DEFENSE OPENS
TESTIMONY IN
MCPHERSON CASE
BY LINCOLN QUARBERG
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10. - The
first defense witnesses were called
10 the witness stand today in the
hearing of Aimee Semplc McPhcr,
son and associates on charges Of
perjury aud conspiracy to obstrnrt
.imstic.
The first witness summoned by
Defense Attorney W. |. Gilbert WAS
Mrs. Gail X. Noont2, who claims it
was she, and not the evangelist, who
sent telegram from CHA Bend TO
Tucson, Arizona ON June l3, shortly
before Mrs. Mcpherson made her
dramatic reappcarancc at Aqua
Pricta, Mexico.
In the face Of vigorous opposition
by the prosecution, Mrs. koontz
was allowed to take the Witness
stand when the hearing was resum-
ed.

be material later. This woman s
testimony is not material at this
time, however.
When Attorney Gilbert began ex,
animation of Mrs. koontz he was
interrupted repeatedly by state q
oh iections and finally gave up until
the prosecution could qualify the
witness.
States attorneys launched into n
LENGTHY examination of Mrs.
Koontz, asking numerous questions
which appeared TO have no bearing
on the ease, and arguing repeatedly
with the witness.
TIE cross examination tactics were
similar to those employed by Gll'
bert in questioning state s Witnesses
Gilbert objected strenuouslv but
was unable to make the state ask
straight forward Questions.
Sticks To Story
Mrs. Koontz, wife of an army
aviator, testified it was she, and not
the EVANGELIST, who had been seen
at Gila Bend on June 10 by two
prosecution witnesses. Mrs. koon'2
said she sent the telegram which me
state contends was filed at Gila
Bend by woman identified rs
Mrs. Mcpherson, and that she was
the woman who was seen PURCHASING
Los Angeles newspapers in the Ara
zona city.
Under severe cross examination
by prosecuting attorneys MIS-
Koontz adhered to her story ;md
denied that she was paid to testify
by the evangelist. =
Her direct testimony was hriet
and after the state concluded ltS
cross examination at noon the hear
ing was adjourned until Monday
wlcn the state will call further wit
ncsscs to the stand.

INSECTS WORST
 ENEMY OF WORLD
Do Most Damase-Other Insects

Washington, D. C., Sept 24 N- Insects are mans worst enemy. Ills chief defense against them IS other insects. How he mobilizes this aid is revealed in the story of new kind of fly sent from the other side of the world to the Smithsonian h. stitution to be identified. The fly had been discovered to be very ef- fective in attacking a kind of cater pillar which was destroying cocoa nut plams in the Federated Malay states, The entomologist of the Ma lay states sent it to the Smithsonian Institution where Dr. Aldrich, cura- tor of the division of insects of the national museum, Identified it as a new kind and christened it "Ptycho- myia remeta."
 Recently pr. Aldrich received a letter from the acting superintendent of agriculture in Fiji, where a cater pillar similar to that in the Malay states has been preying upon the cocoanuts. The letter announces the introduction of "Ptychomyia remota' from the Malay states.
 This fly" continues the letter, "has spread amazingly and is now thoroughly through areas infected by the caterpillar. Everywhere 1t has parasised from 70 to 90 per cent

 Yet Dempsey wants another chance at his conqueror. He bold ly asked for 1t last night, when he rushed into the center of the ring to embrace Tunney as he was pro- claimed the new champion.
 Dempsey cried when he reached the seclusion of his hotel last night. He bravely held up while making the trip from the stadium, but when he found himself alone in his room, he buried his face in his hands and sobbed for few seconds. Then he quickly regained his composure and stretched himself on the bed to have his tired and aching body soothed at the hands of Jerry the Greek, his personal attendant and rubber.
 The former champion is to be joined today by his wife, Estelle Taylor who Is speeding from Los Angeles.

