 Wheeler said that the reason he did not divulge his plan for the de portation in the proclamation pub iished in the Review of July 12. 1917 was because he was confident that had the l. w. W. and their followers know of this plan there would have been serious trouble.
 After the men arrested had
 been placed in the ball park at
 Warren, three miles from Bisbee,
 said Wheeler, he and his deputies
 went among them and told them
 that only those men were going to
 be sent out of the district who
 would not agree to keep the peace
 in the district. Married men and
 men with property, he said, were
 requested to step out of the line.
 MT. French asked the witness if he did not know that Secretary Baker had stated that the production of copper in the Warren district was not essential for the prosecution of the war against Germany.
 ." have never heard that" said
 the ex-sheriff, "but l do know
 that General Pershing. when he
 visited Douglas not long ago,
 thanked the people for the man
 ner in which they kepi up the o-'
 put of the copper which he said
 was so necessary"
 The last hour of Wheeler's cross-ex- animation proceeded slowly County Attorney French, who had conducted the questioning of Wheeler since yes terday morning, spent a great deal of his time trying to ask Wheeler ques- tions and hear answers while A. A Worsley and George Roark. assistant prosecutors. laid down a barrage or whispered suggestions around French. Several times it appeared that all three of the states attorneys were at tempting to question the witness at once.
 Prosecution Taneles
 On one occasion Roark attempted 10 stop Wheeler from answering ques- tior put to him by MT. French. with the objection that he was not replying in the right form.
 "He's answering that question. let him finish" interjected w. II. BurSes. chief counsel for the defense.
 "I know him well enough to know  that he is not" objected Roark.
 You may be a clairvoyant. MT. Ro- ark. but I'm not" said the court. and Wheeler was directed to continue the answer which he had started.
 Roarks repeated objection to what he termed ''Wheeler's appeal to the jury" failed to result in any change in the manner in which Wheeler gave his testimony. Questioned as to II men who had returned from Columbus and whom Wheeler said he had arrested as slackers and had sent to the training camps, witness said he had sent them on to the army because he considered it his duty to do so. While Chairman of the draft board and sheriff Wheeler said, he had once released 16 young men. held in the county jail on ms demeanor charges. and sent them on to the army.
 You did that without any court or der releasing them?" asked French.
 'I did" replied Wheeler.
 You released them from jail with out any authority, knowing that you were violating the law?"
