Senator Pittmar. Then, from your ex-
perience and your understanding of that
situation you thought if you granted a
jury trial that the State would lose; is
that true or not?
Judge Williams. am not going to say
that, sir; but the next thing is it has not
been customary to grant jury trials. any
how; it has not been customary, and |
saw no reason for granting him that pri-
viIege.
Senator Pittman. You said that with
a jury you did not believe there would be
a fair trial?
Judge Williams. said that was one
of the things; yes. sir.
Senator Pittman. Ii the State had won,
would that have been a fair trial?
Judge Williams. | do not know; / am
not passing on that. | can not say; | do
not know.
Senator Pittman. You tried him With
out a jury and found him guilty?
Judge Williams. Yes. sir; that is
what | did.
Senator Pittman. Then, if the jury
, had found him guilty that would have
been a fair trial?
Judge Williams, 1t might have been;
and it might have been a fair trial if they
found him guilty or NOT guilty, because
they have a right to draw their own con-
illusions.
Senator Pittman. What do you mean
by saying it would not have been fair;
now you say it would have been fair eth
er way?
Judge Williams. I say / believe there
would have been bias in that case in their
minds.
Senator Bratton. Which way?
Judge Williams. 10 favor OF the de-
PENDANT.
Senator Bratton. Well, bringing about
his reQuittaI, that is what you mean-a
bias in his favor which bring about his
reQuittal?
Judge Williams. | do not know whsth-
Ell it would have brought about his ac-
quittal or not, but there would have been
bias 10 that case.
Senator Pittman. Then you would
never. under that theory, grant q jury
trial where there was a private citizen
involved?
Judge Williams. | do not say that |
would not. in passing on those cases, as

NO COPPER PRICE
CHANGE is seen
BY CAMPBELL

BIsBEE, March II. = No marked
! change in production and consump-
ton will be effected in the copper
industry during 1927, with the price
of the red metal remaining at about
the same figure it now commands
on the market for the next few
months, in the opinion of Gordon R.
Campbell, president of the Calumet
and Arizona Mining company of Bis
bee, and the New Cornelia Copper
company at Ajo, who is visiting in
the district. Campbell accompanied
by his wife and son, came here from
his home in Calumet, Mich, where
the headquarters of the Calumet and
arizona Mining company are LOCATED
Campbell averred that producers
of copper will be satisfied if condf-
tons remain the same during 1927
as they were in the previous year
and said he expected production and
consumption figures to show little
variance from 1926.
The past year was a big produce
tion year for the copper industry
with a large amount of the red
metal being sold, both in the United
States and in foreign countries, the
C. & A. president stated.
Europe, whose buying power and
consumption of copper strongly in
fluence the red metal industry in
/ the United states, IS slowly but
gradually emerging from the dis
astrous effects Of the World war, he
continued, adding that the Euro
rean nations will probably consume
greater amounts of copper with each
/ passing year.
England is recovering from the
effects of the coal strike. France is
starting to pay her war debts, and
Germany is becoming more stabilized
each year, all of which is to SONS
! extent encouraging and indicative OF
better conditions in industry in the
future" Campbell said.
AS in a statement issued here
some months ago, Campbell again
pointed to the need for copper
J tariff avarring that "the country
will be better off with this tariff
