 Governor on Stand
 The principal witness called by tho state today was Governor Thomas Campbell. who arrived iii Tombstone at noon and took the stand immediate ly upon the opening of the afternoon session. Governor Campbells testi- mo1y consisted. almost entirely. in reading of telegrams received and sent by him as defaCtO governor of Arizona during the progress of the I. w. W. strike at Bisbee. The gov ernOr's testimony appeared to help, rather than hurt. the defense On June 2S, 1917, TWO days after the L W. w strike was called at Bisbee. said Governor Campbell, he had Te- Ceivod at telegram from Sheriff Har- ry C. Wheeler. advising him that con- ditions at Bisbee were serious. that loss of life and property was feared and that troops were needed in the Warren District The governor testi- fled that he re-wired Wheeler's tele- gram to the secretary of war. inform ing the secretary that he considered Wheeler a conscientious and reliable peace officer and urging that an Of ficer of the regular army he sent Co Bisbee at once to investigate cOndi- tionS with a view to aSCertaning whether troops were necessary. He also wired the secretary of labor, said the governor. asking that q federal conciliator be sent 10 Bisbee to at tempt to settle differences. Governor Campbell said he never received a reply from the secretary Of war 10 his first telegram.
 From July to July 10. the govern or testified, he was in Globe. endeay- oviua to hrine to an end serious strike at that camp While al Globe. he said he had practically no word from BisbeC and was not aware or the seriousness of conditions in the Warren District Ire governor said he first heard of the deportation on the morning of July 12. and that he at once wired Sheriff Wheeler and County Attorney J. p. Ross. asking for further information. Wheeler wired back, said the governor. as follows.
 "Nour wire just received. Near
 ly every law was violated yester-
 day afternoon and the mayor
 openly threatened by the strikers.
 1 assume full authority for the de
 portaton Only sorry that
 cannot do more for my people
 and my country"
 While in Globe. said the governor. he had believed that conditions at Bisbee had settled down to normal and his attention had been diverted by the Globe strike. \ large number of tcIegraus from Col. J. J. Horn brook, who investigated conditions at Risbcc. were offered bv the state as evidence. but barred upon the objec- ton Of the defense that they were purely hearSay and that if Col Horn brooks testimony were desired by trc state ne should be called as witness in order that the defense might have the opportunity to cross examine him.
 The state suffered two serious Blows during the day. One wast the ruling of the court denying the state the privilege of introduCing the testi- monv Of two deputy sheriffs. intend ed to impeach the deposition made several weeks ago by Clarence ln- gram. few hours prior to the latter's death, concerning an attempt made by Ingram and Frank Pannock to in- duce Brown to leave the line of men who were deported.
 The second blow was the ad
 mission by Brown that he had
 teer brought to Tombstone
 year a1o to secure evidence
 aaainst the defendants in the de
 portation cases with money sent
 him by Milo w. Porter. who is
 said by the defense 70 have been
 secretary of the l. w. W. at Bis
 bee at that time.
 Panuock. called hy the defense early in the afternoon. testified that he and Ingram had been at the base hall park at Warron when Brown was marched in with otEer men who were
