the return of Cox and Pearson and
the chargin of the detectives when
they found that Pearson and Hart
had got together again. One of them
had told Mr. Mills reproachfully, that
if he, Mr. Mills. had wanted to do
SO, he could have got Hart out OF
the country for $4,000.
When Mr.. Mills learned about the
dictagraph. he remembered that he
was Of democratic stock and that this
seemed to be a pretty dirty design
against democrats. According he
wrote to his father about it and when
he came to Phoenix, he got into COM
municat;on with the Hunt people and
told what he knew. He was burst
| ing to tell it in court. He had a
/ tyre written paper on which he had
! jotted down certain facts for the
refreshment of his memory. Later

I The Enterta nment of Mr.. Mills
What he had TO tell has already
/ been set forth in brief. 1t appeared
that during his stay in Douglas the
| detectives who are always full of
/ just such tricks, knocked off all other
work to entertain Mills. a stranger,
ard tell him just what they had done
and what they were going to do:
! they had let him into the secret that
the Campbell fund was of unbounded
/ limitation because it had been con-
4 tributed by the corporations an6
wealthy ca;tlemen. To the detectives
money was no object; to them $3.50
WIS not an eXtravagant price for
breakfast.
Judge Campbell had a great deal OF
| fun with Mills on cross examination
and brought out some facts that had
escaped the memory of Mills on direct
I examination. For instance, that he
I had once carried d bottle of whisky
to the room of che of the detectives.
That was all he said, but under the
refreshing influence Of Judge Camp

What kind of a way" asked Judge
Campbell.
I'm leave that to you," replied Mills,
who is given to repartee, that being

IN leave it to the government" said
( Judge Campbell, who added. and this

Is this developing into a bootleg
ging case?' inquired Mr. Ives.
After some further cross examina-
ton, when Mills told about the detec-
tives intending to receive subpoenas
and warrants by telephone, Judge
Campbell kindly told him that the
detectives had been "stringing" him.
There was feature of the relation
by Mills of the fairy tales of the de-
tectives that was really enjoyable. The
| statements of the detectives had been
plentifully garnished with profanity. 1t
appeared that profanity was new to
the young man, and that the novelty
was pleasing to him. The way in
which he rolled those forbidden words
off his tongue as if he hated to part
with them, afforded pleasure to the
audience, however much the audience
may have deprecated the tendency of
To-,
But that is the detective all over
again.
Another Bursting Witness
Douglas youth, C. r. Langley. of
no settled employment. had some inn
portant information he was DESTROYS
of divulging against the detectives,
mainly for the purpose of showing that
he was no SLOUGH of a sleuth himself.
He said that one morning not long
ago he met Hart on the street in
Douglas and they saw Carr the de-
tective coming out of an alley. Lang
ley said that Hart nudged him. a
movement which Langley thought
meant for him to keep his eyes and
ears open. Carr came up to them and
Langley deceived him by taking three
steps down the alley and then turning
back, taking a position behinS Carr
about three feet distant. He heard
Carr say to Hart, THAT proposition il
still open: $4,000 means nothing to
us" On cross examination Langley
said he heard the words Douglas pre-
cinct" mentioned but that was all
Hart and Carr started toward the
Gadsden hotel and they We're Swallowed

a distance and saw a piece of paper
