fendant took the stand and at lengt detsiled every incident of she crim, ] fully duplicating himself and .Bfl
 MeClintoels as principals of Che thetr
 who, he said, put up the job and atai
 with it until it was completed by 6h
 sale and delivery of the cattle, in Pho
 nix, to the Goldman Brothers, an,
 and pecketed one-halfef tue price pail
 for the cattle.
 Booths relation of the theft, drive
 and sale waa complete, leaving noth
 ing to be explained. It was a plain
 unvarnished tale, and was listened t,
 throughout by a greatly interested
 court jury, and throng of appreclatiy,
 listeners. Booth concealed nothing
 and in this instance truth contained ar
 echo of sadness, in this, that Booth was the,only one adjudged to pay the
 penalty of the crimo. He was sen.
 fenced to serve a term of five years in
 the Territorial prison, to take effect
 after tho expiration of previous sen
 teuoe for burglary, of five years. His
 brothers John and Nick were also sen fenced to the same reformatory insti- tuition, fer the same on7ense, for four years each.
 On Thursday morning the Booths and Harry Hancock, given two years for aggravated assault, were staItod for the Yuma prison in charge of Sher- iG Thompson and W. B. Garland, where they will be detained until dis charged by operation of law.
 Concerning tho statements made by w. ". McChntock in tho Zacl1 Booth larceny trial, we learn from District Attorney P. T, Robertson, the follow ing; This ease came before the April Grand Jury and there being no evi- deroe to convict McClintoek with the crime, the Grand Jury satisfied them selves by finding bill of indictment against Zack Booth In the meantime a complaint against McCdntock had been laid before Justice Geo. c. Strong. and during Che summer, sh sriT Thompson arrested NIeCHutoek som where upon tho Mogollon mountains. and took him before Justice pylo, of Payson Juatiae Pyle, without await ing to acquire proper jurisdieG0n, al lowed McClintock to waive an exam nation and held him so await tae ac- -ion Of the October Grand Jury, and .ook bond for his MeChntock's) ap- pealanc@ in Globe at that time.
 The whole proceeding wag so irrcg llar and done in such shape as to ron- Ter it impossible for the Territory to 'ecover anything on the bond so taken. 1 t had been ramorsd, and had SC been lated to the officials, that McOlintook i lad introduced Booth to Goldman, at 'h@nix, as "AIr. Jones" and it vas on 1 his supposed testimony and tho testl. i nony of o.i9 Bert Gibson, who he'd | cen them in company with each other n route to Ph@nix, that the Territory ioped to be able to convict each of i hem sBooth and 1IeClintoak
 The night before the trial of Booth sas had, McClintock reported to the District Attorney at bis office and fered himself as 9 witness for tse Goscoution, asking that bo be pro- ] ected from any prosecution and at the ame time protesting his iunoccuce of ny companionship with Booth in the rime, The District Attorney advised i'm that it was not hls desire as prose. uting attorney to see an innocent lan put to trouble, and asksd for h.s III statement MeClintock without ny hesitation gave his full statement 3 detailed at length on the witaass i ard and then was assttoa tlial Le ould bo protected so long as his iu oceuce Of crime could be maintained Iessrs. Cox and Street were present the interview between acCHutouk ad the District Attorney and concur q with iit In courEe pursued by him. Bert Gibson had not appeared to tes- fy and could not be found, and it ow became necessary to have Me iintocS's testimony in ordar to se- fro Booah'sconviction The 1IeClin- ,o6 case reported by Justice P yle was aced before the Grand Jury and by lem passed by. The next day, after le interview between the District At- 'rney and hcChntock, the Booth .se came on for trial and McClhtock ade his statement without any fal- ring, and precisely as ho had madoit
 the District Attorney. Goldman hile on the witness stand denied that eClintook had eyerintroducod Booth him, thus corroborating BIeClintock this particular.
 The Territory has never been able
 any way to connect 8IcCdntoek ith the crime. That @ good many a ink him guilty is true; but no state- s ent has ever been made directly Co ( Q officials that would establish case l probable cause Of his guilt save the e atemeDt made by zaok Booth, after f saw he was convicted.
