"It was hell." said Stanton
after the Petrel brought him
back to Charleston. "All one
big nightmare."
When the Judy went down
Friday niglit 50 miles from
here, he said, "winds were
gusting up to f0 miles an hour,
and waves were more than 30
feet high."
Friday morning, the cutler
began having trouble with its
twin generators.
"Without them we couldn't
pump the bilges," Stanton said.
The Judy radioed for help
and maintained radio contact
with ships and planes through
out the day as the crew worked
to save her.
"Then we had an engine ex
plosion," Stanton said. "It was
minor, but with the amount of
fuel aboard we realized it
would be necessary to jump."
Airplanes circled over the
stricken ship. The towering
waves kept them clear of the
cutter and made it impossible
to successfully drop pumps.
Stanton and Kidd ran below
says he masterminded the slay
ing of his wife.
Tlie dimple-checked criminal
attorney took the stand in his
own defense Friday and told the
murder trial jury that his health
improved "remarkably" after
telling his wife about an affair
with another wenun.
. He said he made a clean breast
of the affair to his heiress wife.
Carol, 34. who was bludgeoned
and slabbed to death in their
1 home, March 6.
The prosecution, which claims
Thompson plotted the slaying
to collect more then $1 million
in insurance he had taken out
on Carol's life and to start a
new life with his paramour, will
probably present rebuttal wit
nesses when the trial resumes
Monday.
The case was expected to go
to the jury of six men and six
women sometime this week.
Thompson, under direct exam
ination by his defense attorney,
Hyam Segell, said his wife was
a "very fine, lovely woman."
He said they got along well and
that when he linally decided to
tell her about his affair with
sultry divorcee Jacqueline Die
sel, his wife already knew
about it.

Sources at the Secretariat for
Promoting Christian I'nity said
there was no chance of a vote

The rockets will be aimed at

it.
Howard charged Wade had
known Ruby on a first name
basis for 10 years but now re
ferred to him as a man who
used an alias and lived only a
stone's throw from Oswald.
Wade is "creating an unfair
atmosphere," he said, and add
ed that he would probably ask
the trial be moved to a city
"200 or 300 miles from Dallas,
where Dallas newspapers don't
circulate."
If the trial is moved, Howard
said, it would probably be late
January or early February be
fore Ruby comes to trial.
Howard said reports that Os
wald and Ruby knew each oth
er were just rumors and the
first time Ruby saw Oswald was
in the jail the night after the
assassination.
