HILL To TAKE

DENY GRAFT
CHARGES
Testimony of Joe Wise and
Hyde Torn to Shreds by
Defense; Accused Man to
Reflute Charges.

Counsel for &. f. Hill, accused Of
soliciting and receiving brides while
chief of police of Ell Centric, an
nOunced this noon that Mr.. Hill
would take the stand this afternoon
and refute the charges brought
against him.
A hint Of sensation was breathed
this noon when it was intimated that
the accused chief has perfect
alibi which he will present this after
noon which will prove large portion
of the testimony Of his former deputy,
Hyde, false. This is expected to be
one of the big points Of the defense.
Again it was intimated that former
uncilman, VIM. Egerer, would take
the stand to relate conversation
he had with Hyde just before Hyde
left the city in which Hyde is alleged
to have said that he had nothing ION"
the chief.
PROSECUTION CLOSES
The prosecution closed its case
early in the afternoon. The defense
will be very short, it was said, in view
of the fact that so many Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution have been
tangled up in their stories.
This morning was taken up prin-
cipally in the cross examination of
Joe Wise who took the stand late
yesterday afternoon and testified
that he had paid $50 weekly to the
former chief for a number Of weeks.
This morning his story was shaken,
although not to the extent that the
stories of some of the others were
shaken.
OTHERS TESTIFY
Mrs. Anita Calhoun took the
stand and testified as to the famous
raids. All this raid testimony was
allowed over the repeated objections
of Attorney O. V. Wilson for the
defense.
Attorneys Scott and Simon for the
prosecution in turn took charge Of
the questioning this morning.
Following Mrs. Calhoun, former
Recorder R. B. Whitelaw again took
the stand to identify pages from
the city recorders docket.
Following him Sheriff Applestill
took the stand to testify in regard to
the raids.
If the case is not closed late this
afternoon, it is expected that the ar
guments will be concluded by noon
tomorrow.
Sitting crouched in the witness chair
with his left hand over the left side
of his face and fingers extended 80
that his left eye looked between the
extended fingers, former Deputy n.

Fall; Patrol from Rock

Members Of the 91st Squadron,
stationed at Puryear Field, will
leave within a few days for Rock
well Field, San Diego, where the
border patrol will be continued dur
ing the summer months, according
to orders received yesterday by
Capt. Lowell H. Smith.
A. squad of perhaps nine or ten mer
will be left in this city to take care
Of Puryear Field during the summer
months but the remainder of the de-
tachment here, including aviators anc
machines will be stationed at Rock
we'll Field for the summer.
Next fall the squadron will be re.
turned to this city.
In all probability Capt. Smith will
be returned here next fall and the
other members Of the local field de
tachment are hoping that they will be-
returned also.
The date Of departure for Rockwell
Field is uncertain but it is believed
that it will be before June l.. For this
reason it is doubtful if the aviators
will be able to take part in the Me
mortal Day ceremonies. although they
are hoping that the date Of departure
will be deferred for few days so that
they can take the part they had
planned.
Capt. Smith, because of the near,
ness of the departure. does not be-
lieve that he will be able to attempt q
new altitude record for a pilot anC
three passengers before he leaves. He
promises the city some formation fly
