LONDON, April 1. While admir
alty officials conferred today to de
vise means of meeting the expected
raid by Zeppelins on London, word
was received that German aeroplanes
were dropping bomb within 32 miles
of the city.
With the activity shown by the
aerial arm of the German war ma
chine In the last 38 hours, the au
thorities here believe an attack may
be made on London In the next few
hours.
A dispatch has been received from
Chatham stating that a German aero
plane dropped several bombs at Fa
versham, 1 miles southeast of Lon
don. Slttingbourne, 32 miles away,
also has been bombarded by airmen.
A British aviator pursued the Ger
man taube at this place and the lat
ter flier fled toward the continent.
Count Zeppelin has arrived at Cm

on London, according to a dispatch
from Amsterdam. Several Zeppelins
of the most recent type have been
transported from Emden to Cuxhav
en. The German aerial forces are show
ing the greatest activity in their
preparations.
Dispatches received from several
Islands off Holland reported that
three Zeppelins were sighted sailing
toward England late yesterday. These
reports apparently confirmed state

OF HELLWIG BREDING
n
Though it was pretty well estab
lished that the assailant of Hellwlg
Breding early Sunday morning- at
Herman hall was a young man nam
ed Mark Whattam, the grand Jury,
when it made its report this morning,
did not return an Indictment against
him "for the reason that there is yet
much confusion about the matter.
However, the testimony of the im
portant witnesses was written down
and filed so that it may be used lat
er, either against the accused himself
or against some of the witnesses who
showed a singular inability to re
member clearly or to make contrary
statements.
In company with Harold C'resswell.
Roy Temple and Clyde Perkins, all
three school boys In this city, young
Whattam. according to the state
ment of one of the boys, drove out
to German Hall Saturday evening in
, buggy and it was these same three
boys who brought him back to Pen
dleton after the cutting affray and
let him out below the city at the foot
of the Nelson grade so that, as one
said, he could "beat It."
The young man, who Is about 10
years old, has been working on a
ranch near the city and came in to
tewn Saturday. Last summer he
worked all through harvest on the
ranch of Walter Cresswell and there
he became acquainted with the other
three boys who were also working
there. Thus it was that he came to
accompany them to German Hall
Saturday evening.
The origin of the fight lay In a
measure of liquor which had been
taken to the dance. A quarrel was
started by Whattam, according to the
story told, with Willie Breding
younger brother of the wounded man,
and another boy because of the dis
appearance of the liquor. When
Whattam undertook to throttle the
younger Breding. the elder brother
stepped In and pushed him away.
The fight resulted, Whattam drawing
a knife and cutting Breding twelve
times.
The knife was the property of
oung Perkins who says he loaned It
to Whattam without any knowledge
English Capital is

In addition to the Zeppelin and
aeroplane raids by the Germans' In
England, the greatest activity la evi
dent among the aviation corps on the
continent. French ailators have
bombarded German headquarters at
Mezieres and have attacked the mili
tary buildings at Ostend. Berlin has
announced the killing of six and the
wounding of 10 non-combatants at
Freidburg in a French . aeroplane
raid, and in retaliation German
aviators dropped seven bombs at Ca
lais. Official reports stated that but
little damage was done.
Bombs dropped at Favershara and
Slttingbourne did practically no dam
age. Two German aeroplanes ap
peared at Slttingbourne. The Ger
mans obviously were on a scouting
expedition.

the longest of which probably did not

found the following morning.
The four boys drove back to Pen

to make his getaway below town.
Temple, Cresswell and Perkins were
among the witnesses subpoenaed be

culty was encountered in getting any
clear statements from some of them

They all knew him as Mike, which,
with their description of his personal
appearance, led the Jurors on a
wrong trail Eventually, however,
they got back on what they thought
was the right trail and summoned the
three boys again. It Is reported thac
