about the 9th of May, 1918, take to your office after telephoning you, take to your office a copy of this document? A. don't remember. Q. You don't remember? A. had copy of that long before that, when | it first came out.
 Q. Wasn't it just about then? A. l don't remember.
 Q. You say you had it long before A. had it before that time, because l had a copy in my office when that man came out there.
 Admits He Was There. c. He came there and brought you copy and you immediately sent your automobile and got one thousand copies, did you not, for your own use {. A. For my own use-I will state
 c. Sir, answer my question. A. What is it?
 Q. am asking you if you did not send your automobile to the l. w. w. headquarters in the city of Phoenix. Arizona, and obtain one thousand copies of this document, 'Is Freedom Dead?"
 By MT. Laney: If you were col AOCllAlS AdAd lOl lAAC AA the time. why
 By Mir. Campbell: We object to that.
 By Mir. Laney: If you were, you do not have to answer that.
 By Mir. Sloan: I object to counsel for the state instructing the witness as to what or how he should answer; it is the province of the Court to in struct the witness, not of the states counsel
 By the Court: What date was it you have referred to?
 By Mir. Campbell. On or about the 9th of May, 19IS
 "Ain't 1 in the Law"
 A. Yes, he-I think right now 1 am going to refuse to answer any ques- tion about this point; my counsel ought to object, and I will tell you the reason why.
 By MT Campbell. If the Court please, I think it is contumatious for this witness; he has no right to talk this way in a court of justice; he cannot put himself up above the law.
 By the witness: I am not trying to. Judge, afn't l in the law?
 By the Court: l have no objections to the governor making statements.
 By MT. Campbell: But tine de- fendant in this case has some rights.
 By the Court: Yes, that is true.
 Hunts Lip Patriotism.
 By the Court: If there going to be this showing made, are you going to show and connect up that by vir- tue of taking papers and literature of the I. w. w. that then there is a lack of loyalty on the part of the governor; is that the idea?
 By Mir. Campbell. No, want to say this
 By the Court: It may not be rele- want then.
 By Mir Campbell: It is entirely relevant, and I want to say this: want to show this whole attitude. He has testified. here that he stands squarely behind the president of the United States and has acclaimed at some great length as to his loyalty, and I want to show this, and he has stated on that ground that he could not have made the statement that MT. Lawrence said he made. Now, want to show his whole attitude of mind that his patriotism is large lip patriotism, and his attitude of mind has been such that he may very well have said. and the probabilities are that he very likely did say what we have published. and we have a lot or stuff that we are going tD put before your honor and before this jury for this purpose. That is not an isolated thing at all.
 O. Governor, l don't think 1 had a direct answer as to whether Mir Me Mullan. the secretary of the local l. w. W.s brought this to your office or not. a copy of this on or about the 9th day of May, 1918? A. Well, l cont remember; it has been a long time since he was. but as l said before he brought that here, 1 had already re- ceived one through the mail.
 c. So you don't recall now whether he did or did not. as I understand? A. Whether what?
 o. You do not recall now whether he did or not? A. Well. don't know but what he did; I don't recollect that, but l know that he said he had it, and l told him that ] already had one and had got it through the mail.
 Dodges the Question.
 e. And didn't-and did you not then send your automobile and obtain a thousand copies approximately from the L w. W. headquarters? A. Not then. no.
 e. When did you do that? A. If I remember right. he went down to his office day or two afterwards and called up and said he had a package that was there and ne would hold them for me
 e. And how much did you pay him for them? A. ! didn't pay him a cent.
 e. Did you not pay him twenty dol lars? A l did not. not a cent.
