Every day furious battles were fought thousands of feet in the air as the Yanks trled to penetrate the German aerial de fense and make observations of the great German retreat from the Marne Salient, which had begun July 18. The losses of the American fiy ers had been heavy and Luke was one of the fledgling fivers sent up from the training camps as_replacements. Another was First Lteut. Joseph Wehner of Boston, of whom we shall hear more shortly. Luke's Reception. The 27th was a veteran squadron. Most of its members had been born to a background of the Social Regis- ter and were familiar with the paths on historie Eastern college campuses; they were none the worse fighting men for that. Luke was from the free and easy West and his collegiate social experience had been limited to fraternity parties at the high school in Phoenix. He had always enjoved prominence and leadership at home, his progress through the training schools had been too rapid for much personal contact apd at Saints he found himself for the first time in his life a person of very little im- portance. It is on record that he made some efforts to assert himself. Driven by the urgency of their daily fighting. his older squadron mates somewhat hastily decided that ‘“the kid was Charitable Organi- zation Here.

He had met First Lieut. Joseph Wehner while both were training at Issoudun and ux. Both had joined the 27th at about the same time. Wehner's German name and ancestry had made him an object of suspicion to the secret service; a slanderous letter accusing him of dis- loyalty had been sent in by a stay-at. home resident of Dorchester, Mass, While he was cleared of the charges in this letter, he was still under ob- xervation and as a result was in much the same position of loneliness as was Luke, Luke’s Closest Friend. The two friends spent long hours talking and planning a joint vindica- tion that should confound their critics. From the con tion of their com- rades they had learned of the diffi cuities and dangers incident to attack- ing German observation balloons, Both the contending armies made lik eral use of these huge ‘“sausages, which were tethered at the ends of long steel cables at helghts varying from a thousand to three thousand teet above the ground. Each balloon carried one or two observers who studied enemy activities in the range of their vision and made constant re- ports to the ground by telephone. They reported troop movements, lo- cated enemy batteries and directed the fire of thelr own artillery. These valuable “eyes of the army" were protected by several rings of anttatreraft cannon and machine guns; flights of guardian pursuit planes constantly hovered above to drives off any attacking pllots. A large ground crew stood nlways ready to pull the balloon swiftly to the ground with a huge winch in case of attack. The dificulty of shooting down an observation balloon s fllsutrated by the fact that the German Alr Service credited two victories to their fiyers for each balloon shot down. By com- mon consent, balloons were well protected that they were practically exempt from attuck by nirplanes, Luke and Wehner had given much thought to this matter of balloons. They had evolved n new theory of attack ngainst these protected mon sters, hey reasoned that if they flew far back over the German lines and approached thelr intended vic tm& from enemy territory at twilight with the sun behind them they might be taken for Gierman planes until it was too late to prevent thelr attack or draw the balloon to safety on the ground. Their success depended upon setting the balloon afire with the first blast of thelr machine guns. The de- fenses were so eomplete that there was little opportunity for a second chance The time was close when they were o try out thelr theory with startling results, (Copyright, 1028 ) Tomorrow—Read Luke's own story of hix first attack on a Ger balloon and the part that Wehner played In the re- sultant fight.

CHILDIEEM HICKMAN INDICTED INSECOND MURDER Confessed Kidnaper-Slayer Charged With Killing in Attempted Hold-up. LOS ANC January 5.—~Wil- liam Bdward Hickman, confessed kid- naper ahd killer of Marian Parker, was indicted for a second murder to- day, when the county grand jury or- dered him to trial for the slaying of C. Ivy Thoms, Rosehill drugglst, dur- ing an attempted hold-up a year ago. The grand jury yesterday heard the principal withess in the investigation into the holdup by Hickman and Welby Hunt, his 16.year-old accom- plice, which resulted in the fatal shoot- ing of C. Ivy Thoms, Rosehill, Calif., druggist. Hickman detailed for the second time the events of the holdup of the drug store on Christmas eve, 1926, Hickman, according to the jurors, showed a remarkable memory for de- talls of the holdup. He drew a map of the scene and told of how the pair shot it out with a police officer who opened fire on them while the holdup | was in progress. i Hunt Refuses fo Talk. Hunt stood upon his constitution- al privilege and refused to testify be- fore the grand jury. He previously had -onfessed to participating in the holdup, but denfed that it was a shot from his pistol which fatally wounded | the druggist. Although an examina- | tion of the bullet which killed Thom: showed it to be the same caliber as the pistol carried by Hunt. The much-discussed question of pro- edure in the Hickman case. inasmuch | it involves as vet little-tested phases of the new California crimt code, has been cleared somewhat by a statement by Walter K. Tuller, chair man of the commission for the revi slon of the code of eriminal procedure which drew up the law. Explanation of Pleas. “A defendant may plead ‘not guilty’ and ‘not guilty by reason of insanity or may plead only ‘not guilty by rea- | son of insanity,” " Mr. Tuller explained. “In the latter case the law specifically provides that he ‘thereby admits the | ommission of the offense charged.’ This was Hickman's plea. “If it s determined that he was | sane, he {s to be sentenced as if he pleaded gullty. 1f it {8 determined he was insane, he s to be sentenced (un- | less the court shall determine he has fully recovered his sanity) to tre State to remain there for life, un Superfor Court shall sooner nd determine his sanity has restored,” Tuller declared been fully Blast Kills 7, Hurts 20.
