LEPROSY CASE WAS
 FOUND AT JEROME
From Friday's Daily)

Leprosy has been discovered in Jerome, the unfortunate victim being Alfonso Camarga, who has been a resident of that city for about a year and half, coming to that city from Ajo, Ariz. >Jerome's city physician Dr. Riley Shrum, after an observa- ton period covering several weeks diagnosed Camarga's disease as lep- rosy.
 Keeping the matter from becom- ing public, the city physician brought his patient to Prescott and under the supervision of the county med ical association, careful tests were made. The previous diagnosis was confirmed, and the case referred to Dr. George E. Goodrich, state health officer. The United States authori- ties have been asked to take charge of Camarga.
 It is known that Camarga's two brothers lived in the same house with the afflicted man. These have left the camp, and all efforts to trace their whereabouts have to date proved unsuccessful It is not believed that there need be any alarm over the spread of the disease as only by per sonal contact is contagion made possible.

Hundred Families to Be Aided Over Border; Relief Work in Dull Mining Season by Salva- ton Army
(From Fridays pailx1

A. T. Pecina, Mexican consul To- cated at Phoenix, is perfecting ar engagements whereby about 100 Mex ican families will be sent from Je- rome to old Mexico next week. Adjutant R. Askew of the Salvation army organization, who is stationed at Jerome, is assisting in the selec- ton and finding Of those families who are to be returned.
 With the condition that those re- turned be citizens of Mexico, the government of Mexico is furnishing free transportation to all of its citi- zens in Arizona who will go back to their own country. Those de- parting for their native land, can choose to which part of that coun- try they wish to go. They will enter Mexico through Douglas or Nogales. From the Salt River valley, and the Globe-Miami district several thou sand have already been returned across the line.
 According to Adjutant Askew, of the Salvation Army, the necessity for immediate relief in the mining city is becoming less. The United Verde Extension has employed some of the heads of families who were on the relief lists, while others have been enabled to leave the district, and have found employment else where.

HOPKINS TELLS OF
 WEES POSSESSIONS
(From Wednesdays DaIlyl

Clarence Victor Hopkins, the hus- band of the defendant, took the stand He is now living in Los An geles, he testified. There are three children of the couple, Dorothy, 16; Robert, IA, and Clarence V. Hop kins, IT,, about 8 years of age.
 Judge Ellis, after referring to his statement that the line of defense would be emotional insanity, asked the witness to review his married life down to the present time. This was objected to by the prosecution as being impossible to make of rec ord in any coherent and legal style, and as being too general to answer with reference to the specific issue in hand The court sustained the objection.
 Asked then if he had noted any thing that indicated peculiarly on the part of Mrs. Hopkins during early married life, the witness said that there was undue concern as to his actions.
 Query: Have you ever noticed any which would lead you to be- lieve Mrs. Hopkins insane?"
 Answer: "Yes, delusions regard ing other women"
 The witness was then asked to give some incidents illustrative of these manifestations. Referring to notes which he held in his hand, the witness said when he and his wife had arranged to visit in Portland, Ore, an organist of church choir of which he had once been mem Der, the invitation being extended by the parents of the young lady, Mrs.

NJ P|KERS AMONG N|HITWASHERS;' LONG FENCE |S DECORATED WITH.
 WHITE COAT AND ENTHUSIASM.
"I'l say them babies worked"

