by Mir. Lacy, went to Crimes house where Crime was found and placed under arrest.
 Again I say, if the first part of the above statement is true, why did Sheriff Lowther wait till Wednesday morning to make the arrest and then go with Capt. Lacy, whom had advised to go and se- cure Grimel Furthermore, why was it that, when went to Crimes house three times Tuesday evening to catch him, that 1 did not see anything of Mir. Bullock, who had been sent there to watch him2
 Again John M. Jones, the celebrated detective, says:
 ''In regard to the arrest of L. V. Crime it is evident that the facts given to Lacey at the time referred to, led to his capture at the Mack Morris mill. The Sheriff having observed the impression of the small foot in the yielding soil on the mountain, Lewis and Dempsey being with him at the time Sunday when Lewis measured 1t, but were unable then to di vine who could have worn so small shoe. 7"
 That statement carries it's own contra diction. It admits that Lowther's only clue was the small foot print" observed lin the sand" and then goes on to say that none of them were able to "divine who could have worn so small a shoe. !" If no one could imagine who had foot small enough to make track of that size how in the name of common sense could the discovery of the track have lied to tho capture" of Crime at the Mack Mor- ris mill2 I will state further in this con nection that the boots worn by Crime when captured measured an inch and a half longer than did the ''foot print in the sand" Beside this, there are two men ill Globe who have feet the same size and shape as were those of Crime, and had we been guided by that foot print in the sand" either or both of them would have been just as liable to arrest as was young Crime.
 The remainder of the foolish effusion with which this puissant chief of the Globe constabulary has burdened the columns of the Belt is equally as replete in inconsistencies and inaccuracies as is the portions 1 have quoted, and carries the brand of weak falshood on the face of it. It Is hardly worth while to prick the bub- ble farther, but desire in vindication of your report, Mir. Editor, and to prevent the public from being misled by future vaporous emanations from the vacuous cranium of John NJ Jones, the celebrated detective, to give summary of the pur- suit and capture over my own signature.
 When I arrived in Globe no one could give me the slightest clue to the murderers or expressed any suspicion as to who they were till got into conversation with Capt. Lacey and Lindsley Lewis; Lacey said he suspicioned young Crime because he had loaned the latter new gun the day be- fore the murder, and the gun showed it had been fired and that there were dents in the stock caused by striking it against the rocks, and further because young Crime, usually first to appear when his company was called out, had not shown up, or had anything to say about the mur der. said this was good evidence and we went to work. Shortly after Lacey and myself went to the gunsmith shop to compare cartridges. Cicero Crime and several other men were in there, but did not know Crime However, he seem ed uneasy and looked guilty. When he went out I said to Lacey, "that man Is guilty, who is hef' And when told 1t was Cicero Crime, still said he was guilty, as the men present will testify. Shortly af terward we learned that young Crime had gone down to the Wheat Fields to go to work, and Lacey, Lewis and myself start ed immediately for that point to capture him. When within half mile of the mill We held consultation, each one of | fering different suggestion. It was fin 1 ally decided that Lewis, who had rela- tive the mill and would therefore not be so apt to arouse suspicion, should go ahead and ascertain where Crime was and whether he had any partners with him. Lacey and were to follow inside of 15 minutes and join Lewis at the mill. When we got there Lewis had gone up to Crime on the grade and was bringing him down to the mill. We asked gentleman there for the use of his room for few minutes and took Crime in there to examine him. Lacey and Lewis both cross-questioned him and occasionally the Gabriel family would chip in, but he showed no signs of guilt till l stepped up excitedly and said, Lacey, that Is the man who shot Andy Hall, was standing across the gulch and saw him shoot Andy after he was lying on the ground. Arrest him at once. :" Crime then weakened, confessed and told who his accomplice was. Lacey, Lewis, the prisoner and myself then started tow ard Globe. But after travelling about 2 miles we came to the conclusion that if we expected to get the money we would have to keep Crime away from Globe, and so we told Lewis to take him over to the Golden Eagle mill, where Ellsworth was in charge, and keep him there till we should arrive that night. Lacey and then went on to Globe, and arrived there about 8 or g o'clock (Where was John NJ Jones, the celebrated detective, all this time? He was probably hunting foot prints on the left hand side of the street in the rear of Hackney's office. } On arriving in Globe 1 asked Lacey where Hawleys house was and we went to a house near Lacey's stable but did not find anyone I then came down town and asked faro dealer, whose name I have forgotten, if he knew where Hawley lived and he did. l then offered to pay him to show me where he lived, and he said he did not want any pay but would show me. We went to the house and was informed by Mexican family living there, that Hawley had been gone an hour; said l wanted to rent room and asked if could get one. They thought I could. went up town and met Mir. Salter, and L l. U. L
