DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept S.-RicharG Denning, who might be styled ''the man with the marvellous memory was the state witness during the matinee that opened the third weeks run of the preliminary hearing of the 200 Douglas and Bisbee citizens charged with kidnapping as a result of the deportations that followed the I. w. w. trouble in the Warren min. ing district two years ago last July Without the aid of a magic cabinet or any other stage paraphrenalia, and with nothing up either sleeve, ladies and gentlemen, Denning, from the witness stand in the center of the stage, described the actions and moves of more than 50 of the de- fendants. thus setting a new record for the states witnesses.
 Denning Now Champion Witness
 His appearance yesterday placed Denning, who had previously testified against more than a dozen of the de- fendants in the first 49 cases heard, at the head of the list as the states champion witness. All of the men against whom the witness testified were seen by him, he said, taking part in the deportations on July 12, 1917. Expecting that counsel for the de- fense would question Denning as to each man against whom the witness testified, the county attorney had only one witness ready to take the stand when Denning was through. The de- fense, however, asked the witness to identify but one of the many defend, ants named by him and then excused him.
 County Attorney Gets Surprise
 The county attorney had a second surprise during the afternoon ses- sion. After questioning Joe Kinkella, a Slovenian witness brought here from Silver Fell, Ariz., regarding the actions of the Warren district men who Kinkella said had seen taking part in the deportations, the county attorney was asked if he was aware of the fact that of the three named by the witness, not a single one was a defendant in the case now being heard. The county attorney after asking the court if this were true, decided that he made. a mistake.
 Inasmuoh as Kinkella had given di- rect testimony against the three men, Lawrence Ingram, who had never been arrested, w. Mitchell of Cana and Oscar Gilman, whose case was bound over to the superior court for trial more than three weeks ago, he was cross-ex- amined by counsel for the defendants. Kinkella said he was arrested on the morning of the day of the deporta- | tions in Lowell by men whom, he said. he did not know. KinkeIla said he asked these men, as they started to put him in line" if they would not let him ride out of the district on his motorcycle.
 Box Car For Austrian [. w. w.
 The men. however, according to | the witness, advised him well give | you a better ride than that" Rink | ella said he took the ride in a box car. The witness said that he had joined the l. W. w about a week before the deportations He was born under Austrian rule, he said, | and had only taken out his first papers.
 Three natives of England. Paddy J. Burns, Fred Penna and John R. Conner. were called as witnesses for the state during the session.
 Paddy Burns testified to having seen Jack Black. a mine shift boss of the Warren district. standing what the witness termed guard" in the baseball park at Warren during the deportations. Black was not armed . nor were the men he was with armed, admitted the witnesses. Burns also testified against Harry Finnotti. an other shift boss, whom he said, ar rested him and assisted in marching him from Bisbee to Warren.
