several months ago, and broke it
open, finding it to be filled with
whiskey. He took out several of the
bottles and opened one which he
passed to one of the express com
pany's employes after he had taken
a drink.
Took It to His Room
He called a car then the witness
said, and loaded the whiskey aboard.
The witness had asked him, he said,
to bring the trunk either to the pro
hibition offices or to the sheriffs
office, but Fridley took it to his room
at the American Legion headquarters.
He later reported that the liquor had

two prizes are being offered and In
the event the Judges hold that one
person is entitled to both the slogan
and design prizes, there will be but
one award of a $50 prize.
Contestants are advised that neat
ness a.nd originality in slogan and
design will play an important part
in determining the winners. Slogans
shouM be short and snappy, but Indicative-
of the community. The
shorter the slogan, providing it has
the same appeal, the same signif
icance, the belter tne chances of
winning, contest managers say. Three,
four or five word slogans are pre
ferred if sufficient "meat" can , be
included.
Slogans should carry something
that people in other states can at
once Identify with the Salt River val
ley of Arizona. They may relate to
climate, to soil products, or even may
be allegorical.
Designs should be so prepared that
they can be used as a trademark in
a national advertising campaign, so
that the general public will come to
recognize the Salt River valley by
that sign.
Kntries placed in the mails before
midnight of May 15 and so post
marked will be accepted contest
managers said yesterday.
Contest managers desire to empha
size the fact that the contest is open
to all residents of Arizona, save em
ployes of the Arizona Republican and
members of their families. Boys and
girls who have ideas are especially
invited to enter.
Remember, the contest is already
under way. There . are only a few
days in which to prepare yonr slogan
and design and forward them to the
Contest editor. Arizona Republican.
Each entry must be accompanied
by the name and postoffice address
of the person sending it, securely
fastened to the entry.

DORRlS-HEYMANz:
FURNITURE CO. Ka
- Established 188K
Good St. Valentine, whose usual
haunts are far removed from the sol
emn interiors of halls of justice and
whose patrons are children and
young lovers instead of those who
are connected with the sordidness of
a criminal investigation, stepped in
to the United States district court
yesterday afternoon and took a
prominent part in the trial of Roy
A. Fridley, former prohibition en
forcement officer, who is charged
with having conspired to violate the
federal statutes and whose case has
been a subject of citywide interest
during the week.
The entrance of St. Valentine into
the case was brought about in the
testimony offered by Fred A, Weage,
United States deputy marshal, and
his wife and step-daughter. Miss
Gladys Smiley, in denial of Fridley s
charge that he left the state while
under a $5,000 bond because he had
been kidnepped by Weage, Luther
McClanahan and "a tall, dark, thin
man" on the night of February 14.
Fridley alleged that after he had been
taken to Maricopa he was given a
railroad ticket to Los Angeles and
$200, and forced to go aboard a west
bound train under threats that- he
would be "bumped off" if he stayed
in Phoenix.
At Supper Party
In fixing his movements on the
day in question, Weage said that he
was certain of his knowledge of them
especially in the evening, because
February 14 was St. Valentine's day,
which had ben impressed upon him
by the fact that a young man. a
friend of his daughter, had taken
supper with the Weage family and
had presented the young woman with
a valentine over which there had
been some joking. After supper,
Weage said, the young man had re
mained at the house until about mid
night. Weage followed this testimony
with a detailed denial of the allega
tions which had been made against
him by Fridley with regard to the
kidnapping and with regard to any
animus against the defendant. He
also told how he- searched Fridley 's
rooms after the latter's arrest. The
search was made, he said, in the
presence of Fridley's wife, and noth
ing had been found.
Weage's testimony was corroborat
ed by his wife and Miss Smiley. Mrs
Weage described the valentine in
question, saying that when the young
man presented it to her daughter
It was found that instead of a rep
resentation of one boy handing flow
ers to a girl, as had been the manu
facturer's intention, there were two
boys, which had aroused laughter
around the dinner table. .
Miss Smiley said that he had driv
en to the house about 6 o'clock in the
evening with Mr. and Mrs. "Wear,
and that her sister's friend was there
for dinner. She also told about the
valentine and also testified that
Weage had remained home all even
ing to join with the young people in
a few hours of music and singing.
Even Judge Wiliam H. Sawtelle. who
has been careful during the entire
trial to preserve a strict air of de
corum in his court foom, smiled when
the witness. In answer to Attorney
Spencer B. Pugh. Fridley's counsel,
who had asked if the young man was
a member of the family, remarked:
"Not Yet. Sir"
"Oh. no, sir! Net yet. sir!"
Another important witness for the
government, and one who had been
mentioned by Fridley in the 75-page
typewritten statement which he made
before R. E. L. Shepherd, county at
torney, and which has been used as
a basis for much of the testimony In
troduced by the government, was W.
T. Webb, federal prohibition director
for the state of Arizona. Webb had
been charged by Fridley with having
told Al Jones of Tuma, who is in
dicted with Fridley on the conspiracy
charge, that he would give Jones
$5,000 if he would testify that Fridley
had brought whiskey illegally from
Yuma to Phoenix, and that in addi
tion, he had offered' to put up a bond
of $15,000 to insure Jones against
prosecution.
Fridley's statement had been that
Webb made his offers before Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Balsz of Yuma, whose son-in-law
Jones is. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Balsz testified during the afternoon
that they had never known Webb
until last Monday when they had
been asked to come to Phoenix to
testify in the Fridley case, and they
denied that any conversation had
been held between Webb and Jones
in Yuma.
Webb followed this with the decla
ration that he had never seen any
of the Balsz family until this week,
and with an emphatic denial that he
had ever dealt with Jones., who is
now believed to be in Mexico. He
testified that Fridley, after his ap
pointment as a prohibition enforce
ment officer, had made several com
plaints to him that government of
ficials were selling liquor illegally,
and that each time he had told
Fridley to get his evidence, arrest
the men implicated and prosecute
them. He said Fridley never had
made any written statements to him
and that the allegations were merely
verbal charges.
Says Liquor Was Stolen
Webb then told how Fridley, after
he had seized a truck of liquor at the
offices of the American Express com
pany, had reported that it had been
stolen from his room at American
Legion headquarters, and how he had
been cautioned to be more careful in
the future. Webb said that he had
always preserved friendly relations
with Fridley, as he did with all the
agents, because they were appointed
largely upon his own recommendation
and he felt that therefore he was re
sponsible for their actions.
The witness also said that he had
warned the agents not to make
searches or seizures without the
proper warrants, and he denied em
phatically that any question of poli
tics as alleged by Fridley had ever
entered into his relationship with the
latter. When asked by Attorney Pugh
if the name of Ralph Cameron had
ever precipitated a dispute between
himself and Fridley, Webb said that
he had never had a dispute with
Fridley in his life and that the word
"Cameron" had never been uttered by
either himself or Fridley In any con
versation. An interesting diversion in the af
ternoon's proceedings came about
when W. A. Wolf, special officer in
I the employ of the Arizona Eastern
j railroad, gave the details of the seiz
: ure by Fridlty of the consignment of
I liquor at the express office. Accord -1
ins to Wolf, Fridley seized a trunk

