DAMAGING TESTIMONY BY

lone Chance in billionsla

That is the way DR.. Marshall D.
Ewell, typewriting expert, summed
up the possibility that the various
characteristics found in the typewrit-
ing in the documents written in the
office of Marion & Wood and used as
Standards" in this case, and those
in the letters supposed to have been
written by Elias Garcia acknowledge
ing that he was the father of little
Lillian Garcia, and introduced as ex-
hibits, might have been the products
of two different and distinct typewrit-
ers.
These documents" said DR.. Ew-
ell, holding the letters and standard
documents side by side, were, in my
opinion, written on the same type
writer.
"Why?" asked Mr.. Wilson.
Because there are marked SINH
larities in matters which are out Of
the ordinary run in typewriters. We
identity typewriting from d%ivergen-
cies from the ordinary run. If two
typewriters we're identical in their
work, it would Of course, be impos.
sible to distinguish. But there are
things in these documents that can
be seen by the naked eye. I refer to

Fire Situation in
Northern NclU Mexico IS
Most Serious for Years
Most Destructive Blaze For Years E~xtinguished
After II Hours Fighting Near Rociada;
Fire Threatens Town of Bland; All
Started by Human Agencies

The forest fire situation In north
ern New Mexico is becoming very
serious. This Is especially SO on the
Santa Fe National Forest.
The most destructive fire for a
number of years has just been ex.
tlnguIshed after 72 hours Of strenu-
Gus fighting by a crew Of 80 men.
This Information was received in a
telephone report from Supervisor
Don P. Johnston who left here early
yesterday morning, accompanied by
Ranger connelI to take charge Of the
fire fighting. A total Of 300 acres Of
western yellow pine timber was
burned over and the town Of casoon,
near Rociada, and a sawmill on the
Nordhaus timber sale were threaten
ed, but were finally saved after he
role work by the fire fighters en-
plcyed by the Forest Service.
Another fire only recently ex-
tinguished threatened the mining
camp of Bland, but was controlled by
all Of the inhabitants and employees
cooperating with the Forest Service,
thereby preventing what might have
proven a serious confagration, since
a heavy wind was carrying the burn
ing embers long distances.

place. These were the important
points brought out in behalf of the
defence.
The verdict in the Garcia case was
given July IL, 1913, according to
records introduced.
Carl G. Holland, formerly agent OF
the Underwood company at Albuquer-
que and since December, 1913, with
the same company at Ell Paso, pro-
duced record cards to show, first,
that the old machine in Marion and
Woods office was No. 1O3, 1853, sent
there January 81, 1918, and was
taken out of the lawyers office June
s., 1913, and that a second machine,
No. 205, AL, also Underwood, was sub
stituted in it's place.
Mr.. Wilson objected to the admis-
sion Of these record cards on the
ground that they had been made up
with the assistance from records in
the El \Paso office of the Underwood
company, but Judge Pope ruled that
he would accept them as %corrobora-
tive.

tinguished on the Santa Fe National
Forest. Since a total Of only 25 fires
burning over 113 acres occurred on
this forest during the year 1916, and
with the present season only start
ing, this year promises to be very de-
structive in regard to forest fires.
This is especially significant on ac-
count of the extreme dryness Of the
area below 5000 feet in elevation,
even though the higher regions are
covered with snow, due to the unus-
ual amount of wind during the past
month.
In comparing the causes Of the 172
fires discovered on the Santa Fe Ma
tional Forest since 1909, It was
found that "A per cent Of these fires
haye been caused by human agen-
cies and the other 26 per cent were
caused by lightning. All of the fires
this year have been due to human
agencies.
In an interview today the local
forest officials stated that it was only
by the hearty cooperation received
from the public that they could hope
to keep the annual fire loss to a mini
mum.
At the time of going to e the
Forest Service reports a large fire

Testifying in Marion and Wood Case

could positively state, beyond doubt,
that certain letters introduced in the
famous $4,000 inheritance case Of
Garcia VS.. Garcia, tried recently in
federal court, and two documents pre-
pared in the office of Marion and
Wood, were written on the same I'm

DR.. Ewell earlier in the day testi-
fled that it was his belief that these
documents we're written on the same
machine; he refused TO say that he
was sure beyond a reasonable
doubt" but he said that the chance
of a mistake, considering all the SINH
larities Of defects manifested by the
type of the machine, was one in bill

DR.. Ewell had already testified in
the Garcia case, appearing for Mrs.