"lll say them babies worked" Despite the elements and few "sickly grins" that bunch of white washers" proved themselves no pikers. It was a big job, but it wasn't bigger than the men who put 1t across. Not much time was lost from the time the gong sounded this morning until quitting time last night. By official record only 20 minutes was taken out for lunch and incidentally it was some lunch. Bar becued meat, Drowned to a TT" by Taylor and served in proper style took care of the inner man. The meat was supplied by the four local butcher shops, E. P. Sander, R. Neiderer, Roy Young and Henry Hartin. Piping hot java from the Owl, together with fresh bread made up for the kind that mother used to bake. Cigarettes and cigars were served to the sons of toll by the Fair association.
 The best of spirit prevailed, in the literal sense of the word. The idea that, C. E. Yount gave birth to has been carried out and today the Northern Arizona State Fair grounds have taken on a new appearance. The men behind this movement Foster, Pickerill, Cornell, Green wood and engineered by Christine Totten, of the Out West manage ment-deserve no small praise for their efforts. Every man who con- tributed in any way can take pride in that fence and the appearance of the grounds. The community spirit back of this proposition is worth its weight in gold.
 Pumps, sprays, brushes, trucks, lime mixers all blended together to make this event a success. At the mess call, Totten called the roll and a check has been made against each man who signed the agreement to be oE the job or pay for substitute ii he were not present personally.
 Seriously, this is one of the big gest pieces of community work ever attempted and actually put across in the northern section of Arizona.
 Let the roses fall where they may, the Journal-Miner joins with the Yavapai county chamber of com merce and the Northern Arizona State Fair association in commend ing and complimenting those who made white-wash day success.
 Loaned through the courtesy of C. T. Joslin of the Arizona Mining Supply company, a machine taken from stock, operated by w. w. Pick erill and Bob Cornell sprayed white wash on both sides of the fair ground fence completing its share of the cir cult in, six hours and half.
 The spray forced from the nozzle penetrated the grain of the wood and made finished job. It would have required at least 40 men to have slapped on the white-wash over the, same space of boards.
 The hardest job that Pickerill had was to keep the existence of his ma chine a secret. Monday a reporter located it, and with uncanny instinct penetrated its mission, and sought out Mfr. Pickerill for an interview. By making most earnest speech, the reporter was convinced that too early a mention might discourage some of the sons of toll who had volunteered to be present and boss the job, while mixing the white-wash, besides spelling a first-class barbe- cue. But say, the machine sure did the work!

NEWSPAPERMAN IS DEFENSE WITNESS

H. J. Minhinnick of the Verde Copper News was the first defense witness. He recounted having known Mrs. Hopkins and told of a confer ence she had with him in which she admitted having attacked the wrong woman" and her intention of "get- ting" Miss Gallagher. Minhinnick fixed the date of this occurrence by reference to guild dinner held in Jerome February 9, the day after his talk with the defendant
Weekly journal-miner., 1921-05-25

Great numbers of long and com .plicated terms were banded between Dr. McNally and Special Prosecutor McMurchie in the course of the short but searching cross-questioning. Mo Murchie had obviously fortified the states case against the insanity de- fense. He was able to discuss men tai diseases in several phases and technical language with whatever medical experts the defense might summon. More than once during the cross-examination it was obvious ly the prosecutions aim to trip Dr.. McNally over assertions he had made relative to the condition of the wo- man.
 After some comment or another on the exterior manifestations of the alleged disease, McMurchie would ask: "Is that not also symptom of uresthenia?" or "You call her disease paranoia. In fact is not that symptom of paresis?" In this way, court, jury and the jammed specta- tors were informed, possibly for the first time, that there were forms of insanity and certain identity marks for each form, and that the science of mental disease-diagnosis was a rather involved and mystifying one. At times, also, the barrage of ques- tions and answers and comments reached the proportions of drum-fire and there were sarcastic and mirthful

She noted a change in her friend and shared the doctors opinion as to her sanity. The idea of persecution was described. Her talk was incoherent on at least one occasion. The day before the acid throwing Mrs. Hopkins came to Mrs. McNally at table in Jerome cafe and insisted her husband was insane. She charged Dr. L. P. Kaull, then chief surgeon at the United Verde hospital, with having bungled an operation on her. "I'm in an awful fix; nobody will help mel" Mrs McNally said she was told. The de- fendant also intimated that Hopkins and Miss Gallagher "were mixed up, the witness said.
 On representation, Mrs. Me Nally said she had first felt her |, friend unbalanced a couple of years ago. That was after she had dis. possessed a tenant with horsewhip Cheaper than hiring a lawyer?" Nc Murchie asked smilingly, and with a' ready an answering smile, the witnes: concurred: "She was off on relig ion," Mrs. McNally continued. "Sh' believed the Masons were also perse cutting her"

