Que Of The last things done by Judge
Sloan before closing cour. here last week
was to pass sentence on the prisoners
convicted during the term. A Mexican
who had been convicted OF stealing 80
from Mr. Wilson 10 this place, was sent
10 Yuma for two years. Next came
Frank Nelson, who had been convicted
Of numbering woman and her child a.
Bonita last Jnly. Nelson was a dis
charged soldier and had been living with
the woman. She, howewsr, left him,
which enrzged him to such an extent
that he told several parties that he in.
tended 10 kill her. On the morning oi
the killing Nelson went 10 the hoass Of
Mr.. Chapman and was sitting on the
front porch when Mr.. Chapman drove up
in a wagon. The woman came Clp about
that time carrying her child, and asksd
Chapman II he would haul her over 70
the post. Immediately Nelson pulled a
six-shooter and began firing, killing both
woman and child. He was arrested on
the spot by Mr.. Chapman. Mr.. p. j..
Bolan, who defended Nelson, made =
strong plea 10 the court for mercy, but 10
no avail, and the court sentenced him 10
hang on the 10th day Of December. An
tonic Granada was also sentenced TO hang
on the same day. He is the Mexican
| who killed his wife and daughter at Nor
enci last summer. His crime was 80
brutal that many believed that insanity
must have been the canse, though there
was nothing TO show II in the trial Judge
Barnes also addressed the court in plea
for mercy for Granada. The hanging OF
these men will make three this year, who
have paid the highest penalty for crime,
and ii IL hoped that these executions will
have the desired effect Of lessering the
number OF murders In Graham county
and southern Arizona. .--Bulletin.
