The Coconino sun., 1921-08-19

Schwab wore. The leather portfolio probably was Schwab's. It was ex- pected that Nuanez would be asked if the "roll of bedding" might not have been a dead man, wrapped up.
 Nuanez (this he did not say on the witness stand) was rather nervous out there in the trees when he saw the stuff. He didn't know what it might singnify nor who might be near. He did not feel like being too inquisitive. Idaho Officer Testifies.
 Frank Faurot, of Weisser, Idaho, deputy sheriff of his county, was next called He Is the man who reported the finding of Schwab's missing Chandler car ana who received the $500 reward paid by Coconino county for its recovery. Faurot looked like and talked like shrewd, capable man.
 He said Harry Nash and his wife, accompanied by Harry's brother, Her bert Nash, and Coyote Olivas and Buffalo Brady came to Weiser for the rodeo in the Chandler car. It was in last October. Faurot's attention was directed toward Nash and the car when he learned that it was being of fered for sale at $500. He believed that was too cheap. Nash sold the car to J. F.. Freeman, of Boise, but before the sale was made, Faurot ex- amined the car pretty carefully. He noted that the Utah license plate had been mutiliated, the first numeral be- ing cut off, so that instead of reading 21430, it read 1a30. He also discovee- ed that the last numeral in the motor number on the motor arm had been changed, apparently with cold-chisel so that instead of 77552 it was 7755S.
 Faurot began investigating. He was advised the motor numbers or Chand- Ter cars were secretly duplicated by the manufacturers on the base on which the fan standard sat. In Janu- ary he looked the car over again, re- moved the fan standard, found the secret number and verified his sus- picion that it was 77552, which was the motor number of Schwab's car.
 The license plate that had been on the car was handed Faurot in court and he identified it.
 J. E. Freeman, of Boise, Idaho, far mer, cattleman and U. S. mail con tractor, testified that he had bought the car from Nash in Weiser on Oct ober IA, 1920, paying s525 for it. Nash had given him bill of sale, which was produced in court and identified. Nash had told Freeman that he had bought the car of man he had known for long time.
 Los Angeles Officer on Stand
 J. B. Fox, deputy sheriff of Los An geles county, Calif., who with two of his men arrested Nash in Los Angeles on January IT, this year, was called. The arrest was in pool room. Short ly after County Attorney Gold began questioning Fox, Attorney Schenck, for the defense, objected to the line of questioning on the ground that "the proper foundation had not been laid. "
 Fox was the forty witness ex- ! amined and these objections were the very first that had been interposed to questions by the attorneys for ether side up to that time, which probably establishes record.
 One or two of the objections to MT. Colds questions as to what Nash and Fox had said to each other were sus- tained by Judge Jones, who few mo- ments later, the objections recurring on the same ground, as 1t was near noon, adjourned court until after din ned and took the objections under ad- visement until then.
 Nash Denied Knowing Schwab. When court reconvened in the after noon, Mir. Gold ''laid the foundation" for his line of questions, by establish ing through other questions that Nash had been advised by Fox that what ever he said might be used against him, and that his answers were not given under coercion. The testimony was then admitted. Fox said he asked Nash if he owned an automobile and that he replied that he didn't and couldn't even drive one. Then he ask ed him if he hadn't driven a Chandler car to Weiser, Idaho, and sold it there. Nash admitted he had. He asked Nash where he got the car, and the latter told him he had bought it of a certain Clayton Robbins," for 1925, paying Robbins" for it in mon ey he had got in gambling. When asked whether the car had not belong ed to Martin Schwab, who had been murdered in Flagstaff, Nash said that he didn't know Schwab.
 County Attorney Gold then announc- ed that the state would rest. Attor- neys for the defense asked for re- cess until the next morning before presenting their case. This was granted.
