MOUNT EVEREST CONQUERED AT
 LAST FROM AIR
For Years Men Have Tried to Ascend It But Failed Four Britt s h e r s Crossed It

Purnea, India, April 4. UP)- One of mans greatest aspirations the conquest of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world--had been accomplished to-day by air.
 Four men in two airplaDes how cred over the glamoroIt5 Himala- yas, the awe inspiring Everest, with it's glaciers and crcyasses, outlined beneath them. They were the first men to sec 1t from above. Since the beginning of time, Everest had de- fled all of mans efforts to view It's summit. Innumerable land expedi- tions failed. Two previous attempts by plane also failed.
 Squadron leader, the Marquis of CIydesdaie, the eXpedition's chief pilot, and Lieutenant Colonel Stew art William W. Blacknerh observer, were in one plane; Flight Lieuten- ant D. r. Mcintyre, of the Royal Air Force, and $. R. Bennett, mo- ton picture camera man, were in the other.
 The planes, equipped with huge cylinders of oxygen that allowed the motors to function and the men to breathe in the rarifled at- mosphere, reached q maximum altitude of 35,00O feet, approxi- mately 5000, feet above Everest which rears it's peak 29,f4t feet.
 It was not believed that the ex- petition would make second flight over the peak. The expedition had agreed to the stipulation of the Maharajah of Nepal when permis- sion for the flight was granted, that only one attempt would be made. The growing unrest of Nepa- lese authorities which threatened the expedition with loss of it's per mision for the flight, caused yes terday's unexpected but successful attempt. The Nepalesc, who wor- ship Everest as q super being. fear ed the flight would offend the dieties living on it's crest. causing their wrath to be unlooscd on the populace around the base.
 Calcutta, India, April 4. (UP)- Flight Lieutenant D. r. Mcintyre, one of the conquerors Of Mount Everest, made q nasty flight from the expeditlon's base at Purnea to- day and announced the expedition would make an immediate assault on Mount Kanchanjanaa, 28,156 feet high and the third tallest of the Himalayan group.

libcrately drowning her 8-year-old

held in the county Jail today pend
ing an insanity hearing next Mon

she did some" Mrs. Kennedy told

'Scotty' Russell
Hospital Patient

Friends of D. l.. "Scotty" Russell
pioneer resident of Imperial Val
ley will regret to leaAn that he is
a patient in st. Vincent's hospital,
Los Angeles, having. undergone an
operation last week, following sew
eral months of illness.
Reports from his family indicate
that "Scotty" is making excellent
progress, and is looking forward to
chance to come down to the val
ley to recuperate.
"Scotty" was on the first survey
party of Rockwood's which came
into the valley in the early nine
Ties and has been part of Impe-
rial Valley since that time, though
making his residence on the coast
for several months of each year in
recent years.
He and Mrs, Russell have many
friends here and "Scotty" will be
glad to hear from any of them,

COUNTY FUND
RUNNING LOW

That Imperial county may not be
able to pay its employees at the
end of the month except by regis
tered salary warrants was the ad-
mission this morning of George
Varney, county treasurer.
Varney's statement was colored
by optimism, however, when he said
transfer of budget funds may
make it unnecessary to register
warrants, and that the treasury has
almost enough on hand to go
around. Should the county get
through this month without regis
tering warrants, the treasurer said,
there will be no fear for the fu-
ture.
One reason for the county'S fl
nancial situation is thought to lie
in the fact that county deposits
in various banking institutions are
now drawing only two per cent in
terest, the lowest interest at which
county money can be loaned legal
ly.
BY reason of this, income to the
county from interest has been cut
approximately third from the
old interest rate of three per cent.
This means a loss to the county of
several thousands of dollars each
year, because the banks threatened
to turn deposit loans back into the
county treasury unless the county
accepted the new two per cent in
tereSt rate.

JURY To GET
D 'BR|EN CASE

Judge Vaughn N. Thompson this
afternoon was reading routine in
struction which will place in the
hands of II jurors the fate of Bill
lie OBrien, charged with grand
theft Of more than $1,000 worth Of
cantaloupe seed from the Gerard
company at BraWley.
/ A verdict is expected late this
afternoon or tonight. w. E. Abra-
ham, defense attorney, in his ar
gument to the jury this morning,
asked acquittal of his client, con-
tending that the state has not
linked him definitely with theft of
the cantaloupe seed.
r. l. French, deputy district at
torney, refuted Abraham's argu-
ments by tracing a line of circum-
stantial evidence which, he con-
tended, connects O'Brien with the
theft.
Attorneys made their arguments
after Judge Thompson denied Alb
rahams motion for an instructed
verdict, and both the state and the
defense rested.

GUY FREED IN
Staying CASE
Jury Finds Accused Not Guilty
Of Killing Captain Wanderwell
AT Long Beach.

LONG BEACH, Cal, Feb. II tU.P)
New adventures beckoned Will
liam James (Curly) Guy today as
he stood acquitted of numbering
Capt. Walter Wanderwell a fellow
soldier of fortune.
A jury of nine men and three
women freed the 23-year Welsh
adventurer last night after delib-
Grating five and a half hours, thus
leaving unsolved the fantastic slay-
ing aboard the South Seas yacht
Carma, last Dec. 5.
Hearing prosecutors demanded
his death on the gallows was just
another adventure for Guy and he
was ready for his next. He said he
would volunteer as an assistant to
Prof Auguste Picard for a flight
into the stratosphere.
The scientific venture was in line
with his determination to leave the
United States, since he faces ac-
ton by the federal government on
illegal entry charges.
Guy met the jury with the same
broad smile he wore during the
two weeks of the trial. The verdict
read, he was surrounded quickly
by the court crowd. Many women
kissed him.
Jurors indicated they were dis
satisfied with the states circum-
stantial evidence. Two members OF
Wanderwell'S commonwealth crew
identified Guy as the mysterious
man at the portfolio" who boarded
the Carma shortly before Wander
we'll was killed by bullet in the
back.
Claimed Alibi
The defense answered by point
ing out asserted discrepancies and
calling upon almanacs to bolster
it's contention that the night was
too dark for Identification pur-
poses.
Guy in a brief appearance on the
stand testified he was at the home
of Edward De Larm, Arapahoe In
dian aviator, in Glendale, 40 miles
distant, the night of the shooting
De Larm, who once served as pilot
for two South American revolu-
tionists, corroborated the alibi
The defense strategem of con-
filming Guys testimony to his
movements on the fatal night pre-
vented the state from questioning
him as to threats he allegedly
made against Wanderwell
Aloha w derwell, willowy
blonde widow of the slain Polist
adyenturer, declared her HUSBAND
twice quarreled with Guy, the las
time shortly before the Staying
Guy admitted the quarrels to police
and even admitted "he had plenty
against" Wanderwell, but stead
fastly maintained he did not kill
