 charges against her husband were what she had read in the papers. Amo- ment later she volunteered the infor- nation that at the time Fox question ed her she had not had time to read the papers.
 Referring back to the day before the killing, Mrs. Nash said that when Har- ry had come back from the Cliff Dwellings on April IA, 1920, though he had told her that morning that he was going to Winslow, he didn't tell her that he hadn't been to Winslow, or that he had been to the Cliff Dwell ings. She said when he started for Winslow to look for work, he had not talked about whether she was to go there or stay here in case he got work in Winslow.

 Witness positively denied ever being in Williams with her husband look ing for work, or meeting Rivers at the Johnson & McConkey store there; or that rivers told her hsuband that Mic Perkins wanted some one to work for him right away, telling him he could use the store phone to call up Perkins; or that her husband had said that he would go to the central station to phone. Also denied buying something in the hardware department at that time from Clifford Klock, the clerk.

 Character Witnesses for Nash.
 In the afternoon MT. Wilson took the stand and read depositions as to the good character, reputation and peaceable nature of Harry Nash. They were sworn to by Frank R. Dildine, garage man and county commission CT; George J. Carroll, sheriff; J. R. Carpenter, real estate man and ranch CT, all of Cheyenne, Wyo.; James A. Templeman, farmer; Frank Keslar, farmer, both of Hillsdale, Wyo.
 Mrs. J. c. Nash, mother of the de- fendant, didn't know what suit cases her son had in his possession. His only mackinaw, as far as she knew, was green one, that is still in Hills dale.
 Wayland Crisp, of Golden, N. NJ, manager of a cattle outfit from Pine dale, Ariz., identified defendant and his wife as persons who came there in Chandler car in April, 1920. Traded Colt 32 automatic and S30 to Nash for spurs and the 38 S. & w. special that killed Schwab. Identified both guns. When trading, Nash showed him the 38 and heavy old-fashioned Colts, but didn't show him or say anything about also having in his possession a 32 Colt automatic (the gun Nash claims Schwab had and that, he claims, he traded to Hobo" next morning after trading with Crisp.) Hobo" was in the section where Crisp lived only week or so and never told Crisp he had got gun from Nash. Didn't know where "Ho- bo" went from Golden, though heard he had left the country with a cattle shipment. Said he didn't believe 'Ho- bo" was cowboy as he "had too much hot air"
 A. H. Hill, of Cortez, Colo, who worked for Crisp at Golden when the Nashes stopped there over night on their way east from Flagstaff after the killing, corroborated Crisp's testi- mony.

Then Carter T. Joy, of Flagstaff, the new witness, took the stand. He said a man was just coming out of the secondhand store that he and Ben Rectdol then owned on San Francisco street; that the stranger asked about trading a lighter gun for Colt 45 automatic in the window. The man got his gun from a big car standing in front of the store. Joy said the gun was a Colt automatic, he thought a 32, though possibly it was a 38. They couldn't agree on terms and didn't trade. Shown Schwab's photo, Joy couldn't identify it. In trying to fix the time of the occurrence, Joy was several months of. Joy said Carl Schwab, the dead mans brother, was in his place month or so later ask ing if a man had been there trying to sell at typewriter.
 Carl Schwab, who didn't arrive here until five months after his brothers death, told The Sun after ,Joy left the
