DISTRICT ATTORNEY 1SSUES STATENENT (Continued from First Page) agents of the line. A representative of David Cook, + vice president of Sanderson and Son, said that all such messages could be Put on one plece of paper and that none had been received on Monday. Asks Navy Man's Statement Mr. Tuttle has also wired the de- partment of justice at Washington asking that the statement of the executive officer of the U. 8. 8. Wyoming, . based on testimony of survivors picked up by the battle- ship, be sent to him as soon as pos- alble tagether with the survivor's statements, ‘Tuttle conferred this morning with five of his assistants of the criminal division whom he has assigned to the investigation. Capt. Sorenson Testifies Captain Frederick Sorenson, him- self a ship's master who was rescucd in the Vestris disaster, testified that as far as he knew the liner's life- boats had beén in first class condi- tion and that they contained the preacribed equipment. Sorenson said he was in a boat that sank immediately after striking the water, but’the sinking, he as- serted, resulted from damage done to the life craft when it struck the side of the Vestris in being lowered. The witness thought the Vestris’ crew probably launched the boats as efticiently as was possible in view of the time at their disposal. The life- belts, he sald, were in good working order. Sorenson denied he had said on arriving here that the liner's boats were ‘“rotten” and improperly equipped, ot thatt he crew had been cowardly before the veasel sank. His testimony. given at the cus- toms house was heard by Captain G. T. Chariton and Willlam H. Powers, members of the inspection service board. Call Came Too Late High naval authorities at Wash- ington generally expressed perplex- ity today over the cause of the sink- ing of the steamship Vestris. Becretary Wilbur voiced regret that Captain William J. Carey of the Vestris had not earlier called for as- sistance, and Admiral Charles F. Hughes, chief of naval operations, was of the opinion that had Carey sent his 8 O 8. call 12 hours earlier, every person aboard could have been saved. ‘When he learned of the ship's Hst to starboard and its quick sink- ing, Admiral Hughes told fellow of- ficers that the vessel acted as if it were “a victim of free water,” wash- ing about in its interior. Error of Judgment In the opinion of Rear Admiral David W. Taylor, retired, one of the ‘world’s foremost naval construction experts, the Vestris disaster likely was due to an ‘‘error of judgment” by Captain Carey. He cautioned against econdemning the captain, however, until all the facts were available. “ Criticism of the crew, Taylor sald, for alleged mishandling of the life- boats should be made only with consideration of the knowledge that the Vestris was listing at a sharp angle when the boats were launched. “I do not know of any crew aboard any ship that could launch boats in a high sea and with a ves- sel listing at such a degree as the Vestris was without encountering great difficulty,” he sald. Rear Admiral W. H. Standley, as. sistant chief of naval operations, sald that Captain Carey probably firmly believed that he could keen the ship afloat or he would not have hesjtated to send the call. He added, however, that eonditions aboard the vessel should have prompted Carey to at least notify ships in his vicinity of his ship's condition. Tells of Leak John Boxil, negro member of the fire-room crew of the sunken Lam. port & Holt liner Vestris, testifled under oath that a leak in the ash- hopper and a smashed port in a eoal door which turned a 14-inch stream of water into the ship were among the leading factors contribut- Ing to the loss of the vessel. The statement was made to Cap- tain J. T. Hanlon, United States steamboat inspector. who conducted an inquiry at the Naval hospital at Portsmouth where the survivors who. were brought in on the battleship Wyoming were taken for medical attention. First Six to Testify 8ix survivors of the Vestris, all passengers, were questioned in the first day of the hearing. Among their charges were: That there were general fncom- petence and lack of discipline among officers and crew. That two filled boats were left hanging in their davits and were earried down with the ship. ‘That no orders were issued to don lifebelts and that no competent, offi- cers were assigned to lifeboats. That some lifeboats were improp- erly equipped and leaked like sieves at every seam. That in some cases the launching tackle was out of commission. That rescuing steamers passed several lifeboats, occupants bein nable to signal because of defec- tive flares. The Witnesses The six witnesses were Fred W. Puppe, an electrical engineer of Brooklyn, whose wife and baby were lost; Jose Santa Anna of Brazl, a former New York elevator operator, who goes by the name of “John Santonee;” Wallace M. Sinclair, of Bound Brook, N. J.; Carlos Quiros, chancellor