MEXICAN CONSUL WILL bE CITED
 FUR JURY NOTE
Remarkable Incident Makes
 Non-SensatiOnal Case One
 of Vital Importance to Local Mexican Colony

Addressing a written communication to iruy after it had begun it's delib erations. Francisco Peredo. Mexican consul. protested against alleged in- suits directed at his country and coun- trymen by George Purdy Bullard, coun- sel for c. l.. Chisholm, charged with the murder of Antonio Camoche, a well known Mexican resident.
 The note addressed to The gentle men of the jury in the case of the as sassin of the Mexican. Antonio Ca moche.' was placed in the hands of the bailiff by Tudalerio Estrada and Otilio Rosales. and the messengers and the Mexican consul will be cited for con- tempt this morning.
 The entire Mexican colony was aroused by statements made by Bull lard in his closing argument in which he declared that there would be fewer graves of murdered women and chil- dren in Columbus if Americans had withstood attacks and insults as had his client, Chisholm. He carried his argument still further intimating that there would be fewer American graves throughout Mexico had this same spirit been exhibited by other Americans. Still continuing on this line of argu- ment, he voiced the opinion that Mex ico could not cross the border and wipe out the United States
 The quickly tried and unsensational murder case took on a new phase as Bullarg argued, and at a late hour last night the town was buzzing with report of the attempted interference of the Mexican consul The word that such an attempt had been made was verified when the court convened at $40 o'clock, when the jury returned for instructions.
 The counsel for the defense asked that inquiry be made as to a commit nication attempted to be made to the jury by persons purporting to repre- sent the Mexican consul. The bailiff was questioned and delivered a note to the court, which, interpreted later. read as follows:
 "Gentlemen of the jury in the case of
 the assassin of the Mexican, Antonio
 Camoche.
 Sir: The Mexican colony finds itself greatly indignant in the phrases di- rected against Mexico and the Mexican citizens by the defender of the assas- sin of the citizen, Antonio Camoche
 As consul of Mexico and in the name of the assembled colony, protest Tn manner most respectfully. but at the same time energetically for the in suits directed in the course of the jury proceedings this evening against my 1 country and my fellow countrymen.
 The defender of the assassin of An. tonlo Camoche could have made a diff | Iefent defense without hurting the sen tlments Of friendly nation. which col ony has made it's contribution to the development of this state
 For the honor and justice that you represent gentlemen of the jury. I raise 10 you my voice calling your at tenuon over the fact that for the pur- pose of the defense of one man. a de- ! fender has not hesitated to insult a

are dependent upon the crop to be se-' cured.
 You are quite correct in saying that the government guaranteed price is minimum price, and in that re- spect it differs from last years which was fair price, meaning it was fair price between producer and consumer and administered this year on that ba- sis. By inference the government guaranteed minimum price as promul- gated by the president as representing a fair minimum price. is also fair price this year. but steps must be taken that the market should not greatly exceed that basis. If crop of 900.000, O00 bushels of [. $. A. wheat is se- cured. the problem of the government will be to carry out the wheat guaranty without letting it go below that basis and this introduces new range Of problems altogether which cannot De settled in advance
 "On May 31st 1 sent the following telegram to Mir. Barnes:
 "'Nineteen eighteen wheat in this section will begin to move next week. In view of the recent raise in freight rates, producers are. exceptionally apprehen sive over the situation and wire from you in response to my letter May 22nd conceding basis wheat terminals in Arizona and authorizing publicity of your statement on competitive prices would do much to clarify situation. No section has given better support to every patriotic appeal than Arizona in men, Liberty loan contributions and Red Cross support. Farmers in this section have been particularly helpful in this work and have responded to our appeals for increased production.'
 And on June l Mr. Barnes replies to the effect that the whole plan of wheat control for the coming year de- pended on interpretations awaited from Washington departments. and also on the progress of the whole wheat crop of the United States, and intimated that if the nation wide wheat crop con tinued to develop favorably. the Grain Corporation might be justified in relax ing many conditions and restrictions and possibly allowing such communi- ties as the Salt River Valley to handle their wheat crop on normal competi- tive basis. MT. Barnes also intimates

