o By * LINDY WAL NARRY Odds Seem to Favor Maine Home of Ambesior Morrow New York, May 14 UM—The New York American said today that Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow left Englewood, N. J., yesterday for North Haven, Me., to prepare the Morrow summer home there for the honeymoon of her daughter Anne and Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. B Reports were that the ueddm_g will take place at the Morrow's Englewood home on June 17. Anne, accompanied by her older sister, Elizabeth, also left the Engle- wood home yesterday. It was report- ed Anne would visit a girl friend rear Boston. The American said Colonel Lindbergh would commute by airplane between New York and Boston to visit his flancee between now and the wedding day. A Dispatches to the Boston Daily Globe said a sheep pasture on the Morrow estate at North Haven was being smoothed out to make an air- plane landing feld for the colonel. The field runs down from higher grazing ground to the shore of Pen- obscot bay, & long narrow aisle of an opening in the dark spruce woods that border the estate. As Maine Sees It North Haven, Me., May 14—Most of the natives of this little island village appeared convinced today that North Haven would be the scene of that much-heralded event, the Lindbergh-Morrow wedding. Hurried preparations being made at the Morrow summer home for an early visit of the ambassador's fam- ily formed the principal basis for this belief. ‘When the Morrows would arrive here was prohlematical. “I don’}y expect them during the next few days,” was the only infor- mation obtainable from Mrs. Hu- bert Grant, wife of the superinten- dent of the estate. Bug preparations for the visit, and, natives believed, for the wedding, went forward. A sheep pasture on the large es- tate was being transformed into a landing field, indicating, natives said, that Col. Lindoergh would fly to North Haven. The grounds of the estate were be- ing put in shape by a crew of men in charge of the landscape gardener from Bar Harbor. Rev. H. F. Huse, island pastor, was having shrubbery and trees planted | on the grounds of North Haven's new church. Ana@ down in the village Floyd Brown was walking and painting boats orderéd by the Morrows for the month of June. 8hould the wed- ding be held here, Brown, as town clerk, would issue the marriage li- cente. CALHOUN FLOUTS (Continued from First Page) examined the prints himself. Calhoun “High and Dry” Céroner Calhoun admitted he was left “high and dry” in his own in- quiry because of the unconclusive- ness of the discoveries made by the county detective and of the medical facts disclosed by the autopsy. Un- less a motive is clearly established either for suicide or murder, the coroner said, it was probable the cane would never be solved. He has no intentien of closing the inquiry however, and will make other visits to Windsor. Mr. Calhoun said he had talked to several persons con- nected with the case, but refused to say who they were. Resume Search For Weapon Hickey and assistants were on the Murphy farm today making a re- newed search for the missing weapon, which the detective regards us the key to his suicide theory. He believes he can close his own in- vestigation when he finds it and POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “I'm not goin’ to tell Ma about dreamin’ I was young an’ livin’ back in my old home. She still holds my last dream against me.” write Huntington’s death down as & conclusive suicide. ’ Hickey first believed that asome one not connected with the ease had picked up the pistol and was afraid to reveal his possession of it. But because there was no other foot- prints or heel prints than those he is certain are Huntington's and be- cause his Questioning of various persons suspected of having the weapon was fruitleas, he is sure the pistol must still be ‘on the lot. His opinion is that Huntington threw it away immediately after he was shot. Coroner Calhoun does not believe the finding of the weapon would says that the idea that some one not the pistol “opens up a wide door of conjecture.” Considers Presence of Automobile As no footprints of another per- son have been found, there is noth- ing to make such a supposition con- clusive, he said. “It is not unlikely that footprints of another person would be left on the swampy ground,” Calhoun said. *'Ot course, it is not impossible that somebody drove up in an automobile alongside the lot, shot the youth on the road and the latter went down into the lot, dazed by crawling throw the wire fence. The weapon then might have been carried away. If an automobile were on the scene, it would have left no marks.” Coroner Calhoun said that in his opinion the report that Hickey was proclaiming a belief that the atu- dent died a suicide was a ruse to trap a slayer was not true. Calhoun declared he had great respect for the detective’s ability and sincerity. “Hickey may be justified in feeling that the heelprints he found were definitely Huntington's,” he said. “And his belief that some one else took the weapon away may also be justified. But these are only conjectures and not of sufficient strength to justify any definite find- ing. I intend to keep on with my informal inquiry until more definite facts come to light.” Use Magnetic Irons in Search The county detective and his as- sistants are using magnetic irons in their renewed search for the 32 calibre pisto] which Hickey believes was used in the shooting. He said that he had tried to trace the own- ership of the pistol from the num- ber on the empty case found in Huntington's room, here, but as the weapon was sold about 20 years ago and no records of sale or distribu- tion of firearms were kept at the time, this effort was unavailing. Be- sides, Hickey is mnot certain the number on the case is the number of the weapon kept in it, as the case may have housed a pistol other than that described on the label. His belief it was a 32 calibre auto- matic is based on the empty shell found near the body and on two boxes of bullets with similar jackets found in the student’s room. Alcorn uses to Talk State's Attornfy Hugh M. Alcorn, who returned from Washington last night and immediately held a con- ference with his detective, refused to answer inquiries. He said he wity running the case, not his inquirers, and could not be “intimidated” into saying anything. “I havé just comie back to town and I will make b statements,” he said. Hickey repeated today that Clare Kennelly, the former Huntington chauffeur, had been cleared of sus- picion, because he had accounted for his movements Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Hickey said that on Sunday he questioned Mrs. Joseph Babcock, colored, and her roomer, Henry Reed, who live about a mile from the Murphy farm and who told him they had heard a pistol shot about midnight Tuesday. Though thcy were emphatic in their belief the re- port they heard was a shot and not the backfire of an . automobile, Hickey sald their testimony was valueless to the investigation. Saw e On Huntington Porch Walter De Moulpied, whose home is on the same side of Broad street as the Huntington mansion, said to- day that his son David. on an er- rand about 11:10 o'clock Tuesday right, saw two men and a woman on the Huntington porch.

