WEAKENED BOLT, UNGEARMG
STABILIzER BLAMED IN PLANE
CRASH FATAL TO ROBERT BOND
Witnesses Say Plane Had
Headed Back Toward
Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Oct. 10.
CUP).-A weakened shackle bolt
which apparently threw a stabiliz-
cr out of gear last night was
blamed for plane crash near
here which took the lives OF three
Daytona Beach men early yeSter-
day.
The three men in the plane
were killed instantly as 1t lost a
wing i'm midair and crashed to
earth near billiard only $50 yards
from an auxiliary landing field.
The dead:
Ralph U. Green. 35, real estate
operator and sportsman pilot.
Robert Bond. q real estate sales
man employed by Green.
Hearst Mcclellan, as, a garage
owner.
All were of Daytona Beach and
had taken off from an airport
there early Wednesday, en- route
70 Detroit. They had passed over
the airport here only few MN
utcs before the crash.
Investigation by student ayia-
tors, assisted by members OF a
nearby CCC camp, was said TO
have revealed that a weakened
shackle bolt which apparently
threw the stabilizer out of gear
was the cause of the trple-ta-
tally.
Green. at the controls of the
ship. apparently realized the ma
chine was in difficulty shortly al
ter il scared over the CCC camp
north of here.
witnesses said it circled the
camp and headed back toward
Jacksonville. A few seconds later,
however, one of the wings buckled
and dropped off.
As the plane wavered in midair,
the tail aSScmblage apparently
cave way and the ship nosed
sharply toward earth. The ship
crashed into the top of pine
tree. only $50 yards from an
emergency landing field.
Aid was rushed to the crash
from the CCC camp but all per-
sons in the ship were dead when
physicians arrived. The plane did
not catch fire, although it was q
total loss.
Green. friends said. had just
completed repairs to the ship af-
ter a noSe-over crash ut Orlando
two weeks ago. Investigators
spcculatcd on the possibility the
plane may have sustained struc-
tural damages which were unde-
tccted until they were accentuat-
ed by actual flying conditions yes

ROPER GIVEN
PEN TERM IN
ARSON CASE
Pleads Guilty Of Attempt
to Burn Certain
Dwellings
LATER TESTIFIES HE
BURNED MOODY HOME


John Roper. 81, charged with
arson i'm connection with the
burning Of the home Of his father
m-law, Il. l.. Moody, near OScc' a
Lake. ON June II, late yesterday
afternoon in superior court enter
ed a plea Of guilty to II charge
of attempting to burn certain
dwellings and other buildings.
Judge ii. Hoyle Sink, presiding,
sentenced the defendant TO serve
from s to 10 years ut hard labor
in states prison.
The plea of guilty to the lesser
offense was accepted by the court
and Solicitor G.. o. Rulings IN
view of the fact that arson Is Il
capital felony and the defendant
would have been tried for his bic,
and in view of the fact that "Vi-
dcnce against the defendant was
largely circumstantial.
Also entering the case was the
fact that the defendants wife,
Mr.. MoOdy'S daughter, was pro-
hibited by law from testifylng
against her husband. Her teStl-
mony was the only evidence with
which the state might definitely
have placed the defendant ut the
Moody home Il short time before
the house burned.
After accepting the plea and
before hearing evidence in the
case, Judge Sink declared that
the court had taken the view that
there was no intermediate Of
tense and that the jury would
have to convict of capita! *
ony or acQuit. "The offenSe,' ne
said. sis vicious and malicious
and it is not out of sympathy that
the court takes this action, be-
cause the court has no sympathy
for you (Roper). This action is
taken after mature consideration
and thought and the court takes
full responsibility for the course
of action taken"
After the court had heard teS-
timony, and after Roper had Ia
ken the stand and admitted burn
ing the Moody home, Judge Sink
said: "Thc Only reason | don I
give you 60 years is because l
can't under this plea. You are a
man who ought to be executed
1t is only because your wife can |
testify that the court has follow
ed this action. and YOU are the
beneficiary of law 700 years
old. But for that law you would
be headed for the electric char;

concerned if your father-ln- law
had killed you CAST March when

sympathy for you and want you
to serve the maximum sentence.
He then passed sentence, ana

tendcnt of the state prison, III
which he declared Roper to be u
vicious and dangerous criminal
He urged the superintendent to
take every precautiOn to prevent
Roper's escape, and declared that

LISBON, Oct. b. (UP) -
Spanish rebels continued their adj
vance on Madrid today after
breaking up a we'll organized 10y
alist counter offensive 40 miles
west of the capital.
The rebels pushed eastward
along the Alberche river to Pelay-
os after routing loyalist forces at
San Martin de Valdeiglesias,
junction point Of the insurgent
northern and southern armies.
The government spent an en-
tire day making plans for attack
ing San Martin, but the rebels re-
inforced then, lines and drove the
leftistS into retreat. The loyallsts
rushed planes into action, but
found they were outnumbcrcd.
The loyalist setback was believ-
ed by some observers to be the
signal for the long-awaited "fi.
nal" drive on Madrid. Rebel
sources said the campaign had
been worked out in every detail,
but was held up because of bad
weather.
Heavy fighting continued in
Oviedo. where the loyalist siege
against q small band of rebels
went into it's S7th day. Heavy
fighting in the streets between AS
turian miners and a rebel relief
column was reported. Madrid re.
ported the imminent capture of
the rebel band and one capital
newspaper proposed that the min
erS be transferred to the Madrid
front because Of their successful
use of homemade dynamite
bombs.
T he international situation
caused grave fears that the Span
ish war would bring further un.
rest in Europe. Soviet Russia de.
manded a virtual blockade Of
Portuguese ports to determine
whether foreign aid was being
furnished the rebels. Portugal
countered with a similar demand
that the loyalist seaports be put
under close scrutiny.
