Day declared he will tell the onty story he knows—the true facts—that he struck Beck down in his home early last Tuesday morning when he. returned and found the noted army man attacking his wife. In his heart there was no murder he will plead. The revolver he used as a club in the belief that he was defending his life, when he warned Beck to quit his home fired accidentally as he struck the blow, ending Beck's life, is the testimony he will give the jurors. The immediate provocation will be his allegation that Beck drew back one hand and that he feared the army flyer might be armed. Supporting her husbend’s account ef the slaying, Mrs, Day will go to bis defense, charging that Beck, the trusted friend of the family, turned beast when the two were left alone in the drawing room of the fashion- able Day home in the early morning hours after a gay midnight party. Slanderous, she has termed shat she aid she knew gossip had whispered. For the dead Peck who Iles in a morgue, clad in a new uniform— a soldier's burial garb—there will be none to speak his testimony of what transpired at the Day home when hé was slain. Day and his wife are the only known witnesses. There will be present his comrades, though, who declare they knew him as a gentle- man, his superiors and sub-ordinates, who testify to his clean, his’ unspot- ted reputation, his gallantry in the air and his respect for women. - Bat will the case take some sensa- tional turn—will some hidden angles be disclosed which in the testimony is adduced of all those who have knowledge of the affair?—was tho question murmured by hundreds of the avid who appeared to seek admis- sion to the courtroom when Coroner A.

GANNON, BODY IS FOUND NORTH OF MUDDY MINE Casper Ex-Service Man Falls From Ex- haustion on Long Trek Through Snow When Track Is Stalled “Exposure and exhaustion while attempting to reach Big Muddy station through heavy given out by the coroner’s jury snow on foot,” is the verdict this morning after hearing the evidence regarding the death of W. J. Gannon of Casper, 33 years of age, whose body was found about six miles north of the Big Muddy coal mine. ‘w. J. Gannon and J. M. Eccles were partners in the Wyoming Boiler an3 Welding Works. They left Casper in a truck driven by B. B. Starks in or- dor to go to the camp of the Frep 011 and Development company about 2° miles northeast of Casper to repair 1 boiler. The specific work to be done was to change A eet of flues. Gannon and Eccles worked all night Tuesday, all day Wednesday, ani part of Wednesday mght, comprising 2 to- tal of 33 hours. They slept si hours while the boiler was being filled. Atft- erwards, they tested the boiler, and at 1 p m., Thursday, after lunch, they started for Casper in the truck with Starks. When they ‘had got about 10 miles from the camp, the car struck heavy sand. The axle housing rested on the sand and the:back wheels spun around. It was impossible to.go on, so the men decided to leave the truck, and strike out for Big Muddy station to caich the morning train for Casper. At 4:50 they left the truck and forced their way toward the station through the heavy snow that had fall- en the night before. The country \wastilly-about here, and the snow had come from the north. It had drifted waist deep on the south side of the hills. The men were gotng south and their passage was rendered extremely difficult. At dusk they came to a vacant shack on a homestead. There was no stove in tle room, so the men went on. While at the shack Gennon searched the place for tobacco. In a little while Gannon began to complain of pams from walking. The other two men were also suffering from the pain caused by lifting their feet in order to wade through the snow. About 10:30 Gannon said he was/| tired. .“You fellows go on.

Following a stormy session earlier im the week the board of commissoners composed Charles Anda and Robert J. Veitch Passed a resolution which brough every county salary back to statn- tory limitations. This decision elimi- nated overtime pay and other alleged irregularitie; which enabled county officials to make wages equal to others @uring the high price period. ‘The resolution ordered every county official to get his or her house in or- der, as bills authorized only in strict conformity with state statute would be allowed during the second quarter of the year which began April 1.