Mrs. De Moulpied sald that her son did not know the stu- dent and could not have recogaizel him. She said he saw two men and a woman, but knew none of them. Questioned, David was not certain of the number of persons he saw. The hour, 11:10 p. m., was 40 minutes after young Huntington had told his mother he was going to Prouty’s drug store and several hours before the time established for the rhooting. . “hat young Huntington did not go to the drug store was ascertained by H:ckey at the outset of his investiga- tion. The student was well kuown in the drug store and the cler’ said t afte: he and his friend, Bur- dette Witiiams, left the store carly in the evening, neither returncd again. Coroner Calhoun, who questivned meabers of the Huntington, jam’ly, said that Walter's 15 year old sister Mary was not home at the tin'e her brether left, and this opened con- jccture on the possibility of her bLeirg on the perch in the company of a young man :pd woman. )t ‘was possiol:, it was said, the student met the group by appomni- ment, County Detective Edward J. Hick- ey, when told of David De Moul- pied’s statement that he had seen several persons on the Huntington front porch on the night that Wal- ter T. Huntington was killed, went to the De Moulpied house and talked with the youth. ,After a conversation with the De Moulpied family and the son, Hickey left without comment. Hickey was in a the swamp, near where was found when told of what De Moulpied saw on the night of the homicide. ‘When Hickey was informed of the statements of the De Moulpied fam- ily, he left off his work on the Mur- phy farm lot, and went mmediately to the De Moulpied home, where he closed himself with Mr. and Mrs, De Moulpied and their son. He said afterward that he had gleaned enough from the three to be certai that the persons the young man saw on the Huntington porch were Mary Huntington and two high school boys with whom she returned from the concert. He said David De Moulpied had not recognized young Hunting- ton and had been vague as to whom he did see on the Huntington porch. Young De Moulpied told Hickey he had gone Tuesday night to a lunch room for doughnuts for his family and because the lunchroom closed at 11 o'clock, he had run to the place. On his return, some ten minutes later, he hurried also, and passed the Huntington place swiftly. He saw a group, the youth told the detective, but was not cer- tain whether it contained any mem- bers of the Huntington family, Hickey pointed out that since the de Moulpied home is close to the Huntingtons, David would know tne family well and if he had seen any of the Huntingtons would have re- membered. Hickey said he has ascertained Mary Huntington returned homa some time between 11 and 11:20 p. m, and he bases his belief it was Mary who was the “woman” on this fact.

LONG INPEACHMENT TRIAL DUE TODAY Louisiana Governor Will Contest Yalidity of Seven Charges Baton Rouge, La., May 1¢ P— The state senate high court recon- vened tbday after nearly a month's recess to begin the impeachment trial of Governor Huey P. Long on eight charges of official deficiency, returned by the lower house, since he became chief executive a year ago. The governor was expected to offer as his defense, a challenge of the validity of seven of the impeach- ment counts. He will appear before the court after a statewide speak- ling tour in which he carried before the people his denunclation of the Standard Oil company, which, he said, was at the bottom of the im- peachment move, and the press of the state for fighting his proposed occupational tax on refiners’ oil. Mr, Long will contend that each count, except that charging intimi- dation of a newspaper publisher, is invalid on the ground that they were recorded after the special legislative session, called by him, ended April 6. He will not contest the legality of the one charge because it was adopted on the last day of the ses- sion in the house and was returned to the senate the same night before the hour for sine die adjournment, Charges Against Long The charges facing the governor today are briefly: That he sought to intimidate C. P. Manship, Baton Rouge newspaper publisher, for opposing his oil tax; that he attempted to bribe two house members with jobs and *“bank fixing:" that he misused state funds, and that he is generally incompetent to fulfili the duties of his office, PEACOX TRIAL HELD UP FOR DOCTOR'S REPORT Bellevue Hospital Expert Is Seeking Traces of Poison in Vital Organg of Victim White Plains, N.

In welcoming Mr. Hughes to the permanent court of international Jjustice, President Loder said the court was deeply pleased at the elec- tion of a man of his legal experi- ence and would not fail to count upon his collaboration. The court members, he said, fully realized how much the appointment of Mr. Hughes enhanced the prestige and authority of the court in the United States. The American jurist, thanking the president, said he esteemed it a great privilege to participate in the court's work. Having always been a partisan of the creation of a real international tribunal, he would realize one of his ambitions if he could help the court by his individ- ual efforts in the discharge of its high duties.
