Arizona republican., 1919-05-10

noticed that Hoctor had been acting sulky and would hardly speak to me. ] bought a paper and sat down without noticing my neighbor and after a. while l looked up and saw that it was Hoe tor. l spoke to him "Mr. Hector you seem to be d little suIky since I de ctded the case against you and I don't sec Why. If you spoke to your lawyer about it he would tell you I had decided the case the way the law compelled me. I don't blame you for deciding the case the way you did, but Yer kamp used the law as Q means of rob- blnS me Hoctor said to which I made reply, Why l thought you were satis- lied, you were the one who wanted the compromise!'
 lt was my proposition but I had to make 1t, Hector told me as we sat there talking, said Judge Crosby "The subject turned to Newman and when his name came up Hector said, That son of - worked on Verkamp and tried to make trouble between Nerkamp and me-you saw him fol- lowing around after Verkamp. didn't you?" I told him I did not think New man would try to make trouble between man and his partner and I remember ], said that Newman was naturally a gooG man, to which Hector retorted that Nature made him a son of a -" ]" He seemed revengeful and declared he had been Wronged and would get even'
 Judge Crosby stated that he left Hector and went up 10 his room. Thinking over the conversation he de cided he had better return and try to reason with Hoctor
 "I went up to Hector and told him 1 did not like to see him feeling about the matter the way he did and exhibit ing so much temper. You didn't have anything much when you went into this partnership with Verkamp and now you have a pretty good stake. You ought to think that you have a good start now and feel better about this I said to him. He seemed resentfuL I didn't do any better out of it than Yerkamp did. Verkamp gave me ------ wherever he could in this deal. and has acted the son of a all the way through. I reminded him that he was unreasonable about this thing and that he was going to raise sheep and be neighbors to those people and to drop it.
 Well Newman IS d dirty son of q
 and he did all he could to make it worse" l expressed my Surpf1Se Tn hearing him talk of Newman in that manner and told him had known him by reputation tor q long time and that he bore a good reputation. Seeing that 1t was of little use to argue with him I did not say any more

Gray, sheepman of Flagstaff and Phoenix: Frank Wallace, sheepman, states witness and David Goldberg, local merchant, all testified to the good reputation borne by New man. John Hennessy stock man de- clared that NeWman's reputation was good while Hector was always known to be more or less Quarrelsome.
