Especial to The review,

DOUGLAS, Sept. 6.-Tomorrow aft ernoon's session of court here will open what is expected to prove the closing week in the joint preliminary hearing of the 200 Douglas and Bisbee citizens charged with kidnapping for the parts they are alleged to have taken in the deportatiOns of July F, 1917.
 1t was reported today that the county attorney had but fourteen more witnesses to call for the state and, at the rate of examination es- tablished during the two weeks that the hearing has already been in prog ress, these should complete their tes- timony by Thursday or Friday. It is not believed that any witnesses will he introduced by the defense in the cases now under way. As soon as the joint hearing is finished several other individual cases will be called Including those of Harry c. Wheeler, who. as sheriff of Cochise county, di- rected the deportations, and John J. Bowen, prominent auto dealer and county highway commissioners of Bis bee.
 Intereet Centers in Wheeler.
 Wheeler-s hearing is expected to prove one of the most interesting held so far. as he has repeatedly stated that he considered hiInserf personally responsible for the deportations and actions of the citizens deputized on July F. 1917.
 What the next move of the county attorney and the individuals who are so vigorously urging the prosecutions will be after the hearings of all the men already under bond are complet- ed Is not known The county attor- ney has stated in court during the de- portation hearings tha, ne had the names and evidence against many more citizens charged with participat- ing in the deportations, but it is not known whether or not any further complaints will be>filed until at least some of the cases already completed have been tried in the superior court.
 Disappolnts on Sensational Side.
 So far. the big pre~ninary hearing has proved a disappointment to spec tators who have attended the sessions during the last two weeks Predic- tiops that the blanket warrant cases would bring out sensational testi- mony from witnesses for the state have failed to come true, for the ma ioritv of testimony offered by the county attornev's witnesses has been almost identical with the first AZ cases bound over to the superior court for trial last month upon their own request.
 Men Net in District Accused.
 Fom the number of cases dismiss ed for lack of evidence. 1t would ap- pear that the men who are so eager to see the prosecutions pressed, filed information against every man whom they remembered to have seen on July 12. 1917. And several men were arrested who were not even fin the Warren district on the day Of the de- portations. Several Of the states witnesses have testified to their be lief that there were only two classes of people in the entire district during the deportations: those who were be- ing deported and those who were as- sisting in deporting them. They re- fused to admit it possible that any man who was not ueported did not take part in the deportations.
