 Following the verdict, the three prisoners were turned over to Sheriff Forbes of Pima county-whose depu- ties they were when they shot into the Bates automobile, killing Mrs. Bates-Sheriff Mcknight of Santa Cruz county, being absent.
 Efforts of states attorneys, follow ing the opening of arguments today, were bent toward showing concerted action on the part of the deputies on the night of the murder. County Attorney, Hilzinger, the first of the states counsel to speak, spoke for more than an hour, arraigning the de- fendants in scathing terms, and re- viewing their actions on the night of the killing. They had been commis- stoned together, and they had all been shooting together, he said, and this constituted concerted action on their parts. He read from instruc- tions and cited the law on the ques- tion in point, asserting that it matter

PIMA DEPUTIES ARE COv|CTED IF
 MURDER

Joe L. Wiley, Thomas Johns and Ramon SalaZar, the three deputy sheriffs of Pima County charged with the murder of Josephine Walsh Bates rear Tucson, early in the present year were convicted of murder in the sec o1d degree, in Nogales, Santa Cruz county, where the case was taken on change of venue. Such bitter feeling existed in Pima county against the de- fendants at the time of the staying that the change of venue to the su- perior court of Santa Cruz was logical.
 The verdict was brought in after two hours of deliberation. The con- viction Of all three defendants was apparently a surprise to the defense, but no emotion was shown by any of the three men when the verdict was read.
 County Attorney Hilzinger asked that sentence be imposed Monday.
 The Pima county prosecutor made perhaps the most forceful argument of his career as a public prosecutor, in his address to the jury. His asso-

ed not if any one of the officers failed to hit the machine when he pointed his gun. They were all principles in the affair in the eyes of the law, he said.
 Judge Campbell, going over the testimony of the defendants point by point, brought out the fact that Wiley had testified that while sitting on the left side of the deputies car he had seen the dust from Salazar's bullet rise from where the ball had struck.
 Wiley must have been leaning to- ward the right to have seen this" said Campbell, land if he was leaning to the right across Johns he must have been firing in that direction.
 Sam Pattee, for the defense, went over the actions of the men from the time the telephone message stating that there was trouble at Pastime park, was received at the sheriff's of flee. The defendants were acting in good faith. he said, as officers of the law, and exercising their best judg- ment in order to apprehend the per petrators of the supposed crime at the park.
