MUNCIE PASTOR CLEARED ON ATTACK ATTEMPT CHARGE BY GIRL SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER Held Not Guilty by Jury Verdict; Loyal Members of Flock Cheer When Prayers for Leader Are Answered. By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., April 4 —Charges that the Rev. G. Lemuel Conway attempted to attack a pretty 18-year-old Sunday school teacher, on which he was found guilty at a church trial several weeks ago, were erased in civil court today. A jury of ten farmers, a school teacher and a salesman found the suspended Methodist minister innocent after four hours' deliberation. He had been accused by Miss Helen Huffman, high school senior, of taking her in his automobile to a secluded country road to teach her "facts of life."

A few minutes before the jury brought in its verdict, loyal members of Conway’s Madison Street congregation held a fervent prayer service in an ante room of the court. They cheered when the verdict was announced and Conway, with tears in his eyes, hurried forward to thank the jury. The trial, which lasted a week, bared internal strife within the church and brought sensational accusations both from the state and the defense. In final arguments Prosecutor Paul Lefler referred to the clergyman as a ‘ Dr. Jekyll.” At the same time counsel for Conway depicted Dr. Frank M. Daugherty, district superintendent and a star witness for the state, as “the most dangerous man in America.” Conway said today he would seek an appeal from the ecclesiastical verdict. An assault and battery charge also is pending against him. It resulted from an argument the minister had with William Aurand. choir leader, during which Conway was accused of pushing Aurand over the chancel rail. Miss Huffman charged that Conway offered an automobile ride last Dec. 29, her birthday anniversary. Instead of taking her downtown, he drove out into the country, she charged. Conway contended he was in a Muncie plumbing shop discussing a proposed fishing trip when the alleged attack was said to have occurred. Murder Appeal Heard The Indiana supreme court today heard arguments on the appeal of Glenn Donald Shuston, Gary, charged with the first degree murder of Alberta Knight, 12, daughter of the woman at whose home Shuston roomed. He is scheduled to die in the electric chair June 16. Rate Hearing Continues Hearing continued today before the public service commission on electric rates of the Northern Indiana Power Company affecting the towns of Sidney, Markle, Cicero. Larwill, Michigantown, Rossville and Fishers.

DISASTER PROBE IS CONSIDERED Rep. McClintic Prepares to Ask for Inquiry Into Akron Crash. (Continued From Page One) Akron, was one of those who telephoned. His voice broke as he acknowledged the scanty information available. "I’m afraid for the boy,” he said. It was indicated that the Lakehurst station might be closed as a result of the Akron tragedy. The dirigible Los Angeles, which was decommissioned after a long service unmarred by accident, will be sold, according to present navy plans. The newly completed dirigible Macon will be subjected to the strictest tests before being placed in regular service. Meanwhile, Secretary Swanson said an investigating committee will be appointed to ascertain the cause of the Akron disaster “as soon as such a committee can decide wisely and intelligently.” Swanson sat at his desk and talked to newspaper men about the tragedy. He said he never had been “as enthusiastic over airships as some were.” He said in his opinion they were “very vulnerable.” Swanson expressed sympathy with members of Admiral Moffett's family and the highest admiration for the navy service. The heavy cruiser Portland just out of the Boston navy yard, which is standing by near the scene of the Akron's crash! will “leave nothing undone” in attempts to recover bodies and search for survivors, Swanson said.

Wiley called all hands to their pasts and began a battle against the storm, but his efforts were futile as the lightning grew more vivid and the thunderclaps echoed one after another. In the glare of brilliant flashes which lighted the heavens, the crew began dropping ballast to keep the craft at a high altitude. But the fury of the wind increased and the

Akron continued to drßp steadily. Then, when the storm mounted suddenly, a blast of wind ripped along the big envelope, damaging the rudder and causing the stern to dip. As the crew battled to save the Akron, she hovered at an altitude of about 1,000 feet. Then, she dropped. The dirigible fell with great rapidity to the water and crumpled as it struck, stern first. PUTS BAN ON BEER ADS Gannett Papers Not to Accept Brew Lineage, Says Owner. By United Prc ..LyCrtEfe'iuß, April 4.—Frank E. Gannett, founder of a group of sixteen newspapers in New York, New 7 Jersey and Connecticut, said today his publications would not accept beer advertising. “Before prohibition I threw out of the papers I then controlled all advertising of alcoholic beverages,” Gannett said. “The situation has not changed.”

First word that the Akron had ben xaught came from the 657-ton tanker Phoebus, shortly before 2 a. m„ in a message reporting that the Akron was "afloat” and that its chief officer and three members of the crew had been rescued. An hour later the Phoebus radioed that the Akron had “crashed,” but still offered no details and no word of the fate of others. Still later, Lieutenant Commodore H. V. Wiley sent verification of the crash to the navy, but still added few details. The navy, hesitant at first to believe that its pride had cracked up, ordered all available craft, sea and air, to speed to the scene of the wreck. Navy and coast guard ships put out from anchorages all along the Jersey coast, and from New York and New London, Conn. Planes started as soon as the fog permitted. The first plane off, dispatches here indicated, w 7 as the coast guard cabin seaplane CG-52, which left Cape May at 4:50 a. m., w 7 ith Lieutenant C. F. Edge in command. It carried a crew of four and had accommodations for four men on stretchers and eight others in the cabin. Hope Is Abandoned Bp United Pi e** WASHINGTON, April 4.—The | navy department today virtually ) abandoned hope for the rescue of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett and the other missing officers and men from the dirigible Akron. “We have lost a very fine officer in Admiral Moffett,” said Secretary of Navy Claude A. Swanson in revealing that none of the navy dispatches indicated the missing men would be found. With only three survivors, the Asthma and Hay Fever Disappear Like Magic!

t death list would number 73 or 74. the greatest number ever lost in a dirigible accident. The navy department added the name of Lieutenant Robert E. Sayre of Elgin, 111., to the list of those aboard the Akron when it left Lakehurst, N. J., Monday night. Sayre, attached to the Lakehurst station, was a passenger and brought the number aboard the Akron to 77. With 77 aboard and only three rescued, the death list would be 74.

LESLIE JEERS BEER MONOPOLY ‘Columbus’ Plight Fits the Picture,’ Says Former Indiana Governor. Former Governor Harry G. Leslie suggested today that the Republicans might be “cut in" on the new beer business by granting them a

monopoly on “rubber sandwiches." “The Democrats seem to have the beer monopoly, but I believe rubber sandwiches will be popular, since the law requires an order of food before you can get a bottle of beer," the former Governor explained. He said that during the Gaines law days in Indiana, when similar provision was made, they used to nail a sandwich to the bar.. “Columbus' plight fits the picture exactly,” he said. “He started out by not knowing where he was going. Arriving in the new world he didn't know where he was. and when he got back to Spain he couldn't tell where he had been."