they had not considered Mrs. Hop kins' charges of moral unfitness ser iously enough to cause them to drop the two women from the teaching staffs. Only the Washington incl dent had been recited to them, they said, and they investigated it.
 United Verde History
 Sketchy details of the management of the United Verde were provided by Hopkins in connection with the persecution. MT. Tally, it was true, had climbed over him" to the posi- ton of assistant general manager, but he had never aspired to that job. What he wanted was promotion from chief engineer to mine superintend- ent, the latter position vacated by Tally upon becoming assistant gen. eral manager. After Tally had been made resident chief of the company's affairs, Hopkins continued to work for the United Verde for four or five years. The wife, however, according to the witness, always felt that MT. Tally had held Hopkins back, hence, he explained, her resentment.
 Morning Details
 Court resumed its inquiry at the regular hour Dr. w. H. Olds of Los Angeles was on the stand. Frank w. Smith, who had been in charge of a taxi service in Jerome and knew the defendant, testified as to her expressed fear of being de- prived of her children.

DEFENSE AGAINST
 INSANITY DEFENSE

Cross-examination by the state re- vealed the purpose of combating the insanity defense Mrs. Hopkins, in the view of the state, is and was possibly suffering from temper, jeal- ousy or the like. If she was para noiac, the state felt, she would be af- flicted with "systematized delusions, wherein certain well-defined obses- sions would control her. The fact that Mrs. Hopkins shifted her ami mostly from Mrs. Baehr to Miss Gallagher, was pointed out by mean; of cross-examination.
 The story of the alleged acts ot the defendant upon which is based the hypothesis of dementia, was mos involved. Most of it was drawn iron MT. Hopkins and developed ill ever greater detail in cross-examination It covered the alleged relations o the defendant with a fortune teller her belief that her husbands position with the United Verde was leopard ized by MT. Tally, the assistant gen era1 manager, tte fear of the defend ant that ne was unbalanced and hel ins:stence on his taking a vacation after five-year work on the mine and shelter projects during whicf he had taken no vacation. Her no tions of propriety were described by the witness as most rigid and toe tightly drawn to be lived up to by any mere human being. Ideal" wa: the term he used 70 describe hel standards. She Insisted on taking control of the family property ant managing it.
 At one time, the defense sought tc introduce a volume of Harold Bel Wright in which it was alleged the defendant had underscored passages that would tend to reveal her menta state. But this was denied by the court at the objection of the state based on the remoteness of the evi' dence and its lack of foundation.
 Dr. w. H. Olds of Los Angeles the final witness of the day, recount ed his belief in her insanity based or observations made during treatment of the defendant.

Sensational Prediction

Resumption of interrogations by Judge Ellis was followed swiftly by demand for "prognosis." Dr. Schwartz began with sort of state ment of alleged previous acts of Mrs. Hopkins and was halted by McMur- chic, who asked him not to argue but to give a prognosis. He agreed and said it was his conviction that:
 Mrs. Hopkins will commit an other crime, probably directed against MT. Tally or another in the ring headed by. him in her imagina- ton. It is either another crime or the asylum for her. In case of the latter, the former will not occur; the former if the latter does not occur"
 Rebuttal Testimony
 Mrs. Hopkins stated her objections to Mrs. Baehr and Miss Hopkins as public school teachers, Trustees Moore and Wingfield testified in re- buttaL. The defendant had informed both trustees that she considered the women unfit" morally to teach, but had not insisted upon any action, nor had she proclaimed any program on her own part. Both men felt firmly convinced Mrs. Hopkins was per fectly sane" They had no interest save that of citizens who desired the law to take its course. Neither had to a fund to prosecute the case, they said.
