A—6 w= AR TRAGDY DI TOSLASHNG WD “13 Toll in California Includes | Father Who . Escaped Wrecked Home and Died. By the Associated Press. OAKLAND, Calif., March 27.—A fast- | moving storm was blamed today for the transport airplane crash which took 13 lives near here Saturday night. Only three of those killed were in | the plane, including Pilot Noel B.| (Jack) Evans, considered one of the best “tough weather” fiyers in the eountry. The others were at the home of Mr. | and Mrs. Joseph Arisa. The Arisa | family—parents and four children— was wiped out. Arisa, upstairs when the plane struck his house, jumped | from a window, but was sprayed with | flaming gasoline and died yesterday in | s hospital. The other four killed, all young men, were neighbors and friends of the Arisas. Storm Rapid Moving. | “The squall that hit our ship was | & seasonal, rapid-moving storm, mov- | ing unpredictably.” said President Franklin Rose of Varney Speed Lines, operator of the wrecked plane. “Ap- aremly it was the one reported from kland Airport 10 minutes before. | “Five minutes after the crash the gtorm had passed and the ceiling had lifted. Evans was in the wrong place | at the wrong time. Five minutes later, five minutes earlier, he would have come through.” | Rose said Evans received his last re- ' g:rt from Livermore, Calif., 10 minutes fore the crash,-showing a safe course shead to his port at Alameda, where there was a 1,200-foot ceiling. Survey of the area surrounding the crash scene indicated Evans had been seeking an emergency landing place, but found the field he had picked was a rhubarb patch, which would catch his landing gear. ' Seeking to rise again | after touching his wheels in the fleld, | he suddenly confronted a water tower. | He banked to miss it, the plane’s low | wing clipped a fence, he bounced off | one house and hurtled into the Arisa house.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 27.—Lieut. Norman Baillie-Stewart, youthful Seaforth High- lander accused of revealing army secrets to a foreign agent, sat in the Chelsea Military Court today and heard his mother, Mrs. Eisie Beatrice Wright, and his brother, Lieut.

He did not know then his brother was golng to see Marle Louise, he said, but gathered it was some woman. “Women were on his mind the whole time.” wdded Wright. Another witness for the defense was Victory Sylvester, & dancing school teacher, who came into the case after reading reports about it in the news- papers. He testified that he had been intro- duced to @ girl named Marle Louise at a dancing demonstraticn in Berlin last Summer. This was the first witness other than the accused who testified to having seen Marie Louise. The girl he met was pretty, young and fair, said Sylvester. This description corresponded generally to Baillie- | Stewart's. The defense concluded its case and the court adjourned for luncheon.

In accordance with the law | the board will have to meet, but will immediately adjourn to some date that will probably be set tonight. | The first public opposition to the | measure developed yesterday in the form |of a statement from Board Member | John C.
