. be subjected to the annoyance of crowd of deputy sheriffs and county officials"
 The matron of the Y. w. c. A. when asked for a statementof the case last night, said: 'I felt that the Y. w. c. A. should offer it's services to Miss Berry We had a comortable room with bath provided for her, where she could have, the needed attention and care. I visited Miss Berry last evening, and after talking to her, asked if she would like to be moved from the hotel to the room prepared for her at the Y. W. c. A. She replied that she would if they Sheriff Me Donald and officials) would allow her to, as her room was small and not we'll ventilated for a sick chamber. I then asked MT. Mcdonald if she could be removed. He consented, and I supposed that everything was fixed for her transfer. The next 1 heard was that Mir. Mcdonald had withdrawn his consent, and had called Dr. Walker in, who stated that if she was able to be removed to the Y. w. C. A. she was able to proceed to Phoenix" Continuing, the .matron said: "I felt that the Y. w. c. A. was the place for Miss Berry, and we were only too glad to help the young lady When I talked to her she as sured me that she was "a good girl" and would like to come to the quar- ters which we had fixed for her"
 Mcdonald Explains.
 Sheriff Mcdonald, when inter viewed last night concerning the situ- ation that had arisen, said: 'T called Dr. Walker in to examine the young lady to see t%at she was noE doped, and to see what her condition was. I placed a deputy sheriff on guArd so that there would be no chance for any one to pull anything"
 When Sheriff Mcdonald was ques toned as to what action would be taken in the case of Deputy Sheriff F. W. Brown, who is alleged to have written the not, as well as violated all laws of decency by locking him. self in the room of the young glrl~at Douglas, replied that Brown had been appointed a deputy sheriff at the re- quest of the county attorney, that he was not empowered to make arrests, and that if it was not for the 1Hkt that the county attorney had re- Quested it he would never have depu- tized Brown, and that he could not revoke Browns commission unless the county attorney would request 1t.
 Can't Fire Brown.
 "I do not wish to interfere with the county attorneys appointee. He requested that our office furnish Brown with protection. Inasmuch as we could not furnish bodyguard to protect Brown, we could only depu- tize him. It was only for the pur- pose of giving him authority to serve subpoenas, and his deputy sheriffship did not include the power of mIKing arrests or using his position in any other way than stated"
 A statement was received last night too late for press from ex-Deputy Sheriff Farmer which will be printed il full in tomorrow's Review He charges the whole affair is a frameuv and that he is being made the goat in the matter. MT. Farmer stated last night that he did not tell F. w Brown that he had to sleep in the same room with the girl, as Brown stated to the girl. MT. Farmer said "All that I told Brown to do was to guard the girl and bring her to my office the next morning. I absolutely never intimated or stated to Brown that he was to sleep in the same room with the girl. I am bein made the goat in the matter, and further more, I wish to state that any man who would take advantage of a girl | prisoner or any prisoner such as am charged with should have full ! punishment meted out to him. I, how ever, want complete investigation made, and the facts made public, az I know that my actions will exonerate me. This whole affair came like a | stroke from the sky. l returned from the Mescal Gap country to find this condition of affairs and charges, which are absolutely untrue Every statement made against me is false, and I can substantiate every state ment that have made" Cincluding the fact that never gave Brown such orders as he told Miss Berry he had received from MT. Parmer).
 Public opinion last night was unan. imous that Sheriff Mcdonald and County Attorney French, in the in terests of decency, should immedi ately revoke F. w Browns commis sion, and in case Mir Brown was nee essary for the conduct of cases now occupying the county attorneys at tention, make him a clerk
