.JUNTA'S ALLEGED
TRAITOR GRILLED:
CASE SUBMITTED
MACON AND HIS COMP 1MIONS
AWAIT VERDICT
FOR DEFENSE HOLDS
VAsQUEZ UNDER FIRE
Ranger Instructed to Watch So-caIIed
RevoIutionists Gives Testimony
Favorable to Mexican
Prisoners
[Ry Associated Press.l

IN TOMBSTONE, Ariz.. May 15.-The
prosecution in the cases of Magon,
u Villareal and Rivera today intro
duced flags, papers, documents, COM
missions, cartridges and dynamite, al
legged to have been captured in the raid
of the Douglas junta by Arizona rang
ers.
Various rangers were placed on the
stand to identify the same. Vasquez,
the member of the so-called junta who
turned states evidence, was subjected
to terrific grilling by Attorney Cleary
for the defense.
The prosecution closed its case at IL
o'clock this morning and the first wit
ness for the defense was placed on the
stand.
Ranger Hilborn told of his instruc-
tions to watch the junta at Douglas,
and on one occasion entered the room,
informing all of the alleged consplr-
ators he was an officer.
He was invited to search the place,
he says, and was unable to find any
revolutionary papers.
The meeting presumably was for the
purpose of raising funds to celebrate
September 16, a Mexican holiday.
Case Goes to jury
At $3.50 o'clock this evening the last
evidence was submitted on both sides
in the case. Argument was limited TO
two hours for each side by the attor-
neys, who were heard tonight.
The defense made no attempt to deny
the existence of the Liberal party, and
on the contrary introduced a copy OF
the Regeneration, the official organ of
the party, and had the lengthy procla-
nations and manifestos translated and
read to the jury.
The declaration of principles signed
by the defendants when translated
proved to be classic in diction and
glowing with fervid appeals to the
patriotism of Mexicans to strike for
the political and industrial redemption
of the fatherland; secure realization
of ideals which the reform principles of
the new party held out, and end the
present so-called dictatorship, which
was scathingly arraigned.
The constitution embraced over fifty
reform measures pledging improved
economic and governmental principles.
The defense offered no further evi-
denee, the defendants not being called
to the stand.
The prisoners were throughout hope
full of acquittal, holding that viola
tion of the neutrality laws was only
technical since no armed force startea
from American territory
There are four other indictments
pending here against the prisoners on
similar charges, which were returned
b. the grand jury before adJourning
here last week.