that it is very probable that the whole inter- mountain country can be pro- tected on a price of S2.00 per bushel minimum based at country stations. In his wire he stated:
 The anxiety of your early wheat producers is similar to that in all southern states. but it is impossible, until crop outturn is known and until interpretations of legislation are re- ceiVed, to say definitely what plan can be adopted and your dealers and pro- ducers will have to work along. day by day, as the situation develops until we can clear the whole plan, which we hope to do in the not distant future.
 And in concluding his telegram states;
 "'There are legal phases this year which were not present last year in that commercial operation because last year we operated on the guarantee Of the allies as merchants. and this year we operate on a legally established guaranteed minimum price
 There seems every indication from the very frank explanation of the intricate situation given by MT. Barnes that there is a strong probability that the farmers producing wheat in Ari zona can figure on a price on bulk wheat at country stations. of the early Bart variety, of s2.00 Der bushel, which would mean price of s3.33 1-3 per 100 pounds in bulk at shipping stations in Arizona. l understand that in Phoenix the millers have been rather uncertain what price to pay. but have recently been allowing %3.15l2 per 100 pounds. My advice to producers is to hold their wheat rather than to sell at this figure. as l am of the impression that aprice will be worked out in Arizona just alike to the producer and the consumer. which will be in the vicinity of S3.50 per 100 pounds. which. as matter of fact. was the price agreed upon at the conference of wheat growers and mill CTS November 2Sth. 1917"

Mrs. Campbell Held Owner of
 Famous Claim

Mrs. CarmeIita Campbell, the 76- year old widow of John G. Campbell, first congressional representative, is the owner of the Gila Monster claim in the Yuma mountain mining dis trict in this county.
 In the suit to quiet title brought by the Carmelita Mining and Mill ing company against Ida J. Burreil, Ernest King and Charles Subers, tried in Judge Lyman's court, the jury yesterday found for the plain tiff. The mines are owned by a group of Kansas business men and Mrs. Campbell, the latter is said is the largest stockholder in the com pany. Her interests and those of the other stockholders are being pro- tected by J. A. Marr, the mine superintendent.
 The little woman who at one time held the position of wife of one of the highest officials in the territory has met with many hardships since her widowhood.
 Had the jury yesterday found for the defendant she would have lost one of the most valuable claims in the group of mining claims she owns in the county.
 The mining company was repre- scented by Shepherd and Niles and the defendants by Robert S. Fisher.

 'I reiterate to you, gentlemen of the jury, my attentive consideration and respects.
 FRANCISCO PEREDO.
 Mexican Consul
 Counsel for the defense asked that Peredo and the two Mexican messen- gers be cited for contempt, and the same motion was made by the county attorney. Judge Stanford made the order. and it is understood that the consul Estrada and Rosales will ap- pear in division one of the superior court at 9:3O o'clock this morning.
 Developing from one of the least spectacular murder cases to one of at least city-wide interest. the case was one of the shortest tried murder cases on record in the county. It was shortly after ) o'clock yesterday that the fate of the 62-year-old Marinette rancher was placed in the hands of the jury. The jury was selected by noon on Mon day and by shortly after noon the fol- lowing day the evidence was all in and the counsel ready to submit their ar guments.
 One of the chief features of the case was the recital of the incidents leading up to the shooting of Camoche. a young Mexican employed at the Sam uel Majors ranch. where Chisholm act ed as foreman. He claimed that the Mexican was the aggressor, and in self defense he had used his automatic revolver to Eclnb' Camoclle1s In the scuffle that followed, the gun dis charged and the Mexican fell to the ground.
 Asked gain and again by the county attorney if it were not a fact that he pointed the gun at the Mexican and fired. the witness replied that he had not, adding, never on or off the wit ness stand would I tell lie. Mr. Coun- ty Attorney, even if the penitentiary stared me in the face"
