President Roosevelt's treatment OF

The attorneys and witnesses in th' Noftz7James case returned home iron
 Tucson yesterday. NoItz was con victed of manslaughter. and on mo ton of attorneys for the defense, th' ceiendant James was ordered dis charged from custody by the court.
 Attorney Sutter was seen shortly af ter his arrival in the city, and was asked for a statement regarding his interview with Noftz after his con yiction, regarding which he made 6 statement to the court in answer tt certain charges made in open court by Attorney Lowell. for the defense. MT. Sutter admitted that he and MT Manahan both saw Noftz on the even ing after the jury had returned a yer dict of manslaughter against him That he went to Noftz and plead with him to go on the stand and tell the truth and to no longer shield any guilty party. That if he would go on the stand and tell the whole truth that he would use his best efforts with the court to secure him a light sentence and that his friends would circulate a petition for his pardon.
 q had a perfect right to do this as an attorney, and I stated the conyer-
 ation I had with Noftz in open court the following morning, which explana. tion was entirely satisfactory to the court.
 Tn answer to my pleadings that he go on the stand the following morning a nd 4o11 ,rr h1 ah kA Ncftz' only answer was: I can not swear a mans life away Further than this he would not say"
 A. L. Manahan was seen also in con- nection with the charge made against him by the attorneys for the defense, and stated that he did have a conver- sation with Noftz after his conviction, and that he had urged Noftz, for his own good, to go on the stand and tell all he knew about the case. MT. Manahan stated that he went to Noftz as friend, as he was formerly in his employe. and begged him to tell the whole story. no matter who might be implicated. but in answer to all the ar guments brought to bear Noftz per sistently stated: 'I can not swear a mans life away. may not receive my reward in this world, but will be rewarded in the next"
 MT. Manahan stated that he did not know his conversation had been the subject of attack in the court until he returned to Bisbee.
 Attorneys and witnesses tell of the abuse of witnesses for the prosecution .ey attorneys for the defense, who per sisted in trying the witnesses rather than the defendants, and on more than one occasion implied that they were in some way connected with the crime.
