 day and fl nlte1 in their dis
 chsrge IE9 ssidence on behal
 of the prosecution was of a de
 cidedly contradictory nature
 while that given by the defense
 was the contrary.
 The disgraceful actions of the
 District Attorney were much and
 unfavorably commented upon
 During almost the entire time the
 examination was in progress he
 was in beastly state of intoxica-
 ton and in no condition to prop
 erly represent the territory. As a
 consequence the court and the
 witnesses were both put to great
 delay, annoyance and inconven-
 fence. We give below a resume
 of the evidence:
 Pablo Salcido was the first wit
 ness called. He testified:
 I was present at Morenci on the
 night of the shooting. At the
 time the first one or two shots
 were fired I was inside my own saloon. I ran outside when I
 heard the first one or two shots.
 When 1 got outside the firing WAS general. There were 20 or 25 shots fired. I looked across into Longmore's saloon and recognized Longmore and O'Daly. The Mex jeans in the saloon were running from side to side, and I saw the deceased going out, with his left side to the bar. 1 heard one or two shots as the deceased was walk ing toward the door, and then he turned his right side to the bar. At the time deceased turned his right side Mir. Longmore was sit ting on top of the lar, and as the deceased turned MT. Longmore fired at him. 1 do not know whether the shot struck him or not, but think so, because I saw the blaze upon his coat. The de- ceased then walked very slow toward the door. and as he was walking l saw O'Daly fire shot at him and follow him up and fired another shot just as he was going out the door. The second shot hit him in the leg, because I saw him kind of drop down. O'Da- ly then followed deceased out the door and fired shot into crowd of Mexicans standing to the left of the door. The deceased then walked across the street and into my place and said he was wound ed. I saw a crowd coming toward my place and fired shot into the air to keep them away. I was afraid they might be coming to kill me, or to raise trouble in my house. 1 did not see Harrison do any shooting. After he got into the house deceased dld not speak. I did not See the wounds. I WAS standing outside the door when Longmore fired and saw him very plainly. I only saw Longmore fire one shot. saw O'Daly fire three shots. At the tina deceased walked out of the door he had a pistol stuck in the front of his pants. 1 did not see deceased lire a shot. I do not know wheth- er ODaly's first shot was fired at the deceased or not. At the time saw deceased walking toward the door of Longmore's saloon he walked the same before and after Longmore fired. Isaw Longmore and O'Daly very plainly. I recog- nized several others, Mexicans. I did not see Harrison until few minutes after the shooting, when he walked up toward a crowd of standing outside the saloon. At the time I was stand ing outside the door there were six or seven others standing around, but I did not recognize them. It was two or three minutes after Longmore fired that O'Daly fired. Martinez lived 20 or 30 minutes after he came into the saloon. At the time O'Daly fired deceased was not offering violence to him in any way.
 This ended the direct testimony and the territory prepared to take a nap during the cross-examina- ton, which developed the follow ing in addition to the above:
 I did not see any one fire but Longmore and O'Daly. At the time O'Daly fired people were passing in and out of the door. There were a number of other people in the saloon, but I did not fbo,,o I do Epo,y fbof
