 In the afternoon the defendant took the stand. He related in French, with apparent deep feeling. the mis- conduct of the woman. and when his mind went back to her frequent breaking of her promises to him to lead clean life, his eyes filled with tears and his mouth quivered with emotion. It was plain that he was a very sensitive individual or very cOnsummate actor
 He was suffused again. and again his voice - trembled with feeling when he was asked by his sy1npathet- ic attorney why he had not married the woman who had borne him two children. He replied that she had consistently refused to marry He was asked if he would marry her now His answer was a little eva sive, or, he may not have understood the question.

When they were resubmit- ted by the government prosecutor. he said he believed that in view of the testimony of Bernardin that he had ,lx the original objection that the pie lures were two years old had been removed. The court thought not Bernardin had time in two years to reform himself to such an extent that he would not distribute such pictures.
 The principal theory of the defense was that, laying aside the fact that no crime on the part of the defend ant had been proved, if there had been a crime, it had been committed without the Jurisdiction of this court; that especially there was no evidence to show that the defendant had con- trolled the actions of the woman dur ing her stay in Phoenix
