Future Bright
The future Of aviation is bright,
he continued, and will result in
closer relationships between North

with which Brownsville goes after

foreseen here today when the trial
OF Mrs. Altha Harbaugh. charged
with murder IN connection with the
killing Of Captain Charles Stevens,

reached when Mrs. Harbaugh took
the stand yesterday. She had been
identified as the decoy who stopped
the car carrying Stevens at the top
of a hill six miles from San An
tonic. Stevens was slain az the bot
tom of the hill by a gang. one OF
whom was killed in an exchange
OF shots. Her brother, Lynn Steph-
ems, also is under indictment in
the same case, but has not been
arrested.

she was at her sisters nome when
Lynn Stephens entered. He wore
no clothes, the defendant said. and
with him was joe Rhomer, also under
a murder indictment. a man named
Thurman and several other men.
She testified Stephens had been
acting queerly for several weeks.
The witness related her brother
made her get into an automobile
with him. and drove into the coun-
try for several miles. A second car
arrived with "Skeet' Hobrecht. The
only persons she could identify
were Hobrecht and Joe Rhomer.
Protested
She said her brother told Rhom-
er TO take her to the top Of the
hill and instructed her 10 stop the
first car that came over the hill.
She said she protested, but was
silenced. by Rhomer. .
The car carrying the federal
agents came over the hill. She
walked from her car, which par
TALLY blocked the road. No coher-
ent word was spoken. she testified
and she declares she heard no
shooting.
The state contends she flashed a
light In the officers faces and then
waved Il over her head as a signal
10 the men at the foot OF the hill.
When the officers proceeded, they
were fired upon.
