On the fourth ballot, the vote changed to 11 to 1 for acquittal.

We stood that way for 43 hours. "Our first ballot was taken shortly after we retired Thursday. We simply couldn't make William IJ. Weller see it as the rest of us did." Davis said "We believed Mr. Clark's story to the last word." It was a tale of a double killing committed in self- said that during a conference last May 20, when he was a candidate for a municipal judgeship, Crawford and Spencer attempted to take his life when he refused to blacken tho character of his close friend, Chief of Police Roy Steckel.

The news agency said that Japanese authorities contended the famous aviators flew over prohibited areas am descended twice in lakes where landings were prohibited. High government' authorities, how over, apparently did not take the re ports seriously. Suspicion cast upon the Lindbergh: marks the second attack by frenziel militarists upon long-distance Ameri- ji flyers within the last Tokyo, having just completed pay ment of for photo graphing Japanese forts while flying from Siberia to Tokyo.
