to have planned the robbery, stand
charged with the slaying. April 3, 1931,

cashier at the restaurant. Mrs. Jaynes
was shot when one of two hooded
hold-up men lost his head during the

death. Mrs. Jaynes was not aware that
she was shot until she reached her
home.
Woman Is Missing.
The whereabouts of Mis. Dodsworth
still is unknown. The arrest and in
dictment of Jordan came through a
letter he wrote last May to United
States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett, ask
ing if “there is a possibility of my
going through another investigation”
in connection with the killing. Jordan
had been arrested and questioned
shortly after the hold-’- but there
were insufficient facts to hold him.
Detective Sergt. Robert J. Barrett
Immediately was dispatched to Mount
Vernon, N. Y., where Jordan then was,
to talk with him.
Barrett reported that Jordan broke
down and confessed participation in
the robbery. He said the man told
him he intended to get married and
wrote Mr. Garnett to assure himself
there was no further danger of
prosecution.
Implicated Woman.
Brought back to Washington, Jordan,
allegedly, implicated the Dodsworth
woman, describing.her as the person
w-ho planned the robbery and intro
duced him to the other man who par
ticipated in it. Police say Jordan told
them he did not know the man's
name. Miss Dodsworth also was ar
rested during the investigation Im
mediately following the murder, but,
like Jordan, finally was freed.
Assistant United States Attorney
Roger Robb, who will prosecute the
case, said he expects it to take two
or three days. Jordan is represented
by Attorney Richard Bowman. The
trial will be before Justice F. Dickinson
Letts.
The robbery and slaying occurred
at 11:30 o'clock on a Good Friday
night. A number of patrons were in
the restaurant, located on Columbia
road near Eighteenth street.
Two men, hoods over their heads and
guns in their hands, entered and held
every one at bay. One of the robbers
scooped $101 from the cash register
and then was startled by a noise. In
his fear he shot Mrs. Jaynes and the
pair fled. Police charge that Miss
Dodsworth, waiting for them outside
In an automobile, drove them away.

Good News for Fishermen.
A scientist of the Norwegian fish
eries has discovered that sound waves
sent from a ship’s bottom were re
flected from the backs of fish in large
schools in the same manner that
echoes bounced back from the rock
or mud bottom. So that echo-record
ing apparatus, which ships use in
making sounding depths can also be
used in locating schools of fish.
