Tragedy Is
Now Deeper

Lakehurst. N. j., May IL (AP)-
The mystery of the 100000 Hind
enburg disaster deepened further to-
day as aeronautical experts appeared
inclined to scout the two foremost
theories advanced for her destruction.
When the silvery sky cruiser plung-
ed to destruction in the horrible n.y.

suppositions were either spark of
static electricity from the ground or
a backfire spark from an overhead
ed motor touched off the highly in
fIammable gas Both hypothesis were
in question TODAY.
Commander Charles Rosendahl,
eyewitness of the disaster, and the
countrys ranking dirigible expert,
dealt a blow to the ground spark the
ory' yesterday when he indicated
strongly he did not believe this or
lightning was responsible for the
ships doom.
The unanimity of Rosendahl and
other expert eye-witnesses as to the
exact spot where the furiously burn
ing fire first broke out appeared to-
day to bring into serious question the
possibility of an engine back fire
spark acting as a torch to the gas.

Newark, N. j., May 11.-(AP)-
Paul Wendell, former Trenton, N. j.,
lawyer was called upon by defense
counsel today to account for his where
abouts on the day the Lindbergh baby
was kidnapped from it's Hopewell
home.
AS the cross-examination took this
unexpected turn it was not apparent
whether the questioning was the start
of a defense attempt to prove Wen
del was involved" in the celebrated
crime, as Ellis Parker, chief of Bur
1ington county detectives, has pre-
viously contended.
When Wendels false confession of
guilt in the crime was produced on
the eve of Bruno Hauptmann's sche-
duled execution for the kidnapping, de-
laying the execut n, Parker said he
was told one OF the jurors said he
considered the former Trenton lawyer
guilty as hell"
The Parkers are accused of con-
spring in the kidnapping and torture
which Wendell claims made him give
the spurious confession.
