 The trial was marked by the mat ter offaet evidence. presented by tue prosecution, the witnesses for which testified that they watched Salcido dealing game of "Monte;" saw cards and money OH the table, and saw Salcido pay several bets.
 Deputy Sheriff Gipson, who .swore te the complaint, took the stand first He testified that he and Patrolman
 alison went around to the back of the building at about 8 o'clock at night; climbed up to a window and watched the progress of the game. Gipson said that Salcido was dealing; that money and chips were on the
 able, and that five or six men were 7itting around the table playing After watching the game for a few minutes he said that Callison went
 nd got Patrolman Brakefield: that he also watched the game for a few minutes, and that they all three then vent around to the front door. made | quick entry and arrested Salcido.
 A lookout at the door Gibson said. shouted "Police!" as they, entered. There were 25 or 30 other men in the room Walter Roche, deputy county attorney, presented in evidence the ards and money that Gipson said had been lying on the table.

Roy Callison. Bisbee police officer substsntiated the testimony of Clip ! son and Brakefield. An attempt was 1 made by counsel for the defense to discredit the police officer on ac- count of the fact that while in the crowded pool hall he had drawn his gun to keep the crowds in check. At torney Thomas asked Callison sar- 1 castically if he was afraid for his 1 fife, and Callison replied that he be- lieved in playing safe.
 The defense counsel then asked | Calliscn if he knew what constituted an assault, and endeavored to pursue his attack on the police officer for drawing his gun while raiding a Mex l can pool hall, but Judge Mckenzie upheld the objection of the prosecut- l ing attorney and the discussion was 1 dropped.
 1 The defense objected to the admis-
 ion in evidence of the deck of cards nd the money, but the testimony of 1 Gipson, Brakefield, Callison and Tex Barton formed complete chain of ! evidence with regard to the cards and money, from the time they were picked up from the table and floor of ! the pool hall. until they were present cd in court.
