When on July 25 last, Lieut. Cham- pion took off from the naval air sta tion i an attempt to break what was then thought to be the world altitude vecord. but which subsequently has been thrown out, owing to the fact that the French airman, Jean Callizo, faked the altitude of 40 feet, he reached the highest point in the sky * attained by man in a heavier air machine. but he did not then know it.

When Calli; world as a faler and Lis startling alti tude figure was wiped off the records Lieut. John A. Macready, formerly of McCook field, Dayton, Ohio, but not now in the Army Air Corps, stood next in line for honors as altitude king of the world by virtue of a figure recorded after his name in the official publication of the National Aeronaut- ic Association. The publication which set forth the world aircraft rec an Aircraft record list having reached an al- titude of 33,704 feet on January 29 1926. Since that time this figure, ch vbviously is in excess of Chim- pion's altitude, has remained on the official. air record tabulation which is in circulation throughout the world. It developed today, however, that this figure, 38,704 feet, is inaccurate and is not the true reading of Macready's barographs. Carl F. Schory, secretary of the con- test committee of the Aeronautic As- soclation, which supervises and au- thenticates record air craft perfor- mances, declared he had made a mis- take in not publishing the corrected ready altitude figure, which is feet. Schory explained that about a month after the Macready barograph was calibrated the Bureau of Standards submitted a corrected report. Inazmuch as the flight at that time had no chance of competing with the then Callizo record.

Ray Akers, former street car conductor. and Donald K. King, Washington-Herald reporter, ever approached Kidwell or said any- thing to him relative to the Sincla Fall case. Affidavit Sworn To. Akers and King swore to an affida- vit that Kidwell had told them of his admiration for Harry F. Sinclair and that he expected a car “as long as a block’> upon conclusion of the case. These affidavits, together with two by Burkinshaw concerning the presence of Burns detectives here, brought about the mistrial in the Fall-Sinclair case. Mr. Hawken explained that Kidwell has been under subpoena since De- «meaber 5, and has regularly attend- ed court each day “Thursday mornin; the attorney continued, “Mr. Kidwell was ap- proached by Mr. Burkinshaw and told that he might be excused for the day. Mr. Kidwell asked Mr. Burkinshaw if he wanted to talk to him. Mr. Burkinshaw having replied in the af- firmative, an appointment was made for Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock. “Mr. Kidwell reported these facts to me and T consented to the inter- view, and know everything he said, and I say positively that he said nothing that could be construed in the remotest degree that he had been either directly of indirectly offered a bribs Information Held Important. What information Kidwell gave the Government in his conference yester- day regarding his knowledge that he was being-shadowed will play an ex- tremely important role in the Sincla Burns contempt proceedings which were in recess yesterda and today, but which will be resumed Monday morning, it was held at the United States attorney’s office. The prosecutors explained that the burden of the respondents replics to the court's rule to show cause why they should not be cited in contempt was the fact that the Government had no proof that one juror was ap- proached or knew he was being shr dowed. The prosecutors maintain that legal precedence setting forth that if a juror knows he is being watched, contempt of court has been committed, can ap- ply very closely to the latest of the <idwell incidents. Kidwell himself will_be used” as a witness, it was stated, and indications were that he | woud make an effort to identify the person or persons who, he shadowed him. The contempt proceedings hinge on the fact that Burns' detec employed to shadow the jury for the purpose, according to the respond- ents, of preventing their beinz tam- pered with by any one, and, according to the Government, to influence the verdict of the jurors, says, Cherico Marriage Annulled.
