TUCSON, August 25th.-A Citizen special
gives the following further particulars of the
hanging of Hawley and Grimes: Andy Hall
was one of the most trusty of the company's
messengers, and had a very favorable record
as one of PowelPs men, who some years ago
explored the Colorado canyon. They also
acknowledge the killing of w. f. Vail, ma
tive of Syracuse, n. Y, who accidentally
happened tc bs in the vicinity of the rob
Dery. hsst evening" DeIWeeu Lou anu o
o'clock, the Sheriff and posse brought in from
the bloody tanks the two prisoners, Hawley
and Grimes, and at once placed them in the
Jail. As soon as it became known that they
were in town large meeting took place at
the Jail, and after considerable parley between
the officers and the people the prisoners were
surrendered and taken TO DIR. Stalla's
hall. where court of inquiry was
organized and full hearing had.
1t was decided to hang them without delay.
The prisoners asked for three hours time,
and promised to reveal the hidden place of
the money stolen. This was acceded to. and
they, in company with about thirty citizens,
repaired to the foothills of the Pinal noun
tains. about four miles from town, and there
pointed out the hiding place of the money.
Most of it was found and taken in charge
by Mr.. Vosburg, agent Of the express COM
psny at this place. The party then returned
to town and reassembled at the hall, when
Hswley asked for time to make out written
confession and arrange his worldly affairs.
This was granted, and at quarter before 2
o'clock this morning the church bells were
heard to toll. A procession was formed,
guarding the prisoners on either side by
well-armed men, and moved in the direction
of large sycamore tree on Main street, near
Pinal creek. All was quiet aud orderly, net q
word being spoken or whisper heard as the
solemn march advanced, the prisoners not
even fiinching or expressing sign of fear
but advanced with a firm step. and in short
time were dangling in the air. both fastened
to the limb Of the same tree. The business
houses, including the saloons, closed their
doors early in the evening, and not the least
disorder occurred, and not drunken man
was seen on the streets. Thus ended this
terrible scene of retributive justice to hard
ened criminals. A brother of the young
Grimes executed, who was engaged here in
the photograph business, is also confessed
participant in this affair. but owing to his
not being on the ground when the shooting
was done, he was remsnded hack TO Jail to
await further action. The dead men were
left hanging to the tree until s o'clock this
morning, when an inquest was held by the
Coroner and the bodies handed over to the
Sheriff.