CRIME MYSTERY IS CLEARED UP CHICAGO, April 8.—With the po lice convinced that they had broken the alfbt of Louis Zandt, tho latter today was in jail in connection with tho killing Tuesday night of William Parlon, salesman for a Boston con- cern, who was shot to death by two men as he alighted from his auto- mobile to cali on a girl known as Miss Long, and said to be his fi- | } ancee, but who in reality was Zandt's estranged wife. She also is | held. The police are working on the theory that Parion was deliberatety | kifled through jealously and was not the innocent victim of automobile thieves fleeing from two detectives as bas been supposed at first. ‘The theory that Parlon was the “qrmocent bystander” victim of flee ing thieves was discarded when the police traced ownership of a cap found by Parlon’s body to Zandt. ‘When detectives walked into Zandt’s hore they found the girl known as Miss Long with him. At first she said Zandt was merely a friend, but latter admitted they were married. | Zandt said that he and his wife had become separated several times and that on the evening Parion was slain in front of the house where Mrs. Zandt—known as Miss Long— then was rooming, he, was out’ with. Miss Sarah Shutz from 8 p. m to 10.30. Miss Shutz was brought to the po- lice station where she denied, the Police said, that she had ever been out with Zandt. “You know you never had a date | with me in your life,” she told Zandt. “Don’t you know you are swear- ing my life away?” the police quot ed Zandt as saying to her. ‘Don’t you know what this means for me? Tell the truth. Tell them how we Went out together. It can’t hurt you and it will save me.” ‘The case has brought the police the most mysterious puzzte since Cart Wanderer killed his wife In a holdup which he framed and which made him a hero until it was exposed. Today scores of detectives were trying to find some logical expla- tion of why two men killed Parion, if the killing was a result of jeal- ousy, and to check up on Miss Stutz’s story that she was at her dressmaker’s and not with Zandt. Last Wages Go Into | Strike Fund of Coal Miners country, starting today and continuing next week, receive their last pay, estimated at $30,000 00 by union officials und regarded by them as a strike fund. Portant factor in the miners’ ability ‘to continue the general suspension of work that began a week ago, on the order of the United Mine Workers of America, is for the final half of March—in all, fifteen working days. ‘The big sum fs several times the total cash af the union organtztions—na- |tional, stato and local—and comes to |the miners with n indefinite period of |idleness ahead of them. It is the only big cash payment that will come dur- ing the suspension, the union war chest not permitting a general strike benefit. As most of the anthacite mines wero kept on full time in March and the bituminous mines generally operated almost two-thirds of the time, the miners Ist pay is among the best sums the men have recetved for sev- eral months. The exact amount and its apportionment tn varioun coal fields, is not a certainty but Wiliam Green, secrotary-treasurer of the union declared that’ $30,000,000 fs a “very con- servative”’ tstimate. For the anthracite Mr. Green estimated that $7,500,000 was due them for work between March 15 and 31. | From both the wnion and operators’ |sources here, it was said that- the miners would receive on the average jof $60 to $60 each with some opera- | tors: estimating as much as $75 a man. |Mr. Green estiznated the approximate lapportionent of wages, now being paid as follows: Pennsytvania. anthracite, $7,5 [Pennsylvania bituminaus, $4,200,000; Towa, $650,000; Kansas, $475.000; Ok- lahoma, Arkansas and Texas, $750,000; Colorado, Montana and Washington, $276,000 each; Wyoming, $450,000; and | Michigan, $125,000. wile oA Re ACTION ON-+RADIO BIT.

SEVENTH VICTIM OF CRASH DEAD PARIS, April 8.—(By: The assoct- ated Press.}—R. F. Duke, pilot of the English plane which crashed into a French Goliath on the Paris-Lon. don aerial express route yesterday near Thieulloy, died in the hospital at Beauvais today without recov- ering consciousness. He was tho only person in either machine to sur- vire the crash and his death brought the total of those killed to seven. The French company operating the Goliath, which was carrying three passengers, has issued a state- ment declaring that their pilots have perfect knowledge of the route, which they have been covering for a.year. The British machine, cwned by a new company, had only been in the London-Paris service thre: days, It seems certain that those in the Gollath saw the English machine at least some seconds before the crash. as, when the, body of Mrs. Christe- pher Bruce Yhle, was found, a hand was pressed to her eyes as though to shut cut the sight of the imper ing collisign. Besides Mrs. Yule, the dead are: Ber husband, who was a New York exporter; M. Bourien, another passenger; Plot Mire of the Goliath and his mechanic, and Pilot Duke and the cabin boy of the English machine. In the investigation of the acei- dent the theory is being advanced in trecied the machines together.
