What II. H. aan Has to Say.

This morning, in company with Under convicted of killing Bishop at Flagstaff or or about the 24th of September, 1881, anc for which he is about tu pay the penalty fol said sad and lamentable act.
 Mir Hall was quite talkative, and feeling as well as circumstances would permit. He informed us that he had been married, and lost his wife, that he had a son living, aged T years, and that he himself is 50 years old; that all the sensational stories about what he has done, crininsting himself, etc. arc mere bOsh He admitted to having shst one man in the Indian Territoy, but claims that it was in the discharge of his duty, as he was at the time acting as Deputy Sheriff He claims that he served over four years in the Union army as a federal soldier, and that portion of said period was in the south. He intimated that his duties in that locality were severe and not calcu- lated to engraft into mind or soul anything very moral He told us that during his hcIflSc III lHc SAH4g uc Ndo SiA luoes wounded
 When relating the sad occurrence at Flag staff he claimed that he had no intention of harming Bishop, and that Bishop was the aggressing party, etc. He informed us that a gentleman at Flagstaff, by the name of Barricl0r, knowI his history well, and will vouch for his good record through life. He emphatieslly denies shooting Bishop, and lay. the blame at the door of other parties. He is resigned to the fate that a waits him.
 He gave us the following triangular names of some of the noted characters who resided around Flaffstaff and made living by trust ling" as he terms it, about the time that Bishop was killed:
 Blind Jim, Deadwood Charley, Rurri- cane Bill, Josh Lock, Chuckaluck Jimmy, Long Me, Ed German, Horse Thief Bill, Three Band Jimmy, and other names of equal poetical savor.
 The history of Halls life Ca true one) would be very interesting, and we think some of our young literary gents might make fame and lucre by looking into this matter.
