Ls way on foot out of the steaming

y Newton C. Marshall, Milwaukee
lining engineer, who was brought to

Weak from his thrilling expertices,
Marshall was given medical
tent ion and then related what hapened
after the crqsh- of the Scadta
rliner "Von Korhn" near the Uride
iver on March 10 while on a flight
fer the famed Choco mining district.

were killed when the pilot, Capt.
Walter Geek, brought the machine
down in a forced landing' after having
been in the air four hours. The
two were Julio Zuniga, a government
employe, and Alexander NoU, a private
aviation expert.
The mechanic, named Jjlancke, and
the pilot were injured, but thfc.v mechanic.
was sent to obtain aid. He
disappeared in the dense forests and
never was seen again.
Marshall himself wap hurt in the
accident. He lost moat of his teeth
and had several mouth lacerations.
But ho decided to stick to the plane
and guard the large shipment of gold
which the plane was carrying for the
government mint at Medellin.
For two weeks Marshall remained
at the wreck but eventually he 'llg
ured that help was not coming' and
so ho set out for civilization.
Being an old hand in fighting the
jungles, from which few whites have
ever emerged alive, Marshall managed
to keep on moving and on March
j 27 ho was found by a group of primi
itive Indians, noted for tho use of
poison darts propelled by blow guns.
Tho Indians, after giving him aid,
agreed to guide him to the nearest
town and as they walked along a
jungle trail the party came upon tho
body of (.'apt. (leek, the pilot, who,
also, hud tried to reach tho outside
world.
Officials indicated that Marshall
will be tyken to the town of Pereiru
in Oaldas department for further
treatment. IIo was still suffering
from his four weeks in the back
country but was somewhat .improved.

Lawyer Tells Clients
To "Tell The Truth"
Finis not yet been, written in
the bank robbery case in which $60,000
was taken from a messenger, yind
in which five men were convicted
within J,t,ss than one month after tho
robbery had been perpetrated. One
of the best stories of the entire case
oamo to light with the disclosure of
the fact that l>. B Leatherwood, attorney
for three of the live defendants,
returned a fee of $1,000 and
advised his clients to ' tell the truth.
Mr. Leatherwood had been retained
by R. C. Willmon, John Coreo and
Henry Lindsay, and had been paid
$1,000. As development followed development
in the case, however, ho
said he became convinced of the defendants'
guilt, and did not believe it
right to represent them.
"1 called all of them and returned
the money each had paid, he said.
'To one 1 gave $1,000, and to two of
the others, $J00 each. I told them-to
toll tho truth, and to plead guilty in
court.
1 further told them that 1 would
if they wished, make a plea for them
and would not accept a cent for so
doing. 1 did that and made no charge
for what services I could rentier in
that respect."
Mr. Leatherwood, when seen today,
said he was'not seeking any publicity
in the case, and had desired none, llo
did, in answer to questions, state the
case as set forth above.
"And that was all 1 could do," he
said. "I always endeavor to be conscientious
.and if 1 cannot believe in a
man's innocence, 1 could not accept
his money to represent him.^ It would
not be right ami that is the reason I
advised tl>ym to plead guilty^, even
though it meant the loss of tht^fee as
stated.?-Greenville Piedmont.
Eggs Are Cheap
Source of Food
Clemson College, April 1). When
eggs are selling for 16 to 20 cents,
there is no other source of food that
can compete with them in price per
unit of nutritivo value, thinks P. H.
Gooding, extension poultryman who
advises that housewives throughout
South Carolina should capitalize on
the present prices of eggs and feed
them to the family daily.
"In addition to their adaptability
in cooking, eggs are easily and rapidly
digested and are very palatable",
Mr. Gooding states. "These qualities
make it possible to serve eggs in some
way at every meal without members
of the family getting tired of them
and without causing digestive disturbances.
"Eggs are a tissue-building food,
being rich in protein and mineral
matter. They are among the first
foods to be fed to little children because
they are rich in iron and because
the proteins, fats, and mineral
substances are especially well suited
to building body tisssues. The fat in
egg yolk contains substances which
stimulate growth. Therefore, egg
yolk is valuable in the diet of children.
Eggs are also especially valuable in
the diet of people who are suffernig
from tuberculosis, or other wasting
diseases."
To clinch his advice Mr. Gooding
quotes the popularly stated truth that
an egg a day will increase baby's
weight; paint sister's checks; make
brother strong; keep mother young;
and help papa bring home the bacon.
Joseph F. Davenport, 84; is in jail
at Willliarhston, N. C., charged with
killing his wife, 26, and shooting their
7-months-old baby. Jealousy over the
alleged attentions of a neighbor is
said to have been the cause of the
tragedy.
Jesse Jones, chairman of RFC, told
Washington reporters this week that
indications are that money is getting
easier to borrow from bunks over the
country and that the demand for government
loans is less than anticipated.
An Arkansas legislature has been
called for its special session during
the administration of Governor Futrell,
next Monday, to take action to
save a federal grant and loan of $L- '
765,000 for the state hospital for
nervous diseases.
Despite the fact that the bill .to
control stock exchange markets has
the O. K. of President Roosevelt, it
is predicted in Washington that tho
bill will be modified in several particulars,
making it less drastic than it
Is at present?
