her mother was dramatically fulfilled in

sightseeing with Trent Kilgallen, and i'm
prisoned on the San Jacinto plantation five
hundred miles from Havana.
Nadito Sanchez, young Cuban to whom
Trent appealed for help, discovered that his
brother and sister. Pebe and Paca were con-
spirators in this mad kidnapping plot. Nadito
tricked Pepe into revealing the hiding place
of the gang and. accompanied by Trent, set
out by car to rescue Kathleen.
Meanwhile Anthony Redstreak, a young
American, to whose plantation house kath-
leen had been brought. made bold attempt
to free her But when Kathleen realized that
she would have to go alone, she refused to
leave Anthony to the uncertain mercies of the
fanatical haf-breed CarinegrO, one of her
abductors. By clever ruse, she led the kid

snapped, and he was taken to a san
itarium. He never fully recovered. It
was not long afterward that he died.
After DR.. Schultze was taken ill,
his assistant, Dr. McAuliffe, was ask
ed to give his opinion of the cause of
death. He said:
Ceilings was dead before he was
thrown into the water He was killed
by the blows on the head"
That the murder was not premedi-
tated appeared certain, for Ceilings
was struck down by milk bottles
which were on the boat. A man pre-
meditating murder would have
brought some other weapon.
But who did this crime, and why,
remain five years afterward one of
Lon Islands most batting mysteries.

Many persons expressed curiosity

Almost four hours after the plane
plunged to the ground the wreckage
was found Thursday morning,
strewn through plowed field for a
distance of 200 yards. Among the
wreckage were eight bodies-not a
person aboard the plane left alive to
tell the story of the wreck.
It was Chicago & Southern air
liner bound from New Orleans to
Chicago, and the crash occurred near
Lambert-St. Louis airport late We'd
nesday night. The pilots and all pass
engers were killed.
A witness at a farm near the scene
said he saw the plane bank steeply
and turn back toward the airport
from which it had just taken off. A
moment later he heard it crash after
it had gone over knoll and was
obscured from his view.
Among those killed were Vernon
