On May 25, 1927, the plain- tiff for a *valuable consideration’ gave Tunney a release discharging any and all claims. 3. On July 24, 1928, the plain- tion” gave a release under seal dis- charging all claims. The cross complaint asks that Mrs, IFogarty be enjoined from prosecut- irg and continuing to prosecute the action already commenced against the retired heavywelght champion in the Connecticut court. The com- plaint is bused on the two releases which Mrs. Fogarty is alleged to have signed, both of which were at- tached to the briefs filed in court teday. Says Raseless The cross complaint states that after Tunney had won the heavy- weight championship from Jack Dempsey, there was a demand from public and press for a return en- gagement between the two. “During such time,” the ecom- plaint says, “Katherine King Fogar- ty, well knowing the premises afore- said, threatened to bring against the defendant baseless claims of an al- leged promise to marry her and to ive wide publicity to the same un- less he should pay her to refrain from the execution of such threats.” Tunney was then under contract with the Rickard Sporting Club, Inc., the complaint says, which was will- ing to underwrite his fight with “Any unfavorable publicity con- cerning the said Tunney such as was threatened by sald plaintiff, would materially impair the value of said contract both to said Tunney and to said corporation, all of which the sald plaintift well knew,” the com- plaint continues. Good Business to Pay “Although the claims of the plain- tiff were without foundation or justi- fication, it was deemed good business ndgment that the plaintiff should e paid a sum of money {o avoid lcss to said corporation and to said Tunney, whereupon for such consid- eration, the plaintiff executed and delivered the general. release.” Threats Again Begun Then Tunney was matched for one more fight by the Rickard 8poring club and Tom Heeney of Australia was chosen as his opponent, the complaint states. Prior to and in July 1928 the plaintiff again made money demands, it was claimed. The document continued: “Two days before the date set for the boxing contest between Tunney and Heeney and while Tunney was in strict training in preparation therefor, the money demands of the plaintiff and her threats of publicity became more insistent and menac- ing. Further Sum' Paid “Advisers of said Tunney decided that rather than risk the effect of advirnet pulllicitp wilch Weuld i’ pafard fediice the . financlal ré- ceipts of said contest and occasion loss to said corporation and to said Tunney and disturb said Tunney in the course of his training, a further sum of money should be paid to the said plaintife. The payment was made and an- other release was given Tunney, the complaint said. A copy of the alleg- ed release is attached to the com- plaint. Text of Release Both of the attached releases free Tunney and his heirs from any fur- ther action and in the second one “which against I ever had, mnow have or which I or my heirs, execu- or administrators, hereafter can, shall or may have, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the begin- ning of the world to the day of the date of these presents, more par- ticularly in regard to my personal | matter which did exist does now ex- ist or that may exist from the be- ginning of the world to the day of the date of this release with the said John James (Gene) Tunney.” The complaint is worded as Kath- srine King Fogarty against James Joseph Tunney and the first release is made to James J. Tunney but the second release, throughout, refers to the defendant as John James (Gene) Tunney. Trial of the suit will go over un-| 1il the Steptember term of court, As- Clerk Harry F.

Ac- cording to the police, McGowan's wife is a sister of Burks. All ar negroes. John Baker, 31, of 312 Elm street; Cephus McGowan, 37, of 14 Willow street, and Clinton Woolfolt, 29, of 74 James street, Bristol, charged with breach of the peace, are Aalso held for trial, bonds in each of their cases being set at $1,000. The quar- tet was in police court today, and Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods recommended the continuance and the bonds in view of Burka' inability to be in court. The men are ne- groes. Aoccuses Henry MoGowan Sergeant J. C. Stadler and Officers William Grabeck and John M. Licb- ler responded to a call to headquer- ters that there was a atabbing affray at 312 Elm street and on arriving there the officers found Burks on the sidewalk, bleeding profusely, with nothing remaining of his shirt but the collar. He told them Henry McGowan had stabbed him and might be found in the yard. Hurry- ing into the yard, the officers found Ofticer John Kennedy, in civillan clothes, holding McGowan, who had a bloody knife in his pocket. They learned that Officer and Mra. Ken- nedy were on their way uptown to do some shopping When a man told the former “a Portuguese guy”’ was cutting his throat in the space be- tween Elm street and Hartford av- enue, The ofticer hastened to the