HEARS DAUGHTERS
 VOICE FROM AIR
Virginia Farmer Locates Missing
 Daughter
By READ COONTZ

Exclusive Dispatch, Copyright, 1928.
 Arlington, Va, Sept. A (EFS).- Stranger than fiction!
 Justin Dyer. Virginia farmer, Idly turned the dial of his radio and found himself listening to the voice of daughter he had given up as dead.
 Two years ago. Sarah Dyer. then IT, decided that life on the farm with three husky men to feed held no romance for her. Her mother had died three years before.
 One afternoon she set the supper table, put the soup on to boil, pin ned note on the kitchen door where father and brothers would see it when they came in, and left.
 No trace could be found of her after long search and Sarah was mourned as dead by the family.
 Sometime ago the boys bought the radio that Sarah had so longed for in the bleak days when feeding chickens, getting meals and cleaning up the house was her only excite iteiIt. 1Ho otller evening "nen lHe boys were down in the village, MT.

My heart jumped right up in my throat for I knew there was not an-

most sensational engagement. He battered the Argentine to uncon- sciousness in two rounds of the most furious fighting ever crowded into a heavyweight championship con- test. Dempsey himself was all but knocked out in the first round when Firpo drove him through the ropes. Yet, he came back with marvellous gameness and turned what appeared to be defeat into victory.
 The experts, analysing last nights battle, agreed today that the sting of Dempsey's once murderous punch, had been lost as a result of his three years of inactivity. The story of the battle is the simple story of once great champion who had gone back too far to meet the chal- lenge of younger. more vigorous challenger, equally smart in ring cunning.
 Dempsey looked splendid In train ing, but in the fire of actual combat, his timing of blows was amazingly poor and his coordination in de- livery was off.
 Dempsey's great heart was willing to carry him into the fury of battle. the spirit was there, but the flesh, ravaged by three years of idleness could not be lashed into a supreme effort. Time and again Tunney shook Dempsey until the latter's knees bent not with one blow, but with a storm Of punches. A weaker man, man with less courage, un- doubtedly would have gone down under the attack, but Dempsey beaten badly. never once stopped fighting.
 No fighter In modern history of the ring displayed more courage than Dempsey while losing his cherished crown. He gave proof Of his ability to withstand punish ment and also his gameness. He left his corner at the opening bell with typical Dempsey rush. Short ly before the bell sounded, for the last time it would sound for Denp- scy as champion, he still was rush. ing forward. The dethroned title holder, half-blinded. his left eye ! swollen shut, and his right eye cut, was still aggressive up to the final minute. but not the aggressor.
 The Dempsey who had been harassed almost to the point of nervous collapse as he strove to get into condition after three years of

other person in the world had voice like hers. It had sort of a huskiness-and once-she laughed and I'd know her laugh anywhere!
 q got excited and turned the dial and lost the station until they was giving another number. The station was WCR, at Newark, N. J. I wired them asking the name of the young lady who told the stories. Sure enough it was our Sarah"
 A reunion followed.
 Sarah explained that she had not written because she feared her father would make her come home, and she had found happiness in work that was a joy and not drudgery.
 She started out to hike to New York that day when the pots and pans and farm chores seemed insur- mountable. She received frequent lifts from passing cars and was car- ried into Newark, N. J., by a Meth odist minister and his wife. They took her in their home and allowed her to help with the housework until she could find other employment. Through stages of positions as cham bermaid, dry goods clerk and tele- phone girl, Sarah finally found her self in the -ork that she craved- A kindergarten teacher employed her to help with her little folks at noon hour and with their wraps. Sarah had a way with children and in a short time she was assisting in the schoolroom. children sat still as little mice when she was telling the wonderful stories that used to pop up in her mind when she was lone on the farm. In radio program for children she was asked to tell two of these stories. Doubtless many children thrilled to the wonderful escapades of rom and Betty" but the invisible listener who got the greatest thrill was a. tired farmer her father.
