DENTIST OFFICE INSPIRED ‘INDY It Was There He Got Foundation for His Career BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY| United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1927 by United Press) Chapter Two ! Captain Charles A. Lindbergh be- | gan his flight to Paris in a dentist’s office in Detroit. He didn't know it then, for he had only heard about men flying in those But nevertheless it was while playing with the motors and the tools of a dental shop and an experi-, menter's laboratory, that he laid the' oundation for his supreme accom- plishment. The dental office was that of Dr. . H. Land, his maternal grand- rather. Just as clearly as his he tage of courage can be traced back, 1o his paternal ancestry, his flare for mechanics, his urge to try anything that is new, and his great modesty an ba traced to his mother.

Miller charges Ford and others with having attempted to “malicious- ly and wilfully” injure his good name and bring him “into public scandal by causing him to be sus- pected of having attempted to core rupt & jury” in the Ford-Sapiro suit, Charges that Miller was talking to Mrs. Cora Hoffman, one of the jurors in the Sapiro suit were made the basis of a motion for a mistrial in the case. ¥ Statements concerning his conver. sation with Mrs. Hoffman were mads by Ford agents, Miller declares, and were public in Detroit, Chicago and | ceive tax-bills this week from the|New York newspapers.