scene and caught McGowan, who was trying to get into a house, the door of which was bolted. Refused to Lend $1 Burks was taken to the hospital by Sergeant Stadler, while Officer Kennedy and Grabeck took Mc- Gowan to police headquarters, Burks told the police he and Henry and “Matt” McGowan, who was aftpr- wards found to be Cephus, brother of Henry and well known to the pn- lice, had been shooting crap Satur- day afternoon and Henry wanted to borrow §1 from him. Burks was jthe peace and theft, but Prosecuting iday night $15 ahead at the time but he would not make the loan, not wanting to spoil his luck by playing against his own money, and when he refuscd, McGowan cut him while Baker held him, McGowan, who pleaded guilty when arraigned in court and is said to have admitted to the police after his arrest that he used a knife on Burks, told them he had loat about $8 in the crap game and so he of- fered his turn to Burks, the latter having *“hot dice” all afternoon, Makiug the throw, Burks, according to McGowan, won $3 but only gave him 50 cents, McGowan awore at him for his stinginess, whereupon Burks punched him in the face, Angered at the poor luck he had been having in the game, the punch drove him into a frenzy and he pulled out his knife and slashed viciously at Burks. Baker Has Cut On Ieg Baker was found to have a slash in his trousers and a slight cut on the leg, after he had been locked up. According to McGowan, his brother Cephus made a brave effort to prevent him from stabbing Burks. Woolfolt was arrested about 11 o'clock Saturday night on Hartford avenue by Officers Harper, Cosgrove and Sanders on charges of breach of Attorney Woods nolled the latter charge. Burks it is said, gave $29 to Woolfolt to keep for him Batur- and when he sent his daughter to get it a little while later, Woolfolt gave her only $10, accord- ing to the allegation. Mr. Woods, found, however, that the charge could not be proven, so he did not press it. Find “Still” in House Officers Todzia and James Sulli- van found a “still” in the house while searching for a weapon, their bolie® being that a razor may have becn used, besides the knife. They Jismantled the “still'* and brought it to police headquarters. Officer Kennedy was warmly praised by Lieutenant S8amuel Bam- forth, who was in charge at head- quarters, for the fearlessness which characterigad his action. Being off duty, he was without his revolver and other weapons, yet he did not hesitate to go after McGowan despits the fact that the latter was armed with ths knife. Burks has between 40 and 80 stitches in various parts of his body, it was said today at New -Britain General hospital. Some of the lacern- jions are slight, while others vary in length between 3 and 7 inches.

BREAD HEBALD CLASSIFIED ADS .|guel laland, | Trans-Radio (Continued from First Page) their arrival, or whether they decid- ed to continue straight on to New York without stopping, were ques- tions still unsolved today. Public Unaware of Fate There are no nenwapapers in Spain on Monday morning, and afternoon papers do not issue until 8 p. m., therefore the Spanish pub- lic still was unacquainted with the bad news, the last it had being the false report of landing at San Miguel Jsland, Azores. Subsequent reports to the con- trary r-ached only a few govern- ment ofticials, who took steps 1o start a scarch for Major Franco and his companions in ordering four destioyers and two squadrons of air- planes out. But they did not know hcw far their orders had been car- ried out and to what stage their search had progressed. hey said they were awaiting re- ports themselves from the air and naval hases concerning the search, \Descmyem Ordered Out Madrid, June 24 (#—Spanish de- stroyers were ordered today from the Galician coast to proceed in the direction of the Azores Islands in search of Major Ramon Franco, Spanish aviator, who was belleved to be down between Portugal and the Azores Archipelago on a trans- atlantic flight attempt. g Two squadron of airplanes, from the airdromes at Melilla, Morocco and Alcazares, in Cartagene, were ordered to” accompany the destroy- ers and conduct the search for the missing seaplane. Not Considered Desperate Official announcement of the search orders said the plane's plight was not considered desperate, since favorable weather conditions had prevailed between the Iberian Pen- insula and the Azores, and the huge Dornier whale seaplane was entire. ly meaworthy. The official note expressed the theory that the plane had been forc- ed to alight some where on its route from the Alcazares airdrome, which it left at 4:50 p. m. Friday (10:50 A. M. E, 8. T.) to Horta, which it ad planned to reach at € a. m Sat. urday morning, and make a brief stop for fuel Radio Would Cease It was explained that the plane’s radio would cease to function once the plane alighted on the water, and for that reason the silence of Major Franco and his companions, Major Arturo Gallarza, Captain Ruiz De Alda, and the mechanic Madariaga, was not considered ominous. The