Cross examination of Sheriff Harry C Wheeler reveals his actions from the strike start to the July deportations. He describes going to Bisbee after a telegram, meeting citizen committee, organizing deputies, suppressing news, and coordinating with leaders of Loyalty and Protection Leagues. He denies certain orders, confirms arming deputies, and cites fear of trouble if prisoners were handed to troops. The testimony emphasizes the district’s tension, chain of command, and alleged influences behind the deportation plan.
