PLANES VTS TAKENFROM PEA Few Feet More Elevation Would Have Missed Laramie Crag. By the Assoclated Press. GLENDO, Wyo.,, August 21.—A searching squad broke a tortuous trail down rugged Laramie Peak today bearing the bodies of three occupants of a plane that “would have been safe a little bit higher.” Theirs was an all-day journey from the spot near the 10,000-foot summit where crashed the open biplane piloted by Dick Armett, 26, and in which his 23-year-old bride of a few weeks, Eleanor, and Burnside Smith, 47, wealthy business man, were pas- sengers. All were from Indianapolis. Walter Higley, Denver aviator, and his party found the shattered ship, which had burned, and its gruesome burden late yesterday, after false re- ports had indicated earlier location of the wreckage. Capt. George Smith of the Wyo- ming highway patrol, sent a crew of C. C. C. workers to a spot where a | rancher had informed him he saw the | ship, but they found nothing. Max Ortiz, a sheep herder who saw | tH ship just before it disappeared in fog and crashed last Thursday, led | the searchers up the side of the| mountain. Men Badly Burned. The bodies of the two men were found in the wreckage, burned badly, but Mrs. Arnett had been thrown clear at impact. All seemingly died instantly. Higley sent word by runners that “Arnett had enough altitude to miss anything but this solitary mountain.” “A tiny bit more clearance would have lifted the plane safely over the small spur where it crashed,” he de- clared. “From all indications Arnett ran into a bad storm around Glendo. Ap- parently he tried to turn back toward Casper Airport, for he was flying west, about 40 miles off his course, when he hit." Arnett and his party were flying a leisurely business and pleasure route | which was intended to take them from Helena, Mont., to Denver, Colo. There THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Climbed for 12 Hours. “It was a tough battle to reach the | scene,” the runners reported for Hig- ley. “We climbed, circled and crawled through timber and over cliffs for 12 | solid hours. We could go only a short distance on horseback. The greater part of the way we walked.” | Laramie Peak is the center of many Western stories. It was known as “the guidepost of the desert” to the pioneers of covered wagon days. Five years ago a “phantom horse- an” rode about the crags of the two- clothed in black, terrifying the | district for weeks. | An officer captured the rider, Charles Adams, then 20, after a pur- | suit of weeks, and was told the ghostly | performance was to ‘scare cattle rustlers.” Adams served a short jail term after being sentenced on a mis- demeanor charge. . i “Wild Bill” Carlisle, one of the last | of the old West’s daring train robbers, | used the peak as a refuge for a time after escaping from the Wyoming | prison at Rawlins. | 11 INDICTED FOR FRAUD | Illegal Use of Mails in Stock Sales Charged. | BOSTON, August 21 () —The Fed- | eral grand jury yesterday indicted 11| men from New York, Chicago and| Massachusetts, charging them with | using and conspiring to use the mails | to defraud in the sale of Polymet | Manufacturing Co. stock.

TERMED UNOFFICIAL Lewis Expresses Hope World' Will Not Misinterpret Oriental Stops. By the Associated Press. Hope that Vice President Garner's Oriental stops en route to the Philip- | pines this Fall would not be misunder- stood by world opinion was expressed yesterday by Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois. Commenting on the fact Garner and | a large congressional delezation would stcp in Japan and China before at- tending - inai tion ceremonies of the new Ph e commonwealth in November, Lewis told the Senate this should not be regarded as the “sending | of any official to give favoritism” to any nation at war in the Orient. | Garner earlier in the day had said the itinerary for the Philippine trip | had included stops at Yokohama and Kobe and some Chinese pcrts. He denied, however, he would go in any | official capacity or as a “good will ambassador” to either country. Lewis said he appreciated the pos- sibilities that the visit would “tend to bring about a more fraternal and kindly feeling between Asiatic nations and ourselves,” but added he hoped the trip would not lend itself to any “deduction” that “this Nation has lent its sympathy and its co-operatiol #> one belligerent against the other. = .

CANONSBURG, Pa., August 21.— Pale and weak, Marco Jurcevich, 39, told police yesterday how he had been held captive and half starved in a small sheet-metal garage for 47 days after firing a house in an arson plot. The man, who lives in Columbus, Ohio, was rescued from the stifling hot garage-prison last night. He was 50 weak that it was not until today that he could tell his story, implicat- ing Mr. and Mrs. Steve Kuervich, 40, of Hendersonville. Assistant State Fire Marshal F. P. McCallister quoted the man as con- fessing the Kuervichs persuaded him to burn their home for $200. He said he set it afire the night of July 4 while the family was in a nearby town. Jurcevich was further quoted as saying that when he asked for his money Kuervich led him to the ga- rage and locked him in. The fire marshal said the man told him: “They said they were just holding me there until they got the insurance mcney for the house. Then they said they were going to kill me.” The place was insured for $5,500. The insurance company became sus- picious over the fire, which also de- stroyed the adjoining home of Mrs. Mary Godish, a widow with seven children. Police started an investigation which culminated with the discovery of the prisoner last night. McAllister said Kuervich and his wife admitted the story was irue. The three were given a hearing be- fore Square Morgan McClelland of Washington, Pa.,, on arson charges this afternoon. They were held for the Fall term of court.
