[lands safely
with parachute
Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 20 (By tha As
sociated Press).---Presence of mind of
Lieut. H. R. Harris, chief of the flying
section at McCook Field probably
saved his life today, when be i
unstrapped his parachute and leOpet!
from his falling airplane. He lend- '
ed in a grape urbor in the yard of the
home of D*niel Barres and his shin ]
crashed to aerth, completely wrecked, |
in the yard of William Clingman,
nearby. 1
It was the first time an air setv- |
ice pilot has been saved in suek a
manner, according to officials at tha ]
field. The arbor into which Lieutea- j
ant Harris dropped gave way and he
fell to a cement walk. He was bad- j
iy bruised and scratched and was removed
to the McCook field hospital, ,
where physicians reported his condi- ,
tion not serious. i
, Scores of north Dayton citizens i
witnessed the accident and saw the
plane plunge to aartht. Mrs. Gora ]
Billings said she was standing in the
street near her home talking to a <
neighbor when she heard a loud crack. ]
"Looking up I saw the machine ]
falling. Pieces of the wings, broken j
off, fluttered downward." A moment
later I saw the parachute dropping? ,
then it poened gradually and floated ,
down." ]
Clingman and his six year old son, <
Thomas, had been working in the
back yard a few minutes before the j
plane fell. Mrs. Clingman heard the j
ah.1, .. fk.
masses as mm buiAtiu| v& giaoo no vur j
windows of her home were broken and \
thought hjer husband' and" son had j
been buried under the plane.
She fainted. ,
McCook field officials immediately
started an investigation. The acci- ,
dent ia believed to have been cause 1 ]
by a Weak wing support. The plane
was thrown into a nose dive at a
height of about 500 feet. Harris ,
realixed he was too near the eartn ]
to right the machine and took the
only avenue of escape in jumping.
Harris won the light commercial ,
plane event in the aeronautioal races
at Detroit last week.

TWO OFFICERS
KILLED IN WRECK
Macon, Ga., Oct. 20.?Adjt. Gen. J.
Veen Holt Nash, one of the best known i
military men in Georgia, and Lieut, i
H. M. Butler of Atlanta, were killed
at 8:30 o'clock tonight when an automobile
in which they were riding
turned turtle four and a half miles
from Griffin. Adjutant General
Nash's neck was broken and he died
in a Griffin hospital.
Maj. Charles Cox, commander of
the Atlanta battalion, sustained a
broken collar bone and broken ribs.
Lieut. H. A. Heine, driving the car,
is said to have been only slightly
injured.
Members of the party were returning
home from a barbecue given by '
Maj. G. E. Mallet and officers of the J
Jackson rifle company, to members
of the Georgia Infantry Officers' as- 1
sociation. * Officers from all over
Georgia were in attendance.
As the automobile in which the 1
Nash party was riding struck an un- j
paved section of the highway the I
driver of the car is believed to have
lost control of the machine, and ;t
plunged over an embankment, turning
turtle.
Maj. G. E. Mallet and other officers
went to the scene of the accident
and from there to Griffin, Ga.,
late tonight to conduct an official investigation
of the accident.
Meantime, Mrs. Nash was carried
from Atlanta to Griffin in an automobile.
The bodies of her husband
and of Lieutenant Butler will be returned
to Atlanta in tfie early morning

Adjutant General Nash had been
active in military affairs of Georgia
for many years. He was appointed
adjutant general, local officers stated,
by former Gov. Joseph Terrell about
12 years ago. He had held the place
since that time, with the exception
Df two years during the war, since
his appointment.
When war was declared Adjutant
General Nash was given a leave of
absence by Gov. tiUlgh Dorsey. He
attended a military camp and was
commissioned a major. He was assigned
to the War college at Washington
and served there throughout
day's barbecue.
Among Adjutant Qeiqeral Naah'a
last acts was the convening of a
board of inquiry here last month to
investigate alleged irregularities in
the affairs of hospital unit No. 114.
Major Cox, who commands the Atlanta
battalion and who was with
Adjutant General Nash in the fatal
accident, was on this board.
A little more than a year ago Adjutant
General Nash married a niece
of Walter D. Lamar of this city. At
the time of the marriage she was
Mrs. Swift, but her maiden name
was Miss Alberta Rankin.

Mrs. Barney Williams, of the Coleraine

strange attack. For 24 hours she has

her have proven futile. Yesterday
morning about 5 o'clock she wasi

prepared breakfast and when they
approached Mrs. Williams' bedside to
awake her for breakfast it was found
that it could not be done. The friends
of this good woman are baffled by
reason of this strange phenomenon.
She has been in this condition now

