 Munden worked in Washington for II years. There he met Miss Mamie E. Forbes and visited her frequently at her fathers house, 17l3 G. Street He says he often heard Mir Forbes tell of his duties at the White House and that he had gone several times with Miss Forbes, later his wife, and her father to Ford's theatre. where the latter described the assassination. Charles Forbes died in 1895 and about a year later Miss Forbes and Srss Munden were married. The license is recorded in the clerks effice Of the supreme court of the District of Columbia.
 During the 30 years from the death of President Lincoln to his own death, Charles Forbes was con- nected with the government in Washington in various capacities. Official government records give the dates of his service, including his duties as an usher at the White House, until the death of Lincoln.
 After the marriage of Miss Forbes and Silas Munden they stored the furniture inherited from Mrs. Nun den's father. including the relics re- gently found, and moved to Nun den's Virginia home Shortly af- tsrward the furniture was brought down for use in the parlor.
 Munden's first wife, who was Miss Forbes, died about 10 years later and Munden married again.
 The guests suggested the value of the possessions for the Lincoln shrine or the memorial at Spring field, IL, and asked what the nun den family expected to do with them.
 Well, I guess I'll dispose of them rome of these days: you know, I've always been Democrat" Munden replied.

CHAIR s SHADOW
SCARE5 DORR

CHICAGO, Jan. IT QN.SD.
Visibly shaken and realizing for
the first time that death is hang
ing in the balance, Samuel How
ard Dorr, once dapper insurance
salesman, today was to hear the
State make final pleas to send
him to electric chair for the mur-
der of William O'Brien.
His countenance was aShy gray.
and his eyes gazed vacantly at
the floor last night as Dorr
heard Walker Butler, assistant
States attorney, ask the jury to
send him to his death for the
fatal shooting of O'Brien, DORIS
neighbor and husband Of his al
legged paramour, Mrs. Genevieve
O'Brien.
Loses Confidence
Dorr lost his debonair, conf
dent Hammer as Butler recounted
again the story Of the shooting
as the State charges it occurred
early in the morning Of Novem-
Der 20.
Dorr heard Butler tell the jury
of the defendants signed state
ment admitting that he hid in
Mrs. O'Brien'S bedroom, revolver
in hand, to shoot the unsuspect-
ing husband down as he strobe
into the room.
Buffers plea concluded a day
Of sensations that for time
threatened a mistrial when Peggy
Edman informed Judge Harry Mil
ler that she had seen jury men,
berS engaged in an evenings
revelry at a South Side Speakeasy,
although they were supposedly
locked up for the night.
Saw Three Jurors
She told Judge Miller that. in
company with q bailiff Of the
court, she had visited the speak
easy. There, she said, she saw
three men who were members Of
the Dorr jury.
When the court decided the
story was without foundation Mrs.
Edman and her husband, Albert
C. Edman, a postoffice employe,
were taken to the detective bu-
reau.
GAS far As the court knows
there has been no tampertng with
the jury" Judge Miller declared
as he ordered the trial to con-
tinue after six1hour delay. The
judge added, however, that his in
vestigation has not been COM
pleted.
Defense Rests
Following more than two hours
Of rebuttal testimony by States
witnesses late, yesterday, DORIS
attorney, Barratt O'Hara, an

rebuttal, and the defense rested.
Mrs. Rose Dorr, the defendants
wife, was not offered the chance
to testify in her husbands behalf
as she was promised on WedneS-
day. She remained faithful to
Dorr despite the alleged statement
signed by Genevieve O'Brien ad-
mitting that she and Dorr had
carried on an intimacy since

How To Fly
LESSON NO. rs
OF The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
IL
AeronGuticGl Engineer

