Bird's-Eye View of Airplane’s Influence on Europe
With startling abruptness came the end of the testi
mony in the D ’Autremont trial Friday afternoon, when
after six witnesses were called to the stand to defend the
youthful suspect, Attorney Fred Smith said quietly,
’ “ The defense rests, your Honor.”
There was a stir in the courtroom—the ending of the
defense’s case was dully sensational—as lacking in climax
as was the end of the state testimony filled with it.
Two rebuttal witnesses were called by the state, fol
lowing the completion of the defense testimony.
Judge C. A. Thomas ordered court adjourned until
Monday morning when defense and state attorneys will
start their arguments before the 12 jurymen.
The arguments will probably be ended and the case
pass into the hands of the jury Tuesday.

There was a pensive, almost

when he want on the witness stand
Friday morning. There was little

that he was absolutely sincere In

Jack hiked up from San Francisco

The first witness called Friday
afternoon was tbs mother of the

was tbe mother of five children:
Verne. SB. Ray and Roy, twins,
27. Hugh. 23 and Lee, 21.
Mrs. D’Autremont hesitated ns
she gave the ages of the twins.
Hugh she said was either 18
or 20 years old when he was
graduated from high school.
A* she answered these quest
ions, Mrs. D’Autremont rested her
hedd on her hand and looked
down on the floor. The silence
of the courtroom, every oar
strained to hear what waa be

by the crying of a baby.
“Did Hugh inake hie homo wltk-

asked.
“Yes.”
“When he was in Oregon with
whom did he live?”
“When he first came he lived
with his father."
Hugh left New Mexico, the
mother said, about May 26, 1822.
and previous to that time she said
he had never. had gay trouble
with the law.
