NEW YORK April 13--(12)---
America and France joined in sor-
rowful tribute to Myron T Herrick
whose body was brought home with
the most solemn honors the two na-
tions could pay
' In death as in life Herrick was a
bond of affection between the two
republics As his body lay in a flag
draped casket on the deck of the
French cruiser Tourville which car-
ried it from Frame diplomats and
army and navy men of both nations
bowed in reverence The relation of
150 years begun by Lafayette seem-
ed closer than ever
Flier Pays Tribute
An affecting tribute was paid by
Col Charles A Lindbergh America's
flying hero With the family and
personal friends of Herrick he board-
ed the Tourville when she docked be-
fore noon at the French line pier in
the North River and stood bare-
headed by the coffin
Lindbergh stood there for two min-
utes his hands clasped behind him
and swift memories of Herrick's
graceful sponsorship when Lindbergh
flew from New York to Paris were
evoked Two years ago Lindbergh
landed in the midst of 100000 cheer-
ing' Frenchmen at Le Bourget field
While the crowd roared "Vive L'
Amerique" Herrick mounted the bal-
cony of the field headquarters waving
the flier's helmet and let the crowd
in a demonstration that brought
American and French feeling closed
together than at any time since the
war
- Harbor NO3'
The return Of Herrick who died at
his post as United States ambassa-
dor to Paris was accompanied by
scenes that fitted perfectly with his
life and accomplishments
The Tourville escorted by the
American cruisers Marblehead and
Cincinnati arrived at quarantine by
mid morning The municipal boat
Macom carrying and official com-
mittee drew alongside
The committee boarded the Tour-
ville while her crew was drawn to at-
tention stood for a few moments in
silence by the bier
The body under the after guns of
the Tourville was draped with the
Stars and Stripes and surrounded
by ferns and palms The Tourville
proceeded slowly up the harbor fol-
lowed by the Mirblehead the Cincin-
nati and the Mocoim All ships and
tugs in the harbor had their flags

explain her mysterious "surf to
sand" disappearance in 192(i brand-
ed as a "hoax" today in the im-
peachment trial of superior Judge
Carlos S Hardy
Mrs Lorraine Wiseman Seilaff re-
appearing from seclusion in Seattle
charged from the witness stand that
she and Judge Hardy engineered a
"frameup" to produce a "Miss X" as
an alibi for the fiery-haired Angeltis
Temple evangelist
She added that Judge Hardy had
promised to use his official position
to help "put it over" that Mrs Mc-
Pherson was kidnaped
Judge Hardy is accused of accept-
ing $2500 from the evangelist as a
"legal fee' for services rendered her

In face of the damaging testimony

that Mrs Seilaff once was confined

Inman's Pretty Wife Blamed
By Jury for Most of Marital
Trouble He is Given Divorce
Preacher Foreman Prings In
Decision A f ter "Wild
Party" Life of Wealthy
Pair Is Heard
RENO Nev April 13-111)--The
Inman divorce case reached a °dra-
matic finale todly when a jury led
by a Baptist preacher deci(led that the
husband heir to the Duke tobacco
millions had proved his charges ot
indiscretion and intoxication against
the daughter of an Indiana clergy-
man lute divorce over pretty Helen Pat-
ton Inman's counter plea It was ae-
cided also to deny Mrs Inman's de-
mand for $250000 alimony
The jury however attt ranted to shift
to the husband part of the blame for
the "wild parties" which allegedly
featured the married life of the In
and sought to gratt Mrs In-
man monthly alimony of $1500
The move was blocked by presid-
ing Judge George Bartlett who ruled
that the alimony stipulation of the
verdict might be filed but not record-
ed thereby offering the possibility
of an appeal to the supreme court
The verdict granting Inman an ab-
solute divorce also upheld the settle-
ment agreement signed by Inman
and Helene in New York City in 1927
whereby Mrs Inman was to receive
$15000 anually until re-marriage
The jury of men requirt:d five hours
and forty minutes to reach a decision
on the mass of testimony vhich had
collected during the days of the trial
The verdict was returned at 12:10 a
m Mrs Inman had been in the
courtroom all night with two sisters
laughing and chatting and express-
ing complete confidence that the jury
would be directed by her charges that
Walker did nothing at home "but
drinking three quarts of Scotch ev-
ery day and read magazines
Thus the extended trial probably
the most drawn out case in Reno's
history ended in defeat for pretty
Helene who had vigorously opposed
Walker's suit and had sought the de-
cree in her name
Under a provision of Nevada law
either party may remarry at will
but both previously testified that they
had no such intentions
