Limitations on the part of counsel that Attorney Carl Foster, acting States Attorney was coaching the witness were also made. Judge Eos ter at one time remarked to an ob- jection by Attorney Coeller.

 Attorney William H. Lewis, coun- sel for the defense in the Baby Doll'' murder trial, conducted one of the longest cross-examinations in the history of the court when Sergeant James Burns took the stand this morning at 10 o'clock to testify for the state in the Criminal Superior court. Questions were put point blank to the witness as to whether he knew, or had any knowledge what ever that he was charged with the murder of Pannill. Sergeant Burns replied he had not.
 Norris Pannill on his death bed statement had said that it was a po- liceman who had shot him because af- ter the shot had been fired he turn ed around and saw a policeman with the gun. It was a .32 calibre bullet that had been found in his body, and at the cross-examination this morn ing, Attorney Lewis requested that Burns gun of .32 calibre be exhibit ed to the state. Judge Foster must have misunderstood the Attorney, be- cause he objected to having the gun given to Lewis.
 q don't want the gun" replied At | torney Lewis. "Oh, no, I have plen- | ty of guns at home"
 1 One of the striking features of the cross examination was the fact that Burns could not remember any thing that he had, said at the coroner's in | quest. Statements made by him were
 read by Attorney Lewis and Burns was asked if he remembered the an swer given or that he had made such | statements before the coroner, and
 his replies for the greater part were 1 "No"

 who had a .S2 calibre gun. he re-
 piled he did not know. There were three shots fired through the third

 On the night of the murder, Petro Petitto, now in the army, was arrest ed by Lieutenant Peter Hall, and charged with the crime. After being held a year he was brought before the May term of the Superior Court and the charge was nolled. Sansone was sought for high and low, but had dis appeared.
 No information could be got out Of Petitto. although when arrested he was found to be rather dangerously wounded, and was identified as being the man who fired the fatal shot at London, by Lucy Gamizzi, who was also wounded in the affray which started in the Fulton street house.
 According to the information given out by the police, the trouble started over the woman, Lucy Gamizzi, and it is said that Petitto left the house and went in search of Sansone, who is reputed to be a professional gum man. Finding him it is said he in- duced him to accompany him back to the Fulton street address and tho shooting immediately followed.
 In the confusion which followed Sansone disappeared, and tn first. of fcial on the scene was Lieut.. Hall, who happened to be in the neighboT- hood at the time. Upon arriving at the house he found Daniel Londo, or LalIio in bed moaning and pulling down the covers on the bed discov-

 Did you mean to tell the jury that Pannill was shot in the hall way, or ficer?"
 "This is my belief"

 Attorney Lewis seemed very much interested as to why Burns did not go to the hospital to see the dying man. in order to identify him. The ser geant stated that he had been at the ooroner's inquest and could not go.
 The attorney grew very much ex- cited at this point and emphatically asked him if that was the only req son; if it was not the fact that he fearei the dying man might identify him: or if it was not the guilty con- science that kept him away. To all questions the sergeant replied that it was not so.
 When questioned if he had any grudge against Thomas, he said he had not. He had however, struck Baby Doll" Thomas with his club after he had been handcuffed and placed in the patrol wagon between two policemen. He did not contradict his statement, although he said that I he had not struck him in the head, but in the face.
 Questions regarding the manner in which the Keystone club was con ducted, if it was incorporated, or if it was a licensed place, were objected to by Judge Foster and Judge Reed noted them, stating that these facts should not be brought up.
 Up to noon hour the cross -examina- tion had not been completed. Attor- ney Coeller, assistant counsel for the defense, resumed the questioning af- ter Attorney Lewis finished. Ques- tions leading to the shooting of the man were main features, but hardly anything seemed to have been an- swered satisfactorily.
 Sergeant Burns, it seems, gave the order to the other policemen to shoot any one who attempted to leave the doors of the club or the restaurant. His purpose was to get more police men on the scene and have the crowd arrested. He said he did not remem- Der where he shot or at whom he shot.
 When his .32-calibre bullets gave out he sent for more. The battle went on for a, long time with nearly SO police men, trying to get the crowd into the hands of the law.

 Going out on the street, he was told that a man had fled up the street toward Main and High and he gave chase. Arriving on High street he saw two men coming out of Petittis house and accosting them he was told that Petitti was sick and was being helped to the doctor. Upon closer scrutiny he discovered that Petitti was wounded. He immediately placed him under arrest and charged him with shooting Londo.
 A gun corresponding in size to the bullet which killed Londo. was after ward found in Petitti's rooms by Lieu tenant Barton, who was engaged with Lieutenant James Dooley and Ser geant James Bray upon the case.
 With the collapse of the case against Petitti, the chase after San some, which was never relaxed, was redoubled and a couple of days ago the detective bureau was rewarded by getting the word that their man was at last located. Leaving Bridge port, Lieutenant Detective Dooley and Detective Sergeant Bray arrived in the Kentucky metropolis last night and had their man in custody half an hour after arriving.

