HABEAS CORPUS Applied to the Case of
 Ed. Hill, The Alleged Washington
 Murderer.
He Goes Into Court With a
 String Tied to Him.
An Experiment Made Just to See How Powerful an Arizona
 Habeas Corpus Is.

A young man WAS permitted to go i'm to court Friday with string tied to him, by way of an experiment. He was Ed Hill, the Washington murderer, arrested last week by Deputy Sheriff George Webb at Blevin's ranch in the Sierra Anchas. Hill was located in this part of Arizona three or four weeks ago by means of photograph sent out by the Washington authorities, and since then the sberif's force here has kept up an unremitting search for him.
 The crime for which Hill is wanted is the murder of 6 companion named Summers at Colfax, Wash., on the 9th of last November. As soon as he was arrested he was quietly brought to the Phoenix jail and every precaution WAS taken against the habeas corpus special ist. The Washington authorities were notified and yesterday morning Sheriff Lathrum of Witcom county arrived with acquisition, which was at once honored by Governor Murphy. Before it was served, however, the thing against which the authorities had been guarding, the habeas corpus proceeding, came about, though they were better prepared for it than they would have heen without the requisition. Hills attorney is J. E. Marks.
 The prisoner was taken into court late in the afternoon. District Attorney Williams was on hand with the warrants for Hills arrest and the various telegrams which had been re- ceived from the Washington authorities relative to the reward, also the tele- gram in which it was enioined that the prisoner shodld be denied all commu- nication with the outside world. The requisition was down stairs in the sheriff's office; this was the "9tring" referred to, which gave Sheriff Murphy so much confidence in his ability to hold the prisoner and which made him, perhaps, rather willing that the habeas corpus proceeding should take place. He was curious, he sad, to see how near habeas corpus could come to opening 8 jail door for a murderer, After an examination of the warrants, telegram and requisition, MT. Marks desired a continuance until 2 o'clock this afternoon that he might in the meantime make a survey of the situ- ation and an investigation of the papers in the hands of the governor. The continuance was accordingly allowed against the protests of the district at. torney, who, taking it for granted that the habeas corpus would fail, remarked that Sheriff Lathrum was anxious to get away tonight with the prisoner.
 Hill is a good looking young man, and judged by his appearance, would not be selected as murderer.

THE NICARAUGUA BILL.

How Private Shareholders VIII Be
 Induced to Surrender Their Stock.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-[ Associated Press l-ln the senate the Nicaraugua bill was taken up and Sherman, in charge, said that all contracts between the canal company and the construction company were to be swept out of ex. istence. The government could start with "clear tables" and it would own $8, ,0O0, ,000 of the Sl6 ,000, ,000 of stock. Twelve millions of the stock is in the hands of private owners and could only be obtained from them by some method of condemnation. Brice inquired whether it would not be the policy of the government to fix the canal tolls so as to leave no divi- dend for stock and whether in that event the $l2,000,000 of stock in the hands of private owners would be of any value to them. Sherman repplied he was not prepared to speak of the value of stocks. Teller intervened Tn the discussion. Sherman declined to submi' the interruption which Teller excused by saying that he had inter- vened because the senators from Ohio had been making misrepresentation. That is false" said sherman, "I do not misrepresent anything. say. again if the government of the United States shall have control of this canal it is not to be presumed that 1t would levy such tolls as would pay dividends on watered stock or any other stock. |" Squires made speech in support of the bill at the close of which the bill was laid aside.

THE UXORICIDE.
Examination of Henry Bentley
 at Los Angeles.
It Is Shown That He Manifested Joy at Sight of the Certificate of
 His Wife's Death.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 18.-IAssociated Press. 1.-The preliminary examination of Henry Bentley charged with having caused the death of his wife, Mrs. Nordholdt Bentley, by giving her strychnine, was held today. Nothing further than developments at the coroner's inquest was testified to. William Nordholdt son of Mrs. Bentley testified to Bentley's glee when the physician made certificate of death due to heert disease, and said: "Im awful glad of that" The nurse of Mrs. Bentley, Mrs Hancsde testified that Bentley administered medicine to Mrs. Bentley from a bottle filled with crystals which looked like salt. Mrs. Bentley used to complain about the medicine, but Bentley coaxed her to take it. Several times she said to Bentley: ''Please don't give me that medicine it nearly kills me" when Bentley insisted of her taking the medicine she said: "You want to kill me and get my pl operty." Once Mrs. Bentley asked the witness to get the bottle containing the medicine and she hunted for it high and low, but could not find it at all. The witness identi- fled the bottle of strychnIne found in Bentley's valise as the same from which he gave the medicine to Mrs. Bentley. When Mrs Bentley died, the witness said she frothed at the mouth. The doctors all testified that it was their opinion that Mrs. Bentley died from an overdose of strychnine,

A RICH STRIKE.

