'Copter Crash
Kills Five
PORT ANGELES, ' Wash. 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.
Chaubin and Pete Palombinl, also
of Port Angeles, and a New Yorker
whose name was withheld pend

two women- got into a fight and
Emma Jo beat Mrs. Jones so se
verely that a resulting blood clot
caused the older woman's death
two weeks later.
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."