BIsBEE's NON-PARTISAN TICKET.
Douglas Internationally

Bisbee is off on the right foot in the mat ter of proposing that in the city election to be held there in May there shall be non partisan action. An organization has been perfected and a ticket composed of strong and efficient men have been named for mayor and councilmen in the several wards. These men have never agreed, politically, but they have always agreed on the ques- ton of the welfare of Bisbee and have al- ways worked in harmony for that welfare There is no reason why politics should be allowed to enter into city elections or city government Of course, there will perhaps always be democrats and republicans in elections for congressmen and presidents, but there IS no reason why good men, who are willing to serve municipalities should be tabooed because they are either demo- crats or republicans. Bisbee has always been fighting ground for both parties and neither have ever been able to claim domi- nance sure in any past election, but now with the leaders of both the old parties out for non-partisan ticket we can see where that ticket will go over the top with whoop.

ALIVE AT LAST.
{ Tombstone Prospector.)


 For years the Tucson Star has been 'ossi- fled" But it has come to life and from now on will be real live publication all be- cause it now has an editor who we believe is unafraid. We refer to the new editor, 'Brick" Clark, who is a brick by name and nature, and he has started in by taking the bull by the horns The bull in this instance is young Harold Steinfeld, who, up to just lately has been known more for his 'good-fellowship and pink tea" pro- pensities than for his ability, usefulness or need as business man in the commercial life of Tucson The Star now questions whether or not Tucson will go to the bow VOWS should he be taken to the front by his Uncle Sam. Steinfeld is trying to evade the draft by being placed in class four in- stead of class one, and all Tucson Is very much worked up over the fight that is be- ing waged to keep this millionaire kid at home while the sons of the common people go to the battle line to give up their lives for democracy. On every tongue you can hear in Tucson: "Is Harold Steinfeld any better than the working man son?' And that he IS NOT IS the almost universal opinion in the Old Pueblo. As for his need around the establishment of his father. it Is to laugh He was never missed until he was discov- cred actually running around the establish ment like he was doing something; previ- ous to this he put in his time running around in an auto or attending pink teas.
 If Harold Steinfeld gets out of class one in the draft 1t Is said that something serious may take place in Tucson. The people there are in no mood to stand for rich man s son being transferred from the class he belongs to one he does not belong in. It Is said Mark Smith has refused absolute ly to use his influence to hel this young millionaire and we congratulate Mark Smith, who has the happy faculty of nearly always being right. We congratulate Brick Clark, and his revived, rejuvenet- ed and reincarnated Tucson Star in the at tempt to make the dollars of millionaire of no more value than the cents of the poor men in Tucson.

When it IS conducted along practical bus mess lines and yet is generous and broad in its policies, building and loan association Is in class by itself as a town builder and promoter of human happiness. In the news columns of today's Review Is a brief ac- count of something that the Warren Dis trict B. and L. association has accimplish- ed here in the last few years. But the real story of the good it has done will never be told. Words cannot set forth all the bene- fits accruing to our citizens and our dis trict by this institution. Not only has 1t enabled many men working for wages to build and own their homes and thus save considerable money every year, but 1t has made them better and happier and more contented citizens of the district. The man who owns his home Is more reliable, more independent, more public spirited and more dependable citizen in every way than the man who does not He spends his spare time improving his property; plant ing his yard to either flowers or radishes fixing his fence; adding porch; painting the roof He has assumed an obligation. He is saving money. He has pride in pos session. In other words, the Building and Loan association has not only helped him in a material way. but it has planted the seeds of economy in his system; it has kindled ambition in his heart and changed the at mosphere of his home life for the better as regards happiness and contentment Every new house built in block adds to the value of the rest of the property in that block. and every improved block in town adds to the value of property generally in that town. This newspaper has printed no article in its columns for a long time with more pride and pleasure than it presents this re- view of the work of the Warren Building and Loan association.

Books, pamphlets, leaf lets, tonnes, rolls, reels and reams of stuff covering every subject in the universe are being sent broadcast in shower of paper like snowfall .One-fiftieth of this stuff is of some value. The other forty-nine- fifieths had just as well have been printed in Chinese for all the good it will do. Hun dreds of tons of this matter Is being sent cut from congressional and government sources over rails that are needed for troops and food trains and at an expense that would make many guns and uniforms and ships for purposes of war. There are too many publicity agents on the job.
