CLAIM AKRON
MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SAVED
Inquiry Brings Out Evidence Of
Navigation Errors Prior To
Fatal Crash.
NO BLAME PLACED YET
Hearing Adjourns Over Week
end To Be Continued At Capt.
tai On Monday.

LAKEHURST, N. j., April IA. tU.p
-Four days of testimony in the
Akron inquiry have developed defi-
mite opinions that the disaster
might have been avoided by diff
ferent navigation tactics in its last
hour or two of flight.
From the thousands of words
spoken by witnesses who appeared
before the naval court of, inquiry
here there emerged today, as the
first phase of the investigation was
concluded, a picture of what must
have happened in that tragic battle
for existence over the Atlantic
waves off Barnegat, N. J.
There appeared to be little doubt
that the Akron, beaten lower and
lower by a terrific electrical storm
and failing to take advantage Of
the four courses of escape now held
to have been open to her, was de-
stroyed when a final desperate ef-
fort to gain altitude forced her tail
into the water.
Whether blame will be attached
to her captain, Com. Frank G. Nc
Cord, remains uncertain. He has
been defended stoutly by the only
surviving officer, Lieut.. Com. Her
bert v. Wiley. But the testimony of
others indicated that had McCord
made other decisions than the ones
he did, the Akron might have come
safely out of the storm.
The questioning regarding naviga-
tion technique has developed the
only apparent explanatio nof the
disaster.
McCord died bravely, trying to
save his ship and his rs shcipmates.
The INJURY will be resumed in
Washington next week. Meantime,
the court of inquiry proceeded with
an investigation of the crash of the
blimp J-3, in which two lives were
lost during the search for Akron
survivors.

TRIAL OPENS
Condemned Woman's Last Hope
To Escape Gallows Depends
Upon Verdict.

United Press Staff Correspondent

COURTROOM, FLORENCE, Ariz.,
April IA nervous, strained and
sometimes fearful woman, Winnie
Ruth Judd, blonde slayer of two
girl friends, looked on today as at
torneyS fought probably the last
battle for her life.
Wan and pale, she sat in Judge
E. l.. Green's court, twisting her
handkerchief around her hand and
squirming in her chair while jury
was being selected from Pinal coun-
ty ranchers, miners and storekeep-
ers to pass on her sanity.
The jury, once selected. mas her
life in its hands for she must hang
April 81 if found sane but will go
to a state asylum If ruled insane.
At the noon adjournment only
four jurors had been passed tenta-
lively by both sides and it seemed
likely that the jury could not be
completed before nightfall.
The blonde nurse paid no atten-
ton as the attorneys tediously
questioned the prospective jurors,
many of whom were rancherS in
overalls and shirt sleeves.
Instead, her gaze swept rapidly
from one point to another in the
old courtroom, alighting now on her
elderly parents, the Rev. and Mrs.
H. j. McKinnell, then on her hus-
band, DR.. William c. Judd and
once on DR.. Joseph Cation, San
Francisco, a state alienist.
Tears came to her eyes when she
first saw DR.. Cation. for he was a
most. forceful witness against her
in Phoenix when she originally was
convicted of the murder of her for
mer roommate and fellow nurse,
Agnes Ann lie Roi.
She dabbed them away with her
green handkerchief and then re-
turned the handkerchief to its duty
of being wound and unwound a
round her left hand, in which a
bullet was found when she volun-
tarily surrendered in October, 1881,
to charges that she shot and killed
Mrs. LIE Roi and Mrs. LIE Roi's room
mate, Hedvig Samuelson.

cases, today stood convicted Of three
federal felony counts.

guilty of conspiring to violate the
prohibition law, possession of a
still, and possession of liquor. He
will be sentenced Monday. His at
torneys said they would appeal the
case.
Miller was indicted and arrested
following discovery of a large still
near Los Banos, which, federal
agents believed, was one of the prin-

Ouitcu FEcSS SLdil correspondent
MOSCOW, April ID. - Shoulder
ing anger of central figures in the
trial of six BritonS on charges of
espionage and sabotage broke into
the open today when bitter charges
and denials were hurled back and
forth across the court room
After direct evidence of bribery
had been presented against three of
the six Britons on trial, Yuri Iii
vert, Latvian and one of II Rus
slams also on trial, accused A. w.
Gregory, another defendant, of de-
liberately slowing down installation
of British Metropolitan Vickers
switches at the great Dnieperstori
electrical plant.
zivert spoke emotionally and, oe-
coming belatedly patriotic, de-
nounced the Britons' procrastina-
tions. He stamped his feet and
waved his hands, causing judge
to interject:
"Don't romanticize. Stick to
facts"
Gregory leaped to his feet. He
was furious and shouting in a
thick Welsh brogue.
"I won't let this go without con-
tradictions," he yelled at Zivert.
This man has made statements
damaging to my reputation" Greg
ory went on. 1.-The statements are
without proof. Is this fair? Is this
justice?"
The interpreter apprised tn e
judges Of Gregory's remarks and
Judge Ulrich, presiding, said:
"zivert has spoken. You'll have
a chance to speak. Whom the court
believes remains to be seen."

DATA ON
MYSTERY SHIP

SAN PEDRO, April IA. U.R-
Bobbing listlessly with the tide, a
25-foot schooner, its owner myster-
iously missing, drifted 300 miles
south of here off Point San Lazare
today, while authorities sought to
piece together a rambling log re-
covered from the ship by Captain
Thomas Oreb of the seiner Western
Spirit.
The boat was registered to Chad
wick G. Pendleton, of Los Angeles,
Eureka and Naknek, Alaska. There
was no sign of Pendleton.
The steamer Anteguay first re-
ported the derelict, its sails furled,
an awning covering its after-deck,
last Monday. The master informed
the 18th naval district that man,
either sick or dead could be seen
on the deck.
Oreb came upon the double end
ed black schooner a short time lat
er. He found the craft in perfect
order, the log-book opened at the
last entry: March go A black
kitten was its only occupant.
The log revealed that the craft
cleared the breakwater here March
IL. Under the date of March ID,
Pendleton had written:
Lee sick since we cleared San
Pedro. Put him ashore at Rosiana
bay near San Quentin
Seamen here believe Lee to be
James Lee, a former member Of
the yacht Carma on which Capt.
Walter Wanderwell, adventurer, was
slain.
Three days later the log reported:

Found Lee was going to EnSenada." +"
