist
brought out in greater detail the
asserted intimacy between Mrs.
Judd and Halloran.
Jack Halloran was the only one
there that night who was drink
ing Cation quoted Mrs. Judd as
saying when she was discussing
events of the night of October 16,
1881, when Mrs. LIE Roi and Miss
SamuelSon were killed.
Admits Intimacy
81 won't tell you," Mrs. Judd
was quoted as saying when Cation
asked her if Halloran was paying
her expensive attorneys.
Until Doctor Cation quoted Mrs.
Judd's remark about Halloran it
had not been suggested the lum-
cSi AlidAi wac III biiC LC IIOl-
Samuelson apartment the night
they were slain.
Doctor Cation said that Mrs
Judd admitted intimate relations
with Halloran, a married man
starting the night before Christ
mas, 1890, and extending until a
few nights before the girls were
killed. He claimed her fear that
Mrs. LIE Roi and Miss Samuelson
were taking Halloran away from
her prompted Mrs. Judd to shoot
them.
"It was Jack Halloran and the
attentions Mrs. LIE Roi and Miss
Samuelson paid to him which
caused the tragedy" Doctor Cation
said Mrs. Judd told him.
Doctor Cation, on the stand all
day yesterday will resume his place
Saturday when ne will be cross
examined by the defense.
Arbor day, a state holiday here,
interrupted the trial today, voiding
any possibility of the case going to
the jury before Monday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The
need of President Hoover's new an
ti-hoarding campaign was indicat-
ed by the latest federal reserve re-
ports estimating that boarding of
money was resumed again after a
brief letdoWn.
Figures indicated that $4,000, 900
was added to the volume of cur
rency in the week ending February
3, a substantial portion of which
officials are convinced went into
boarding. Part of it probably went
to month end business uses, though
officials have no way of ascertain
ing how the money was used.
They pointed out that in the cor
responding week a year ago, $32,-
100000 additional money went into
the currency stream, a part Of
which undoubtedly was boarded
and that whereas business this year
is possibly one fourth below the
volume year ago, the demand for
currency went up $l0,000,000 over
the amount added in the same week
last year.
Arrangements for an aggressive
opening of the Presidents national
campaign to enlist the average cit
izen in a patriotic war against
1,300,000000 hidden Stacker dol
lars were being made today.
President Hoover is preparing to
address the anti-hoarding confer
ence at the White House at 10 a. m
tomorrow. Charles c. Dawes, pres
ident of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, also will hurl his ex-
plosive oratory at the conference.
Heads of more than 40 national
organizations covering every walk
of life will be present. Through
their respective organizations they
probably cover "a large percentage
of the country's earning population.
All directors of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation will be pres
ent, as the purpose of this confer
ence is to enlist the average man
in the same objective the corpora
ton has. The corporation is to
