with the ammunition to Blsbee- 'Dn this last voyage there was 4 mumer- ous crew of Wells-Fargo men, ship ping clerks and others who have not all showed their heads above deck as yet. While De Negri had the tilIer, the boat was rocking in stormy sea, covered with the ice of objections. But on it's return voyage it passed unharmed by the winds and waves.
 Who's Next?
 Higher and higher in the scale of positions. the accusation pointer turn ed yesterday. resting at the close of the session pretty close to Assistant Manager Frank Coles From the transfer man who ..toted" the stuff in his express wagon from the Doug las Hardware company's store to the Topper Queen store in Douglas. up trough the offices of the first cor roration. through the two express of fees to the shipping department of the Bisbee store, the government fol- lowed the cartridges. Having traced the course of the 50.000 30-20s that far, Mir. Morrison pronounced the question that came like shot and smote J. Y. Barry the shipping and receiving clerk of the store right be tween the eyes:
 By whose orders did you transport these cartridges to the store2"
 MT. Coles"
 The prosecution cannot put MT. Coles on the stand and ask him where his authority came from But it can and will use Manager Sterling Of the hardware department. Mir. Sterling will be on the stand when the case is opened this morning t.
 Inc lt,r pened several evenings and afternoons .n the Bisbee store. Sterling is the mysterious American, whom neither Perez nor De Negri knew. but who was present at the conferences be tween Coles and the confessd con spIators Therefore the testimony Q. MT. Sterling is likely to be inter 1 esting.
 The prosecution started out with ! the statement it would attempt to prove it's conspiracy charge by show ne with whose knowledge and by ] whose assistance the cartridges were i transported toward the border. The fact that De Negri paid only the eX- ] press on the 5O,0O0 shells that went from the Douglas Hardware store to the Phelps Dodge store is one of the ] significant facts introduced by the | government Another point lies in who arranged for the wagon by 1 U hich the ammunition was carried | from Bisbee to the town of Baker l riIIe, near which it was intercepted. This will be shown today in the tes- l timony of Cannon, who is one of the mysteries of the case, the unknown American who rode with De Negri i Perez. Martinez and the driver oi 1ta rA
 Defense objected to this on the ground it could not connect the de .erdants with the conspiracy. Mor- rison said he had already shown enough connection to warrant the jury hearing the testimony of De Ncgri on these points. The Mexican ! agent was again on the stand in the m rning. Ling objected and the fire
 works broke loose.
 - suppose you will continue to ob- jcct on those grounds as long as the case goes on." said Morrison. and
 Ling said, Yes, and after it is over
 too"
 Morrison admitted that he couldn'; connect Brophy with De Negris tes-
 timory.
 The disposition of the a1ms after they would reach Mexico was point 1 'i- NtltH lHtIe Was q sharp flShl between counsel Morrison wanted to
 show disposition in Mexico but on objection by the defense changed il to receipt. And the objection tc this was also sustained.
 The exact time at which the con spiracy would have reached it's con summation. had it not been inter- rupted was another point on which l the counsel ged to hand some lively arguments It was still an open question just hen the utter ances and acts of one conspiratol ceased to be binding on other mem | bers of the confederation But the prosecution was successful in gettine in the record the fact that the shells were destined for use by the Sonora uoops in the battles against the iuerta soldiers. Four hundred miles south of Naco lies Santa Rosa and here was the destination of the freight car provided on the Naco sid ing.
 Objection of defense was sustained as to testimony concerning Braca monte's connection with the con ! spiracy. The Agua Preta member of the plotting band never reached the United States and his connection could not be used against the de- 1 fCndants.
 Oefense's Examination One very startling fact was brought l out in the defense's attempt to cross 1 examine De Negri It was that there was no infringement of law or reso- | luton in this case because the gov 1 ernment of the state of Sonora is in fact the same as that of Madero, r whom the president permitted the | export of arms. Attorney J. M Ross | declared out of court he could show l that the state government is contin- | u"us with that of Madero. that the ] constitution from which it gets it's 1 name is the document that. Madero provided, that Maderista has ceased 1 |" be applied to followers of the dead 1 0ictafor hnt nnn. nnnIio.. . n --,...
