DEATH OF ULM
PROCEEDINGS IN PROBATE COURT United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 11, 10.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 11. Events associated with the disappearance of Charles Ulm and his companions on the ill-fated flight from America for Australia were related in the Probate Court to-day, when counsel sought leave to swear to the deaths of Ulm and George Littlejohn. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith’s affidavit expressed the opinion that the ’plane sank within a few minutes of touching the water in the vicinity of Honolulu. Sir Charles was also convinced that the American naval authorities at Honolulu made, exhaustive and magnificent efforts to locate the ’plane and no good purpose could have been served by further prolonging it. Ulm’s widow and private secretary also gave evidence regarding Ulm’s intention to establish a regular air service between America and Australia. The Court granted both applications.
