THE ATTORNEYS WILL ASK FOR
A NEW TRIAL — THE JURY

Triaj Was One Of The Most Sensa
tional In The History Of The
Federal Court In Georgia

herf K. Sartain, fortlwr Warden of the
Atlanta federal prison, and Laurence
(“Heinie") Khiel of Columbus, Ohio,
guilty, and Looney .1 Fletcher, for
nier deputy warden, innocent, was re
turned by the jury in the federal court
trial of the three defendanta on the
charge of conspiracy to accept bribes.
Attorneys announced that they
would petition for a rfew -Trial
The maximum penalty under th s
charge is two years' imprisonment and
a $l().nuo fine.
After deliberating more than seven
hours, the jury in the consolidated
case against Albert E Sartain, for
liter warden of the Atlanta federal
prisonf Looney j. Fletcher, former^
deputy warden, and Laurence (“Hei
nie") Khiel of Columbus, Ohio, charg
ed with conspiring to accept money
from wealthy prisoners in retyrn for
assignment to "soft jobs,” filed into
the c4jurt room and reported to the
ju'dfje its finding.
Trial of the accused men opened
February !•. making eleven days con
sumed for consideration of the case.
The trial has been one of the most
sensational in the history of the fed
eral court here, with allegations of
bribes running into thousands of dol
lars, followed by denials and declara
tions of the accused men that—they
are Mie victims of a conspiracy.
The interest that existed in the
case has been manifested by the pres
ence in the court room of a large num
ber of spectators awaiting the verdict
of the jury. Some of them remained
in the court room constantly from the
time the jury started deliberations
until they returned to the court room.
_1 The three defendants remained in
the United Stab's court room with
their attorneys, friends and relatives
until all hope of a verdict Jiad van
ished.
The jury took the case after an al
most eight hour, session of the court
devoted to closing testimony, argu
ments and judge’s charge. Arguments
consumed the full five-hour period di
vided equally between opposing sides,
but the judge’s charge was brief and
decidedly technical.
That the jury strove valiantly and
hoped to reach a* verdict was Indicat
ed by repeated messages sent to Judge
Ervin. At eleven the judge instruct
ed the deputy marshal on duty at the
jury room to inform the Jurors he was
going to retire and that they could do
likewise.
A message roquestiag an additional
ten or fifteen minutes was sent hack.
Judge Ervin accordingly retired to
his chambers and waited.
The jury again’ sent out a message
requesting an additional ten minutes.
This failed to produce a verdict and
at midnight Judge Ervin departed for
his hotel, leaving instructions that if
a verdict was reached lie should he
awakened.
The jury was apprised of the fact
that the judge had retired and in an
swer to queries as to whether its
members would like to do the same
sent back a message that “the judge,
the defetge attorneys and the defend
ants can go home, but we are going to
stav here until we do something.
This spirit, however, apparently
lagged after several hours, for the
jury requested to lie allowed to retire.

Kills Parents And Then Himself
Urescoe, Iowa.- Asserting that age
and disease had made .the lives of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D.
Dunn, useless, and as a means of end
ing their suffering. Will Dunn shot and
killed them, then ended his own life.
During the war he served as a chap
lain. He was a West Point graduate.
In businesslike notes, Dunn explain
ed the disease, age and suffering of
his parents as a “burden to them
selves and relativees.” To prove the
sincerity of his belief, he ended his
own life, a note said.
Bombing Pfanes Complete Tests
San Pedro, Calif.—Soaring at a
height of six thousand feet, five Unit
ed States battle fleet bombing planes
recently completed a. series of mimic
warfare tests here. Fifty bombs, each
containing 117 pouhds of high explo
sive, were dropped from the planes.
An old seaplane, towed 700 yards to
sea, was the target and although at
the high altitude it was scarcely dis
cernible, every bomb loosdd came so
dose that navy officials declared they
would have been perfect hits if the
target had been a battleship.
Ford Railroad Issue May Be Sold
Washington.—For the first time
since Henry Ford became involved in
railroad operations, one of his trans
portation corporations applied to the
interstate commerce commission for
permission to issue new securities
without simultaneously announcing
that Mr. Ford himself would buy them.
Washington. — President Uoolidge
added a new chapter to the air serv
ice controversy by making public the
report of a special navy board con
vened by his direction, which found
that the battleship remained “the fi
nal arbiter in sea warfare.” and that
the airplanes would never “assume
paramount importance.”
At tiie saihe time, the president is
sued a formal statement in explana
tion of the thirty million dollar sup
plemental naval estimates, recently
submitted to congress by the budget
bureau, which were founded on rec
ommendations of the navy board, hut
sharply modified. ' The complete build
ing program submitted by the board
involved expenditures of $80,000,000 a
year for three years.
The president makes no reference
to the board’s findings as to relative
and military value of aircraft, battle
ships #nd submarines, the problem he
assigned it to study when he directed
that it he convened last September.
He adopts the board's view, however,
that modernization of old battleships
(not including the elevation of guns)
is the first requirement, completion
of aircraft carriers and their planes
second, and construction of two 10.-
000-ton cruisers third..
The hoard’s building program was
scaled down by the president all along
the line, however, to reduce the im
mediate cost from eighty million dol
lars to thirty million dollars. The
memorandum described the president
as ’’feeling that an exhenditure of
that magnitude (eighty million dol
lars) was not warranted at the pres
ent time.”
Included in the board’s report Is a
detailed statement of the bombing ex
periments recently made on the hull
of the unfinished battleship Washing
ton. made public for the first time.
It shows that three 2,000 pound bombs
were exploded under water near the
ship and two "torpedo explosions” of
largest size (400 pounds of explosives)
set off in contact with the underwater
hull, the ship remaining afloat four
days thereafter and riding out a storm.
