Intensely Jealous Dr. Aurel Castro, Guatemalan medical student and a hotel neigh bor of Bauer, told police Bauer had mentioned his acquaintance with his wife's rejected suitor, who, he said. was intensely jealous. In Dr. Bauer's room, authorities found evidence that led them to believe his marriage had not been completely happy. A letter, torn up before being sent, My mar riage know is a hoax" The letter had been addressed to Dr. Vernon Casner of Kirkville, Mo-, friend. ,a A telegram from Casner was found. It read:
 No foundation for accusations. Dr. Georges reactions quite un- favorable. Louise has not been told. Square yourself by all means with her."
 The telegram, apparently, was an answer to messages sent to Casner by Dr. Bauer.
 Mrs. Bauer Defends Him Chicago, Aug. 1-(UP)-Mrs. Louise Bauer, beautiful brunette
 nurse, came to the defense today of l a rejected suitor who is sought in connection with the mutilation and death of her husband, Dr. Walter J. Bauer. Testifying at an inquest into Bauer's barbaric death, the pretty young bride denied reports that her husband had been threat ened by Manville Zenge, her erst- while suitor.
 "Walter had seen Manville and I think he would have recognized him if it had been Manville who was responsible for this horrible thing" Mrs. Bauer testified in a voice vibrant with emotion. She was the first witness. Before Bauer died he was able to tell physicians of the mutilation and the events
 leading up to it. He said he was
 unable to recognize his assailant. Coroner Frank Walsh made a point
 of this and Mrs. Bauer's declara-
 ton that she is sure Bauer would know Zenge if he saw him. Furthermore the Kirksville, Mol,
 nurse who was married only three i hours before her husband left her
 for Ann Arbor, to take post gradu-
 ate work at the University of Mich- igan, said that to her knowledge
 Zenge never had threatened her husband.
 He asked me if I was happy
 she said, "and that semed to be all
 that mattered. I had known him for seven years"

 McKechnie as President . With Adams slated to take over control of the club, reports per sisted that Bill McKechnie, shrewd Braves manager, would be elevat- ed to the presidency for the re- mainder of the season, at least.
 These reports were based on a statement by Adams at a testi- monial dinner to Babe Ruth dur ing the winter. At that time, Fuchs openly intimated that the Babe would be made manager next sea- son.
 Afew minutes later, Adams. a strong McKechnie supporter, made counter-statement' in which he said Ruth would have to make good before he could be manager of the Braves and that if he did, he (Adams) would prefer eventu- ally to slide into the background and let the present Braves pilot handle his financial interests in the club.
 Ruth Hopes Collapsed
 Fuchs signed Ruth with tho hope that the Babes return to Boston would result in financial benefit to the club.
 These hopes collapsed. however, when the Babe quit the Braves in a huff early in June. when Fuchs refused him permission to go to New York and greet the new French liner, Normandie. ,..
 Since then, Fuchs has confer red with several prospective pur. chasers, but negotiations failed to materlaIize.

 Explained Statute
 In AbePs case, Judge Mascolo had to interpret for the accused the statute pertaining to the ille- gal possession of gambling ma chimes. The accused told the court he had read the statute, but did not think 1t was illegal for him to sell the machines.
 He told the court that the nine machines he had in his store were not in use. He said he sells the machines all over the country.
 Judge Mascolo informed the ac- cused he would have to go out of business because 1t was a law vio- lation for him to keep the machines in his possession. He also instructed the accused that Captain Daniel Carson, who with Officer Patrick Moylan of the emergency. squad, had made the arrests Saturday af- ternoon and Sunday, would see to 1t that the machines were not kept on the premises of Abels store. Judge Mascolo made it plain that the statute prohibits the maintenance of machines such as Abel is selling.
 How Machines Worked
 The desk of the prosecutor in city court was used while Captain Carson showed Judge Mascolo how a number of the machines work. In the pin games, coin is inserted in a slot and. a number of balls appear which are shot in- to slots on a board.

 Reports came from the meeting that the coal men asked Runciman to intercede for them to get money Italy owed for coal.

It was said that the coal men visited Runciman to discuss ar- rears of several countries, princi- pally Italy.
 This news was accompanied by the assertion in the Daily Herald, labor party organ, that the reason British bankers have refused large credits to Italy was their belief that Italy's financial position was becoming to serious.

WORLD FLIGHT OF YALE MEN ENDED | WITH SUCCESS
Two Flyers Who Never Were Veterans Com.
 pleted Long Jaunt

New York. Jan 25--(UP)--A world flight. unheralded through out 2S countries, seemed more re. markable because two Yale men completed 1t without an accident although neither was veteran flyer.
 The two travellers who made their trip pleasure jaunt were Dr Richard U. Light, surgery instruc- tor at the Yale Medical school, and Robert Y. Wilson,. a graduate ra- dio engineer. Dr Light was gradu- ated from the army air corps training school at Kelly Field, Tex. in 1929. while Wilson was not a trained pilot.
 The flight started last August 20 from New Haven, Conn, without any public announcement. The course was up the coast to Cart wright, Labrador, thence across the north Atlantic by way of Ice land and Scotland to the European mainland. This flight closely par- allelled the one made by Col and Mrs Charles A. Iindbergh in their north Atlantic survey.
 After visiting old world clinics, pr Light and Wilson flow across the Alps down to the Mediter- ranean, thence on to Athens and Isagdad. They crossed the Persian gulf then went on to India. Flying as far inland as Bombay, they re. turned to the Bay of Bengal and followed the coastlino to Singapore. We crossed the equator" Dr Light said, land flew on to the Dutch East Indies. then turned up tho coast to Borneo and crossod over to the Philippines"
 The travellers crossed tho Pacific by steamship. landing at Vancouv- CT. They flew down the California coast into Mexico, crossed over to Cuba and returned home via Miami Fla. "We took our time" pr Light said in describing the flight, "and went where we wanted to go and saw what we wanted to sec. We waited for decent weather before we flew, and as q consequence ex- perienced no difficulties whatever. We didn't have a single forced Ia anding."