Come to the Front.
 Another rich strike has been made in the Harqua Halas, or rather two old claims which had been all but worked out, have recently developed into paying properties. They are the Car melita and the Sore Finger, both owned by Mrs. J. c. Campcell. A. J. Porterie yesterday made an assay of ore taken from the two mines. The Carmelits ore ran $l03 in gold and the Sore Finger S10l.
 The claims are situated near Harris burg, about six miles this eide of the Bonanza. The ore of the kind from which the assays were made is found in heavy deposits.

THEY WANT RELIEF
From Their NeighborS, the
 NaVajoeS.
A Petition Prepared Yesterday to Be Presented to the New
 Administration.

MT. J. II. Bowman, president of the i've Stock Sanitary commission, has prepared in behalf of the settlers and stockmen in the northeastern part of the territory a petition to the secretary of the interior under the new admins tration. It is calculated to remove a serious and constant menace to the set tiers from the Navajoes and is as fol. lows:
 PHGNIX, Ariz., - 1893. To the Hon. Secretary of the Interior,
 Washington, D. c. SIR; We most respectfully petition and ask that you give the northern portion of our ter. ritOry relIef from the constant invasion and encroachment of the Navajo tribe of Indians, more than one-haf of whom constantly run about with their herds of sheep and horses out side the lines of their reservation, erecting no improvements, paying no taxes, ignorant of and indifferent to our laws and constant menace and annoyance to the settlers, thereby preventing the advancement ot that portion of our territory.
 We therefore pray that you will at an early date investigate the cause of our complaint, feeling assured that you will then adopt such measures us will afford us needed relief.

COOL RECEPTION.
Charley Mltchelrs Welcome Not
 Enthusiastic.

NEW YORK, Feb. l7.-[Associated Press. l-Charley Mitchell, the pugilist, was today refused admission to the United States by Inspector Warnise, chiel of the quarantine guard, on the ground that the immigration laws ex- cluded alien immigrants who have been convCts. The inspector held that Mitchell is an ex-couvicf, having served time in Pentonville prison for beating old man Savage. Mitchell was obliged to stay on board the Majestic, but his friends employed an attorney who served out a writ of habeas corpus and Mitchell was finally permitted to land. The court said that the term "alien i'm migrant in law is aimed at those who come to stay permanently and not to visit. Mitchel's counsel argued that he had simply been sentenced for as- sanlt and was not convicted under the federal laws. The pugilist was served with a'summons in civil suit brought by John Norris, of Springfield, Ohio, who claimed 800 for pilOting Mitchell through Louisiana after the New Or leans fight in 1890.

REV. DIR. PARSONS STATEMENT.
A Personal Explanation of His Connection
With the Board OF Visitors.

A Personal Explanation Of His Connection
With the Board of Visitors.
Rev. DIR. Parsons late yesterday afternoon
called at the District building and presented
the following letter to the Commissioners:
I'm addition to the official report submitted to
you yesterday, signed by a majority OF the
board Of visitors, allow me to make brief
personal statement
Several years ago, at the request OF the
Commissioners, took place on the board OF
visitors, with the sole purpose OF doing what
was in my power to advance the interest OF the
several institutions grouped together as the
Washington Asylum. As you well know there
is no consideration Of any kind for this service.
The various reports made to you at different
times BIZ the board Of visitors will show the
amount of time and patient attention required
in performing this service. Your annual re-
port three years ago contained the result OF an
extended visitation to the leading penal and
reformitory institutions of Massachusetts,,
made in the interests Of improved methods in
the District. l have been panied to see it in
timated in some quarters that this service
might be rendered from unworthy motives.
"In view of what has been published it is but
fair that / should state to you that the only
relation in which / know Mr.. W. H. Stouten-
burgh is intendant of the asylum. He is
not parishioner Of mine, nor related in any
way to my church. The names of the other
two gentlemen attached to the report should
assure the public that the business part Of the
community is duly represented. There are
many things at the asylum that could be i'm
proved if Congress would vote a more liberal
appropriation. Your board Of visitors has
frequently urged the necessity for q new male
work house. Under the limited allowances
nothing more could be done than is now being
done"
