Judge Downs and Attorney Klein counsel for the defense, and States Attorney Cummings were summoned to the courtroom.
 The crowd of spectators who had 1oitered about the corridors piled into the courtroom. Then it was learned that the jury had asked for the news paper in which the blood-stained cloth had been wrapped On objection of counsel for the de- fense. the request of the jury was de- nied. The spectators filed out of court and again took up their vigil in the corridors.
 As the bell in the courthouse towed boomed the hour of five. there came another sharp rap on the 5uryroonn the door q fraction of an inch and had a whispered conversation. Then he sped to the Judges office.

 Her father seemed to be trying to read the verdict in the. faces of the jurors as they hIed into the box Clerk 1 E E. Morgan tolled off the list of ju- TOTS; each one rising and remaining standing as he answered his name.
 Gentlemen, of the jury have you irkached a verdict 2,' he asked. We have they chorused almost before he had finished.

 The stiffness adeath fell upon the eourToom Mrs. Angle, supported by I her father, rose to her feet, her gaze fixed upon the jury in a, blind, un- Iseeing stare

SHOWS PROTECTING ARIZONA FORESTS
 VANISHED IN JUNE
Total Rainfall for Month Less Than Fifth of Inch and Fires Have Kept Forest Rangers Busy.

In spite of exceptionally heavy win. ter snows, the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico have dried up during June at a remarkable rate Reports of precipitation at the wealth CT station at Santa Fe show the dri- est June in twenty-five years. the to- tai rainfall having been less than one fifth of an inch.
 Forest fires have been springing up in considerable numbers and are keep ing forest rangers busy as beavers. Reports received by the district for ester at Albuquerque show 112 fires to date Most of them have been ex- tinguished before they have had a chance to spread and become formi- dable. One fire on the Coronado for est in Arizona, however. got away in spite of the efforts of forest officers and burned over 2OOO acres before it could be controlled Fortunately the area was not heavily timbered.
 To prevent fires if possible and to nip the unpreventable ones in the bud. is the keynote and aim of modern dre-hghting organizations, and the guiding principles of hredghting plans on the national forests.
 Each year the forest service is drawing closer the net of telephone lines, trails, lookout towers, and tool caches which it is hoped will ulti- mately control the fire menace in our public timberlands
 An example of system and science versus Responsibility and negligence in the matter of forest fires is fur. nished just across the Mexican border where a great fire has for weeks been eating the timber off of the San Jose mountains In so far as is known, Mexican public officials have made n1 effort to check or extinguish it. Clouds of smoke by day and the glow of advancing flames by night have been plainly visible from Naco and other border towns. It is said that more than million feet of timber has been destroyed This is the same say ing that a hundred potential homes have gone up in smoke and that gov ernment forestry is a necessary form of national insurance

 Perhaps your kidneys are "in a bad way"
