SOUTHERN CROSS FLIGHT
LITIGATION ENDS MUTUAL ADMISSIONS MADE SYDNEY, Friday. The litigation in which Lieutenant Keith Anderson, as plaintiff, sued Squadron-Leader Kingsford Smith and Lieutenant IJlm, claiming a share of the profits of the Southern Cross Pacific flight last year, ended in the Equity Court to-day. The plaintiff admitted that his voluntary departure from America to Australia before the flight dissolved the original partnership, and amounted to an abandonment of his rights, if any, in any title, prize, or profits arising from the successful accomplishment of the flight. The defendants on their part admitted that Anderson’s departure and nonreturn to America was not the result of any lack of personal courage or fear of the dangers of the flight. The suit was settled on these lines. No order concerning costs was made.