semi-official Monday newspa- per “Noticiero Del Lunes,” quoted the premier, General Primo De Rivera, as saying: “The aviators must unhappily be considered as lost.” ‘The premier added that a previ- ous report of their safety at San Mi- in the Azores group; made- public by himself Saturday afternoon, was “inexact.” Confirmed National Fears The premier's Sunday statement and the subsequent official note con- firmed fears which had been grow- ing for hours. Although lacking de- tails General Primo De Rivera's an- nouncement that the Jupiter as the plane is known had arrived at 8an Miguel Island Saturday was consid- ered authoritative, and caused tre- mendous rejoicing throughout Spain. The Western Union operator at Horta, Azores, told the Associated Press that the operator at San Mig- uel Island, on the east of the Archi- pelago had said the fliers were not there. He had heard, he said, that they had alighted between Formigas and Banta Mario Islands, at the ex- treme southeast of the group, but that he had no confirmation of this. Gunboat on Search The Portuguese gunboat Zaircs left Ponta Delgada, near Horta, at 11 p. m. Saturday night to search for the missing seaplane. It went in the direction of S8an Miguel f: land. A Lisbon message, timed 3:45 a. m, (10:45 p. m. Sunday E. 8. T.) said “up to this hour” the Zaires had found no trace of the fliers. It also had failed to receive answer to its radio calls. Failure to receive definite reports from the plane during Sunday gave rise to rumors here that it had con- tinued on to New York, or at lesst | as far as Newfoundland or to Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, as it had been sug- gested it might do. pointed out, however, that the avia- tors probably would not have ven- tured past the Azores without plenishing their gasoline tanks. Left Friday The four aviators left Alcazares airdrome, Cartagena, Spain, at 4:30 p. m. (10:50 a. m. E. 8. T.) Friday morning. They had veiled their plans with considerable mystery. At the last moment they left behind their huge four motored Numancia plane, which they had constructed especially for a round the world flight, and took instead a large Dornier whale seaplane, sometimes called the Jupiter, which they had brought from Italy. The Dornier plane was a faster machine than the Numancia, and should have made the Azores in 15 to 16 hours. The fliers passed over Huelva, Spain, at 9:10 p. m. (3:10 p. m. E. S. T.) The last wireless message from the plane came sev. eral hours later when it radioed that it had passed over Cape San Vincent, Portugal, and was headed out to sca. Heard Plane's Motors The steamship Greldon, 100 miles southeast of San Miguel Island, Azores. at 3:37 a. m. G. M. T. (10:37 p. m. Friday) reported hearing the Jupiter's motors overhead. Saturday afternoon the Company broadcast messages relayed by the Lisbon wireless station from the Portugucse warship Vasco Da Gama which picked up the following message from the plane: “We arrived at 8 a. m. and intend to resume our flight at 5 p. m. to- morrow, Sunda It was on this last report that the Spanish premier's announcement of the arrival of the plane in the Azores evidently was based. He later told Noticiero Del Lunes that he had Spanish Some persons | re- | Darien, June 24 (P—Presley Norton, 22, son of a New York city broker, and his companion, Blake Clarke, 29, of New York city, were held today by the town court for a hearing later on charge of drunkenness, breach of the’peace and destruction of pro- perty.

The weather off the Nova Scotla coast was unfavorable for flying with a thick fog prevalling. Flare Reported Nw York, June 24 (R—A steam- ship's report of the sighting of a flare, believed to have been from an plane, 400 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Sunday morn- ing, caused speculation whether the Spanish transatlantic fliers had at- tempted to cross to the American continent without first stopping at the Azores. Since more than enough time had elapsed since the sighting of the sup- posed flare for the Spaniards’ plane to reach Halifax or New York, it was presumed that if the plane made such an athempt it was down in the western Atlantic or in an isolated spot on the east Atlantic seaboard. Picks Up Message The Radio Marine Corporation picked up a message from the freighter Buffalo Bridge saying that at 5:40 a. m, G. M. T, Sunday (12:40 a. m. E. 8. T.) in latitude 40:04 north, longiture 50:57 west, it had observed *“a flare of light bearing six degrees true at an alti- tude of 10 degrees.” The radiogram added the object was “apparently an airplane.” The position given was approximately 400 miles south and slightly east of Cape Race, on the route the plane probably would have followed had it attempted to cross without stopping. The time, also, was about that the Dornier Wahl plane of Major Ramon Kranco and: his three companions would have required to reach that NINE BEAD IN STATE (Continued from First Page) to his death and almost took several other lives in rescue attempts.
