 FRAUD-REEKING PRECINCT,
 DOUGLAS NO. l, THROWN OUT
 PHOENIX, March 24. - Judge Stanford without waiting for Judge
 Sloan to finish placing all his wit. nesses on the stand signihed his in- tention this afternoon of being ready to rule on Douglas precinct No. 1 which has been under investigation for the past ten days.
 Both sides submitted their case without arguments. The court grant cd the motion to strike out the 123 majority for Hunt in the precinct for two reasons, the testimony of H. H. Hart and Art Pearson themselves about going into the election booth with voters and the fact the election officers lived outside the precinct.
 He announced he would disregard the numerous newspaper articles in the State as to the fact that he was a Democrat and that Campbell was very popular in this county and the effect of the decision in regard to this precinct on the general result in the election. He also stated that the fact that Picket, the successful candidate for presidential elector on the Demo cratic ticket had assisted in the can vass would also have been sufficient to throw out the precinct.
 Senator Ives renewed his motion to amend his pleadings so as to include the question of fraud in the precinct of Snowflake. Navajo county, where it has been said one committeeman showed some women how to vote for prohibition. This precinct gave Camp bell a majority of 1l6. and Ives is to submit an affidavit what he can prove on Monday, when the court will rule.
 The attorneys for Governor Camp bell stated to the court that if this motion is granted that upon the com pletion of the investigation of Snow flake they would desire to introduce six or more additional precincts where similar assistance was given voters. One of these is in Greenlee, two in Yavapai, one in Mojave and one an additional Douglas, Cochise county precinct, all of which gave Hunt ma jorities.
 Two more witnesses were examined today on their knowledge of what transpired in Detective Holther's room in a Douglas hotel the afternoon of March g. J. B. Ryan, the stenog- rapher who was in the next room talk ing down the conversation in short hand, was the first witness called this morning. Ryan testified that his notes were absolutely correct and that they contained nothing but what he actually heard himself. He ad- mitted that parts of the conversation escaped his ears but his notes indicat- ed where this occurred.
 C. A. Overlook, former United States marshal, who was concealed in l the bathroom when Hart is alleged to have made number of discriminating | under the impression that he was talking to a Hunt detective in the person of Detective Holther, tes- flied that he heard the greater portion of the conversation. Judge Sloan read he transcribed notes of Ryan, asking | Overlook if he heard the question put by Holther and the answer given by Hart. With the exception of five Of six, Overlook testified that the ques- ion and answers were substantially The others, he said, he could lot hear from his concealnent in the ,othroom.
 When Senator Ives started his he sought to con- use the witness by mixing up the questions and answers. Overlook was oo positive as to what he had heard O be trapped and never failed to give Tn intelligent and correct reply. When .ves asked the witness if he had heard iolther ask Hart: Did you rub out he heavy marks and write over the fight crosses?" Overlook replied promptly that Holther did not ask the question but that Hart made such tatement. Ives became angry when le failed to mix up the witness and insisted that he asked the proper question. The record showed Over ock to be correct.
