TRIAL IS PROCEEDING
 SLOWLY
ATTORNEY SCORES WIT MISSES. FOR PROSECU- TON; BOTH SIDES CON- FIDENT OF VICTORY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

AIter bringing your WIG, lhS mother of your two children, through the rear door of Birch Bros cafe ami taking her into a rear booth, .you pushed the call button for a waiter and when Larry Duff came into the booth, you gave a tremendous wink of the eye as you testified to indi- cate to Duff that you wished the woman you had with you to become drunk. Did you not testify to that?'
 Ralph H. Bryant, self-styled ''inves tigator" for the Thiel Detective Ser vice, employed by Sheriff Joe Young to "get" evidence against men named by the sheriff, had the above scoring question to answer in the grilling cross-examination of the witness yes terday afternoon by Attorney Morri- son, representing the defense in the case of the State of Arizona vs. Bob Birch in the Superior court.
 Bryant's answer was ''Yes, sir"
 Bryant also testified in cross-exam- ination that he sometimes used the name "O'Brien" in his detective" work, for this was the name of his an cestors. He could not remember how many glasses of ginger ale he drank at Birch Bros during the course Of an evening meal at which time he se- cured samples of the alleged intoxi- eating drink He testified that both he and his wife were able to walk home after drinking "seven or eight rounds of ginger ale" of which he al legged, he took alleged samples. He further said that he made records on the sample bottles before retiring.
 Other evidence furnished by the witness was to the same effect of the other three "spotters," who had pre- ceded him on the stand. He claimed to have bought pint bottle of whis- key from the defendant
 Charles J. Cooper, another Thicl detective, testified that he had bought a pint bottle of whiskey from the de- fendant on May 24th. He also testi- fed that he had given drinks away on two occasions, which Attorney Nor rison pointed out was a violation ot the liquor law. According to Cooper he only drank when it was business 10 drink"
 In the testimony of w. w. Terry, brother of s. E. Terry, the first wit ness for the prosecution, some inter esting facts were brought to light. Terry stated that D. H. Moore, 6 former "spotter" for Sheriff Young, had employed him April 23rd, but that he has been paid $ day continuous ly since his arrival in Prescott, April 10th. His expenses, he said, have amounted to S200.
 It was suggested by Attorney Nor rison that Terry should sec his friend Moore now, after the latter's fistic en- counter Saturday with Jim Ehlc. Judge Smith had to rap for order.
 During the cross-examination of the witness, it was brought out that w. w. Terry had given away drinks free ly. It is believed that the defense will attempt to show alleged cases of "bootlegging' committed by the de- tectivc. Another point brought out by the defense tended to show that the witness was ordered out of Birch's place. This Terry denied.
 s. E. Terry was the first witness of the day, completing the cross-exam- ination which was continued from Saturday. The last witness presented by the prosecution yesterday was Prof. Carlyle, who gave the result of chemical analysis of the ginger ale which Bryant claimed to have pur- chased. He stated it contained 394S per cent alcohol During his exam ination, Attorney Morrison referred to Sheriff Young as "whiskey ex- pert"
 That the case will take about three more days is indicated by the fact that less than half of the prosecu- tion's witnesses have testified. Attor- ncys for both sides feel confident oi
