END WHAM ROBBERY CASE.
Leslie Webb and Jack Felshaw
 Get Ten Years.
A Startling Defense Made-A Convict ed Man Claims to be the Robber
 But Vainly.

Last night three men left Arizona to be long time gone. They are former residents of Graham county, Messrs. Leslie Webb, Jack Felshaw and man named Jackson. Stage robbers they are, by their own confession. Jackson goes for life and Webb and Felshsw for ten years each.
 The men were in separate hold-ups, but there is a connection ia the affairs, made by the defense, that psrtakes very much of the sensational.
 United States Attorney Ellinwood is back from attending federal court at Florence, before Judge Rouse. He brings report ss foregoing.
 The details of the robberies the CITIZEN has already given. On the 9th of January last the FelshawWe Weob- Windsor affair occurred. According to their own story money orders to the value of $500 were purchased at Selo- knoxville, payable to Milo Webb, of Deming, N, M., brother of Leslie Webb. It was known to them that the money from money orders had to be forwarded promptly to the Tacson depository. The scheme was therefore to rob the stage containing the S600 and cash the money orders at Deming. But the scheme fell through. Webb rode in stage, carrying the orders payable to his brother in his pocket. To make 8 long story short Fslshsw, Webb and an old man namedWindsor held up the stage and got away with the booty. But their plans went aglee. They were suspected, arrested and convicted. Payment was stopped by wire on the money orders.
 Another robbery was by two men, Jackson and Martin. They held up the same stage, eight miles out of Solomon vile. Both were convicted recently and Martin got five years and Jackson 8 life sentence.
 Ths Jscksun- Martin trial came first. Jackson, Felshaw and Webb were con- fined in the same cell in jail. There they connected defense for the Eel shah and Webb that is the most start ling and original in the annals of ArIzons crimes Jackson had already been sentenced for life and therefore could not fare any worse. When the Felshaw-Webb case was called, behold Jackson was produced by MT. Heney tor the defense as witness. He testih- ed to the cold fact that he, Jackson, did the robbery of which Feishaw and Webb were accused. The details had been drilled into him for two weeks, and he was thoroughly posted on his part. But when the defense after letting Jackson testify that ne did the robery, handed him over to the prosecu- rion. Attorney Ellinwood regarded the witness with contempt and did not cross examine him. This was a sore disappointment to the defense. MT. Heney made one of the strongest fights of his life in the case, and tried to con- pei a cross examination. In the course of his speech to the jury he said he had rigbt to expect cross examination of the witness.
 The case proved almost 8 second
 Wham robbery affair. SIxty-hve wit nesses were on hand, all the way from Solomonville, and forty-four were put on the stand. The case did not look strong against Felshaw and Webb until further evide nee in the case was obtain ed through Windsor himself, their com panion. He admitted to the crime and revealed the hiding place of some of the money from the mall bags. This was confirmed by the numbers of the curr- ency The postoffice regulations require that all money sent by offices have the numbers of the bills taken, at both ends. This was done and the numbers on the money found were that of the postofice record.
 The defense was an alsbi, the father and sisters of Webb testifying to bis being a few miles beyond Pima on that day. MT. Elllnwood says they appeared mixed on the days however.
 When the trial was over and the mSn convicted, they told the whole story of the affair to Mir. Elliuwood.
 Windsor was fined S1000 and given
 hirty days in jail
