 TOMBSTONE. Feb. 16.-The trial of
 James Heith, as an accessory to the Bis
 bee mUrderers is in progress. The tes-
 timoI y against him is very damaging
 and h convIchon is assured. Sergent
 Lawrence, a fellow prisoner Of Heith,
 testifo this morning that Keith told
 him since his incarceration that Tex
 Howar.i was to blame for his being in
 trouble; that when Tex parted from hlm
 Tn BistJee on the morning of December
 ith, to 70 out to Brickles' ranch and uo-
 tify tE remainder of the gang to prepare
 for tn, raid, the understanding was that
 Tex " not to return with Dowd and
 the Oth '-s. but continue on 10 Clifton. so as | be able to prove an alibi in case suspIc: n pointed toward hIm and Heitb. This plan was agreed upon be- cause it had been remarked about Bis bee, and had got to the ears ot Heith, that he and Tex were train robbers Tex returned with the other bandits for the reason that he wanted to meet Dep- uty Sheriff Daniels and get even on him for circulating the report mentioned by Lawrence; also testified to Heith bringing saws with him into jail snd payment of forty dollars to the dis charged prisoner to procure a file for him. It is understood that Tex has offered to give the whole thing away, but Lawrence's evidence has so com pletely convicted Heith, that it is thought Tex will not be used. All of the Bisbee murderers so far convicted state that they intend taking an appeal to the Supreme Court, if Judge Pinney denies the motion for new trial on Monday next. This action will re- suit in their being hung ID advance of the time to be fixed by law. The evidence IS so convincing and damaging against | them that the community will not per init them a reprieve of year on &C., count of the laws delays.
