Kidnapping another motorist in
their wild flight from the law, the
widely sought desperate. Benny
Dickson, and his blonde wife were
reported early today to have
broken out of hiding for a dash
into Wisconsin.
A couple answering their de-
Scription accosted Earl Hollis near
his home on the North Side and at
gun point forced him to drive
them to suburban Evanston.
The man, Hollis said, wore a
head bandage as Dickson had been
doing in the latter stages of the
chase he and his wife led police
across three States Monday. He
was slightly wounded in a brush
with Michigan police.
Opposite the campus of North
western University, the man made
Hollis stop and they were met by
another automobile containing
two men.
State police and local depart
ments in all North Shore towns
to the Wisconsin border were i'm
mediately notified and a highway
blockade was manned to bar the
escape.
Dickson had been sought for
several weeks in connection with
a South Dakota bank robbery.

Gordon Sadur, tax account

Sadur, one of the defendants in
the Warning tax conspiracy case,

The answer came while Sadur,
who testified he was paid $1,000
by the brothers for being income
tax consultant during the period
of 1886, was being closely ques'
toned about the part he played
in the 1885 returns filed by the
alleged numbers barons.
Sadur said he had made up 6

the individual returns. The latter
he said, were all alike, except thai

Under cross examination he de
clared that he asked Emmitt War

SEA SEARCHED
FOR BODIES OF
PLANE VICTIMS
Radio Beams Clash Is
Blamed in Tragedy

POINT REYES, Cal.,. Nov. 80
UN.SD Coast Guardsmen today
patrolled the cliff-lined shore of
the graveyard of the Pacific, the
desolate Point Reyes area, 80 miles
north of San Francisco, searching
for the bodies of five persons
drowned when a lost United Air
Lines plane pancaked into the
ocean after running out of fuel.
Lieut.. Comdr. S. B. johnson,
Coast Guard district commander,
said all hope had been abandoned
for the missing five persons.
1.-THE surf and the rocks are
o death trap" he said. "The
coast line is so treacherous that
we discontinued the search dur
ing the night. There was no use
risking the lives of our men in
the dark"
Two Lives Saved
Two persons reached shore
safely, Chief Pilot Charles B.
Stead, 40, and Isadore D. Edel-
stein, 81, a passenger, released
from the Walla Walla, WASH,
State prison on parole last week
and en- route to Australia.
The others were thrown into
the raging surf as the plane was
caught by huge combers, and
flung to the rocks on the shore
where it pounded to fragments.
Those missing are CoPllot
Lloyd Jones, 20, of Seattle; Frona
Bobby" Clay, "a, stewardess, OF
Garrison, Utah; I. B. Heflebower,
San Francisco bond firm partner;
Philip Hart, So, of San Francisco
and Portland, president Of the
Pacific Bridge Company, and H.
L. Shonts. 81, San Jose, CAL,
mining engineer.
Fears were held that the bodies
may never be found. Scores of
vessels have foundered in past
years off Point Reyes-but only
rarely have the bodies of victims
been found.
A strong ebb tide was flowing
and the missing persons must
have been swept to sea, unless
their bodies were caught in the
thick beds OF kelp along the shore.
AS Government and airline Of
ficials sped from the East to open
q searching inquiry, reports of
the two survivors and other evil
dence indicated the crash was u
tragedy that should never have
happened"
Weather Too Good
Those aboard the plane had
every chance for survival-there
was every reason why they should
have come through unframed, but
q strange combination of freakish,
ironic conditions brought disaster.
Outstanding of the vagaries were
these:
Those aboard the ship clam
bered to the top of the fuselage
as a safety" precaution, and five
were swept off. If they had re-
NAMED within the cabin, they
undoubtedly would have been un-
harmed. The interior of the ship
was completely dry when Coast
Guardsmen reached it as it lay
in the surf.
TOO perfect" weather caused
the accident, according to Pilot
Stead. So clear was the atmo-
sphere that the pilot received
numerous radio-beam signals and
was unable to pick up any single
one to follow to safety.
