ALTMAN FAVORS
 SMITH PARK SITE
Thinks City Should Lose No Time in Accepting
 Offer

John ". Altman Is convinced that the Smith park location is the ideal site for an auditorium and believes the Smith heirs without delay. NlIe writes:
 To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The matter of the placing and the building of sufficient audi terium in Birmingham is of imme- date and vital interest to our peo- pie and cur city and no citizen should hesitate to express an opinion thereon after having made reason able investigation and given the matter consideration. The views of our citizenship will be of value to The commission.
 Some months ago I saw the plans as advocated by our former mayor. the Hon. J. A. VanHoose, and I was much impressed with the ideas ad vanced by him, but was of the epin- lon that Smith park was too far distant. At that time I had not been to Smith park and investigated A few weeks ago 1 took occasion to drive out F'iftd avenue and around the proposed site, and was much sur priaed at it's easy accessibility and that the place was readily reached from several street car lines. l then reached the conclusion that Smith park was the most available place for the auditorium. and 1t was my opinion that the city should purchase Smith park and abandon me idea of building an auditorium adjacent to the railroad yards on Eighth avenue.
 Subsequently, the Smith park site was gratuitously offered to the city by the heirs of the late Dr. Joseph k. smith. It was a handsome thing to do. should have met with the fullest of commendation, and I could not then conceive nor can l now imagine why the city should not gratefully accept the offer.
 l hope the commission will accept this site with the appreciation It rightfully deserves, and that the aud itorium will go forward without un- necessary delay.
 Because the opinions of our peo pie arc valuable l hope thas none will hesitate to express their ideas to the commission on the subject. Respectfully submitted,

and that on suggestion by him (Bed- dow) the body was exhumed. He de- clared that 1t was an honest mistake in assuming that there was a knife wound on the body of Roberts, since 1t was necessary to take 10 stitcAe where the bullet came out.
 Defendant Calm and silent
 Edna Marc sat calm and undls- turbed throughout the argument and at times when Beddow referred to her as vicious citizen of the under world, ready at all times to defend her lover" she only looked him in- differently.
 The courtroom was packed to ca pacity during the afternoon session while Beddow delivered the closing address and the eager crowd craned forward as the prosecutor challenged the defense's case.
 John Altman closed the defense side before the noon hour after consum- ing 10 hours in the argument. , Judge Heflin delivered his charge to the jury at night session which began at s o'clock last night and continued%until near midnight. More than 100 written charges were read to the jury on the request of att torneys on both sides.
 The oral charge of Judge Heflin consumed more than an hour. John Altman objected to number Of statements in the charge which made 1t necessary that 1t be reread by the stenosrapher in order that the exceptions might be entered in the proper places.
 All of the written charges had to be read and approved by Judge lief lin before they could be read to the jury. A number of them were re- fused by the court. Following the charge of the court the jury retired to the hotel for the night. It will begin it's deliberation on the case at 9 o'clock this morning.

 Up to this time, no attempt has been made to establish plane-to-sta- tion communication, but this is be- ing taken up, and within the next

 Possibly the most interesting item of news to the men generally is the announcement that q regular flight roster has been started by Sergeant Russell. so that every man who reg isters his name in advance, and at tends the formations at the field sundays will get a ride in his turn,
 Last Sunday a dozen or so of the FrNN.- commanding officer, Major Meissner and the federal instructor, Captain Duncan, spent most of the afternoon initiating the recruits. but notwith- standing all they accomplished there was considerable group of disap- pointed rockies" on hand when the ships came down for the last time, and were taxied into the hangars.
 Turn in Flight
 It Is Major Meissner's desire that every man in the squadron have a chance to get up as quickly as possi- ble, and for this reason it has been decided to invite the men to register their names and present themselves in turn for flight.
 As the squadron settles down to regular flying instruction the oppor- tunities for joy riding will diminish; sequently the men are urged to send in their names for the first available date. Pending completion of the telephone line to the field. Sergeant Russell can be reached either through the ndjutant, Lieut.. sam C. Bowman. in the Jefferson County Bank building. or the assist ant adjutant, Lieut.. l. H. Willis, in the First National Bank building.
 Announcement was made yesterday that Capt. James A. Simpson had passed the requisite preliminary ex- animation at the air service depot, Montgomery, and was placed on fly ing status"
