TOMBSTONE, Feb. 20. Contrary to reports from deputy sheriffs Thursday. only 35 per cent of the last panel of 300 answered to their names when court opened this afternoon. After an adjournment since Satur day, tn fact that securing jurors to hear the case of H. E. Wotton l charged with kidnapping for the part heis alleged to have played in the Warren district deportations July ! 12. 1917, is becoming more difficult with each drawing is apparent to both sides Of the three hundred named on the panel one hundred and twenty-three, were served and, ow- ing to the condition of the roads, only IF reported. Of this number ,53 were excused on the ruling on employees of the defendants and IS others excused for various reasons. This reduces the number left from which to select the five jurors need ed to complete the 'venire to 46.
 Thirteen of the new panel were eN- amined during the afternoon's session today Twelve of those examined were excused when they admitted that they were biased and could not give a fair and impartial verdict When court adjourned D. H. Smith, cattleman from near Wilcox, was stiu on the stand. Smith said he did not know much about the deporta- ton cases and had not formed an opinion one way or the other. George ROarke. assistant county attorney, who conducted the examinations to-
 .T.Es., C II, Smith until he intimated that he was against strikes, especially the man ner in which most labor organiza- tions conducted them.
 "TheE you dc not believe that man has the right to striker He asked Smith.
 '1f he isn't satisfied with his wages and conditions he ought to quit the way they do on the farms,' Smith replied.
 Further questioning brought Ou the Tact that Smith was not opposed to Union men but was disposed to look unkindly upon strikes in general. At , o'clock Smith was still on tho stand and Roarke announced to the court that he desired to have A. A. Worsley, in charge of the prosecu- ton during the absence of county attorney French. continue the exam. ination tomoTrow morning.
 Progress in the examination of the jurors was slow this afternoon. Ro- arek desired to learn the life hI,, tory of each Of the jurors taking the stand before he questioned them re garding their opinions concerning sthe deportations. Tn several in stances he apparently made an ef fort 10 get a juror to retract his statement regarding fixed opinion and. as a result, only 13 were reach ed during the session. Attorney Worsley will be presen, tomorrow and it is expected that the entire panel will be examined before noon.
 T. is apparent to both sides that another panel will be necessary be- fore the venire is complete. The average maintained throughout the trial has been approximately one juror to eveiy 60 men examined. II was intimated by both the state and defense that two jurors already pass ed would be recalled and challenged
 With the excusing of R. K. Lewis, who is in a Douglas hospital suffer ing from serious gun shot wounds. the number on the jury will be eX- actly where it started last Monday if the two challenges threatened are sustained.
 The trial is now nearing the end "f iis third week, 170O jurors hay" been drawn and every indication points toward the necessity Of call ing upon at least 300 more before the taking of evidence is started
