DEFENSE CLOSES. IN CHECK CASE; MAY END TODAY
Hearing Draws Near End As Defense Completes Testimony - Attorney Tells Of Deed

After testimony of two physicians who had examined the body of Thomas J. Check after the autopsy had been completed, the defense yesterday after noon closed It's case in the preliminary hearing of Victor and Belle Check on a charge Of murder. The chief witness Of the day was Judge l. ". Lewis of Che firm of Armstrong, Lewis G- Kra- nlcr, attorneys, who told of the war Nanty deed he drew up for the Checks on Sept. q. This morning the state will put on Q few rebuttal witnesses and the arguments will begin. 1t is expected that the case will be com pleted by this afternoon.
 Judge Lewis, who testified at the afternoon session, said that Thomas J. Check, Victor Check and Belle Check came to his office on Sept q and asked him 10 draw up some papers for them. He then identified a warranty deed as the document he drew up for the Checks on that day. He said the Checks had been sent to his office by tho National Bank of Arizona and one oc the three explained their purpose. He said he did not remember which orc 1t was, but he thought it was Vic tor Check who explained their mission.
 They wanted to transfer some prop ty in Florida, Judge Lewis said, from the father to the son by way of gift.

not have any effect on embolism or hardening of the arteries,
 pr. R. W. Craig said he examined the body Of Thomas J. Check and found only a slight discoloration at the angle of the left eye and some abrasions, on the backs of the hands. He said he saw no other contusions on the body of the man. Embollsm, he said, was the cause of death. Embolism, he said Is more often found in people who are good feeders, high livers and hard drinkers, and in people who have had things easy all their lives. It usually occurs in old age, he said. Embolism, he said, causes sudden death in most cases.
 Skipping, pushing. pulling and jerk ing, he said, would undoubtedly have an effect on tuberculosis, but he did not believe that such treatment would loosen a blood clot if it were adhered to the walls of an artery or the heart. Rough treatment, he said, would not affect hardening of the arteries or eun- bolism.
 Mrs. Wolf Recalled
 Mrs. Minnie Wolf was recalled to the stand yesterday morning by L. M. La ney, county attorney and questioned about an alleged statement she made during a conversation with a neighbor woman. Mrs. Wolf denied she had said anything to the neighbor about the old man being left alone in a stricken con dition in front of her home. She denied she had ever made the remark that she hoped when she died she would not be treated in such a manner.
 Mrs. Rose NJ. Donahue said she was with the Checks quite often and they were at her home several times. Sae said she never saw any unl1ind treat ment by them of the old man and al- ways thought Mrs. Check kept the old man very neat and clean. She told of several trips she had made with the Checks in their car and said no effort had ever been made by the Checks to keep her from being alone with the old
 man or talking to him.
 Mrs. Donahue said she was at the Check apartment on the Sunday fol- i lowing the death of MT. Check from early afternoon until about 9:30 o'cldck, assisting Mrs. Check in packing for
 their trip east. She said she heard no singing or laughing in the Check apart ment that evening. Mrs. Donahue said during the time she knew the Checks she never saw them handle the elder Check roughly Both Victor arAl Belle Check, she said. talked in a loud tone, and Victor Check swore now and then 1 in his conversation, but not at anybody 1 in particular. Swearing, she said, seemed 10 be habitual with him.
 Earl Nelson, a carpenter, said he worked at the Tell apartnsnts from l October 10 until about November s, and never heard any beating going on i in the Check apartment while he was 1 there. He said he heard quite a bit of 1 Iquarrellng between a man and a woman l and he learned later that they were i Victor and Belle Check. He never heard them quarreling with the old man, he said, and never heard any screams of pain coming from their apartment
 i The case will be continued this morn i ing at 9:30 o'clock.
