ILL HOPE IS GIVEN
UP MODS MOYLE
IND ALLEN STILL ALIVE
SEATTLE, Sept. 11. (£>)—Hope
that Moyle and Allen, may be
found alive was practically aban
doned after numerous reports that
planes were passing in various
sections of the Aleutian Islands
and northern Canada failed to be
verlcated.
Aviation experts and Coast Guard
ofifcers declared that there was
scarcely a chance to find trace of
them.
Dutch Harbor reports were dis
counted when messages from
Coast Guard cutters searching
there said they found no con
formation of those reports.
Extensive investigation on Van
couver Island and British Co
lumbia failed to confirm rumors
that they had landed there.
HOME KILLING IN
NEW YORK WTNESSED
Of TERRIFIED FOLK
■*
NEW YORK, Sept. 11- —New York
police last evening identified the
victim of what is descrbed as one
cf the most cold-blooded murders
on record.
Identification was made by means
cf an auto license number which
:he slain man carried in his pocket.
The murder was committed by
three fashionably dressed men who
entered a store here with sub-mach
ne guns, revolvers, knives and
razors and drove their victim from
a telephone booth and stood him
up against a wall and mowed him
with machine gun bullets, stabbed
him in the back and slashed his
throat
The murderers paid no attention
to the large number of people who
were witnesses to the horror.
No attempt was made to interfere
with the murderers as the witnesses
were too terrified to do anything;
and the three men calmly put
their guns under their coats and
walked out and escaped.
Police said the killing was the
result of a “bootleg war.”

continued in the air in their non
stop flight across the North Pa
cific, Don Moyle and Cecil Allen,
California aviators, are missing
somewhere along the 4,400-mile
great circle route between Japan
and Seattle.
The most optimistic aviation ex
perts here agreed the fuel in the
single-motored monoplane could
not have lasted longer than about
48 hours under the most favor
able conditions.
They left Samushiro beach, 375
miles north of Tokyo, at 12:30
p. m., Monday, Pacific Coast Time,
and expected to set their wheels
on the airport here in from 39
to 44 hours. Neither flyer had
extensive experience as a nav
igator and a slight miscalculation
would have led them far from
their course.
Their margin of safety was only
several hours. They carried no
radio and if they landed in the
water their plane was expected
to float no longer than 35 minutes.
