Although several witnesses for the defense were examined in Superior Court yesterday, nothing developed to give an inkling of the defense to be put in by Carrier Thompson ac- cused of having forged the signature of William E. Debus to bogus will. The prosecution closed its case at I D. m yesterday without having intro duccd any testimony or exhibits 10 attempt to prove the alleged intent of the defendant to poison the aged paralytic patient whose name he signed to the will.
 Possibly the most dramatic no mcnt of the trial 10 date, was the in troduction of littlc, bent, yelled woman oil the stand as Mrs Ada Peet by the prosecution. Before she could be sworn, the defense sought and secured the dismissal of the jury in order 10 enter motion and raise an objection Judge Sweeney sent the jury away while J. II. Morgan, of counsel for the defense, admitted, or rather stated, that the woman sought to be examined, and called Mrs Pcet by the prosecution, was, in fact, the legal wife of the defend ant, who objected 10 her testifying. The prosecution replied that it could probably be proved that the lady was and was not Mrs. Thompson. One of the admitted exhibits was d mar riage certificate showing that one Hiram" Thompson had been mar ried to one Ada Haynes" at Flag staff oil March 5, 1919. Some no. very definite arguments and counter arguments were made. and the court ruled that the prosecution might in- terrogate the witness.

 My business is making rain. I can cause rainfall in the desired from one-half inch upwards, controlling the fall as surely as you con control anything"
 The secretary, Mir. Fraser, assured Mir. Xfrott that Tucson is always glad to hear Of anything promising to bring about a wet condition of af- fairs, but protested his ignorance as to the best way to hook up" the rainmaker with a contract. After talking it over, Mir. Xfrott was sent to the office of Prof. c. E. P. Smith, irrigation department, University O.. Arizona.
 The mysterious caller said he was from Denver. He was dressed in ovcralls, and looked peaked When asked why he was not millionaire, with such occult power, he protested any desire for wealth, with true na- tive modesty.

ton prevented him telling the jury whether he had done so or not.
 Asked if ne knew the reputation of the defendant for the various virtues in the community, MT. Trippel was halted before answering. It was the stand of Mr. Clark that the Home did not constitute a community, and when counsel for the other side agreed to take their legal reputatoins on their belief that it was, the oB- jection was withdrawn. During some voir dire questions preceding the answer, the Tong period" during which the witness had known the de- fendant closely dwindled to two days over two months. At any rate, the answer was affirmative, and to the next query, that the reputation was excellent.
 Mrs. Trippel testified along the same lines. Again, the court faced the possibility of having to construe state institution as a community" This was avoided, however, and Mrs. Trippel gave Thompson a good send off. On cross-examination, Mir. Clark asked question about Mrs. Pee;, which was instantly objected to. He sustained his point by showing that Mrs. Trippel had herself mentioned the four women patients, one Of whom was this Mrs. Peet.
 Behold the Blankets!
 When Captain Frank s. Ingalls, was called, there was a decided turn in the testimony. Mir. Ingalls,, who had been head of the Home for but a snort period, was unable to state on oath that Thompson enjoyed a good name. The defense spied the roll of blankets, mentioned but not exhibited in the case, and unrolled them before the jury. The witness was asked if he had not consigned some blankets belonging to an inmate named Welch to Thompson's care. The witness mad, but couldn't say these were the blankets.
 On cross-examination, the state joyously adverted to the blankets Mr. Ingalls, said he had never told Thompson to burn them, as Thomp- son had told other witnesses. More over, Welch had written him, asking where those blankets were, and ne had replied, telling him, and saying he had never told Thompson to de- stroy them.
 The case was continued until 9:3O this morning.

APPLEBY FLIES FROM PHOENIX
 F MINUTES
By Percy Mines

NJ. Sparkes landed at the door c the Mines home here after an air plane trip from Prescott with Lieut.
 Baker
 There was no one at home, so sit raided the ice chest, drank a bottle of grape juice, devoured four canta loupes and ate plate of raw meat in tended for the Saturday meal of tho Spitz dog Billy" and after looking into the good roads situation, affec; ing Yavapai county, will journey home tomorrow by automobile.
 P. S.-Grace sneaked off withou; telling anybody about it. Serves her right, having to drink grape juice.
 One hundred and twenty miles to Prescott in 72 minutes is the record accomplisher by an army airplanc yesterday, flown from Phoenix by Captain L. E. Appleby and Lleuten- ant J. H. Baker. Moreover, the trip was made with ease and finished in the same manner.
 Warned by wire to expect the plane, President Veile and Secretary Grace Sparkes of the Chamber of Commerce and Colonel Bliss, com manding Fort Whipple, headed a small detachment of welcomers at the target range yesterday noon. The wire said to expect the fliers between II a, m. and noon, but it was ex- actly 12:05 when the ship finished circling tne open glade and made a 100 per cent landing, nose up to tine wind and aimed at the heart of the big white cross that marks the cen ter of the field.
 A delay in getting started was nearly made up by fast run, though Appleby claimed this is a "slow ship" Whatever its lack of speed, the plane doesn't bow to many for decorations. o ntop of its CD coar, it carries a large white deaths head, with the appropriate crossed shank bones, and on the rear part of the fuselage and on the vertical rudder, are painted some highly gaudy pits of scenery.
 To Photo and Recruit
 The mission of the fliers was to photograph Wnipplc Barracks from the sky, and to inaugurate cam paign for recruits for the United States Air Service. In Phoenix is detachment of officers and men, with three planes, in which they are mak ing systematic visits to various parts of the state in an effort to dig up for the permanent airplane division of the service. Appleby, who was an infantry officer, transferred 10 the flying service, is in charge of the party. He said yesterday that thc chances might be good to have the entire detachment with all their ships in Prescott for July 4.
 It was Col. Bliss wish to have Whipplc snap-shotted from the clouds. Captain Appleby brought along a graflex, and although not photo expert, made several expos ures. At the request of Miss Sparkes he shot up the town also on his re- turn flight, which began early in the evening
