rHF rrwKsBuRY HEARING,

In the case of the Territory vs. Ed
 Tewksbury for the alleged murder oi
 Thomas Graham, near Tempe, Marieo-
 pa county, August End, the defense
 rested the case September 3rd, after Introducing testimony showing that
 Tewksbury was in Gila county, about
 150 miles from Tempe, when the crime
 was committed, and of tue truth of
 which we have not doubt, notwith-
 standing the testimony introduced up-
 on the part of the prosecution,
 The alibi, we think, was clearly es-
 tablished by Joseph Rover, living l6
 miles this side of Pleasant Valley.
 Mir, Boyer's testimony is that he | CTewksbury) was at his place on the
 first day of August, and he saw him there that day. TewksbuIy remained about half an hour, bought some fruit, and went east; he was riding a chest nut sorrel horse, with white hind feet, and branded, J.J. Hardenburg was there also. Tewksbury had suit of dark colored clothes
 Charles E. Thomas corroborated the testimony of Boyer, except that he did not hear of the murder of Graham un- til four days afterwards, when be read it in the Globe paper Mir Thomas is in the employ of Charles Bouquet and testified that Tewksbury was at Bou- quot's ranch on the first.
 Jacob B. LaufTer who lives in the Sierra Anchas, 16 miles north of Bou- quots ranch said that Tewksbury, on the night of August first, stayed at his ranch and went to Pleasant Valley the next morning.
 William Vorhis testified that he saw Tewksbury August 2nd, the day of the murder at old man Tewksbury's ranch on Cherry Creek, Gila county
 George F. Wilson, in charge Of New toB's ranch near Cherry Creek, miles distant from the Sr Tewlsbury ranch, testified that he saw Ed Tewksbury at Newton's ranch August 2nd
 Dick Williams testified That he saw Tewksbury at Newton's ranch August 3rd.
 The witnesses above enumerated saw and eonversed with Tewksbury in Gila county, on the days above stated, while those who testified for the pros ecution identified him on the fly, and therefore it is probable that they are mistaken in their Identification; and living in a community greatly excited, are satisfied in their own minds that one of the two men alleged to have been seen at the rear end of Graham's wagon, was Tewksbury and that they saw his receding form on the road.
 Three witnesses testified positively to seeing Tewksbury in Gila county, on the day on which Graham was killed in Maricopa county, and two testified to seeing him the previous ! day; and there are others who will also testify, when called, to seeing Tewks- bury in Gila county, on that day, over a hundred miles distant from Tempe.
 In connection with the testimony above referred to, it is pertinent to give the statement of the Justice in holding Tewksbury to await the action of the grand jury without bail. Ac- | to the Phnnix Herald, of the | 9th inst. he said ''the evidence pre- sented showing that the preponder- ance of the evidence was presented by the prosecution and that the alibi pre- sented was defective, the witnesses not being sure of the day they saw Tewks- bury at Tonto Basin"
 Five men who know Tawksbury per sonally, swore positively that they saw him on the lst and 2d of August, so far distant from the scene Of the mur- der that it would have been utterly for him to have reached there. A sixth witness swore that he saw him in the same vicinity on the evening of Aug. 3d. There is no evi- dence of the impeachment Of any one of these witnesses, and we now ask how this coincidcs with the statement of the Justice in Temanding the pris- oner without bail?
 The Herald of the date referred to says: 'Mr Wharton was noticeably | alive to every iota of evidence present. ed and during the trial was strictly 
 Comment is unnecessary.
 Tho decision of Justice Wharton in holding Tewksbury to appear and an- swer without bond was, without doubt, { q source of qualification to the chief actors in the Tempe meeting who so roundly denounced Justice Huson for permitting Rhodes to go hence with out day, and, therefore, t would be in with their feelings to re- convene and express their grati6cation at the result Of their finding in the Tewksbury case.
