 The various transactions at Phoe- nix and Maricopa were repeated in much the same form as presented by the various prosecution witnesses. The blackjack which had been bought at Fort Whipple, wac packed in a suitcase and carried on the hobo trip to Yuma, where it was sold to fellow pilgrim, the suitcase mean while having been expressed to Beau mont, Texas.
 Burge then told of his stay at Yuma.
 The Third Degree Contradicting flatly the testimony of H. C. Parsons, the arresting of ficer, Burge described the weird third degree. at the Maricopa county jail. He was mugged, he said, and then told that the officers had an in strument that could divine the last thought of dead man. A series oi questions interspersed with ghost stories were intended, he said, to make him "confess to a lie"
 One of the officers told him, ht testified, that he "was going to break my neck or send me to the pen fol life"
 Burge said he maintained silence and had subsequently been advised tc keep on saying nothing by his law yers.
 Then followed these questions:
 Did you know Iver Finger" "No.'
 Did you ever hear his name men tioned?" No"
 Did you take a ride to Groom Creek, or go out on that road to tht Midnight Test mine No"
 Did you have anything whatevel to do with the murder of Ivel Enge?" "No."
 MT. O'Sullivan wound up the da! by a series of searching investiga tions into the effects of Burge, whicl he had the county attorney withdraw from the vaults. The cross-examina ton of the defendant will be begun this morning.

FOUR JUDGES
 IN ONE CASE.

(From Tuesday's Daily)

When Judge Lamson has fipishcd hearing the latest ramifications of the Spencer divorce case, for which he has gone to Coconino county, the place of its origin, four superior judges of this stste will have heard issues in that case, now fast becom- ing renowned. Judge Lamson will have as attorney for one Of the hti- gants, a former superior judge, who, in his turn, sat on the case, and an other of the prior judges was sought as counsel for the other side, but could not officate.
 The Spencer divorce was an involv- ed one, with alleged community prop erty rights at issue. Judge Perkins of Coconino county first heard it. Then 1t was returned to the court on expanded issues and Judge Ellis, then presiding in Mohave county, was called in. Subsequently Judge Cros- by sat in the case, and now the Yavapai jurist is hearing it.
 Judge Crosby, who is now practic- ing law at Flagstaff, is counsel for Mir. Spencer, and Judge Ellis, who is aiding the prosecution of the Burge case here, was asked to take part on Mrs. Spenser's side, but had to de cline.
 What are described as extremely valuable water and land rights in Northern Arizona are the subject oi this continued litigation.

VICTIM
 OF { ROBBERY
Thieves Enter Montezurna Street. Store and Take Their Time as Well as $51 Cash and Clothing Valued at $200.
iF.rorn Saturdays paIIyl

