Schnorbach, Driver Of Car,
Free On $1,500 Bond;
Demands Examination
Prosecutor Albert C. Rapp an-
nounced yesterday that William L.
Schnorbach, 24-year-old resident of
Manistee, Mich., will be examined on
a charge of negligent homicide re-
sulting from an automobile accident
early Sunday morning which caused
the death of Alford Webster Dubs, jr.,
'43L.
Schnorbach was arraigned before
Justice Jay H. Payne yesterday morn-
ing, and demanded examination: He
was released on bond of $1,500. The
preliminary hearing will be held
Nov. 22.
Killed Instantly
Dubs was killed instantly at 2:30'
a.m. Sunday when the car driven
by Schnorbach swerved off the road
on Washtenaw Ave., a mile east of
Milan Rd. Hospital officials said
that a broken neck was the cause of
death. Schnorbach and two other
companions in the car escaped with
minor injuries.
Witnesses to the accident reported
that Schnorbach said that he fell
asleep while traveling west on the
highway toward Ann Arbor. Deputy
sheriffs Raymond L. Roy and May-
nard Pierson investigated the acci-
dent and reported that the car
swerved off the right side of the road
and crashed into a telephone pole,
shearing the entire right side of the
automobile. It then rebounded and
flew through the air, crashing to
the ground after turning completely
around.
A member of Delta Tau Delta fra-
ternity, Alford Dubs entered the law

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-(AP)-
The German government today or-
dered German warships not to inter-
fere with the 6ity of Flint on its way
back to the United States.
Alexander C. K i r k, American
charge d'affaires in Berlin, was in-
formed by the Reich Foreign Office
that the German naval command,
in view of its understanding that the
cargo of the American freighter had
been landed at Bergan, Norway, has
ordered all German craft to refrain
from taking any action against the
vessel.
An official of the State Depart-
ment here said the German order was
a voluntary one and, did not result
from any request by this government.
However, it was recalled that, the
United States formally requested both
Germany and Great Britain, while
the City of Flint was still in com-
mand of the German prize crew, to'
take all necessary measures to avoid
injuryto the American crew.
In Washington meanwhile Sumner
Welles, under-secretary of state, said
tonight that force would not be used
in patrolling the neutrality zone
which has been established around1
the Americas.
In a radio address Welles, who
headed the American delegation to
the Panama conference which creat-
ed thene utrality zone, said: "There
is no implication in this agreement
of a determination on the part of any
American republic to undertake to
exercise force in order to procure ob-
servance of its term."

By MILTON ORSHEFSKY
The case against former County
Clerk Emmett M. Gibb, charged with
embezzling $5,547.52 from relief funds,
is scheduled to go to the 14-member
jury this morning after Defense At-
torney John W. Conlin presents his
final argument.
Yesterday's session saw County
Prosecutor Albert J. Rapp review the
people's testimony for the jury. In
a summation speech of one hour and
35 minutes, he traced the story of
Gibb's manipulations from Jan. 1,
1936 to April 15,1939, and concluded
with: "I'm pretty sure. . that it
won't take you (the jury) very long
to deliberate on this case . ..
Attorney Conlin began his defense
summation by emphasizing to the
jury that in criminal proceedings of
this type, "it is your sworn duty to
declare the man not guilty if there is
any reasonably doubt about the prose-
cution's case."
