 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) French referred to the responsibili-
 ties devolving upon any peace officer
 who arrested any person without 8
 warrant and then did not give hin.
 his day in court. The county attor-
 ney declared Harry c. Wheeler, sher- if of Cochise county during the de- portations, had no legal right to dep utize the citizens who assisted him in the deportation. Wheeler. said French. violated the law himself and the defendant, Wootton, was just az guilty for obeyijng any orders given by the sheriff. Wheeler the defense principal witness, is not under indict ment, although bound over for trial at his own request when his prelin- mary hearing was called in Douglas last September.
 The states principal contention. in arguing against the admission before the jury Of testimony concerning the l. w. w., was that when the 1lOO men were deported, the defendants now charged with deporting them had acted in an illegal manner. had gone farther than necessary in sending them to Columbus, and had by deing so, placed themselves beyond their claim for self-defense. The states ar- gument was completed during the af- ternoon session by A.. A Worsley, Speclal assistant prosecutor. Mir. Worsley's contention was that the tes- timony concerning the l. W. w. was not proper defensive matter. and had no place in the trial
 The closing argument for the do- fense, substantiating that mace Friday Dy w. II. Burges, chief counsel. was made this afternoon by Frank E. Cur ley, of Tucson, assistant chief counsel. lnasmuch as the state had not offered any argument to attack any of the au- i thorlueS previously offered by the de 1 fense, MT. Curley said, he confined his closing argument mainly, to be con- | sideration of the same upon which the state had based most of its con.en- ] tions.
 MT Curley said, in part: "Mr. Wors- | Icy has said that we believed certain | things. This is not so. We avowed | that we would prove those things. We 1 avowed that we would prove there was conspiracy in the Warren District, l that threats had been used. We avow- 1 co that We will prove that on the 11th 1 day of July, the day before the depor- tations, men were acCosted on the streets and were told with an cath. [ that it was Nell for them to go to work hat day. because it was their last day. We do Tot say that we believe, but that we will prove that one of the lead PTS of the l. w. w. said that he could 10 longer control his men"
 MT. Curley insisted that the condi- ions brought about by the l. w. W. in ne Warren District were such that made it necessary, at the time, for the 'heIiff, after having been denied state nd federal aid, to take immediate teps to protect the lives and property ,f the district
 During the day both Mr. French auu IT.. Wolsley, ln presenting the states ase, occasionally departed from rnr n tin question under discussion, and aunched into vigorous denunciation of he deportation and the men who are lleSeC to have taken part in it. Sev- ral times spectators were puzzled as 0 whether the states attorneys were rguing against the admissability of l. Y. W. testimony or were rehearsing rgnnlentS regarding .he entire case
