Gambling in Old Mexico-safe In
 Jail Once More.
 This morning a CITIZEN reporter was permitted through the courtesy of Sher- if Panl to interview William Mover Entering the jail the prisoner was found on the first floor, on the west side of the tanks, occupying the furthest cell from the door
 He WAS arrested June 3, 1882, for the murder of Levy, al the Palace hotel. in company with Murphy and Gibson. Last Octobef, with eight other prisoners. he effected an escape from the county jail.
 | The lallor George W. c oler at the last term of court plead guilty to the charge of deliberately allowing them to ] get their liberty, and was fined five hun | dred dollars by the court for the offense. Those who escaped at that tune were: ! William Mover, John Murphy, Dave 1 Gibson, James A. Martin, Pat Mahopey. John Webber, Joseph Casey, Tim Hart | ley and \. l.. I. Westerner. One hun dred and fifty dollars reward was offer ed for their arrest. The break was made m the evening, and the prisoners had plenty of time to make a long distance between them and danger. Casey WAR afterward recaptured at Colorado Cltv. Texas, and Tn trying to make second escape killed Holbrook. Mover IS the second one recaptured. He was arrested two weeks apo last Wednesday in Tom Fitchs office in Denver. The news was telegraphed to Sheriff Paul, who procured the neces- sary papers and went for his prisoner. When Mover was brought back last night he was afraid of the crowd gath cred on the platform, and asked Sheriff Paul to get him through as quickly as possible. When the train stopped Mover, although his ankles were chained, swung himself of the platform Of the car several feet, and started m d straight run for the herdic a Deputy Sheriff had for him, Paal with difficulty keeping near him on account of the throng.
 Going up to the cell Mir. Paul said. Well, Mover, how do you feel this morning ?"
 "l don't feel very vel" he replied.
 "Weil, here Is a reporter who wants to see you, continued the sheriff.
 'l don't know as 1 want to see one. :" said Mover, "I have nothing to say"
 Well, do what you can with hiO." said NIT. Paul to the reporter, well know Ing the tender mercies of the horrible fate 10 which he consigned Mover, and then passed out through the grating. leaving the timld, bashful man of the pencil amid lot Of gigantic Mexicans busy playing with greasy cards.
 The boys ID town would like to know how you liked your trip for the last year. and where you have been?"
 Mover Is dark-cOmplexloned has a smooth face with the exception of small mustache and chin-whiskers. He mas 8 well formed forehead, but it Is high and retreats back on a gentle up- ward incline. A phrenologist would say that had the moral and mental faculties ] been cultivated in early life II would 1 have been of a higher and more noble ! form Mover was very cheerful His l answer was,
 ''Oh, I've been around pretty much l everywhere. 1 don't know as l care to 1 tell just where all 1 was. These shackles | hurt my legs, aud I have had no drink. | l Was down ID the Sierra Madre most of | the time"
 "How do you like Mexico?"
 ''It Is a poor country, unless a man | has plenty of capital to work mines or a railroad"
 ~Were you at work there?'
 "No, l did nothing. l played cards | two or three times"
 Were you at the City of Mexico?"
 "I was no further south than | Durango. The Mexicans are very particular about playing. They only | permit games during the teasts, and in | cities where special permission is given | by the mayors.
 Fl w long after you left Mexico were | you arrested s'
 "I had been in Fl Paso about three | weeks, and then went to Denver. The | boys saw l had some coin and they | wanted to shake me. 4 man named | Jack Harrison, who used to be in the | bank here, came to me several times and | said that Tom Fitch wanted to see me. | So I went up to his office and was ar rested by Rocky Mountain de- | tective named Cook. knew | he was coming, for heard his footsteps l on the stairway. Well, l am back here | agaIn, let me down as easy as you can"
 aYou are charged with the murder of | Levy; were you connected with that st | fair."
 "DCn't know as I am; guess so. Levy | was a hard man."
 "Were you the first or the last to get l out Tn the escape last October?'
 "I don't know whether l was the first I or last to get out; all l know IS | got ] out"
 "Where did you go them"
 "We went to the mountains, and after | wards to Mexico"
 Have you seen anything of Murphy | or Gibson since your escape:
 "Guess not"
 "Have you heard of Casey's scrape"
 "Yes, I read 1t in the papers down in | Sierra Madre at place called PinacelIs. | He made a fool of himself; that was | bad break
 At this point a personal friend of | Movers entered with a bottle of whisky | for him, and the reporter withdrew.
 Sheriff Paul afterward said that Mover | confirmed the account of Cooks story, | who said he had seen them On | the San Pedro river after thelr escape, l and saw them take some grub away | from d Mexican. Mover also confessed | to Paul of having paid several nocturnal visits to Tucson for provisions, but was | not recognized nor did he recognize any one. He IS now safe behind the prison | bars, and if the testimony IS true, of | which there can be TO doubt, he will ac- company Casey to the great furnace. | Mover. previous to his killing Levy, had | been an opium smoker, but hls hardships | in the mountains and in Mexico have | efTeotually broken hIm of 1t. He wlll | now have a chance to practice the tenn perance pledge for awhile whether he l takes 1t or not