LITTLE LIGHT ON
DOUBLE MURDER
New Brunswick. N. J., Oct. 20.?
On the heeels of unconfirmed reports
that the grqnd jury of Somerset county
today had returned an indictment
in the Hall-Mills murder mystery, th#
investigation was given a sensational
twist tonight when it was officially
learned that an eyewitness to the
double shooting, a woman of reputable
character in New Brunswick,
had been discovered.
The interjection of this new phase
in the already greatly complicated
case was said to have been responsible
for the sudden turn today in the
activity of Prosecutor Beekraan, who
appeared before the grand jury at
Somerville.
The only handicap now retarding
the prosecutor in bringing the situation
to a climax was said to be the
problem of positive identification by
the newly found witness, as more
than one person is said to be involved
in tht crime.
Neither Mr. Beekman nor any other
court officials at the county seat in
Somerset could be induced to give
the slightest enlightenment on the
puzzling attitude of all concerned in
the inquiry.
Responsibility for the next move,
which is expected to be of a sensa
tional character, wus said now to be
squarely up to Prosecutor Beekman
...i _ it i __ j? Lt
\>nu is iiiuvin^ rauuuusiy in nis apparent
desire to be sure of his ground.
The home of Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall, widow of the slain rector, is
vigilantly guarded by state troopers
and all attempts to communicate with
the house by telephone have been
unsuccessful.
Prosecutor Beekman urged even to
intimate if the grand jury had taken
up the murder mystery today, refused
the slightest information, asserting
that all grand jury proceedings arc
absolutely secret and that any reports
supposedly coming from his office
were unauthorized. He said, however,
satisfactory progress was being
made in the investigation. For
the first time since the bodies of the
rector and the slain choir singer were
discovered Prosecutor Beekman and
County Detective Totten permitted
newspaper men to see the clothing
botht wore when they were killed.
falrie, there being only two small
holes in the hack of the coat between
the shoulders which may have been
caused possibly in dragging the body
to the spot where it was found. He
wore no waistcoat and had on a business
man's collar instead of his customary
clerical collar, a white tie and
a panama hat. The collar and tie
were bloodstained.
Mrs. Mills wore a dark blue lawn
dress with red polka dots which was
blood stained above the waist, and a
blue underskirt.
Working separately of all others
who are investigating Prosecuting
Attorney Strieker of Somerset county
prepared to uestion at least five persons
in an effort to obtain sufficient
evidence to warrant an arrest. The
vestryman of Rev. Hall's church, who
said he had been in the neighborhood
of the Phillips house in company with
young women members of the church
the night of the murder, will be quesj
tioned.
Death of Mrs. R. C. Farr
Mrs. R. C. Farr died at the Wallace
Thomson hospital last Wednesday and
fcber body was brought to the home of
her pnrents, Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Inman.
She was buried on Thursduy
at Mt. Tabor. The funeral services
were conducted by her pastor, Rev.
Mr. Estes. The church was overflowing
with her many friends and loved

to her. Mrs. Farr, on her deathbed,
said sh* was prepared and willing to
go, but hated to depart from hei

JURY FNDS CARR
GUILTY OF MURDER
St. George, Oct. 20.?Guilty of
murder with recommendation to the
mercy of the court was the verdict
of the jury in the case against William
Carr, Jr., convicted here today
of the killing of John C. Patrick. .
The jury reached a verdict and returned
to the court room at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon after having
deliverated for more than three
hours. The court was engaged in the
trial of a civil case when the verdict
was announced. Judge Memminger
said sentence would not be passed
upon the convicted man until tomor
row morning.
The young man was surrounded by
rnembers of his family. He showed
no signs of emotion when the verdict
was read by the clerk of court.
Messrs. Connor & Behlinger, local
counsel for the defense, have intimated
nothing thus far as to a motion
for a new trial or an apoeal to the
supreme court.
After both sides had closed Thursday
afternoon, the prosecution called
several witnesses on reply this morning.
The testimony did not differ materially
from that of yesterday with
the exception of one wtiness who tes
tified that Carr had told him that he
did not understand why he had not
killed Putrick as he had pulled both
triggers of the gun.
Oscar Owens, policeman of St.
George, testified that he had seen
the convicted man in the county jail
on the morning after the shooting
and that when told that the shot had
taken effect in Patrick's abdomen,
Carr, the witness testified, said that
he had aimed at his head.
Walker S. Utsey made the iirst argument
for the prosecution, followed
by William C. Wolfe for the defense
the closing argument for the state
being made by Solicitor Hydrick. The
arguments were among the most eloquent
and convincing ever listened to
in the Dorchester county court house.
Particularly clear and logical was the
appeal of Mr. Wolfe, who consumed
more than an hour and both Solicitor
Hydrick and Mr. Utsey spoke forcefully.
Although the crowd today was
not so large as yesterday, every
available seat was occupied and many
had to remain standing.
Yesterday afternoon the Union
high school. football team added one
more victory to its record when Hastoc
was taken into camp by the score
of 13 to 0. The score is not an exact
indication of the strength of the opposing
teams for at two other points
of the game the Union lads were
stopped in their mad rush toward-.
Hasto'- s goal by ill timed and rather
drastic penalties from the officials.
Hastec received the ball on the kick
off and made two first downs before
the Union lads stiffened. These gains
were practically the only ones the locals
obtained throughout the entire
game.
During the first half the Union Hi
backs did not show the same pep and
vim that was so much in evidence a
week ago when they defeated Spartanburg
Hi 19 to 7. However, after
the intermission between the halves,
the visitors marched back on the field
wnn i-ne determination to curry tin*
ball across the last line on Hastoc's
side of the field.
Union received to begin the second
half. By straight line plunges the
ball was carried to within the shadow
of Hastoc's goal. At this stage the
locals braced up and took the ball on
downs. Hastoc tried to punt the ball
on the first play. As the back recei\
ed the ball and attempted to boot i!
out of the danger zone, the Union lint
rushed in and blocked the play. The
ball bounced over Hastoc's gonl line
and a Union player fell on it for a
touchdown, tlv first score of the
. game.
^tfear the end of the game when Union
had again advanced the ball well
( into enemy territory, the locals again
( received the ball on downs, but on
their attempt to punt the ball was
I again blocked by a Union player.
I Straight line plunges took the ball
r the ten yards necessary for a touchdown.
Thomas added one more point
| from a place kick.
Plummer Thomas was the outstand,
ing star of the game. His line
r smashes and end runs were above the
average seen in high school games.
I The whole team, though, acquitted
' themselves well in the last half and
easily deserved the lusty cheering
that was handed to them.
About 25 or 50 automobiles, filled
with .ttaunch Union supporters journeyed
to Spartanburg to cheer the
t home team.
