The Storm trial opened up yester- day morning with E. S. Wright again in the witness chair. Attorney R. E.. Morrison conducted the examination on behalf of the people. The defend ant occupied his same chair, grouped with his attorneys, Mrs. Storm sitting on the bench within the railing direct ly behind him.
 There was a fair-sized crowd within the courtroom, and the jurors looked alert and attentive and apparently ready for business. The examination of MT. Wright was taken up at the point where it had been dropped by Attorney Morrison, Wednesday night. The first question was as to how much of the interior could be seen of the treasurer office while looking through the window of the north porch. The witness replied, that while the entire interior of the office could not be seen still a fairly comprehensive view could be obtained. The course of acton of the witness on the morning of No vember 9th was then gone into, what he did and what he saw and the condi- tions surrounding his actions. He was led to describe that Miss Storm. the daughter of the defendant. was there nm tho rnornin0 of that fa+afuI 1o,- of the 9th of November. That while not directly connected with the office. she was in the habit of rendering assist ance of a clerical nature to her father. When the witness entered that morn ing she was standing inside the count CT four or five feet from the vault door The condition of the office was then described, the books on the table. the position of the chairs, ,canceling stamps. etc.; also that the vault doors were open, that a money tray, with money on it. was sitting on a wash stand out side of the vault, behind the vault door. This tray could not be easily seen when the vault door was open. but when witness got hold of the vault door and partly closed it, he discover ed the tray and money. He did not count it at this time, and did not know how much money it contained, but he would estimate it at a few hundred

man and Fred Stevens of the Board of Supervisors, were present; that the money was then taken to the vault and also that Storm was not there; also that the office of county treasurer was in charge of the Board of Supervisors during those two days, or until Homer Wood qualified, and that all money or credits were placed as found to the credit of the defendant.
 Treasurer Wright was recalled and was questioned by Attorney R. E.. Morrison. MT. Wright, at the time of the commission of the alleged crime on the part of the defendant, was the deputy county treasurer, serving as such under J. P. Storm. His testi- mony concerned the records of the treasurer's office on the morning of May g, 1904. Attorney Morrison skillfully led him along step by step, starting in with the description of the office as it was that morning, com plete and in detail, then the vault, its position, construction, size and gem eral appearance; then the method of entering the vault, the number of doors, their position, their size; the locks and combinations, their nature and their strength; how closed and opened, bringing out the fact that the bars could be slid back by person being on the inside of the outer door if the time lock were not set, also if the time lock were once set neither door could be opened until the time had expired. From the vault AttOr- ney Morrison carried the witness along to the interior condition of the treasurer's office on this morning; the position of the tables, what books were thereon and also elicited the informa- tion that the vault doors were open at the time of the arrival of MT. Wright, and that as he entered the building he encountered MT. Hall in the hallway, though he could not re- member exactly what conversation passed between him and MT. Storm. there Icing only a few words at most. At this stage of the trial the Court adjourned. to be convened at 9.5O o'clock this morning.
 During the proceedings, E. s. Clark. former distrlct attorney, appeared and remained awhile as an interested spec tator, he having conducted the prose cution or the first Storm frial. Judge Wilson was also present, leaving the courtroom about p. m. The incidents of the trlal sc far are few. No sensa- tional evidence having been introduc- ed as yet, 1t being nearly the routine of the Identification of records and such other data as are preliminary to the real evidence that will be forthcoming as -he trIal develops. The jurors are being carefully attended and closely watched. The greatest care and vigi- lance is exercised combatable with their welfare and personal comfort.

 The fourth day oi the Storm trial opened yesterday morning, the defen- dant being one of l. first to arrive. Mrs. Storm and Mis- -tarn arriving shortly after the openir of the court The jurors looked wei fed and re- freshed, and ready fo- business.
 The first witness was J. D. Carter. secretary of the Live Stock Sanitary Board at Phoenix. He formerly lived in Prescott, and was under sheriff here under Joe Roberts. His duties in the sheriff's office at times occupied six teen hours of the day. Was there on November 8, from a. m. to II D. III. He entered the office of the treasurer on the morning of November 9. about 9.10 o'clock, and that while there he saw Miss Storm, daughter of the de- fendant, and D. D. Mcdonald. Witness then related that he saw the defendant that morning, who told him the story of the robbery. He stated that upon entering the treasurer s office. hand kerehief was picked up by Mcdonald. who handed it to the witness, which he hung up. At o'clock of that day he was eating lunch in the sheriff s of fee with Jailor Heisler, and the door of the sheriff s office was open. With JailOr Heisler. at 4.O7 o'clock he car ried food to the prisoners, but remain ed standing on the stairway as guard, from which position he com handed a view of the courthouse hall way, but he did not see anyone enter the courthouse. He was within 9 or 30 feet from the doorway of the treasurer's s office. Witness then fixed the time very positively, as he had looked at the clock at o'clock, as it was customary to feed the prisoners at that hour. He stood on the stairway for ten or twelve minutes. and he re- turned to the sheriff's office at the expiration of that time
 At this time Attorney HerndOn ob- jected to question on the part of the prosecution, but was overruled. Wit ness remained in the sheriff's office until p. m., and tbe courthouse was quiet during that interval, though less so between and 6 o'clock than be- tween f and ,. He heard no unusual noises during this time, and left the office at o'clock, returning at :, and remaining there until II o'clock, re- eeiving election returns. He had his schedule on the wall between the sheriff s office and the treasurer of flee, and made frequent trips to this schedule for the purpose of recording thereon election returns, which were read off from time to time The office was ordinarily quiet while this was go- ing on. At this point a diagram drawn by the witness of the treasurer 3 office, was placed in evidence.
 Attorney Ross here interposed with some questions in reference to diagram. elieiting the information that it had been made during the last trial. Witness then stated that in talk with Storm. the latter declared that while confined in the vault he could hear voices and footsteps in the hall of the courthouse. On the night of No vember sth, he saw many men go ID and out of the supervisors office, and {

this Is accomplished. she viii indeed
feel that her success is complete.
4 little more than a year ago some
interested friend Of Miss Alexander
sent her on her journey TO London,
armed with letters TO prominent mem
bers Of the social world there. One
OF these was 10 the famous Mrs. John
Mackay, who became her social spon-
sor. and practically made the clever
little girl from Tennessee the toast o.

learned the real plantation melodies,

who spent her early life in the real

characteristics and her triumph was
declared complete when she moved a

ed actress, offered TO coach the young
American girl in the role of Juliet If
she would study for the stage.
Lady Ludlow recently lent her
splendid mansion In Portland Place
for a recital by this talented American
girl for which the social world OF
London cheerfully paid 50 ticket
