He will use a three motor plane carrying sufficient fuel for 70 hours’ | flight and capable of maintaining an average speed of slightly over 200 kilometres (124 miles) an hour. ‘Accompanying him will be a relict pilot and two passengers, one of them an unnamed industrialist who is said to be financing the venture.

Bought Liquor, Claim In his statement to Judge Nye, Wire said he met Mrs. Nelson and the other man together in Moorhead ently on the morning of June 6. He claimed he obtgined liquor for them at their requeét and drove them to the scene of the attack. While the three of them were sit- ting in the car, the other man and Mrs, Nelson engaged in an alterca- tion in the back seat of the car, Wire said. It was then, that, he slapped and choked Mrs. Nelson’ to try to make her keep quiet, "he de- clared. The altercation continued, how- ever, according to Wire, and. Mrs. Nelson finally jumped from the car || with the other man in pursuit. The other man then caught Mrs. Nelson and beat her with a wrench until she was quiet, said Wire. A report of Koennecke’s plans pub- | lished by the Berliner Tageblatt yes- said his plane was being equipped with one Bavarian Motor Works engine and two Wright mo- tors of 200 horse power eneh.
