 Continuing his testimony Walz said: When we were stopped in Clifeon Dave Address talked to Lawrence but I don't know what he said. They were rattling off in Spanish. I did hear Lawrence say that he had bor- rowed a pair of gloves from Sheriff Cash in Lordsburg. We left the main street of Lordsburg about ten o'clock at night | guess Sheriff Cash was in Lordsburg when we left hut he was not at the car.
 Testimony of Deputy Sheriff Andress.
 D. E. Address being the next wit ness called, testified as follows:
 MT. Wall: Q. MT. Address, your name is Dave Address? A. Yes.
 c. And you are a Deputy Sheriff of Greenlee County, Arizona?
 A.. Yes, sir.
 Q. And have been for the last year or more? A. Yes. sir
 1 o. On the morning of the 18th, last. did you and MT. Martin and MT. Smith have occasion to stop any auto mobiles here in Clifton? A. Early in the evening, MT. Wall
 1 o. Well, you know this is an in vestigation to ascertain what was brought in those cars; what knowledge
 
 had relative thereto, and why these people were not arrested; now, you can just state to the Chairman and Board all you know about it.
 A. To start with, saw Daley go down in that little, "Hup" car; was standing on the bridge; he was head ing down that way; I knew this ''Hup' was coming and gong and bringing in booze" or had reason to think that; and that evening I was up town and MT. Martin said 'are you ready to go home, and I said mo, am going to watch the road tonight Bud Smith was standing there and he said T will stay with you if you want any help. And I said ''all right" I have stopped a couple of cars recently and they almost run over me, so I told him probably would need some help. I have been on the road and know this car has been coming in pretty regular. I said T saw a car going down this morning and things don't look right to me and I am going to find out" Then we went over to the Central Hotel and Smith had a key to the office, and we sat in there. We walked down in front of J & A. Smiths and there were two delivery wagons there. and we put these in the middle of the road and blocked the road Some time between and o'clock Tn the morning the car came up and stopped, of course, and we stepped out to see who it was. It was Lawrence La Point and Dick Walz. I stepped up on the running board and spoke to them and asked them what they were doing and where they were from and they said Lords burg. I asked them what this meant He seemed excited and rattled little and said "did you konw Jim is in ILordsburg?"; he said q saw him and talked with him and these are his Igloves;" he said From came up with ius." He was talking in Spanish. He said what are you going to do about it?" I said T don't know what I am going to do about it." I said T am going to satisfy myself" I turned to Vernon and said what shaIlwe do;'' Vernon said you are in charge"
 'I won't work for man and double cross him. So I took my ugn off and threw it in the garbage can. I said t'I have gone as far as I am going; I said T am going to stay and see these other cars" We pulled the wagons out and let him go by, and then put them back, and in 15 or 20 minutes another car went by; it was Cody and Mike Sawaia-the same fel- low I got with Pete Beruatto in Dun- can-Cody was rattled and said what is up;" I said there is nothing up: just going to break up the league and see what is doing" He said what are you going to do about it." turned to Vernon again and said what do you think" He said you are doing it and whatever you say goes" I said q have got myself in ( bad place now; I ought to have ar rested the first. bunch, and since l Have taken the action l have and let one car go by it wouldn't look right to arrest the other.'
 q won't work for anybody and double cross them. These are not the fonly guilty men; there are a lot more of them around here doing the same stunt. Another car came on up be- hind; he drove up probably 40 or 50 feet behind and stopped. It was pret- ty light and | looked back and it was Red Daley.
 l Q. That is, Henry Daley? A. Henry Daley, yes. Cody said what are you going to do; are you going to , pull that wagon out of the road" l said q don't know what I am going to do;" he said this is all right, Dave. ' His car was all fastened up all around I looked in all the cars. They were all heavily loaded between the seats
 Just as I said, under the circumstan ces, felt that I was not the boss and I didn't want to take it upon myself Vernon will tell you the action I took I just pulled my gun off and threw it in the garbage can and said T am through" I have come pretty near being run over two or three times
