PAGE THREE END OP BALLOT TRIAL EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT (Continued ftum P&e One.) called by th defense u a witness, wag dismissed when the court sus tained the state's objection to his testimony on the grounds It would be a rerealment of grand Jury. Grlevc'i Testimony Brief. The Jury waa excused, while Attor ney Newman for the defense made a proffer of proof. The defense of fered to show by Orleve that Deputy District Attorney Nielson hBd told the grand Jury "the Investigation ot the ballot theft was la the hands of the etat and federal authorities, as ballots cast in a national election had j been stolen." Grieve was on the stand less than five minutes, and his testimony was brief. C. Jean Conners, Tlce-presldent and parliamentarian of the ''Good Gov ernment Congress," and known as "bright boy" of the organization, tes tified to. and admitted his participa tion In the ballot theft as In pre vious trials. Conners with Wilbur Sexton, crawled. Into the vault and passed out the ballot pouches the testimony showed. Conners, under cross-examination, testified that he saw . Schermerhorn about 7:35 o'clock, near the sheriff's door In the rear, and that he had a flashlight In his hands. Conners Claims Clemency ntnt. Conners admitted he had signed two statements, and claimed discrep ancies in them, but was unable to point out In what vital particular. He claimed he was given thinly veiled hints of Immunity, by officers, which prompted his statements. He claimed his mother waa told, "you have noth ing to worry about; your boy will never go to the penitentiary.' and that the officers said "we are not after you kids; we want the leaders, who put you up to It." Attorney Moody asked Conners once: "See if you can answer this question without making a speech?" Newton C. Chaney testified that he was around the courthouse the night of the ballot robbery. Chaney denied that he had been In the county Jail early in the evening, or that he had a conversation with Fehl and Schermerhorn on the sotith side. Chaney said he saw Fehl coming from the southwest corner and Just said "hello and that Fehl seemed to "be bothered about something." Chaney denied that he had had a talk with Chuck Davia, Fehl and Joe pan lets, when watches were compared at 9:5. Chaney aatd he came to the court -house about 0 o'clock and remained an hour. State witnesses testified that Cha ney was present at a Jail conference, and that Chaney and Fehl and Scher merhorn had talked on the south side of the courthouse. Conference Held, C. W. (Chuck) Davis, who entered a plea of guilty, testified that he had not seen Schermerhorn on the night of the ballot robbery. O. O. Clancy, a Jail Inmate, testified that Davis. Schermerhorn, Glenn and Brecheen had conferred In the Jail a short time before the robbery. Robert Bell, Jsnltor, testified that Schermerhorn was not In his office about 10 o'clock as Burley Sexton testified, and differed with Deputy District Attorney Nellaon on minor details and the time when the ax was found In the basement. Charles Mornlngstar, fireman, tes tified that he was present in the base ment when the search for evidence In the ashes was started and that Schermerhorn had instructed him to give the state police and city police assistance. J. Frank Wortman of Phoenix, fore. man of the La Dteu Jury that return ed a verdict of guilty, J. A. Perry, fruitgrower and banker, A. C. Hub bard, merchant, and Dr. J, A. Gltzen, next door neighbor of Schermerhorn "a, testified to his good reputation for truth and law-abiding qualities. All had known the defendant for many years, and admitted, under state questioning that they had not made Inquiries about bis reputation since the ballot thefts became a subject of public discussion. The court ruled that the testimony should apply only to the period before the ballot rob bery. Square Horse Trader. Dr. Gltzen caused laughter when he testified, "Schermerhorn waa a square shooter In a horse trade, and that's what counts in that business." Mrs. Shelly, a kin of Schermerhorn, testified that Schermerhorn came home to supper on the ballot robbery night about seven o'clock, and came home for the. night shortly after 11 o'clock. Attorney T. J. Enrlght testified that he had an appointment with Scher merhorn on the ballot theft night, but had been unable to keep It. The state asked one question of Enrlght that he had been counsel for a number of the defendants. Most of the defense testimony was for the purpose of refuting salient points In the state's case.
