 Cross-examined she admitted that she had lived with Noftz, and has sometimes gone by the name of Mrs. Noftz. A rigid cross-eXamination failed to shake the woman. and she proved a valuable witness for the de- fense.
 Charles Williams. one of the men who went to Naco soon after the mur der of Milless in tue hope that some trace of the perpetrators of the crime could be found, told of reaching Naco about o'clock and learning from the stableman that but one team had put ur there that night. and that had been driven by other parties than James and Noftz.
 The defendant, Johnny James. took the stand in his own behalf, and de- nied any knowledge or the hold-up, ae- ciaring that. according to the reports which he had read in Cananea of it, he must have been in Naco before it oc- cured. The defendant told a viva tale of the cruel treatment he receiv ed at the city jail in this city, being obliged to go without food for a period f1 four whole oays. getling but slice of bread then.

He scored the the officers who were guilty of such acts as un-American anu filter subjects for criminal suit than the man before the bar. McGowan dwelt on the flimsiness of the prosecu- ton at every point, and in the strong est terms denounced the testimony and character of some of the prosecu- tion's witnesses.

 The testimony adduced at the James hearing was submitted. by mutual agreement of the attorneys, as bearing on the charge against Mabel Carlisle.
 A prolonged hush fell upon the court room as Justice Mcdonald pre- pared to read his decision in the cases before him. He finally announceu that in view of the evidence at hand he was satisfied that there was sufh- cient cause to believe the defendants gulity. and ordered them turned over to the keeping of the sheriff until the grand iu-v meets at the December term of court,
