They were about the polling place all day soliciting votes for the former governor and were Ill l the room when the door was closed at six o'clock within six feet of the pallot box, calling to the line of voters 10 vote for Hunt
 Testimony Confirmed
 MT. Allison being recalled described i conditions in much the same manner as they had been painted by MT. Car retto, especially with relation to the ac- 1 tivities of Green and Quinnan. He also confirmed the testimony of MT. Carretto as to the residence of the various mem bers of the election board and the pres ence about the polls of Candidate ROCK and Chairman Johnson of the board or supervisors MT. Allison said that he was in the, polling room frequently 10 l attend to the furnace in the back part of the room and once he was accosted | by a woman in one of the booths who ! tn l-nnv how vote on the wet amendment. MT. Allison told her l that he could not assist her, though i when she asked him where she should put the cross he called to her and told l her in the square marked yes The next witness was M. w. Merrill. a miner, examined by Judge Sloan. He was a worker in the third ward Tor some of the measures. He went to the first precinct polling place and he said that about one o'clock conditions seemed serious. There was a great crowd outside the polling place and on the sidewalk near the door. There were shouts of vote for this one or that one. | Conditions remained about the same l throughout the afternoon and when the polls were closed or the door was closed he with others who were then on the inside were forced out to make room for the reformed line of voters that pro- jected into the firehouse. But a great many outsiders remained, among them John Rock. Vance Johnson and many others.
 The witness was asked if he knew Bill Cleary. He said he did and he saw him displaying great activity about the polls He was asked if he had heard a remark by Mir Cleary. The at torneys for the contestant objected but Judge Campbell replied that it was de- signed to show what kind of an 'atmos phere' existed aDout the polls. He con- | tinued, saying that atmosphere had | appeared to cut an important figure in the Snowflake hearing. Judge Stanford permitted the question. The witness said that at six o'clock when there re- mained some question whether those in line could yet vote and when most of | them were Hunt men, Cleary had shouted: ''They, (the election board,) will let them vote or, by God, we'll blow 'em up.' MT. Merrill described at still greater length the activities in behalf of the former governor of Green and Quinnan.
 On cross examination the witness was asked if he was a republican. T am not he said; q am what we call down there, a Tom Campbell demo- crat."
 EIectioneers by Ballot Box
 Probably the strongest witness of the day was Lorenzo Wright. He was a resident of the fourth ward but he was | at precinct No. 1 at seven o'clock in the morning and the greater part of the afternoon. He said that all that time Louis Green was rustling votes for Hunt and the so-called slate consisting of Roberts for the state senate, and Foster, Cook, Francis and Mrs. Mckay for the lower house of the legislature. Quinnan was also so engaged.
 part of the time they were work ing just outside the fifty-foot limit and a part of the time close to the table on which the ballot box stood. Near the close of the polls, Green was in the line of voters, six feet from the box shouting: "All of you be sure and vote for Hunt" The witness said that when the door was closed there were in the room beside the voters in the line, Vance Johnson, John Rock, Tom Quinnan, Al Servoy, a Western Fed eration man, Ludwig the republican central committee chairman, w. B. Cleary, Louis Green and l.. B. Whit ney.
 The witness was asked regarding a poster he had recently seen in John Twcmey's place at Bisbee, known as ':'Tammany Hall" Objection was made to description of the poster on the ground that it had nothing to do with the election and did not contrib ute to atmosphere" The objection was sustained.
 The poster appeared on April 13, or at least bore that date, about the time witnesses were being sought for the contestee. It was as follows: If you are a Hunt man and hap pened to cast your vote for Arizona S Grand Old Man. in first ward Bisbee.
