STATE SCORES POINT
IN YUMA LIBEL TRIAL
Witness Who Accused Editor of
Attempted Intimidation Per-
mitted to Testify:
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
YUMA, Ariz., June 13.-Efforts by
the State to impeach the testimony
of several defense witnesses continued
here today in the trial of George w.
Lynn, Yuma editor, charged with
criminal libel by f. F. Sanguinetti.
wealthy Yuma merchant.
The State scored a point when
Judge E. Elmo Bollinger ruled that
testimony of one witness, who de-
clared that Lynn had tried to intimi-
date him to get advertising, was ad-
missible. A defense motion that the
testimony be stricken from the records
was overruled.
Bert Caudrey, credit manager for
Sanguinetti. asserted today that Frank
GardenShire, defense witness, had
broached the subject of getting money
for his testimony and said that the
Lynn crowd is kicking through"
Caudrey said that he had told Gar
denshiret that Sanguinetti would not
pay. any person to testify for him.
Gardenshire, previously on the stand.
had admitted having had a conversa-
ton with Caudrey, but denied that the
subject of money had been brought
up.
w. S. Cunningham, professor. of
dairy husbandry of the University of
Arizona, was another rebuttal wit
ness. Contradicting several defense
witnesses, he said that milk from
tubercular cows looked the same as
uninfected milk, and, under ordinary
conditions, would keep just as well.
The article upon which the libel
action Is based refers to the use of
formaldehyde in milk sold by the San.
guinetti dairy
