Sentenced.

This morning al ten o'clock court opened and those convicted during the late term of court were brought before the court 10 receive their sen tences.
 Lopez, convicted of robbery, receiv- ed seven years. He said before being sentenced that he could not see why a man had to go to jail without proof.
 Salazar and Contreras, each received for the crime Of grand larceny, four years. The former had nothing to say and the latter asked the judge to make the sentence light as possible.
 Doremas, convicted oi manslaughter received ten years.
 WheB the court had finished with these prisoners he turned to Mark Smith and i1timsted that he was ready for argument in the motion for a new trial. Mir. Smith referred 10 the reasons why new trial should be granted, the most prominent of which were that the defendant was cempell- ed to sit during a trial when he was physically and mentally unfit to aid his counsel in any manner what ever, That a material witness was absent owing to sickness and that the had been forced upon the defendant, notwithstanding an affidavit to that effect was before the court and thaI the court had erred in charging the jury.
 Attorney General Herring for the prosecution, said lew words contra to the points raised by the defense and intimated that had the witness for the defense taken the stand, the verdicl of the jury would have been one oi more severity.
 The judge oyerruIed the motion for s Dew trial and asked the defendant to stand up. He asked whether he had anything to say, why sentence should not be passed and the response being in the negative. he sentenced him to ten years imprisonment, the full limit allowed by the statute.
 Thirty days were granted to file bil, of exceptions

More Proof.

Ex-Sherif Slaughter went down to Benson last night and returned this morning. He substantistes the testi- mony Of twenty men that the dead outlaw is Geronimo. He found upon his body the scars made by the buck shot which he threw into him on the night that he gave him the slip at Charleston. A Mexican who went from this town to see his body alec says that it is the man. This fellow ran with Geronimo three years,
 Davis of Wilcox, for whom Geroni- mo worked for long time, described q number of marks on his hands and person when he knew him. Upon investigating the body these marks were found just as described.
 There are one or two persons who for some object best knswn to them selves are stoutly declaring that the dead man is not Geronimo but the reward will no doubt be paid, as it should be, to the plucky posse which ridded the community oi this des- perado.

tols and began shooting, I began to shoot, there were other shots fired around me and my party, but don't know who fired them. Alter they had ran about two hundred and fifty yards one of them fell from his horse, the other one kept on the road, still shoot ing for about 200 yards further than he turned to the ieit and jumped his horse into ditch of water, and the horse begged down, the Mexican either unped off or fell of his horse. When he got on his feet he fired his fifth shot and the best | couid see. the last saw ol him he wss in the brush trying toput cartridge in his pistol. About an hour after we had started to Benson with the dead man, Geo Will son overlook us and told me that they had found the other man that had got away from us, we turned back. got the wounded man and brought him to Benson. We found two horses and one saddle in possession of the prison CTS. one of which I recognized as be- longing to Mir. Jones and the other in the charge of MT. Wakefield. Whet- stone mountains.
 Sam Bohn testified substantially as the others of the party.
 This testimony is about all there is to be told of the pursuit and capture of these outlaws
 Geronimo was recognized by several men who knew him well. photo graph was also taken of him after death with 8 Kodak camera. Burt Alvord who arrested him once and had seen him many times, recognized him St once upon seeing the body. Ex-sheriff Slaughter is in town and was of course pleased to hear of the death of the worst character in the county during his term of office. At one time VicIOrio Sandovsl, the fellow who surrendered without shooting, was employed by Slaughter to trail Geronimo and locate him. H sbei ng in company with the outlaw on hIs last raid goes to prove that he was no more a trustworthy scout than the majority of Apaches who are paid for that service by the government.
 The two men who were captured are now in the county jail having been bound over to appear before the grand jury. They were brought up by Sher- if Gray of Benson. Their names are respectively Victoria Sandoval and Guadalupe Redondo. The latter has A flesh wound which is not hurting him much. Evidence is coming to light which will lay st the door of at least one of the prisoners and Geroni- mo volume of crimes which will prove almost incredible.
 Sandovol is very talkative and among other murders which he states were committed by Geronimo was that of Duncan about year ago in the Huaehuea mountains. There is suf- fcient evidence to connect him with nearly every stage robbery committed in southern Arizona and the half of his devilment has not been told.
 THE VERDICT.
 We, the undersigned jurors find that Santiago Morano known as Geronimo Miranda came to his death from a ganshot wound the 18th day of June, 1891 at the hands of pursuing party. We find the killing justifable and ex- onerate all parties concerned.

Another dying patient was sent from the Ger.

German Hospital doctors propose 20 keep
right on sending them Just as long az the law
permits them to do so.
That tho private or endowed hospitals Of
this city have been exercising this privilege
has been matter of complaint for years. The
Bellevue authorities say that it is done to keep
down the percentage Of deaths in those other
Institutions. and that the transfers have been
made time and again when the patients were
so weak tina. the removal must have fastened
their deaths. The last Grand Jury declared
that this isn't so. 1t would be interesting to
learn whether they consulted the Bellevue
staff or not
