 q, Douglass Snyder, sworn:-I reside in tucson; have lived in the county five years; was here on the day of election. ana was an officer; took part in counting me ballots; 1t was correctly done; I last saw the ballots lyIng on top of the bal lot oJx on string; they had been lying ,nere quite a while; the string was not broke at that time; the ballots laid on the bench at one time; the first knew ot the ballots being in my store. was the third day-that is my impression that It was the third day when NIT. Katz told me that the ballots were in the store; l opposed Mir.

 Cross.examined:-I paid more atten- ton to the counting than l did to the ballots after the counting; whenever was strlngIng l saw the names on the ballots; when l was sitting watching could not see; called off about one third and strung about one-third; I took more interest in the sheriffs election than any name on the ticket; the names Of the sheriff came little less than halfway down the ticket; I think the count occupied two days and nights and l was without sleep except about 2l ls hours; the tally clerks may have made great many mistakes; there were no mistakes Tn the footings; did not offer to bet against Mir. Paul at any time dur ing the count; I got the information from Judge Meyer, think, that the ballots must not be touched until the returns were made; as far as l was con cerned person could have slipped a ballot off and put another oae on; I saw a ballot for B. H. Hereford for sheriff; that was not counted for Paul or Shaw, 1t was marked scattering.
