OUTLINE IN SAGE DEFENSE SEEN
 IN TESTIMONY
(Continued from Page Three)

party Ol lOul OA lANC WilOJ dPPdA Oillly hopeless of internecine control of in- ternecine strife, had accredited them selves a delegation to seek the as- sistance of the constituted authori- ties. A man named Florentino Rod riguez of their number acted as the spokesman and naturally conveyed his troubles in English when the par ty finally met Clarence Sage, whom they knew to be an officer. Unable to speak English, the witnesses, Gam du1 and Ruiz, declared they had heard Rodriguez telling Sage about the ruckus.
 Offer of Defense
 The sensation loving citizens who again crowded the gallery, woke up with a pleasurable start when the de- fense once more offered to prove cer- tain stories about the prosecutrix, the narrative of which would necessarily be too gaudy for the censor.
 This time there was measure of success in the defense offer, and tiles was permitted to relate how he had been told by several persons that l Mrs. Schendel was back in town" and conducting that age-old profes- sion that modern morality has made tabu, especially in certain distance  from an establshntent of the United States army. Giles said that on the evening of the night in question, he saw Mrs. Schendel meet an unknown nan of evident youth and spirit, and walk with him to the vicinity of the Sullivan hotel. The witness said he overheard Mrs. Schendel date" the man to come to the front door of the lotel and be let in little later. He said he watched and saw the man approach the door leading into a -oom directly in front of Mrs. Schen- | deps room, knock and gain instant admission. Mrs. Schendel had gone ,o her room by way of the lobby.
 Admits Routing Girl Out
 The witness admitted that he and Floyd, who had joined him at II o'clock, went to Mrs. Schenders -oom and routed her out of bed. After satisfying themselves she had no
 ompanion (this was about 1 to 2 l.. m.) Giles told her to undress again md go back to bed if she liked He iaid she didn't like.
 q am dressed now and I'm coming ut" she was said to have remarked.
 She did come out, according to the witness, but not under any compul-
 ion. Seeing that she was determined O go out in spite of the fact it was moving heavily, they concluded to ake her to the police station and here obtain a statement. On their way they met first Woods, who of- cred Mrs. Schendel the protection of lis friendship to the extent of bond, put was told by the officers no bond was involved as the woman was merely being taken for investigation. Woods, he said, asked the woman if he had been caught with anybody, and she informed him it was none of his business.
 Later, Giles said, in front of the Bank of Jerome, the party was ap- preached by Sage, who retailed to the officers the story of the friction be- tween members of the Virilla guest list and advised them to go on down to Mexican town and take hand ill | it. Giles said 1t was with some re- luctance that they left Mrs. Schendel on the street, but that he and Floyd had done so, walking rapidly to the Virilla residence.
 The cross-examination of Giles was quite searching. It eliminated in the clcse questioning of the witness as to why 1t was necessary to take Mrs. Schendel out so early in the morning ill order to get her statement. The witness answered, saying that the hour was all appropriate one to trans act that sort of business with a wo. man engaged in the traffic mentioned. The state then asked determinedly if, failing by reason of the Virilla en- gagement to secure the statement that night, they had taken steps to get it the next day. The witness said none had been taken. In fact. he said, as far as he knew, no statement was ever taken by the police from Mrs. Schendel.
 Giles did not escape the fate of many other witnesses in this trial. He had not been on the stand a great while before F. L. Haworth, who con- ducted his direct examination, had him making a map of the environs of the Hotel Sullivan, the better to ex- plain to the jury where and when he saw Mrs. SchendeI.
