NAVY SPY FACES
2O-YEAR SENTENCE
Former Yeoman Convicted
of Selling U. S. Secrets
to Japanese Agent.

B. the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 4.-Twerty
years in prison was the possible pen
atty Harry Thomas Thompson faced
today for selling his countrys naval
secrets to Japanese agent for a
few hundred dollars.
Conviction of the former United
States Navy yeomsn yesterday in one
of the few peace-time espionage
trials in the Nations history. came
less than two weeks after the Gov
eminent made public details Of a
long -rumored Navy spy case.
1t took a Federal Court jury only
ive minutes to decide the 30-year-
old ex-yeoman was guilty Of con-
spring with Toshio Miyazaki, as
serted lieutenant commander in the
Japanese Imperial Navy. to violate
the espionage act.
A 20-year prison term is possible
for Thompson, who will be sentenced
next Monday.
Judge Leon Yankwich congratu-
lated the jury.
The verdict you have rendered
/. the only one that could be arrived
at upon fair review Of the evidence. y
he said. The quickness of the ver-
dict attests to your appreciation Of
that.
Il also wish to say that the de-
fense offered by the defense was pre-
posterous and an insult to the jury
or the court. Actually. there is nc
defense for a crime of this sort, par
ticularly when it was done for gain
as in this case"
After a slow prelude. q two years
investigation of the prisoners activi-
ties, the Government moved with
celerity and precision.
1t presented It's case speedily
putting on the stand comparatively
few witnesses in its effort to prove
that Thompson. disguised as a naval
petty oficer. boarded United States
warships during 1884 and 1888. OBJ
tanned confidential information con-
cerning the fleets tactics and sole
them to Miyazaki. who then was sta
toned at Stanford University as ar
observer.
The chief Government witness wa.
Willard Turntine, 1S. Thompson's
former roommate. Turntine. who re-
potred Thompson's activities to the
Naval Intelligence Bureau, testified
he accompanied the defendant on
tours Of the battleships, saw him
take confidential documents, saw
him deliver them to a "Mr. Tani''
and receive money for his work.
"Tani," the Government said, was
Miyazaki. Turntine further quoted
Thompson as declaring he was in the
employ Of the Japanese Government.
A pretty Japanese girl. Janet Ono,
waitress. testified that when Thomp-
son, her friend, was arrested and
placed in jail she delivered a message
for him TO the Japanese Consul in
Los Angeles.
Placed in evidence was the photo
stat Of letter Thompson wrote to
Miyasaki in which he rendered his
resignation from the service of your
country"
The letter, which the defendant said
he wrote but did not mail. read that
the resignation is Of my own doing
and free will and for the safeguard
Of my own person."

Thriii-SeekinE Aviatrix Had Not
Flown for Some Time.

ROCHESTER. N. Y, July 4 lP,.-
Ruth Barron Mason. killed In an air
crash at Omaha. Nebr., left here for
Denver on Wednesday.
Her abrupt flying departure TO par
ticipate in the national air races
at Denver. followed a period OF sew
eral months during which she showed
no apparent interest In flying and
had not been near her plane at the
municipal airport
Always a daring. thrill-seeking
flier, Mrs Mason took her plane to
the Cleveland air races last year,
but was grounded for stunting.
She began her flying career at her
home here and, although only Is. was
already a veteran Of the skyways.
Her flying instructor was Lieut. Otto
Enderton. World War pilot At 10 she
already was doing commercial and
stunt flying in Hollywood. In 1890
she won applause of flyers by landing
racing plane safely in the Arizona
Desert during the women's air derby.
She was in close third place when
forced out OF the race
In 1881 she left her Hollywood work
and with Capt. Thomas Ash went 10
Toxic, determined to be the first wom-
an to fiy the Pacific. Plans were laid
but the pretty, 20-year-old miss met
and married william Franklin Mason,
then American consul In Kobe, and the
flight was abandoned.
Much Of her reputation was built
upon her dexterous MANAGEMENT Of
many forced landings. Last Summer
she thrilled crowds with stunting here
at the centennial air show.
A wear ago she purchased from Jack
Wright OF Utica the special racing
monocoupe plane that carried her to
her death. Wright had flown the plane
in the London Australia air derby. He
failed to place among the winners but
completed the long flight.

what caused the accident.
Mrs. Mason was dead before res

so charred that tentative identifica-
ton had to be made from salvaged
pictures and papers. But, later in
