 Complete Jury Panel
 With the jury panel complete only few minutes after the opening of court this morning, the entire session was taken up with the presentation of con, flicting testimony regarding the atti- tude of two of the jurors during the war with Germany.
 The two jurors charged, by counsel for the defense, with disloyalty during the war. are P. c. Haynie, of Douglas. and C. F. Mannus, of Sulphur Spring valley. Decision as to both challenges was reserved by the court until furth- CT investigation of the charges has been made.
 Opposes the Dratt
 The charges Of disloyalty against Haynie were presented uur;ng the morning session by Frank Curley. of Tucson, assistant chief counsel for the defense. Curley alleged that Haynie had advised three sons and one son in-law to evade the draft during the world war by going to Mexico, that he had said that if he were a young man he would so to Mexico and that he had declared it was practically i'm possible to stop the German army dur ing the war Haynie's son-in-law, Ow- en Huish, of Douglas, was sworn as witness by the defense, and corrobor ated the statements made against the juror by Curley.
 Charge Disloyalty
 Haynie was challenged by the de- fense on the grounds of his alleged disloyalty. The challenge was resist ed by George Roark, assistant county attorney at present in charge of the prosecution, who stated he wished to put one of Haynie's sons on the wit ness stand. Young Haynie was called during the afternoon He testified that he had never heard his father advise himself or any of his brothers to go to Mexico to avoid military servIve nor had he heard his father say that if he were young he would go to Mexi- co.
 Brother is Deserter On being examined by Curley, how i ever, Haynie admitted that one of his 1 brothers had, after registering under [ the selective draft, gone to Mexico ill | 1917 and had not since returned to i this country. He was asked iftit were I not fact that another brother had | been arrested and taken before Ray E. Krebs. head of the Cochise county | draft board during the war, for at tempting to evade the draft. Young | Haynie said he could not say whether | this was true or not.
 The second talesman challenged by counsel for the defense for alleged dis loyal remarks during the war was c. F. | Mannus. an elderly rancher, who yes terday admitted that he had been a | subscriber to a German newspaper for years. but could not afford to sub scribe one dollar year to the Ameri- can Red Cross.
 Mannus was recalled for examina-
  fense. He was asked if he had not re- peatedly expressed the wish to Tom McGee, a neighbor, that the United States would be defeated during the war with Germany. Mannus denied having made any such statements and said that although a native of Ger many, he had thought it would do Ger many good to be defeated by the Unit cd States.
 Says Mannus Favored Germany
 McGee was called as a witness by the defense. He stated that during 1917. he lived on a ranch close to Man nus. On several occasions, said Me Gee, Mannus had said that he hoped Germany would win the war
 Immediately after McGee's eXamina- tion, the defense renewed the chal- lence against Mannus. It was resisted by Roark, who asked permission to speak with Mir. and Mrs w. H. Beaton, of Sulphur Spring. The Beatons were subpoenaed yesterday by the defense as witnesses against Mannus but were not called by the defense. fl After brief conference with the as sistant county attorney, Mrs. Beaton took the stand. She was a native of Germany, she said, and had four broth CTS who served in the German army 1 during the war. Mrs. Beaton testified that on various occasions, she and Man nus, who lives about three miles , away, had discussed the war in Ger I many. Mannus' sympathies, she test- Z fled, were always with the United ! States During examination by the de- ( fense, she was asked if it were not l true that, several days ago. she had n told Bruce Stevenson, former assistant al
