Mrs. Reynolds's son, Robert, 17, was watching the ship from the landing field when it plunged to earth. By the time he and other witnesses reached the scene, the three victims were dead from the impact and from the flames.

The bodies were burned. Mrs. Reynolds was a student flier and today's was to have been one of her last flights before she obtained her pilot's license.

Obendoerfer had gone to Colorado Springs. Mrs. Hahn, who, Denver bank officials said, posed as Mrs. Obendoerfer, tried to collect the money, but they refused her, saying they would not take the responsibility of sending the. money to Colorado Springs because the original agreement was to deposit the money in their bank.

Then Obendoerfer died. Bank officials, according to word sent to Police Chief Eugene T.

MAYOK WINS I'RAISK. The Governor commended the Republican Mayor of Columbus for his program of requiring able-bodied relief recipients to work for their food, calling it "one of the most useful things that has been done." He said the reliefers would have more self-respect if they worked. He also said the expense of overhead should be reduced.

The Governor said that last year the state placed $27,000,000 In the relief funds, but he felt fully one-third of It wasted because it was "easy money." He added, "The state has been impoverishing itself to finance relief and it is rather trying to see the funds wasted." The Governor asserted the state needed funds for institutional rehabilitation and added, "We always live in the dread of some major catastrophe at one of our state institutions." "The state must stop milking Itself dry," he concluded on this phase. He then said that the state tax suggestion was a "sensible suggestion." The Governor did not appear to accept the idea that relief is a permanent thing.

He then urged the city representatives to "strip their proposals of fancy aspects and get down to common sense." Prior to the visit to the Governor's office the city men told what was wrong in the various communities.

Shortage of funds appeared to be the prevailing complaint. Many of the conferees agreed they could not match funds with the state. James G. Williams, Finance Director of Portsmouth, said his city would have no money after September 1. Walter J.

Braun, City Manager of Middle-town, said the Civic Association had financed operations thus far, but admitted it was helpless after September 1. The stories from other communities ran closely parallel to these two. In general, the load of dobt for former activities Is the stumbling block. Senator Howard L. Shearer, Hamilton County, inquired whether the state should encourage community helplessness by financing the relief or whether they should be compelled to carry their own burdens.

According to Miss Lammers, about five years ago a woman began coming to her place whom she knew only by the name of Eva. This womati, becoming confidential, told Miss Lammers that she was being "taken care of" by a wealthy man who had placed here in a $3,000 apartment in Avondale. Eva frequently would weep and say she did not know whether she ought to marry the man or not. Miss Lammers advised her to do so.

Later, the woman informed her that she and the man had arranged to marry twice. The first time the wedding was postponed. Mrs. Albert Meyer of Germany. On a visit to Germany in 1932, Kohler told Mrs.

To Join Arctic Hunt The neighbor said it seemed strange to him because Wagner never had mentioned Mrs. Hahn until a few days before he died.

Because police doubt Mrs. Hahn's story of her having been married to Dr. Max Matscheki, who, she says, was a physician in Vienna, they revealed that Mrs. Hahn had been asked to show her license recording her marriage to Hahn. Detective Hart said she told him she could not show it to him because she had sent it to her mother in Germany.

Early in the questioning of Mrs. Hahn, the blond prisoner told of her weakness for betting on race horses. She once related that sho had to obtain a $9,000 mortgage on her Colerain Avenue property, left her by Ernst Kohler, another man she had nursed, because of the race horse bets. Later she said the mortgage was negotiated to obtain money to settle with Kohler's relatives, who had contested the will. Mrs.

Hahn's name has been on more tongues in handbooks and betting places in Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington, and in 'the valley" in recent days than was the name of Man o' War at any time, police remarked yesterday. Mrs. Hahn is known to scores of bookmakers and bettors. One "bookie" is reported to have said: "She was poison to me. Look at this." He displayed what he called "a bundle of bad paper" signed by Mrs.

Hahn for bets she had lost. Fifth District police, in the Camp Washington district, where Mrs. Hahn has her home, said that "we broke up a book she tried to run." This handbook was supposed to have been in the restaurant Mrs, Hahn operated with her husband. Detective Fred Stagenhorst and Patrolman Norman Ruppert were assigned to curb betting when the Hahns operated the restaurant. They said they never wore successful in making an arrest for betting, but that they knew "a book was in the place." They said they walked in and out of the place so often that the handbook was broken up.

Schattle checked another report that Mrs. Hahn was supposed to have been married to Obendoerfer before she left Cincinnati with him. The wedding was to have taken place In Cincinnati, the informant said. No record of a marriage license could be found at the courthouse.

When Mrs. Hahn first was questioned, following her arrest at the request of Colorado Springs officials who suspected her of the theft of three diamond rings from a hotel proprietor's wife, she denied having made the trip from Cincinnati to Colorado with Obendoerfer. She told police here, as she already had told residents of Colorado Springs, that she met Obendoerfer by chance on a train between Chicago and Denver. She admitted, however, when questioned by Cincinnati detectives, that she had known Obendoerfer In Cincinnati. At Colorado Springs she denied that she had known more than his name.

Obendoerfer was registered at a Denver hotel with Mrs. Hahn and her son after being taken from a train upon becoming ill. The son later told how ho carried "the old man 18 glasses of water" on the train trip. Reports from Colorado officials said Mrs. Hahn fed Obendoerfer watermelon constantly.

Mrs. Hahn denied this. It was not until her son made a contradictory statement that Mrs. Hahn changed her story about accompanying Obendoerfer from Cincinnati to Colorado. She then admitted that she left here with him, but said, "I did no wrong." Police have a letter signed Fclser" (Mrs.

Hahn's maiden name was Filser) which was sent to the Clifton Heights Building and Loan Association requesting the transfer of $1,000 from Obendocrfer's account to the First National Bank, Denver. The request was accompanied by a signature card, bear They were married "across the river" on the second date set. This was in 1933, Miss Lammers said. Shortly afterward Eva stopped coming to her parlor. During her visits Eva told her she had a son.

Once Miss Lammers saw the boy. According to Miss Lammers, Eva said she was married to a man in Vienna, Austria, and she thought he might still be living. The son was attending a parochial school here, Miss Lammers said she was told. Although Eva told her the name of the man to whom she was to be wedded, Miss Lammers was unable to remember It. However, she did recollect that after Eva quit visiting her place, she read an account of the man's sudden death.

i Shown a picture of Mrs. Hahn, Miss Lammers declared she was almost certain she was the Eva who had visited her place.
