HERBERT WILEY
 SEEMS TO BEAR CHARMED LIFE
Lieut. Commander on the Macon Was in Two
 Other Crashes

Washington. Feb 13 ---.UP)- Lieut.. Commander Herbert V. Wiley, survivor of three of" the major navy dirigible crashes in re- cent years. ranked Eo.@i1 today among service men who appear to lead charmed lives. f*Fl 4S
 Wiley was abroad the shenan- ,doah when ft crashed /: during q storm over Ohio fn 1925. Fourteen men died. He was one of three men to escape from the Akron. sister ship of the Macon. when it went down off the New Jersey coast with a loss of 72 lives in April 1893.
 The stocky. dark -haired veteran of dirigible service, was second in command of the Akron. He went through a window in the control abin and swam until he was pick ed up. At the inquiry into the crash he testified the ship was headed into a storm against his recommen- dation.
 At 43 years of age Wiley is a veteran of IA years service in lighter-than-a craft. He graduat- ed from the U. s. Naval Academy m l9l5 ana served on the LOS Angeles, the only large navy air ship to escape disaster, for several years before being assigned to the Akron.
 It was he who flashed the last commar /-'stand by for a crash" just before the Akron went down to be torn to pieces by rain sorm and mountainous waves. An in- stant later the ships tail struck the water. then 1t buckled and sank quickly.
 Wiley never knew exactly how he escaped-whether he leaped oc was washed through q window. His hands found piece of wreck age in the dark---A one chance in million--and he swam with three others away from the watery grave of Fl of his companions. including ear-Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Naval Bureau of Aernautics.
 Wiley was the only officer to escape. Three enlisted men were picked up. Two, Richard E. Deal and M. E. Erwin, lived. The third died of injuries.

middle of the night, Justice Tren- chard has the right to say he will not receive it until the regular time for opening of court, at 10 q. m. of the following day.
 The first indication that de- cison has been made will be when the Jurymen send q bailiff to the judge and Justice Trenchard-now remaining in chambers-comes out to sit on the bench.
 HauDtmann was back in his cell, having his own lunch. His wife. Anna Schoeffler Hauptmann, es- corted out the back way, looked pale and on the verge of tears, as she emerged from the court.
 Throughout the judges charge. Hauptmann had betrayed extreme nervousness. He twisted in his seat as the justice emphasized points in the states evidence against him particularly when he said-R you find this defendant made the lad der, you may also find 1t was used in commission of the crime"
 Wife Was in Terror
 But if Hauptmann was nervous, the face of his wife expressed ex- treme inward terror. She constant ly moistcned her dry lips, and her eyes had an expression of pain.
 The disposition of the jury, the number of hours it should spend dcliberating, and the question of receiving a verdict after midnight were entirely in the hands of Jus tice Trenchard.
 He has the right, under the law, to say to the bailiffs Let the jury be locked up for the night" The locking up' process, however, is q tcchnicality, for they already are behind barred doors. But the con- stable in charge of the jury will rap on the door and inform the jury that they are to return no ver- dict until the following morning.
 The jury must never leave the room except to come into court with a report.
 FIRST MESSAGE FROM JURY
 Flcmington, N. J., Feb. 13.-- (UP) At 3:25 D. m. the first message from the jury room came out. It was a request for magnify ing glasses, presumably to study the handwriting and wood exhibits.
 The court room was blue with smoke, and the floor was covered with newspapers and discarded press copy. Two correspondents in the gallery started a checker game. A New York columnist and two news mon tossed pennies at the cast wall.
 The opposing attorneys wandered in and out of the courtroom. Wilcntz and Reilly several times chatted with each other. But never about the case. Occasionally the chief defense counsel and his ad- versary would laugh heartily.
 Food was brought into the court house by relays of boys from the Union hotel, across the street.
 Outside the court, crowds were massed five deep along the side walks, standing in the cold for hours, awaiting the verdict.

including Attorney General Davil T. WilentZ declined to comment.
 Get Light Lunch At 1:15 D. m. today, the four women and eight men who are considering the fate of Bruno Richard Hauptmann had been locked in the grand jury roo m two hours, and Justice Thomas w. ordered Sheriff John H. Curtiss to send food in to them.
 Just make it light lunch. v the justice told. the sheriff, sand wiches or something like that enough to hold them together
 Prosecution JubiIant
 Prosecuting officials were openly jubilant over the charge delivered to the jury two hours previously by Justice Trenchard. They re- garded it as favorable to the states theories that Hauptmann con- strtscte ed the kldnap ladder and used it to commit the burglary involved in the abduction of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.
 The defense. on the other hand. raised objections to almost every paragraph in the charge, in order to lay grounds for an appeal.
 Frederick A. Pope. in particular was incenscd over certain of Trenchard's rulings. He argued that the state had failed to prove the kidnapping was accomplished in the manner it charges, that Haupt- mann was in the nursery. or that q felony - burglary - had been committed.
 While the jury deliberated, the court was emptied of all spectators. Newspaper correspondents W e c permitted to remain in the room.
 No Word from Jury
 No inkling of the progress the jury was making came from be- hind the bolted doors.
 Under the New Jersey laws, the jurors must be locked up until! they arrive at a verdict, and some juries have remained out as long as 72 hours.
