GOV. HUNT GR|LLED IN BREEN TRIAL;
SAYS He DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER Or
NOT WOBBLIES ARE D|SLOYAL To l, 5,

turmoil and strife of politics."
Hunt said he might have written
hat letter but avoided a direct an
5wer. He demanded to know where
the attorney had secured this personal
correspondence and intimated that he
might prosecute.
Campbell then produced the orig
inaI letter written on the governors
official stationery.
County Attorney Laney continue,
ously objected to the introduction of
all this evidence as immaterial. At
torney Campbell, backed by former
Governor Richard E. Sloan and Judge
E. M. Doe, argued that it was mater
ial as it showed the governors state
of mind and proved that it was en-
tirely possible for him to have made
the assertion "To hell with the war"
and to have expressed deep interest
in the bolsheviki, as quoted in the
alleged libelous article.
FdVorlte Picture
The defense introduced copy of
pamphlet entitled "Is Freedom
Dead?' which was issued by the wob-
blies on trial at Chicago who have
since been convicted of sedition and
disloyalty and who are now in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth.
Ty, in
duced a picture of Hunt, Charles Nc
Kinnon and Grover H. Perry, the two
latter being defendants in the Chi
cago trial. In speech at Tucson,
Hunt said that the picture was taken
at Columbus, N. M. while he was
there investigating the Bisbee depor-
equivocation, he said it was taken at
: his home. He also admitted taking
1000 copies of the pamphlet to his
home and said that some of them are
there yet. He denied paying anything
for this wobbly literature.
The Sinclair Letter
The defense introduced a letter
| from Hunt to Upton Sinclair, the
noted socialist writer, subscribing for
Sinclair's magazine for the Univer-
sity of Arizona, the two Normal
! schools and other state institutions.
A blank claim against the state was
enclosed.
The governor did not give any rea-
son for supporting Sinclair's publica-
| tion at the state expense except that
he had long admired Sinclair as a
writer.
Campbell read extracts from subse-
quent issues Of Sinclairs magazine
which, he said, were plainly disloyal.
In one, it was charged that America
was paving the way for the ruling
classes in England, France and Italy
| to seize German property.
Hunt was asked if he approved
these utterances. Laney objected to
this question and was sustained by
the court, but Hunt admitted that he
had never cancelled the subscrip-
/ tions.
Couldn't Remember
The witness could not remember
having visited the wobbly headquar-
ters in Phoenix, but admitted taking
one of the leaders named Payne in
the state car to the penitentiary.
He said that Charles F. Tannehill,
well known L w. w. organizer had
been employed at the penitentiary as
guard.
Not a Member
Are you a member of the l. W.
W." Hunt was asked.
81 am not'', he exploded.
do you regard the I. W. W. as a
disloyal organization? was the next
question.
Laney objected violently to this
question but the court ruled that
Hunt must answer
81 don't know" he replied in the
lowest tone he had used in the course
of the day.
The defense produced letter writ
ten by Hunt to Dwight B. Heard on
May in which he said that the fed
