The
Murfree Case
A W0man's Faithfulness Saved
the Day
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Copyright by American Press Asso-
ciation, 1911.
By CLANSSA MACKIE

The assistant district attorney
pushed back his chair with gesture
Of WEAKNESS. ''Is that all, Jackson p
he asked Of the clerk at his elbow.
"Here are the papers in the Murfree
case, Mr.. Chalmers" replied the man,
thrusting a sheaf of papers before
his superior. ''Mr. Lantry was work
ing on them when he was stricken,
and he made memoranda Of all the
most Important
every well; leave them on my desk,
and I will go over the matter this
evening""
When he was alone Chalmers arose
and paced the floor with quick, impa-
tient strides. His broad shoulders
hunched despondently and his genial
face was craven in lines Of care as
he went to and fro.
The day had been full Of disagree
able happenings. He had returned
that morning from long trip abroad
to find his chief stricken with apo
plexy on the eve Of a great legal
fight. The principal malefactor in this
case was a rich man, James White
Murfree, and it happened that Muir
free was the man who had run a race
with Chalmers for the hand and heart
Of Alice Leigh, and Murfree, with the
money, had won.
Suddenly the outer door Of his Office
swung open and closed. A tall man,
clad in richly furred overcoat, walk
ed swiftly to his desk and looked down
at him with the patronizing stare of
James White Murfree.
Chalmers motioned toward a chair
and challenged the others errand with
frank inquiry in his brown eyes.
Murfree's long, pale face did not
change color under the scrutiny. His
Morris tribune., 1911-10-06

cold gray eyes surveyed the younger
man with speculative interest.
"Know why I'm hereT asked Muir
free suddenly.
Chalmers nodded curtly. s'Not hard
to conjecture"
''No use tackling old Landry, even if
he had not crumpled up on the job
heard you were here and they sent me
around"
Nothing doing" remarked Chalmers
grimly.
"Now, see here, Chalmers" urged
the millionaire. This affairs likely
to go my way, anyhow, and it won't
need any pushing in either direction
for you to help me along. Just restrain
yourself from being so BANKED con-
scientious and"-
Chalmers held up hand. "No use,
Murfree. I'd rather it was somebody
else had the job, but If take it'll
do the square thing, you can bank on
that"
"It's matter Of cool million for
you," suggested Murfree, his sharp
eyes greedily noting the papers Chal-
mers was gathering together "Don't
be fool-it will make you rich man
for life"
Remember, Murfree, that it's no use
for you to strain your mental forces
trying to understand my motives for
keeping my hands clean in such mat
ters as yours. When you picked ME
out for bribery you got hold Of the
wrong man."
Murfree arose with a harsh laugh.
"1'll give you time to think it over,
Chalmers. Don't be fool. I'm COM
ing back at o'clock for your an
swer. If you agree, all you've got to
do is to lose that bunch of incriminat-
ing evidence-oh, I'll admit it is on
ne-where | can pick it up, and I'll
turn over government bonds for ten
hundred thousand. SO longv'
The door closed behind his swag-
gering form, and Chalmers sat down
with bent head, staring bitterly at the
papers ON his desk When Murfree's
punishment had been meted out, then
would another wrong against the peo
pie be avenged. Personally there was
small satisfaction in getting the best
of his successful rival.
Murfree had baited his hook well. A
million dollars was a tempting morsel
to dangle before the eyes Of man
who had, as Murfree had sneeringly

ed absolutely into the unknown.
Not long ago Captain Thomas S
Baldwin, the veteran balloonist anC
aviator, investigated the subject anC

gtnner in aviation smashes up $4,000
worth Of property before he can get q
certificate of competence, and one car
easily imagine the risk to life and limt
that is constantly run while these fedg
ling flights are being made In my own
case, when the mechanics let go of my
machine for my first fight, it looked
as though l were going to disprove
this statement, but it was not many
seconds thereafter before l showed
that, If anything, Captain Baldwin's S
estimate Of cost was altogether too
low.
My First Lesson In Flying.
My first lesson was taken from Ora
hame-White at Pau. His BleriOt was
equipped with an Anzani motor, for it
upon the market, and it was probably
fortunate for me that my machine did
not have the greater horsepower de-
veloped by the later type of engine.
learned as did most of the men who
have made success of the work The
controls were explained to me, and
made thorough study of the theory
on which the machine operates. |
knew what to do to make the mono
plane go up or down or steer to right
or left, and I knew how to warp the
wings to preserve my balance-that is.
/ knew them in theory, though | had,
of course, never tried them in practice
"Now," said Grahame- White, you
are to tax" q run along the ground
and see if you can steer the machine
The wheel is tied so that you cannot
go up into the air. and all You are to
do is to keep going straight and shut
off your engine when you come to the
end of thH field"
So my engine was started, and when
the propeller got going at fair speed
I gave the signal to the mechanics
who were holding the machine to let
go, and l felt myself dash forward
smoothly over the ground / believed
that all | had to do was to leave the
machine pretty well alone and it
would go in a straight line until /
stopped the engine, but in this I was
destined to meet with a great sur
prise, for instead of going straigh'
ahead found myself going around

