the $1,000 he set about preparing the
plRps by which to carry his product. He
watched Mr.. Bowman, and RsCsItainsd
discourse to and from his residence.
He says that on the evening Of Noyem'
ber 2l, 1885, MIR, Bowman approached his
residence, while he, the assassin, stood

WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 14.-It begins
10 look as though the willy Geronimo has
played sharp game upon his captors,
and some officials are inclined to the opin.
ion that the savage murderer will bs able
to etcape punishment. 1t was stated that
he had surrendered Internationally, but
Il appears that he made q stipulation, q

that he should not BIZ turned over to the

who effected the capture, It ia question
whether or not he and his band can be
made 10 atone for their crimes. II was at
frat thought ho might be brought before
o military commission, but the statutes
specify that commission can only be
summoned In time Of war.
The case Of the perpetrators Of the Sioux
massacre In Minnesota during the late
war was cited. They were tried by o
military commission, and thirty.eight oil
them were hanged as the result, and 1t
was argued that they were melted TO their
murderous work by agents Of the Rebel.
lion, and 1t was part oil the movements
OF the Confederate forces to create divi.
sion OF the Northwest, and draw thither
part OF the Union army for the suppres.
sion OF the hostile red men. In the pres.
ent case Geronimo cannot be treated as
the head OF q hostile nation, against which
this government had declared war, and
there being no war military commission
cannot be summoned In accordance with
the law, nor can he be tried by court mar.
tial, for such courts are only Tor officials Of
the army who have violated army regula.
tiona.
Now, unless he can in some way be
turned over to the civil authorities, there
does not appear to be any chanc, Of his
getting his just deserts. That he richly
deserves death not even the most ardent

been issued by the War Department.
