Wl A , big 10-passenger helicopter plunged from 1,500 feet Into the icy waters oi the Strait of Juan de Fuca Thursday afternoon, carry ing five men to their deaths. The plane had been up an hour on a training flight and appeared to be coming in for a landing when Its power failed, Coast Guard officials said. It plunged straight down until 100 feet above the vi ler when It nosed Up slightly, then over into a nose dive as the tail rotor broke under the strain. The craft landed only 15 yards onsnore, in 24 feet of water. Two bodies were recovered about nine hours after the crash. The Coast Guard said the bodies of the pilot, Lieut. J. W. Day, 26, and Aviation Machinist Dale R. Littleford, both of Port Angeles, were found in the nose of the 'copter when it was lilted from the water early Thursday. Search continued for the other victims. Others lost In the crash were Aviation Machinists Robert A.

Emma Jo testified she . only grabbed Mrs. Jones by her braids In - self-defense- and- Mrs. ' Jones slumped to the floor unconscious. - The jury convicted Emma Jo of second degree murder; sentence, 10 to 12 years. Author Gardner, who also Is a successful attorney, went to work on the case about a year ago as a result of a letter from Jack Wen gert, 44, Emma Jo's fiance. Gardner, pathologist' Le Moyne Snyder i of Michigan and Dr. R. B. H. Gradwohl of St. Louis became convinced that Mrs.' Jones was not murdered, but died of a brain tumor. In the long, expensive Investi gation, they found Dr. T.' V. Nendlck, Las Vegas physiothera pist, to whom Mrs. Jones had gone the day before the altercation. Dr. Nendlck said Mrs. Jones was dying of the brain tumor and needed Immediate surgery. He was not called to testify at Emma Jo's trial, although he said he sent the defense attorney an anonymous letter. The lawyer said the letter came on the final day of the trial and he was unable to substantiate It. The case was not appealed. . In ordering Mrs. Johnson's sen tence . commuted to time served, the pardons board made no ob servation on- whether she should have been charged with a lesser crime. Emma Jo was philosophical: "I'm not angry at anyone I'm Just so grateful that somebody came to my rescue. I'm not bitter. The district attorney, the judge and the jury did their job as they felt u snouiu oe done." Although free, Emma Jo stayed at the prison last night waiting for Wengert, who has waited for her for almost three years. Wengert, a Las Vegas chef, and Emma Jo were to have been mar ried In 1951 after she divorced Navy man Russell Johnson. "Just as soon as I can I'm going u - marry Jack," uie emotion. choked Mrs. Johnson told re porters. "Jack Is the most faithful and loyal human that God ever put breath Into. He has worked hard all this time and contributed every dime- he made to help me."
