tember 14.-With today's reconstruc-
ton of the shooting Of Knight b.
Owen, scion of a wealthy Marthas
Vineyard family, police tonight an
nounced their case closed against
Harold C. Look, 53-year-old handy
man and confessed slayer.
Owen was shot to death late Thurs
day as he sat in his parked automobile
on the fringe Of a gay garden party
at the home of Richard Salmon.
Look had long-standing disagree
n1ent with Owen police assert.
Yesterday, after his arraignment in
District Court, where he was held
without bail on a charge of murder,
Look was declared by police to have
described the 42-year-old retired Bos-
ton broker and World War aviator he
is accused of shooting as "a menace
to the community and better out of
the way"
District Attorney William c. Cross
lev asserted evidence indicated that
Look had been carried away by his
belief that he was self-appointed
protector of the community and, in
particular, of Mrs. Lydia Hyde, 35-
year-old divorce and mother of four
children. Mrs. Hyde told Crossley any
feeling she may have entertained
toward Owen was OF maternal ma

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, September IA
Nine-year-old Charles Joder, who
proudly claims the title of the man
of the family" and his sister Ruth, g.,
cheerfully set out tonight on a long
journey for youngsters-away of to
French West Africa.
It's not a new country for them at
all. They are merely returning to join
their father, Rev. Fred Joder. sta
toned in Africa by the Christian and
Missionary Alliance.
Waving good-bys to the school
friends they made during their two
year stay in Johnstown, Charles and
Ruth happily boarded the train for
New York. They will sail Monday
on the liner West Kebar.
"I'll be glad to see my pet monkey
again." Charles told his schoolmates.
"And we're both glad to go back
where daddy Is. can look after Ruth
on the trip, too"
The children will remain back in
the jungles until four years from now,
when Rev. Mr.. Joder gets a years
fl1rlough and brings them here again.
Charles was born in Johnstown, but
Ruth was born in Paris, where her
parents were studying prior to leaving
for Africa.
Mrs. Joder died four years ago, and
two wears later the father brought the
children to his native Johnstown for
visit with their aunts, the Misses
Mary and Bertha Layton.

Navy officials recalled yesterday
how mutiny plot in which three
midshipmen were hung from q yard
arm at sea spurred founding Of the
Naval Academy.
Looking toward the Goth ami

In 1912, three years before the
academy was founded, Philip Spencer.
midshipman, plotted to seize the
brig Somers. murder the officers, and
hoist the black flag Of piracy.
Spencer was a son Of John Can
field Spencer, then Secretary of War.
The brig was returning to New York
from the African coast.
A whisper Of the plot reached
Comdr Alexander Slidell Mackenzie.
who ordered Spencer put in irons. In
his effects was list Of the crew.
Opposite the names, in Greek, were
designations such as certain" and
doubtful"
Hanged to Yardarm.
Believing this an indication that
Spencer already had picked the men
he could rely upon to aid him, Mac
Kenzie called a court of inquiry. After
a day and half Of deliberation it
returned a verdict of conspiracy to
mutiny against Spencer and two
others, appending the observation
that "the safety Of public property,
the lives of ourselves and of those
committed to our charge require that
they should be put to DEATH"
Comdr. Mackenzie concurred and,
while the brig plowed through bleak
December seas. the three were hanged
to the yardarr.
'"The execution" says naval his
tory, had a salutary effect on the
crew, who Immediately returned to
their duties with an alacrity that was
in striking contrast with their pre-
vious conduct"
Mackenzie Acquitted.
Public opinion was aroused and
was court martialed but
honorably acquitted.
The affair focused attention on the
Navy's method of training young men
sending midshipmen to sea i'm
upon receipt of their war
rants. Aboard ship. the youths learned
seamanship by experience and re-
ceived a smattering Of technical and
cultural training from a School
master"
This arrangement, one naval his
tory says, resulted in throwing upon
the Navy such young scaperaces as
