Model Tadian Agent.
Tucson, October 6sh -Tae Star publishes
70 nbiED" NnS report CT tne STrand jury,
charging that the Cibicu prisoners now In
jail here are innocent of any crime, and that
the reZlly guilty Ind;ars were lorg ago per-
mitted to escape through the connivance of
indian Agent Tiffany. That officer, it ap.
pears from the evidence given to the Grand
Jury, not only arranged to have the guilty
Indians get away, but he purposely arrested
the innocent Indians, and kept them in con.
tnement for months to cover the fight of the
murderers. That it was no mistake, but
conspiracy, Is shown by the evidence of H.
disns to-day, to whom Tiffany revealed his
plan, and told them that this was the only
way to save the others from being hung or
shot. TIE Indians also testified 20 regular
system of barter of Indian goods by Tiff any
with merchants of Globe, Maxey and other
points. Tho investigation reveals condi.
ton OF grand peculation and dishonesty that
excels anything of the kind ever known Oh
the frontier.