had been taken to Fridley's room.
After Fridley left the stand yester
day the first witness brought by the
defense was Hughes Garr, special in
vestigator for the district attorney's
office, who was excused after a few
questions. Al DeWitt. deputy sher
iff, then told how he, Fridley, Gus
oray, one of the principals in the
nign jacking" case mentioned dur
ing the trial, and Deputy Sheriff Leo
Troutman had searched for and found
Bunk Dykes, another principal in the
"high jacKing," after Gray had re
ported the Incident.
Constable Jay Jones of Buckeve
lestinea mat irridley had approached
him with a proposal to accompany
nun in a search for stills and a wagon
load of intoxicants near Agua Cali-
ente, but the witness was unable to
fix the dates of the conversations.
James Poole, employed by the
American Express company, corrobo
rated the testimony of Wolf concern
ing the seizure of the trunk, and
tow now fte had objected to Frid
ley s breaking open the consignment
without a warrant. He said that
Fridley had convinced . him that he
did not need a warrant, and then
broke open the trunk, taking out a
Dot tie, wnicn ne opened and passed
to the witness and asked him to taste
it. He said that Fridley left out
three or four bottles when he closed
the trunk again, and that he gave one
ot-the flasks to the witness,
Suitcase "Rattled"
Earl Cunningham of Yuma, a staee
anver, toia of naving made several
trips with Fridley. On one of these
trips, he said, Fridley arrested Al
Jones, and on another Fridley had
him drive southwest of Yuma to a
tsuicn car that they found alongside
the road without a driver, and from
which Fridley took two packages
which seemed to contain whiskey.
Fridley brought the packages to his
room, the witness said. He also de
scribed how he had helped Fridley
aboard a train, the defendant having
a heavy suitcase which "rattled."
Stuart L. Bailey of the prohibition
director's office described how Frid
ley had been appointed an enforce
ment agent upon the recommenda
tion of himself, W. T. Webb, the di
rector, and Judge Alfred Franklin,
collector of Internal revenue for the
state. Contradicting Fridley's for
mer assertions that the present case
was a "frame-up" because of differ
ences in political opinion. Bailey de
clared that when Fridley had asked
for the position as agent he had been
told that while it was the policy of
the department to hire Democrats the
fact that Fridley was a Republican
would have no bearing because he was
n ex-soldier, provided that he did
not talk politics on the job. Bailey
also described the operations of the
director s office and its jurisdiction.
John B. Henke, United States com
missioner, contradicted Fridley's a
legation that John H. Langston, as
sistant United States attorney, had
promised immunity to Gus Gray in
the Bunk Dykes case provided he
would testify against the latter. This
contradiction was supported by
Langston who left his place as pros
ecutor and took the witness stand
after Henke.
Offers to Answer
Langston was asked during his
cross-examination by Attorney Pugh
why Gray had not received a heavier
sentence in that case and why he ap
peared to have been treated leniently
by the government. Thomas A
Flynn, United States attorney, here
told Attorney Pugh that If the latter
would use him as a witness ror tne
defense he would be glad to get on
the stand and answer his question.
Pugh refused the offer.
The last witnesses were two at
torneys. W. C. Anderson of Phoenix
and M, J. Dougherty of Mesa. At
torney Anaerson aenieu r nuity s al
legation that he had made a state
ment to the attorney that govern
ment officials were engaged in traf-
f'eking illegally in liquor, while
Daugherty contradicted Fridley's tes
timony that he had not known when
he was placed under bond that it was
to insure his presence at a prelimi
nary hearing. Fridley. before he had
brought the kidnaping charges on
Wednesday, had said that he had be
lieved that his failure to attend the
hearing for which he had been bonded
would mean simply mat ne naa
waived the hearing. Attorney Daugh-
ertv said that the time for the hear
ing had been set in the presence or
Fridley and that there seemed to have
been no misunderstanding about it.
