 CREW WITH DAY

Further testimony in the governor ship contest yesterday showed that while in Snowflake precinct the irreg- ularities alleged were discontinued as soon as the election board had been informed of the law in Bisbee precinct No. 1 the irregularities which began in the morning with the organization of foreign election board continued throughout the day, growing rather worse, and into the two nights when the board sought relief from its eXer- tions in whisky.
 Only two witnesses were examined and this phase of the contest was closed except for the submission in evidence, of the precinct registration list offered by the attorneys for Governor Camp bell. The list could not be found among the papers so that a certified copy of it will have to be secured from Tombstone. Though the attorneys for the contestee made no avowal of proof of fraud, the offer of the registration list looks like an attempt to establish fraud.

B. Whitney, the city attorney and one of former Governor Hunts s attorneys in the contest was sitting behind the table where the ballot box was and advised the board to oust Lud- wig. Many hands were laid upon him, then said the witness and he was thrust outward into the gathering dark
 
 said there were many persons in the room, among them Quinnan, Green and i Whitney
 i On cross examination Ludwig was asked what right he had in the room anyhow. He repeated that he had entered to give instructions to the re- publican watcher. Being still further questioned on that point, Judge Camp l bell suggested that he or any other voters had a right to be in the room after 6 o'clock.
 The attorneys for the contestee here i offered several documents in evidence Among them were certificates from the county recorder of Cochise county showing the registration residence oi George J. Reardon the inspector, L. R Roscoe, judge and E. H. Sheldon, cleo tion marshal. The purpose was to show that none of these officials were resi- dents of the precinct.