of the Argentine consu- late in New York; and Walter Spitz, of Berne, Switzerland. In a statement at the close of the hearing, Mr. Tuttle said: “From the testimony taken in to- day's hearings: . . . It is fully ap- parent thae we shall ultimately ob- tain evidence to fix blame for the wreck and the great loss of life, To Place Blame “You can state that this office will make every effort to place the re- sponsibility where it belongs and to the extent of ascertaining whether the United States inspeotion service permitted the ship to leave New York in an unseaworthy condition.” Mr. Tuttle said some of the offi- cers and members of the crew al- ready had been questioned privately and would be put on the stand to tell their stories publicly. He sald also that he was inquiring into a re- port that the anti-rilling tanks were out of repair. “I'astening the blame will not be a light task,” he continued. “As far as’what transpired on the high seas on board a British ship is concera- ed, we _have no direct jurisdiction, of course, but American lives and property were lost, and we must de- termine whether there was criminal negligence. If there was, we shall determine whose negligence it was.” Highly Nervous Most of the six passengers who testified were still highly nervous and Mr, Tuttle said it was probable that few more of them would be called as he did not wish to harrass their feelings further by making them recount the terrible ordeal they had been through. Mr. Puppe’s voice broke at times as he spoke of his wife and baby. He told how they had to go without food Sunday because he could find no one to cook it for them, he told also of seeing his wife and baby be- ing lowered in a lifeboat and how he tried to follow them. Ordered Out of Boat **Keep that man out of that boat, don't let him go down there'™ he said the captain called. “I shouted back: “My wife and child are in that boat.’ *‘That makes no difference. That hoat is too full, the captain replied back." That was the last he ever saw of the two. Puppe testified that two filled lifeboats were still hanging to the ship when the vessel went over. What happened to thelr occupants he did pot know. No Intelligent Plan Sinclair, who has travelled much at sea,’ said what impressed him most was the “lack of any intelligent plan of lowering the lifeboats or get- ting the passengers into them.” He also testified that the lifeboat in which he finally escaped was unseh. worthy, its paint gone in many places and its equipment either missing or in poor shape, The cannister contain- ing the flares was so rusty the lid had to be chopped off he said. Quiros testified to one instance of mutiny in the crew. A Negro mem- ber he said, jerked a pistol from an officer’s hand and throwing it over- board. He had words of praise only for Alfred Duncan, the second stew- ard, to whose clear headedness in helping load the lifeboats he credited the saving of many lives. Captain Hesitant The captain, he sald, appeared hesitant throughout and uncertain what to do. Santa Anna, who said he was one of the last men to leave the ship, told of seeing the captain running along the side of the capsized vessel just before she sank. The captain was wearing no lifebelt and was drowned. Lifeboat 13 Subpoenaed A federal subp®ena was issued to- day for lifeboat Number M of the foundered steamer Vestris, and de- partment of justice agents were as- signed to take it to the federal building from the pier where it was deposited by the rescue ship Berlin. The lifeboat was wanted to check up on sworn statements of passen- gers as to its unscaworthiness. The manifest of the Vestris was also subpoenaed to permit a study of the nature of the ship's cargo, shifting of which is believed pos- sibly to have had something to do with the ship's tipping over. Has Minor Accident Captain * William Heasley, assis- tant superintendent at the Lamport and Holt offices here, confirmed re- ports that four dafs before the Ves- tris steamed away on its final voy- age it collided with another vessel in Erie basin. He said the collision was of no severity, however, the Ve NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, the Sants Luisa of the Grace line scarcely more than brushing togeth- er.

Tuttle immediately issued poenas for officials of the Radio Corporation of America, calling upon them to produce copies of all radiograms that passed between Carey and Sanderson & Son, agents for the Lamport and Holt line. Tuttle also announced he was looking into a report that the Lam- port & Hblt line sent three salvage vessels out from New York shortly after the Vestris sailed on the voy- age that ended in disaster off the Virginia Capes. THe third development in Tuttle's investigation today was a request which he sent to the department of Jjustice in Washington that testimony of the executive officer of the bai- tleshijp Wyoming be sent to him as soon as possible.
