Leaving its home port here at 4:34 a. m. (10:45 a. m. E. S. T.) it circled Nurnberg. (Nuremburg), Ba- varia, having traversed the 150 miles in four hours and 11 minutes. Ahead of the Graf lay a devious course across European Russia and over the Ural mountains and the broad, barren steppes of Siberia to northeastern Asia, where it must turn southeastward to Tokyo. It was expected about 6,600 miles would be covered in a journey of about 120 hours, with arrival in Tokyo on Mon- Has Large Cargo Aboard the Graf Zeppelin were 60 persons, 20 passengers—19 men and one woman—40 officers and crew, and about 50,000 pieces of mail as freight. Much of the mail, all of the crew and nine of the passengers had come all the way from Lake- hurst. The start was made with a few: hundred persons gathered near the Zeppelin’s hangar who cheered loud- ly as its ground crew loosed their hold and it rose gracefully, circling the port before heading northward. Over Barren Waste From the Ural mountains to Ja- kutsk the Zeppelin must cover one of the wildest areas known to man. It “js peopled largely by nomadic semi- barbarous tribes, few of wi have ever seen an aircraft and many of whom might be inimical to passen- gers and crew should the Graf be forced down. Much of the country even would not sustain life, being even at this time of the year an icy barren waste. However, as needful | as was Dr. Eckener for every inch of space aboard the Zeppelin he took along firearms and ammunition suf- ficient to enable the voyagers to kill seals, deer, grouse, hares and other game if compelled to descend before reaching Tokyo. Captain Hans Von Schiller said that three rifles, three shotguns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition been put aboard.

Neither Fink nor his sister was cer- | tain of the exact location where they | turned about, but they are sure it was not far from where the child’s body was discovered. Fink said he saw only one man in the parked automobile, the driver, but Mrs. Gill was positive she had seen a second man crouched in the rear of the car. Several red hairs were found on the slain child’s body when the Post mortem was made. Both Mrs. Gill and Fink placed the time of their experience betwen 9:30 and 10 p. m., Tuesday after they had attended a theater. Dorothy's body was found at 6:30 a. m., Wednesday. They were returning from the down- town district when Fink became con- fused as to his direction. “It was dark and the neighborhood was lonely,” Mrs. Gill related, “so I told him to turn around and get; away from there. As my brother backed up and swung around the lights from his car shone directly into an open car a short distance ahead of us, There was a large man with reddish hair and reddish beard in the | front seat. ! “We could see a little girl in the back seat. We caught only a glimpse | of her, but she seemed to be terribly frightened. I thought I saw another man in the back seat crouched down near the girl.” ‘When Wednesday's newspapers told the story of the slaying, the couple scrutinized the pictures of Dorothy and declared the girl they saw in the automobile resembled the little vic- tim. A red tam o’shanter. similar to that worn by Dorothy when she dis- | appeared was found today in the} basement of a theater. Detectives immediately were dispatched to that place. They planned to take the tam; to the Aune home in an attempt to identify it as the one worn by the child. | Scores Brought in Scores of men were brought in for questioning, among them a number of negroes. The suspects included two men reported to have annoyed girls recently. “The are not overlooking anything,” Captain Neitzel said, “but their efforts have been handicapped & good deal by following blind trails.
