Watches on the bodies of the
victims had stopped at 10:10.
Allen Fitzgerald, an employe of
me Colorado Helormatory here
flew over the crash scene at mid
day, and latrr guided the first
rescue team to the site.
"It was the most gruesome
spectacle I've ever seen," he
said.
"The Impact must have been
so great that all their shoes were
ripped off."
So hazardous is the climb to
the crash site Fitzgerald said
his team climbed "almost ver
tically" for two miles that six
mules from Camp Hale, near
Leadville, Colo., were brought
here to help pack out the bodies.
The scene is near the top of
the Continental Divide, 12 miles
west of Buena Vista.
Two inmates of the Colorado
Reformatory told authorities they
saw the plane ' spin and crash.
Smoke rose immediately.
Fitzgerald said one of the vic
tims apparently tried to para
chute to safety. The tattered silk
of the 'chute was found fluttering
along a craggy slope.

SALT LAKE CITY Uft-A hoarse-
voiced Richard M. Nixon carried
his campaign to the Democratic
Southwest Tuesday after a part
ing blast at Adlai Stevenson.
But influenza and laryngitis
which slowed down the vice-pres
ident here last night forced him
lo cancel a scheduled speech set
for Oklahoma City Tuesday after
noon. Instead he will make only
a brief appearance in Oklahoma
Cily. However, he will deliver a
scheduled speech in Houston Wed
nesday night.
He was slowed down by what
his physician diagnosed as influ
enza and laryngitis probubly due
to fatigue from daily spoeches In
12 states in the past week, plus
extreme changes in temperature
and exposure from riding in open
convertibles In motorcades.
Dr. Malcolm C. Todd, Long
Beach, Calif., physician assigned
to Nixon's airborne campaign,
said the vice president should be
in bed. v
The .doclor, at a news confer
ence, said he advised Nixon not
to speak in Salt Lake Cily last
night, but Nixon insisted on going
through with his commitment.
"If he were a private patient,
I would order him to bed for one
or two days, but Mr. Nixon is in
sistent on carrying out his job,"
Dr. Todd said.
The Republican vice president
hoped to woo some Democrats to
the Eisenhower cause in speeches
at noon in Oklnhoma City and in
Houston, Tex., tonight, in line wilh
his professed belief that the GOP
needs the aid of independents and
"switching" Democrats if it is to
win in November.
Because he will be operating In
heavily Democratic areas, Nixon
planned to conduct a "construc
tive'' campaign in his initial visit
to the Southwest. The "peace,
prosperity and progress" he
claims have marked the four
years of Republican administra
tion will be his theme.
But he let fly at Stevenson,
Democratic presidential nominee,
in friendly Salt Lake City last
night, where he spoke to a capa
city indoor crowd.
It has become apparent, he said,
that all ftevenson has to "offer
to the American people is a car
bon copy of the same type of polit
ical demagoguery which charact
erized the Truman Fair Deal."
He accused the Democratic
standard-bearer of carrying on
"what' now appears to be a cal
culated campaign to divide Amer
icans on a class basis and to set
one group in "the population
against another,"
The Eisenhower administration,
he said, has applied only one
yardstick to every problem:
"What policy is in the best inter
ests of a majority of the 167 mil
lion people in the country?"
' Our deeds have matched our
words," he added.

Judge Voids $12 Million Inheritance

rher Rrapnn M-vear-nld heiress aunt and only survivor ol tour
named sole beneficiary to her children of the Boston store found-
grandmother's 12 million dollar
department store fortune, is not
entitled to the full inheritance,
Superior Court judge ruled yester
day.
The estate of her grandmother
Mrs. Mollie Netcher Newbury was
ordered placed back into the es
tate of Mrs. Newbury's first hus
band Charles Netcher, founder of
the defunct Boston store.
Superior Judge George M. Fish
er s ruling upheld a report by a
master in chancery recommend
ing a $16,728,742 judgment against
Mrs, Bragno in a suit filed in
1950 ' by other relatives of Mrs.
Newbury.
In effect, the court ordered the
assets of the Newbury estate to
the principal trust set up under
Netcher's will. Netcher died in
1905 and Mrs. Newbury died in
1954 at the age of 87,
Mrs. Bragno, whose attorney
said he will appeal Judge Fisher's
decision, Is one of the beneficiar
ies of the Netcher estate and thus
will not lose all the inheritance.
Mrs. Bragno, . who -was named
executrix of Mrs. Newbury's es
tate, is the wife of Edward Brag
no, 45-year-old wine merchant.
They have no children.
The suit filed in 1950 was by
two other -Netcher heirs, Mrs.
Francice. Netcher Bushkin, Mrs.
Bragno's sister, and Mrs. Ethel I
Mrs. Bushkin and Mrs. Bragno

"He's a potential killer,'r Wil

numbers of license suspensions

"We've got to catch people in

burv, who was trustee oi w es

until 1923.
Judge Fisher, in upholding the
Master in chancery report, said
Mrs. Newbury failed for 19 years
to set up separate trusts for each
of the four children of her hus
band and deposit annually in each
a prescribed portion of the earn
ings of the principal trust as her
husband's will irequire'd.
Fisher also said Mrs. Newbury
ignored or disobeyed instructions
in her husband's will in connec
tion with the sale or discontinu
ance of the department store. He
said Mrs. Nerbury should have
sold the store in 1923,-when 19
million dollars could have been
obtained for it. She sold it in 1946
for six million dollars.
isher said Mrs. Newbury failed
assets and encumbered assets of
the principal trusts in 1923 to such
an extent that no dividends or

trusts for many years.
Walter H. Moses, attorney for
Mrs. Bragno, told newsmen that
the principal of the Netcher estate
has remained intact and will not
be divided until the death of Mrs,
Chagnon, who is in her 50s and
lives in Rome.
Two sons of Charles Netcher Sr,
died in recent years and their
widows have an interest in the
court proceedings. They are Ros
zika Dolly Netcher, one of the
and widow of Irving Netcherr who
died in 1953, and Mrs. Harriet
Netcher, widow of Townsend
Netcher, who died in 1955.
