PAKE SIXTEEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1929 GIRL SWOONS UNDER PROBE AT GRAVE SIDE New Orleans (IPi Before an open (rave on the shores of the Mississ ippi, lone Ord, sophisticated city girl, gasped, swooned and finally ad mitted Thursday that a bullet torn body was that of Jack Kraft. New York newspaperman and adventur er, with whom she had started out to see the world. A small tattoo of an Indian head on the forearm furnished the iden tification along with a scar on knee, which George Kraft, older brother of Jack, who had come from New York, said established the Iden tity beyond any doubt. The girl swooned a half dozen times and attempted to fight her way iree once. The scene was on the banks of the Mississippi 55 miles below New Orleans and one mile below the spot where her traveling companion's body went hurtling from the Creole, new York-New Orleans boat. Revived by the sprinkling of river water on her head she was subjected to questioning as natives, peeping from the underbrush chattered in queer old French. She said neither she nor Sam Ep stein, ship steward, had shot Kraft, but would not swear that John Mc- Oouldrlck, second officer, had not snot nun. She declared she did not know who had shot him. She said both McQouldrick and Epstein had come to her assistance when Kraft was beating and chok ing her In a Jealous rage. Bhe de clared she had seen Kraft lean ov erboard. 8he could not explain the coroner's verdict that Kraft was dead before he hit the water. The girl was led over the rough prairie to a negro tennant's cottage, where she was given coffee. Suddenly and silently a detective laid a bedroom slipper on her lap. With a shriek she hurled the slip per across the room, Jumped up and fought the doors and walls in an ffort to escape. It was a slipper worn by Jack Kraft and washed ashore with his body. Then the Investigators drove back to New Orleans stating they were convinced the girl knows more than ahe has told about the tragedy. The case will be laid before the grand Jury Saturday.

If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, speak well of him, stand by him and stand by the in stitution he represents ,. If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's content. But as long as you are a part of the Institution, do not condemn It. If you do you are loosening the tendrils that hold you to the Institution, and the first high wind that comes along you will be uprooted and blown away, and probably you will never know why.