From your previous illustrated
lesson you have learned of the
the method employed in the use
Of metal tubing for fuselage con-
struction. The illustration showed
the type metal fuselage used in
the average plane today. 1t is
doubtful, however, II you will
find in use any of the wood-wire
type also shown in the illustra-
tion.
In the wood-wire type Of fuse
lage, such as in the old Jenny,
there is a need for constant as
Sembly and lining-up of wood and
wires. Often a good bump caused
by a hard landing would throw
the entire fuselage out Of line.
If neglected in such a state, the
plane would greatly endanger the
life OF the person flying it.
Metal Fuselage Stronger
In the metal fuselage we find
much greater strength and reli-
ability as to form and structure.
Such a type of fuselage will with
stand a greater amount Of shock
and generally will last far beyond
the life Of the airplane. as a
whole.
All fuSelage forms, when COW
cred with fabric, are "built-up."
That is, in order to give them
better streamlining and shape,
light wooden frames are added
about the fuSelage frame proper
before the fabric is applied.
The top Of the fuSelage that
we see on the field almost every
day is generally round. In this
case a turtle back" fuselage cover
frame is placed and wired to the
longerons, which when covered
give the appearance OF being
round.
The sides Of the fuselage, too,
are built out by adding a few
thin strips of light wood in a
horizontal position. These strips
are added by tying a few pieces
OF thin wire to the vertical or
diagonal bracings on the fuselage
form proper.
However, with the fuselage, as
with the wings, there are very
many different types to be found,
which may be unlike the types
we have studied. But If you get
a general idea regarding\ the
fuSelage, it will enable you to
understand the usual types OF
frames found in the air.
In regard to tubular metal
tuselages, one considerable advant-
age is that there are no bracing
wires to contend with. All joints
IN the metal fuselage are either
riveted or welded. Today almost
all joints or connections are
welded.
Damaged Tubing Removed
The fuSelage as a whole is
made up Of a number of pieces Of
tubing. If one piece or minor
assembly becomes distorted or
broken, it is a general rule to
remove that entire piece and re-
place it with a new member.
Sometimes broken or cracked tub
Ing may be repaired by using .
reinforcement ferrule inside or
over the outside, welding it into
place.
Examinations are conducted at
regular periods regarding the
tuSelage frame in general. This
may be done by cutting the fabric
at the desired location. or else
BY examination from the inside,

Prohibitions second decade

tary arm Of the United States in
the frontline trenches of enforce
ment. q .s 49,
The Treasury was preparing to
organize a little sister to the
Marine Corps to guard the borders
against smugglers, for that is
substantially what the militarized
border patrol will become, pro-
Wded Congress passes the neces-
sary legislation, operating as the
land force Of the Coast Guard.
This military unit will bear the
same relation to the Coast Guard
as does the Marines to the Navy.
Job Has Grown
The prohibition business was
a bigger job than the first com.

anybody else thought on Janu-
ary IT, 1920. On that day the
Government started after the
bootleggers with 1000 men. hope
full Of cooperation from all the
States, counties and cities.
On tn a t day Commissioner
Kramer issued a statement de-
claring that 1--WE plan quick and
drastic measures to make the
law effective"
An official at the Treasury said
that since the border patrol, de-
ployed from Maine to Washing
ton and from the Gulf to the
Pacific, will be land unit, al
though under regulation of the
sea-going Coast Guard, it must
be Of somewhat different organ
ization.
The guard will be uniformed,
but Of different type than that
Of the Coast Guard.
5000 Men Required
Navy officers are designated as
lieutenant-conmanderS, command
erS, captains and admiralS, as in
the Coast Guard, but Marine
Corps ,Ses the Army organization
with lieutenantS, captains. majors,
colonelS and generals.
The present plan Is for the same
Setup in the border patrol. There
would be ordinary patrolmen, COM
parable to privates in the Marine
Corps, with on-commiSSioned or
warrant officers, and commits
stoned officers, the latter in charge
of the larger areas. The plan Of
placing an officer. possibly Of the
rank Of colonel, in charge Of the
entire patrol, has been considered.
He would be sort of chief of staff
to Admiral F. C. Billiard, COM
mandant Of the Coast Guard, in
charge of the land unit.
The size OF the patrol has not
been determined. At present there
Is q force Of $500 men in the
Coast Guard, Customs and Immi-
grafton patrol to form the nucleus
Of the new Unit. 1t was thought
about 5000 men would be required
for the entire 5000 miles of Dor,
der.
Minimum Pay $2,1OO
It was stated definitely that the
pay Of the patrol, to be enlisted
under Coast Guard regulations for
q definite term Of service, would
be materially higher than that of
enlisted men in the other mill
tary organizations. The present
plan calls for minimum of $2,10O
and q maximum of $4,000 an
