Mors to Testify. Among them were Albert A.

McCoy says that Mrs. Mors killed herself in his presence in the apart-| ment they had been occupying as| “Mr. and Mrs. N.

The testimony of Mrs. Martin is ex- | pected to prove important, despite the fact that police disagree with her identification of Mors as the man she saw leaving the apartment. Detectives point out that her story of a woman's screams issuing from the death room about midnight, closely followed by a pistol shot and the n of one or two men leaving the | place, helps to fix the time of the| shooting and to establish it as a case of homicide, not suicide. Alienists yesterday put a serious obstacle in the way of any attempt to free McCoy on an insanity plea, when two of three specialists sent into the suspects cell by the district attorney reported him entirely sane.

Their machines were heavily load- ed with fuel for the hop of more than 800 miles to Fredericksdal and it was this extra weight that caused the trouble, as the planes refused to lift from the water. Repeated efforts to get off were in vain, and the strain caused the spreader bar on Lieut. Smith's plane to break, while the propeller of the other machine was shattered.