The thousands and hundreds Of
thousands Of men and women who
write upon typewriters no doubt have
considered them as mere machines
to imprint characters, taking the
place of longhand writing. But, to
hear the questions and answers in
federal court where O. m. Marion
and Francis e. Wood, of the law firm
OF Marion & Wood, OF Albuquerque.
are now appearing to show cause
why they should not be disbarred,
one must come to the conclusion that
the typewriting machine is decidedly
animate, and prone to many Of the
ills to which the flesh is heir. This
was brought out in three hours Of
cross examination of DR.. Marshall d.

r, Wright of counsel for Marion and
Wood, yesterday afternoon. Such
hospital terms as "congenital de-

Wood Goes on Stand in
Sensational Case For
First Time

A sensation was sprung this morn
ing in federal court during the dis
barment proceedings against Messrs
0. NJ. Marion and Francis e. Wood
Of Albuquerque, when Witnesses for
the defense testified there were two
different Underwood typewriting ma
chimes in the offices Of the respond
ents the first half Of the year 1918.
One witness, Miss Elizabeth Norton
swore that to the best Of her knowl'
edge, she had written exhibits "Fs
and "Gr on different Underwood ma.
chimes. These exhibits were used as
standards In the proceedings, as a
basis for comparison with the four
letters introduced in the case Of Gar
cia VS.. Garcia, letters that we're ques-
toned by the court.
DIR. Marshall D. EWell, handwriting
expert from Chicago, declared on the
witness stand yesterday that the nu-
merous characteristics of defective
letters found In the two standard doc
uments written in Marion & Woods
office and the characteristics in the
same letters found In the four letters
supposedly written by Elias Garcia in
the middle west to Bessie speight, Of
Salt Lake City, we're so closely re-
lated that there was only M chance
In billions that the six documents
could have been written on different
machines.
This was the second day of the
hearing before U s. District Judge
William H. Pope and it opened with
an admission from DIR. Ewell on the
witness stand that he might hiEe

he so testified yesterday. He adj

Then Judge Wright confronted the
witness with what purported to have

the stenographic report showed the
witness had said the left hand por-
ton of the staff Of the *" had been

Charges Against Attorneys Vigorously
Denied by Counsel


Facing charges preferred by a co mmittee OF three New Mexico lawyers,
asking that they be dhbarred from practice in federal court Attorneys
Owen NJ Marion and Francis r. Wood, of the law firm Of Marron& Wood
of Albuquerque, appeared in federal court this morning before u. Is. District
Judge William II. Pope and listened with manifest interest to the testimony
OF Dr. Marshall q. EweL, a handwriting expert Of Chicago, tending to show
that there was astounding similarity between the tynewriing of documents
written in their office in Albuquerque and certain letters alleged TO have
been typed by one Elias Garcia while he was travelling in the middle west
The charge of forging certain documents to deceive the court in a noted
lawsuit involving some $4,000 worth of property is the fourth in the list pre-

hibits and called out the number OIL
the line in which he found this pc
culiarity in the writing Of the two
letters, re a." In all the words he
cited, he said, one found the "a
somewhat lower than the letter 'e."
These were the words in which he
found this to occur: deceased
"each," thereafter" "heard," hear
ing and seal"
Then, turning to other Characters
tics, he found the small letter ~
leaning from the left of the vertical
in all of the documents; the small
letter I'd" also leans to the left, he
said, in every single instance in all
of the documents. Other letters
which did not stand up erect were
a." 'Ty and "t'-leaning to the left,
while 'rp was leaning to the right.
The m lower case, was deformed
in all of the documents, and the de-
formity was strikingly similar, he
pointed out. The bottom marks were
dulled, he observed. But still more
striking, in his opinion, was the SINH
larity of the wv lower case. The top
was knocked off and the right upper
part was curved to the left. This de-
formity or anomaly was the only one
of its kind he has ever observed in
his are al a handwriting expert,
he declared.
Nov, then, all these items lead me
to believe that the documents were
written IN the same machine" con
tinued the witness. "The data must
be largely conjectural. / have never
cen a w like this one. ] never saw
a curve at its top like that. The prob
ability that it would occur in two ma
chimes is not one in a million, in my
opinion.
The probability against these all
occurring in separate documents is
enormous. / should say 1t would run
up into the billions-one chance in a
billion"
Asked point blank whether he knew
what kind Of a machine the docu-
ments were written on. the witness
replied that he had not made a care
full examination as to that question.
Asked what he thought the machine
was. the witness was about to reply,
when Judge Wright objected. Judge
Pope, however, ruled that a further
questioning to indicate the qualifca-
ton of the witness to venture an
opinion. would be permissible. After
some discussion, DR.. Ewell said he
thought the documents were all writ
ten on an Underwood typewriter.
A recess was taken at noon until 2
this afternoon.
DR.. Ewell was closely c~ross-exam-
ined by Attorney Wright for the de-
tense as to his experience and quail
fications. He said he had testified
as an expert in the Mcdonald will
case in 1891, in the Yerkes estate
case in Chicago in 1910, and in the
case of Garcia VS.. Garcia in this city.
He adhered to his original statement
about the typewriter used in the Gar
cia case exhibits. :