landed as lightly as bird, feeling
that my first fight had indeed been a
triumph unmarried in any way and
entirely disproving the discouraging
things had heard about the diff.
culties Of learning to fly.
landed with the wind and going at
speed we'll up between fifty and six
ty miles an hour, and net twenty feet
from where l touched the ground was
high fence. Into this 1 crashed at
full speed l felt a sudden jar and
heard the loud noises of splintering
wood all about me-so loud indeed
that felt that the heavens were tum-
bling about my ears. Then I felt an
other jar as I fell to the earth, and
when had recovered my senses suf-
ficiently to examine the wreck l found
that there was not much left except
the seat and me- For the seat l had
no very high regard, but I was mighty
glad and grateful to find that l was
able to get up and walk about with
only a score or so Of sore spots dis
tributed over my body.
I must have been an awful sight to
behold. From the very beginning of
my fight, unaccustomed as l was to
hurtling at such a rate through the
air, the wind had lashed my eyes as
though with whipcords, and my eye
balls had become sore and inflamed
The oil from the engine had been
dashed back on to my face. and there
it had mingled in grimy brotherhood
with the water that streamed from
my eyes under the lashing Of the
wind.
It took me long while to get used
to this pain caused in the eyes by the
rushing air, and during the next few
weeks when l began flying with the
Gnome engine got a double dose Of
lubricating oil in my hair, all over my
face and down my neck.
I few with the first Gnome engine
ever put upon the market. It was
short time after l had taken my ini-
tial lessons from Grahame- White and
when l was in the school run by Bile
riot himself at Pau.
It was a vastly different matter to
start a fight with this new motor.
Instead of having an easy run along
the ground and lifting at speed Of
about thirty miles an hour, as had
done with Grahame-W Whites Anzani, 1
now found myself rushing along at
nearly fifty miles an hour almost as
soon as the mechanics let go of the
machine. Here my poor eyes got a
lashing which L shall never forget and
which daily nearly blinded me until |
became accustomed to flying at this
tremendous speed.
Morris tribune., 1911-10-06
I Go In For High Flying.

From the very first the one phase of
fascination for me was altitude climb
ing. No sooner had l tried my iedge-
ling wings than l looked lOngingly
into the upper air and wanted to climb
as far as my engine would carry me.
On the third day of my practice at
the Bleriot school with the Gnome mo-
tor | decided to take affairs into my
own hands, and, disregarding all the
advice that had been given me, head
ed the machine upward and climbed
close to a thousand feet, when sud
denly. one after the other, three of my
cylinders went bad. and l was forced
to coast down to the ground again 1t
was the result of some minor defect in
the new engine, and when it was re-
paired L took my equipment with me
to my place at Beaulieu, in England,
there to practice bit and then try
for my certificate, or aviatOr's license.
l became proficient in a remarkably
short time. When l felt that / could
pass inspection l had the officials Of
the English Aero club appoint day
when l should try for my certificate.
An official came up to wish me good
luck just before my mechanics started
the propeller, and l asked:
what is the English height record?"
"Paulhan has it," he replied 1T is
OFT feet"
"Well,' I said as turned away, 81
am going to try to beat that"
l started off in wide circles, and the
first two times passed over the heads
Of the officials saw one Of them wave
a red flag, the signal for a naval Off
Ger with sextant to take my height.
Higher and higher I went, but 1 was
surprised not to see the flag wave after
that, and came to earth again.
How much did I do? l asked the
navy officer
'"Ten hundred and forty feet" he re-
piled. You have broken the English
altitude record. and believe you went
twice as high as that, but unfortu-
nately the man who was to signal me
with the flag got mixed up somehow,
and / only took your height on your
first and second circles"
This love of altitude work has been
my constant passion ever since. Merely
to get into an aeroplane and fly no
longer has. any fascination for me.
want to climb. want to keep
going up until | am sure that am
higher than any maj has ever been
before in heavier than air machine,
and. though not long ago | almost de-
termined to give up aeroplane work,
now feel the desire growing stronger
upon me. and it would not surprise me
if tried for another record soon.
Eternal practice and unfailing pa
tience are necessary when the average
man takes to flying. Day after day he
must go out grass cutting" as they
say at Mineola when the novices roll !
along the ground or take only short, !
low jumps into the air. This is not |
exciting and it will seem to the would |
be pilot that he is making slow prog
ress, but, as matter of fact, he is
training his mind and his muscles to
work in unison and by instinct, and /
his faculty alone is worth all the
:rouble it takes to acquire it once it
$ called into play in a bad spot high
above the earth 1t may not be need
ed very often, but, like gun in Tex
rs, when it is needed it is needed
badly.

AAk he enters upon a career
" which is the most trouble
some and yet the most
fascinating that has ever been opened
up for human beings. He invades a
realm for which nature never intend
ed him. All of his instincts teach him
that to ascend high above the earth
is to court death and that to trust
himself to so flimsy and so breakable
a thing as an aeroplane is to go to the
utter extreme of recklessness and dar-
ing.
Ny admiration is unbounded for
those first men who actually rose off
of the ground in their crude heavier
than air machines and defed nature
with their new found toy. Each of US
who has followed has had to prove his
nerve and his skill, but we know when
we start to learn that the machines we
trust ourselves to are right, that they
will fly if properly handled and that
there is no very great secret about it
at all because it has been done before
