W. Loose. romp: believed TO BE GOAL OF DARING AIRMAN (fONTIM Ell FHOM PAGE ONE) flying at an altitude of about, 1,500 feet and making good speed. The course from Ne4‘ York over the vicinity of Provincetown would be on a straight line between Roosevelt Field and St. Johns, Newfoundland, which place they should reach before dark tonight and then embark over the great uircle course across the Atlantic. Morning reports showed highly favorable flying conditions in the Northwestern Atlantic. Both Halifax, N. 8., and St. Johns, Newfoundland, reported clear skies with excellent visibility, no fog and light, favorable winds. The plane, heavily loaded, took off at 6:05:27 am., on its second attempt. On the first effort, a few minutes earlier, Chamberlain brouht the plane to a stop without trying to leave the ground. “We may go to Berlin, we may go to London,” said Chamberlain just befor he left. “ We may go to Paris. Rome or even Moscow. It all depends on our fuel supply.” The takeoff of the Columbia was dramatic —even more dramatic, perhaps, than Capt. Charles Lindbergh's start for Paris from the same runway two weeks ago. Chamberlain, clad in knickers and a windbreaker, was In the pilot's seat, and it began to appear that he would emulate Lindbergh’s feat of flying alone. Nothing had been said of who w’ould accompany him. Then, as the engine warmed up, Charles Levine, preside]/; of the company that owns the plane and sponsor of the flight, ran to the side of th ecabin and climbed in. He was in street clothes and did not even wear a hat. Levine’s wife who was standing nearby, screamed, “Is he going?” and fell in a faint, as the plane and Rs unexpected passenger started moving down the runway. Ater taxiing 300 feet, the plane halted and was taken back to the end of the runway for a new start. It set off aain, and this time rose easily and graciously into- the haze and sunshine of the morning air. The craft easily cleared telegraph wires at the end of the field—wires which almost caught Lindbergh when he took, off for Paris. Chamberlin flew straight across Long Island and headed out to sea instead of turning north along the coast, as Lindbergh did, George Weiss, a motion picture cameraman, reported when he returned to the field after following the Columbia for several miles. The plane probably would be able to remain afloat several hours if it were forced down at sea, aviation men said. The gasoline tanks would l>e drained and would then serve as floats. The craft carried a collapsible rubber boat. —o DULL SENTENCED TO SERVE 1 TO 7 YEARS IN PRISON (CO.MTIM ED FHOM I’AUE for them as an agent for the Everett Hite company, obtained the cigarettes and sold them to local store proprietors. He left town before the police were notifl B d of the matter. Later, Dull was arrested in Ohio and identified by one or more persons as the driver of the automobile in which two bandits escaped after robbing a bank at Payne, Ohio. However, an insanity inquest was held at Van Wert, Ohio, and the physicians declared Dull insane. He was committed to the Ohio state hospital for the insane at Toledo, and he escaped from that Institution twice within four weeks. Just before his second escape, the hospital physicians, folding a mouth’s observance, had declared Dull sane, it is said, and were preparing to discharge him trom the hospital. He was arrested at Mariom Indiana, this week and returned to Decatur Thursday night by Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth.