A robbery rivalling the best hu- morous short-stories of o. Henry was per7euatcd here early yesterday morning by two men, bcIieved to be ramps, who cut Inc loci, from the rear door off, Ed Blocks clothing store, 128 South 1Iontezuna street, exchanged their wornout garments for complete new outfits and made off with $51 from the cash registers and two suitcases filled with under wear, shirts and hosiery. The cloth ing taken was valued at $200, MT. Block said yesterday.
 Once in the store, the robbers ap- parently worked at leisure, examin- ing the stock and fitting themselves with everything from underwear to overcoats. Opening showcases and pulling boxes and cartons from the shelves, they carried the clothing to the rear of the store and tried 1t on, takig only what fitted them. Un- derwear, sox, shirts, collars, ties, suits and overcoats were among the fine feathers with which these hoboes made themselves over into fine birds.
 The robbery accomplished, the lei surely bandits departed, leaving their cast-off rags on the floor amongst litter of price-tags and empty car tons. Though they were at first believed to have sauntered through town and boarded the southbound train, later investigation revealed that they had walked out to a spot near a road-camp on the Jerome road, where they were picked up by truck. There the trail ended last night.
 If Block carried cigars. the rob- bers would have stuffed their pock- cts with them and gone off smoking his best brand" was the comment of officers yesterday.
 In fact, the robbers did not stint themselves. The best was none too good for them. Having clothed them selves from head to foot in brand new garments, they selected two ca- pablo suitcases and filled them with every item of clothing of which they might later stand in need. The two tills were tapped, 25 cents being left in one and s cents in the other.
 The confident bravado of the rob- bers was what struck MT. Block af- ter he had ploughed his way, SO to speak, through the tags, boxes and coat-hangers on the floor and ascer- tained the amount of his loss. It was evident that the men had taken their time. It seemed a wonder they hadn't backed truck up to the rear door and carried the store off.
 The robbery is the third time thieves have visited MT. Blocks place on South Montzuma within l6 months. On the two previous occa- sions, which will be recalled by read CTS, the store-room adjoining MT. Blocks main store was entered and irifled. Yesterdays robbery is the first that has taken place in the main store.
 The robbers apparently were large men, since they took sizes g and 40 suits aid oycrcoats, and I615 shirts and collars. A search being con- ducted by the sheriff's office is fol- lowing up the clue offered by word that the robbers had been seen board ing a truck near the road camp out side of town.

Attracting Attention With the
DanviIIe, Va, RepreSen-
tative Nine

The sensation of the Piedmont
League at the present time is
Charles "Pud" Stinson, former short
stop of the Perth Amboy Athletic
Association nine. Stinson is playing
second base with the Danville, Va,
team and the past several weeks a
been exhibiting a great brand or
baseball in the field and at bat. His
work is attracting the attention OF
minor and major league scouts.
When Stinson first went to Dan
vile he fielded brilliantly, but was
weak with the willow. At the pres
ent time he is batting over the 800
mark and his good fielding contin-
ues. 1t is probable that before the
end of this season Stinson will be
playing in a higher class.
Ed "Blackie" Regain is also with
the Danville team. He is just re-
covering from a batting slump, as a
result of which he dropped from
above the 800 mark. Regain has
been fielding in great style in vari-
Gus positions this season. A recent
injury is believed responsible for his
slump.

Borough Team Again Beats
Du Pont Nine of
Parlin

Following their 2-1 victory over
the DUPONT nine Of Parlin on Sat
uroay afternoon. the second win
over this team during the present
season, the Metuchen representative
balltossers discussed the possibility
of booking a return game with The
Perth Amboy Knights of Columbus
aggregation for a Saturday game.
The Caseys trounced the Metuchen-
ties a week ago.
Ten Eyck's masterful pitching
against the DUPONT aggregation on
Saturday afternoon, was backed up
by the excellent support of his
teammates. Only three hits were
credited to the DUPONT team, two of
these were made by Tom Henshaw,
hard hitting second baseman of the
Perth Amboys. Hart, the Parlin
twirler, allowed nine safeties but
was strong in the pinches.
The Metuchenites claim to have
backed Ten Eyck in ragged style
in the game AGAINST the Caseys,
and for this reason are DESTROYS of
securing a return game with Man
ager Harrington's outfit.
Manager Ardolino is also DESTROYS
of arranging bookings fer Saturday

rer nine over the Speedways was
not decisive enough to warrant the
elimination of the latter team from
the championship contest. For this
reason the fans might desire another
game between the Maurer and

play Amboy. Maurer won the first
game when a pinch hitter clouted
out what was labeled foc a home
run with two men on base.
Baseball is baseball and strange
things can happen in the playing of
the great diamond game. 1t might
be possible for the Maurer team TO
beat the Amboys. but when Nam
ager Urbanski declares that his team
is as good or better than the AM
boys, he is way off in our opinion.
We do not claim to have an aggre-
cation of world beaters. btu wo do
claim to have the strongest nine in
Middlesex county and can hold our
own with leading teams in the East
ern semi-pro circuit. The fans of
this section at least know hat we