CHAMPIONS DEFEAT
 HARVARD PAIR AND
 WIN MEADOW CUP
Johnston and Griffin Win Match of Four Furiously
 Contested Sets

Southampton, N Y, August 26.--Wil- liam M. Johnston and Clarence J. Grif- fin. the California holders of the na- tional doubles championship. won the Meadow club tennis tournament dou- bles here today after four furiously contested sets filled with spectacular driving and smashing. They defeated R. Norris Williams II and Richard Harte, the Harvard pair, 7-9, GA, GA, 6-3.
 In the first set Johnston was off form. His short game at the net pro- duced no> results and he rarely got ball across. Griffin worked away gall lantly. his stingers to Williams hold ing the tally of games even to 7tall The smashing of Harte as he leaped into air to pull down drives and mas- ter the opposing side finally broke through Griffin's service for the set, 9-7
 Williams was taking long chances with his injured ankle and in the sec- ond game of the second set he fell That caused him to be more cautious, especially as Johnston was finding his stroke and getting into the rallies to win points by cross -courting the ball or speeding drives to deep court. The best the Harvard pair could do was to hold the game to S-all in the sec ond set. Then Griffin and Johnston began to drive through them.
 The champions were much superior in the third and fourth sets. Williams again fell and after that he let Harte do the heavy smashing and the live- ly footing in the rallies It was showy, brilliant tennis with the Californians always finding the openings, batter ing down Williams weak backhand or tricking Harte out of position for the points until they had won.

Ready Wit Rewarded

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegreph
 In the reign of Francis I of France quickness of wit was often more prompt ly rewarded than actual merit The monk Reginer Mainus did not lack merit, but he owed his first advancement never theless, to a clever retort.
 Francis, who was very fond of the game of tennis, was playing one day with Mai- nus The monk finally ended the hard- fought game with brilliant stroke.
 The king was somewhat out of humor or account of his defeat.
 "Remarkable!" he exclaimed, sarcasti- cally, ito think that such a stroke should be made by a mere monk!''
 But, sire" replied the monk, who was as quick with his wits as he was with his racquet, "it is your majestys own fault that the stroke was not made by an abbott
 A week later Mainus received his ap- pointment as Abbot of Beaulieu.

An Easy Choice
From the Denver Post.

From the Denver Post.
 Bishop Sanford Olmsted said at a din ner party:
 ''The charge that the church is gov erened by mercenary motives is an insid- ious one. I think this charge was best answered by the prison chaplain.
 "A chaplain was addressing a congre- gation of prisoners. many of whom had given more than one proof that they were profiting by his visits. But there was a certain rough, brutal-looking fellow who always scoffed and sneered. And today this fellow, when the chaplain greeted him. said:
 No, I don't want to shake hands with you, parson. You only preach for money
 Very good, my friend; have it SOL the chaplain answered. I preach for money. You steal for money. Let God choose between us.' ''

The Rifle Range


 To describe the location of their shots, riflemen speak of the target as if it were clock face. Thus a shot in the inner to the right of the bull, at the height of it's center and half way between the limit ing circles, is a B o'clock three. half way out" A hit Just below the bulls eye is ''six o'clock four, hanging on the bull.' Similarly, mine o'clock four, case in" will mediate shot little to the left of the black. One in the center of the bull's-eye is a "pinwheel" A spot ter touching the bull is wait and one just inside it 'nipper."
 The direction of the wind is also re- ferred to the clock. "A six o'clock wind" blows from the firing point toward the target, three o'clock wind" directly from the right, mine o'clock wind from the left and twelve o'clock wind" directly from the target.
 When the wind shifts between s and ' o'clock or between Il and it is said to be "fishtailing," or "fshtail wind" and it makes good shooting difficult; so also frequent changes of light make things hard. the rifleman's wish being for "a s o'clock wind and gray sky"
