That settled what doubt hung heavy on his mind, and the party rolled on merrily. Alas! The Poor Devil! But I seem to have gotten ahead of my story, Chief, and must retrograde back a ways. Shortly after our unex- pected party clammered a board the car, we struck out due north on Gen. tral ave. from our magnificent depot and logged left on Wash. bol. toward the capitol. You know how it is, Chief, when strange men get together it is somebody's que to say something to relieve the tensions and disarm all fears, and it was quite natural that our Prey with their vast experience and learning in a big city should be the first to meet the crisis, and so one Of them innocently remarked out loud, My, this breeze is wonderful after standing around on the hot streets, isn't ?"

 Stopping at the capitol, we told our guests something that never before was confided to a tourist, and that was how the contractor who built the place re- turned money to the state on the con tract price. This optimistic spirit sat urated the party all through the trip and it was a case of give and take throughout the day.
 After meeting the governor, one Of the Prey says, How does it come that your governor is republican, thought Arizona was nominaly demo- cratic?"
 "Oh," I exclaimed. hastefully step ping on Joe Irvine's corn, let's go around and see the cactus garden.'
 From the capitol our car threaded it's way like clockwork through the so- called syk stocking dist. to the north of the village, and one of the Prey says, My. what a beautiful residence dis trict.'

REST CASE AGAINST WOMAN WHO KILLED
 SOLDIER HUSBAND
Republican A. P. Leased wIrsl


 DEMING, N. M. May e.-The state Maud Doster. on trial for the murder of Capt. Wade Doster, Y. s. A., who was shot and killed at Columbus, N M- last March. Among the witnesses for the state were the father of the deceased, former Supreme Court Jus tice Frank Doster of Kansas, and his son, John Doster. of Pasadena. Cal. There were no eye witnesses of the tragedy, which occurred in the room occupied by the couple in a Columbus hotel. Witnesses described the find ing of the captains body before dressing case where he had fallen, and told of finding Mrs. Doster unconscious on the bed with a bullet through her breast and a revolver beside her.
 Among the exhibits was a letter found in Mrs. Doster's handbag, and which was made public for the first time today. It read:
 .'I am sorry to do this. but Wade has wrecked by life for good and forever cannot stand this horrible life any longer. I was a good and true woman to Wade. Some people may blame me but I am sure if they knew the inside part they would not blame me in the least. I have something like $500 on my person and a $100 liberty bond in the bank. It's in the name of Mrs. Maud Doster, plenty to pay all funeral expenses for myself. I want to be buried by Wades side. I have been tortured so much hell couldn't be any worse I hope all my friends will for give and forget. I am mentally un balanced and have been for some time. Wade has mistreated me very much in way. How he could do it is more than I can understand"
 The burden of the prosecutions eff forts as developed by today's testimony is to show deliberate murder on the part of the defendant.
