the grand jury of Maricopa

have made the statement that he
could have received ten thousand
dollars by voting against GER

known that Mr. Morgan knew
nothing of the affair and his
presence in Phoenix is not re-
quired. Sheriff Hayden recalled
his deputy and what was at first
thought to be a delightful scan
