I'll come and camp with you till I gel
 the money or the whisky
 Last Tuesday got A wagon and 2
 drlyer named Graham and started tC
 the st ttlon. We got there about II
 o'clock on Thursday, and I went in
 and Graham sat outside in the wagon, 1 When l went in 1 spoke to him | pleasantly and asked him to pull \
 cork ou. of a bottle of beer. He in. | qulred, what are you here for? That lO gallons of whisky 1 answered. He
 said, have you got any money? I told
 him no. We'll said he, you can't have
 it. Said l. 'I'll have it or the money. ,
 l noticed him looking at something np-
 der the counter and thought it was
 gun. Pretty soon he grabbed it, point
 ed 1t at me and yelled, 'I'll pay you
 you s-- of a b-.' I begged him
 not to shoot. His gun didn't work well
 and he kept trying to shoot ani swear ing. l ran around behind another counter and pulled my gun and fired. think hit him in the side. Anyway
 he tiinched and squealed, Oh; you 8
 - of b-, I'll get you yet All the tune he kept working his gun and started toward nae I fired the second shot and he squealed again; I fired once more and he fell, and his gun fell beside him on the floor
 All this time Graham was sitting outside afraid to come in and when the old man fell called to him to come. he looked in and saw how Fry lay, with the gun by his side."
 Are you sure you left him dead ?" inquired the reporter.
 "Yes, for 1 stretched him out gnd covered him with cloth. 1 didn't ex- anime his wounsds, but think one was Tn his side and the other two in the stomach. l went to an old German farther up the gulch and told him to come down and stay until could send somebody back from Phoenix. The old man was afraid, but when l got back to the station two tramps had come and l left them with the body"
 After having related the details of the tragedy Gray said that he considered Fry dangerous man, always ready to l resort to his revolver and said that two | or three weeks ago the old man ran his | son away from the station. lie also | made the startling statement that Fry | had proposed tD him soon afte~ the | saloon was opened to lay in wait for | and travellers who seemed ! to be in good circumstances and dope | them with liquor and Fry said he would do the rest.
 He had strong hog hook and there was deep and abandoned prospect hole in the vicinity which would make t safe. The prisoner says he can find man who overheard this inhuman pro- posal.
 Gray came from Denver two years sgo for his health. He has work sd as stage driver between here and Prescott when his health would permit md at other times he has resided in phenix doing odd jobs about the court house. He is well liked and is not re- ,arded as a man who would commit vilful murder. He says in thIs case ,is greatest regret after the killing is hat so small a sum should have it about and he further says hat he had given up getting the money md would not have gone after it if he lad not been told by Fry to come.
 The dead man is we'll known in Phe- liv and now has two married daugh. CTS residing in the city. He came to he territory several years ago from )hio and was the father of Frank Fry, whose killing by man named Wagner, ear Phoenix, is well remem bered. This ast affair took place in Yavspai county nd Sheriff Murphy yesterday morning otified the authorities of that county i Gray's detention.
