County Could Save $4,000 And
Put Money Into Actual Building
OF Beach, Officials Said Today

Belief was expressed today by
county officials that Monroe
county could save $4,000 in the
purchase of the West Martello
Tower site and use it for actually
constructing the beach.
At the same time these same
public officials said that the work
might go forward before the
county actually got title to the
property simply on a letter from
a nigh official of the War Assets
Administration that the deal
would go through as arranged
yesterday at Jacksonville.
p. w. Spalding, engineer in
charge of planning the beach, said
today that the plans are nearly
ready and would be completed
within few days after the county

CAA is as susceptible to inveSti-
cation os anyone else. 1t must
keep tabs on such things as flight
loads, proper check-outs and ra-
dio contacts.
When active detective work is
finished, they hold public hear
ings at which all findings are
aired.
The list of successful CAB in
designations include every imagi-
nable cause from hawk gliding
into the propeller orbit to an ex-
blossom resulting from an cleo
trio arc. But these are not the
real detectives of CAB sleuths.
We're out to discover what
went wrong so that remedies
may be found and repetitions
prevented" Chrisp said.

$500 Jews To Be
Landed In Port
OF Hamburg


LONDON, Aug. o. The Brit
ish government announced today
that it had decided to remove
the $500 Jews aboard the steam
ship Exodus in southern France
to Hamburg, Germany.
The Jews were given till noon
today to go back to France, from
where they had embarked in an
attempt to enter Palestine but not
a one of them left the ship. They
also said they would not leave
the ship when she arrives in Ham,
burg, but British authorities
stated that they had arranged to
have troops to remove the Jews
from the ship.
They had been aboard the
Exodus 25 days in southern
France, after the ship had been
intercepted by British destroys
while trying to make port in
Palestine. Instead of sending
them to the Island of Cyprus, as
had been done with other Jew
ish emigrees, the British took
charge of the Exodus and sailed
her back to France.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-08-22

knows how much it will have for
the actual construction.
1t is Spalding's opinion that
$4,000, the difference between
the TWO bids, is quite d lot of
money and to spend it on the
beach itself will mean cutie a
difference IN the completeness of
the plans.
Belief was expressed by some
county officials today that the
work could go ahead some time
before the county actually gets
title to West Martello Tower. 1t
was their opinion that written
statement from a high official of
the War Assets Administration
setting forth that the deal was
going through would be sufficient
guarantee TO the county.
There is no reason why the
work can't go ahead before the
county actually gets title to the
property said one county official
today. Let the county save $25,-
600, but let the work go forward
so we can have the beach for the
coming season"
Construction of the beach at
West MarteIlo Tower means the
installation of about 1000 feet of
breakWall 10 keep the beach from
blowing away in storms, the lay
ing of about 1000 cubic yards of
sand, which the county will get

county at WAS opening of seal
ed bids.
Bentley said that unless there
was bid in the mail not received
by WAA by 10 am. Thursday. the
hour of the bid openings, the
county was the only bidder. 1t
Was considered improbable, he
said, that there were other bids.
The commissioners submitted a
non-priorHy bid of $4,000 and
priority bid of $4,000 for the
choice site picked for the proposed
quarter million dollar beach. The
larger bid could be processed at
once with the WAA regional of
flee III Atlanta and the county
could get title TO the 11.9 acres in
q week or ten days, Bentley said.
The $4,000 bid. however. must
be negotiated with Washington
authorities and would delay &C
QUESTION by the county for 80 to
60 days, he explained. Because
Of the $4,000 involved, Bentley
and HlggS decided not to make
decision on the spot and returned
to Key West to have the commits
sion make the choice at the spe-
cial meeting tomorrow morning
in the courthouse.
We want as sfls5K ~people as
possible at that meeting TO voice
their opinions" Bentley said.
Fears that a restaurant operator
here was going to submit a COM
petlng bid against the county were
dispelled at least for the time be-
ing when WAA said the county
was the only bidder it had heard
from. Bentley and Higgs CON
fcrred with Lyle Pritchard, direc-
tor of the Jacksonville office. and
pointed out that the city and
county have given considerable
to the government at va
rlous times and that the county
IS justified in seeking the reason

Watson T0Die
In Chair For
Navy Killing
FEDERAL JUDGE HOL-'
LAND DENIES MOTION
DEFENSE FOR NEW
TRIAL

Death in the electric chair the
week of October 6 was the SEN
tence yesterday of Federal Judge
John w. Holland given David
Joseph Watson. %, Navy cook,
who was convicted by a United
States Court jury in Key West
August z of killing a l9-year-old
white seaman here July rs, 1916.
Judge Holland. sitting in Fed
ersl Court at Miami, denied a
motion by John G.. Sawyer, Key
West, and A. G. Dressler, Miami,
attorneys for Watson, for new
and third trial. Sawyer and Ores
sler notified the judge at once
they would file an appeal from
the sentence.
Imposing the sentence, Judge
Holland designated the electric
chair at Florida State Prison al
Raiford as the means by which
Watson must pay with his life for
the killing of Benjamin Leroy
Hobbs.
When the death sentence was
passed the only sound in the
Miami courtroom was the sob
bing of Watson's mother, a school
teacher of Blue Ridge Summit,
Pa. She trailed behind her son
as a detective lead Watson out
of the room and into the Dade
County Jail.
In two trials here Watson was
found guilty of first degree muir
der for the death of Hobbs, whose
body was found in a gun tub
aboard the Navy destroyer, USS
Stribling. 49,. ,.ss,.. -..-
Watson won a second trial on
a motion by his attorneys be-
cause Judge Holland, who pre-
sided at both trials. had not warn
cd the jury that the man might
be found guilty of second degree
murder if they thought him in
sane at the time he committed
the crime.
a new federal statute, a fed
eral prisoner must be executed
by mthod used in the state
in which the crime was COM
mitted. Watson will thus die in
the electric chair at Raiford, un-
less his attorneys are successful
in their appeal of Judge Hollands
decision.
