fendants accused of Kidnapping in connection with the Bisbee deporta tions of 9117, attorneys said it was likely most of the cases never could go to trial for lack of jurors. Two xenires of 300 men have been eX- hausted.
 Court adjourned until Tuesday with tentative jurors in the box.
 Lawyers said that because of the great proportion of xemptions not more than six cases could be tried n this county through lack of jurors. Under Arizona laws, the state can not ask for a change of venue to another county, this right existing only with the defense. If the defense demand separate trials for all the ac- cused, juries coul1 .;ot be obtained lawyers said. and more tral two hundred defendants automatically would go free, or their cases remaiI, on the criminal calendar ,un iind.
 T Tlere are only zoo possible Jurors in the county but it was estimated that 50 per cent are employees of the defendant companies and thus dis qualified.
