 Witness said that he had known the Stephens family for many years. He had lived m the same settlement with them. He had never had any trouble with them before.
 Sid Marks On the Stand
 Sid Marks was then called and told in a very circumstantial way the var ious details of the fatcful ride to the Stephens ranch.
 Preliminary questioning clicited the facts that he had lived in Arizona for l5 years. He had been in Nava- pal county 3 years, most of the time on the ranches in the Williamson Valley. He had worked on the Stcph- ems ranch for a month the summer of 1917 helping with the having. He had had no disputes or fights with any of them and they were all per fectly good friends.
 He explained that Orvillc BoZarth, Bob Miller and another Of the boys on the i1ildrcth ranch had decided to quit. So he had decided to quit, too. It was necessary for him to go back to the ranch to get his time be- cause he had been hired by Bob Miller and ii would be necessary for him to get Miller to OK his state ment as to the days he had worked. He was with Marlowe when they met Mrs. Stephens at the plaza. She had asked Marlowe 10 go up to the Nendome and sec Joe, explaining that Stephens was very drunk He talk ed with Mrs. Stephens awhile. He had seen her again in front of the B. E. She wanted to know if he had seen Joe or Bud.
 He had later told Mrs. Stephens that he was going out to William son Valley with Marlowe It was at her request that she accompanied them
 As they were driving back to pick up Mrs. Stephens after rescuing the booze from the rocks of Murphy drive, they had passed Bud Stephens with some folks in his car. He had shouted to Bud: ~Arn't you going out:"
 Bud had yelled back: "Yes."
 Marks story was essentially the same as that told by Marlowe as to the details of the trip 10 the Stcph- eus ranch and the subsequent stops at the Wimbcrly place and the Hid reth ranch. He thought they had stopped an hour at the HildTcth place. Mrs Stephens had remained in the car.
 It was only after they had talked quite while that Miller had con scented to go into town with them.
 Marks told of the start back to town and of their having stopped when the Stephens car came up be- hind them footing its horn. In sub stance he described what followed as follows:
 Roughing It On the Road.
 Bud ran up to our car.
 Joe said something about shoot ing.
 Bud said: Here's the s- of a b- I want and went for Marlowe and hit him in the back of the head knocking him down.
 By this time Joe Stephens was out Of the car.

 Joe Stephens yelled at me: Stop or I'll shoot yOu.'
 "I thought he might try to kill mo so I grabbed him and searched him. l found no weapons.
 Miller had got around to the front Of the car by this time. Bud Stcph- ems started towards him. Bud said: What in hell are you doing hcrc?' Bud had the auto crank in his hand. I jumped for Bud and grabbed him. I then took the auto crank away from him and put it in the Stephens car. Then I came back to the Marlowe car. Bud and Miller were still spatt- ing. | told them 10 shut up.
 Joe Stephens was at the side of Marlowc's car yelling for Mrs. Steph- ems 10 get out He said: Get out of this car you d. old p-- b.. Mrs. Stephens told them she would not get out"
 Stephens also yelled: Don't you ever come back on my ranch again.
 Marks here told of vulgar word that had been used at the time He testified that Bud had been yelling too. repeating the things after the father had said them.
 II was here that Marks testified to the language on the part of Stephens and Bud that occasioncd the outbreak by Stephens, senior.
 When quict had been restored and the examination was able to proceed Marks was asked what Bud had said to Miller when he saw him in front Of the car. He answered:
 Bud said What the h. are you doing here.
 Miller replied T. C. haven't l got a right on the public rosd:'
 Mrs. Stephens protested that she did not want to get out of Marlowc', car. She said to me: Sid I don't want to ride with them. They arc both drunk and they might kill me
 Joe Stephens had said to her: 'Wcl you won't ride a foot in that car.
 Bud said. "Shc won't ride in that car"
 "I got into the car then. They started for it. Then they stopped
