 Candidate Present
 Mir. Carretto said that early in the day John Rock, a member of the
 board of supervisors and a candidate
 for reelection, and Vance Johnson, chairman of the board of supervisors,
 came to the polls and were there a greater part of the day. Rock is a resident of Tombstone, but Vance, though a resident of Bisbee, lives in
 the third ward. In the course of the afternoon Johnson told Roscoe, the democratic judge, that he was too slow and directed Allie Howe, of Tomb stone, to take his place. After he had served an hour he quit and Roscoe resumed his place. Attorney L. B. Whitney for a time acted as clerk and monitor for the board. MT. Whitney was not resident of the ward either. One reason for the frequent changes in the personnel of the board was the departure of it's members for their re- spective precincts to vote.
 Prescott for a year for burglary and the polling place but was temporarily withdrawn to make room for City Mar shal James Allison, who described it at length and made a line drawing of it. Mr Carretto, when he resumed, said that half hour before six o'clock the election marshal proclaimed the clos ing of the polls, another proclamation was made fifteen minutes later and another at six o'clock. At that time there was long line of voters extend- ing along the side walk and a question arose as to whether they could vote after six o'clock. Vance Johnson de- cided that if they were all under roof they might vote. Accordingly the line was shifted from the sidewalk so that it extended from the ballot box across the room, across an open space, and into the fire department. The last vote was cast at 6:22.
 On cross examination, Mr. Carretto said that the board had frequently | asked the legal opinion of MT. Whitney because he was a lawyer. He said he had confidence in him. You took his
 word" said MT. Struckmeyer, just as you would have taken the word of MT. Ellinwood, if he had been there? to which the witness assented "Or Bill Cleary?" ''Yes," said MT. Car retto, with diminished enthusiasm "Or S. K. Williams?" suggested MT Struckmeyer. "No." shouted the wit ness most decidedly.
 MT. Carretto was asked if he had | not told MT. Whitney that everything l was all right in Precinct No. l. T | did not" replied the witness. MI l Whitney came to me and asked me to | make an affidavit and I told him that
 I would not, as I was going to Phoenix ] to tell what 1 knew. But I told him
 that I knew of no fraud or crooked
 ness.''
