The absence of the charm

But Notwithstanding the withdrawal
of the charge, the attorney general
said the proctor had thoroughly sifted
the evidence, for there were cir
cumstances connected with this case
which made it in my opinion proper
case for investigation"
The Kings proctor, the attorney
general continued, had three matters
in mind:
Il. Whether the case was an ar
ranged or collusive one.
20. Whether petitioner (Mrs. Simp-
SOM was an accessory to or connived
at adultery
49, Whether there had been any
conduct on the part of the petitioner
which made her not entitled to relief"
Stephenson, it was disclosed, had
failed to comply with the law by back
ing up his intervention last December
with affidavitS.
"Mr. Stephenson" the attorney gen.
eral said, told the Kings proctor he
was not possessed of any evidence to
support his allegations and they were
based on rumors which he had heard
from friends and news which he had
seen in the press"
The attorney general said the proctor,
Sir Thomas Barnes, had received a
vast number of letters based for the
most part upon merest gossip and
rumor."
Many Of them he said, emphasized
the fact, however, that case which
might ordinarily have been expected
Evening star., 1937-03-19

where he had heard himself referred
to throughout the hearing as just
MT Stephenson"
THE facts as put before your lord
ship by the learned attorney general
are substantially correct and that ap-
plies to any steps taken by me and
anything that may have been said
by me since"
Before he issued the order wiping
out Stephenson's Intervention, the
president said he had exercised his
own power because "of the importance
there should be no legitimate grounds
for suspicion in the public mind that
this case Is being treated differently
from any other case"
Pointing out further objections
could be filed up to the last moment
before the divorce was made absolute,
the president directed any further
proceedings be held in open court.
Denies Pressure" of Any Kind.
Stephenson, the attorney general
informed the court emphatically, had
withdrawn his intervention without
pressure of any kind or from any
source"
Norman Birket, who appeared for
Mrs. Simpson at Ipswich, and Walter

to come up in London in fact came up
In Ipswich"
The same question was raised by Sir
Boyd, who questioned Birkett on the
basis for placing the original applica-
ton at the little town.
"It was a matter that troubled the
learned Judge who tried the case"
Sir Boyd said. IT want to know some
thing about 1t too"
Birkett paused for a moment, then
declared the responsibility rested with
him as Mrs. Simpson "in al matters
OF procedure acted on advice"
He added she was "then suffering
and was now suffering great nerve
strain" and in the circumstances he
thought best to deal with the case as
quickly as possible.
He referred, he said, to the crowded
condition of the London court lists
and emphasized Mrs. Simpson had
intended to reside in FelixstoWe-in
the Ipswich jurisdiction-for a con-
siderable time.
Certain conditions" arose, how
ever, he declared, which made 1t I'M
possible for her to maintain that
residence.
Referring to "rumors and gossip"
he added "the petitioner cannot ex-
pect to be free from these things"
The application, Sir Donald said,
was made because he understood that
as long as the Intervention remained
on file the divorce could not be made
absolute.
He wanted it cleared up, he told the

who was crew member from Oakland,
checked over the plane during the
night, while Miss Earhart rested at the
Waikiki Beach home of Christian R.

The aviatrix, who said she was ter

from Oakland, appeared refreshed
after several hours rest. She was at

just before the landing at Wheeler

PREDICT SUCCESS
FOR MISS EARHART
Federal Air Officials See I'M
portant Contribution to
Air Safety.

Federal air officials, predicting to-
day that Amelia Earhart will make
important contributions to air safety
expressed confidence she will complete
her trail-blazing fight around the
world successfully.
Eugene Vidal, returning to Washing
ton after aiding the aviatrlX make
preparations for her fight, said: Sure,
she'll make it. She knows as much
about long distance flying as anybody
IN the country"
Vidal, former Air Commerce Bureau
director and now Government aero
nautics adviser, said Americas first
woman of the air" had taken every
precaution in arranging for the flight.
Asserting that Miss Earhart will
1nd out lot" which may increase air
safety generally, Vidal added that "she
has every type of safety gadget you
can put on plane"
The manner in which these instru-
ments function will do much to DEM
onstrate their usefulness, Vidal con-
tinued.
In addition, he said, Miss Earhart S
stop at HoWland Island will show its
value as stepping stone" for Pacific
flights. Vidal described Rowland as
''only a little coral-reefed sand bar
about half a mile wide"
The former air director expressed
doubt, however, that Miss Earhart
will contribute much to knowledge of
the human element in operating
planes
Things that may be easy for her, y
he said with laugh, might be aW-
fully difficult for the rest of US
Rex Martin, an Air Commerce Blu
reau official, said: Il don't think
there is the slightest doubt Miss Ear
hart will succeed"
She has the one thing you neec
most for success-brains.
