car, which was standing in the street, outside, and backed up for gasoline and oil. Nash got to talking with him over a kick Schwab was making against the garage. Schwab asked one of the garage men how the roads were to Winslow. Then Nash said some thing to Schwab about wanting to go to Winslow and asked Schwab if there would be room for him. Schwab said he guessed there would.
 Nash stood on running board of car while Schwab drove to Commercial ho- tel. Car stopped in front of hotel, across the street.
 Nash met Schwab again that af- ternoon, after lunch, when Schwab again drove up to the Commercial. Nash went up to the car just as Schwab was getting out of it.
 Schwab told Nash he would be ready to go (to Winslow) in short time. Then went into hotel and came out with g. black case. Then he drove away, returning in about half an hour. Schwab said then he was ready to leave, brought his suit case, portfolio, cases, etc, Nash helping, and slowed them in the car.
 They then drove east, stopping at the store at Greenlaw mills, Both went into the store, where Schwab talked with the assistant manager for about half an hour. They got into the car again, and went to Walnut Canyon. w. H. Pierce, ranger at the canyon, met them at the door. They went in and registered their names. Schwab had not given any intlmation that he was going to Walnut Canyon or that he was not going to Winslow as expected.
 Winslow Trip Postponed
 Nash and Schwab went down into the canyon, remaining there an hour or so, then got back into Schwab's car. After riding some distance, Schwab said he was going back to Flagstaff and not to Winslow, but of fered no explanation.
 Arrived here, Schwab told Nash he could go to Winslow with him next day if he wanted to, that he wouldn't leave until after the postof!ice opened at 8 o'clock. Nash said he thought he'd go next day.
 Next morning Schwab was eating in the Commercial cafe when Nash and his wife came in for breakfast Schwab finished breakfast, then told Nash he would soon be ready to start. When Nash left the cafe, Schwab was outside talking to man who wanted to go to Winslow, but. who said he couldn't be ready for two hours. Schwab said he couldn't wait.
 Nash helped Schwab carry his be- longings to the car. They drove to the. postoffice. Schwab got mail, Nash believed. They left postoffice before 9 o'clock, for Winslow. Their first stop was when they got off the road, and had to go through two gates and across railroad to get back to the main road. Their last stop was about five miles beyond Padre Canyon bridge.
 Nash Tells of Killing.
 Now comes the part the spectators have been waiting for, Nash's account of the manner in which Schwab met his death. Several times Mir. Schenck's questions had led right up to the be- ginning of the story, but each time he had switched back to ask about oc-- currences and points he had omitted asking about up to that time.
 Schwab mentioned the Mormon ca thedral at Salt Lake City. He said something about two travelling men he had carried in his car and what he charged them. Nash thought the charge was exhorbitant, but thought Schwab was fooling. He asked Schwab if that was the way he made his living. Schwab said "part of it."
 q asked what he was going to charge me. He said S20. l still thought he was fooling."
 Then Schwab, Nash said, reduced the price to S15. Nash still thought he was fooling. He told him he couldn't pay $15. Nash replied:
 'Then if you can't pay s15, by God you can get outw Still Nash thought Schwab was kidding. Scnwab stop. ped the car, got out, lifted the hood on the left. Nash got out the other side. Schwab was working under hood of car. They kept on arguing. Nash saw Schwab meant what he said could see it by his expression and tones. He looked to Nash like man who had been drinking or was "crazy with dope"
 Nash said he was just getting over blood poisoning. His foot was bother ing him from the trip to the cliff dwellings the day before. He knew he couldn't walk. He told Schwab:
 "You will not go off and leave me here to walk. You'll stay here as long as I dol"
 Nash then stopped over, he said, to let the air out of the tires. Schwab stepped around in front of the car toward Nash.
 Here Attorney c. B. Wilson stood up and Nash was directed to use MT. Wilson to illustrate Schwab's position. Nash showed that Schwab was eight or ten feet from him, with revolver in his right hand pointing his way.
 "You're one of them damned cow boys!" Schwab cried, according to Nash. "You wouldn't be the first one I've killed"
 "You're one of them damned Nor mons," Nash said he replied. That's
