Jury weighs necessity in Wootton deportation case
The court outlined two key phases for the jury to decide if H E Wootton forcibly deported Fred Brown during the Bisbee deportation on July 12 1917. It instructed the jury to find if Brown was forcibly taken or volunteered, and to consider whether conditions in the Warren District made the deportation necessary.
