Arrested on Suspicion.

Sheriff Orme and Deputies George, John Slankard and James Gibson reached the scene of the murder about half past two o'clock. Mrs. Smith, who had been in fainting condition had recovered consciousness and told them that about eight or nine o'clock the night before J. c. Draper, neigh bor, living three miles north had paid her husband $200. There was suspicion shared by some of the neighbors that this had afforded the motive for the crime and that To one but Draper knew about it. Sheriff Orme and Deputy George went to Draper's house, arrested him and brought him to the county jail where he was Reld until in the afternoon when he was discharged on the order of District Attorney Millay and coroner's jury exonerating him from implication in the crime. An, other person was suspected but the officers satisfied themselves of his inno- cence,

J. c. Draper.

Carroll Draper, who for nearly twelve hours was locked in cell under suspicion of having committed this murder, is 8 man against whose repu- tation no word has ever been said. He is industrious and thoroughly honest and was on terms of particular inti- macy with the murdered man. As he spoke of the killing yesterday tears ran down his face, not tears of fear. but those of grief for his dead friend. His arrest was based solely on the circum- stance that he had made that Sunday night payment and that probably he was the only man outside the Smith residence that knew the money was there. The feeling in that neigh bor- hood was strong against him yesterday morning, but in the afternoon there was no doubt of his innocence. Other stronger feeling had grown up against the other suspects and the jail officials were warned to guard against a lynch ing party which might be organized there and receive accessona in the city.

HALF A LAW. The Assembly FaVors Woman Suffrage. The Bill Passes by a TWO-ThirdS Vote. Indications Point to the Prohi- bition of Cigarettes. The Governor Registers His First Veto on Bill Defective
 in Form.

The most exciting event of the Eighteenth legislative session occurred yesterday in the passage in the assem- bly, of house bill No. l, conferring the right to vote upon the women of Ari- zona by an overwhelming majority of more than two to one. Of so much in- terest was the discussion of the bill and the prospect that it might reach a vote that the council adjourned and most of the members were in the assembly chamber actively alive to the progress of the measure.
 A proposition in the house to advance a subs titute to the cigarette prohibition out of it's regular order brought out what might be construed to be test vote indicating final passage of the bill. The proposition failed only by one of obtaining the needed two-thirds majority.
 In both branches resolutions were offered asking 8 joint investigation of certain charges made by the Arizona Star against Secretary Bruce ir connection with the awarding of the territorial printing.

More Are StS.

Deputies Gibson and SIankard and others followed the railroad track south. A short distance this side of Tempe they overlook four strangers, one of which evidently did not belong to the crowd. Two of the men tried to run, but were halted and captured. One of them had 41-calibre Colts revolver and the other threw away P hammerless Smith & Wesson. Both seemed to be thoroughly frightened. Three of them were taken back to the Smith residence and the startling discovery was made that their shoes fitted the peculiar short, broad tracks. They were con- fronted by the wife of the murdered man, but what she said or did when she saw them is withheld by Acting Coroner Kincaid until the close of the inquest.
 They were brought to jail. In their pockets were found two "master keys," with which any ordinary lock can be opened. They had also bundle con- taining seven new pairs of pants from which the price tags had not been re- moved, and lot of new silk handker- chiefs. They gave the names of Ben iamin Earl, Harry Johnson and Thos. Mcdonald. They were not communi- cative, but said they had not been to Phoenix. Constable Compton, oi Tempe, identified them as a party oi tramps who had been camping near the bridge for several days and had been buying supplies at Tempe.

the perpetra tors were strangers. The tracks which were followed away from the house were found to have ap- preached 1t from a northeasterly diree. tion and the yard had been entered in a mud puddle trough wire fence at point not more than ten feet from an open gap, thus tending to show that the murderers were not familiar with the premises. The prevailing theories. now are, supposing that the murderers were strangers, that they might have seen from the Tempe road through the glass doors on the south, Draper making Smith that final payment, or they might have been prowling about the yard at that time or they might have been passing along the alley and have seen the transaction; again the attack On the house was not necessarily preceded by certain knowledge that there was any money in it.

Story Of the Murder.

The Smith residence lies about four miles east of Phoenix not far from the insane asylum and about one hundred yards north of the Tempe road. It Is a brick structure of three rooms, the quadrangular shape of it being com pleted by frame kitchen.
 A room at the southwest corner was occupied by Smith and his wife and their child as bedroom and living room. The room on the east is occu- pied by a young man named Lory Powell, lodger. The room in the rear of the apartment is used as a kitchen. A lane leading from the Tempe road runs past the house on the west side about ten feet distant. There is porch on the south and west sides of the house and open ing upon this are two double glass doors from the sleeping room of the Smiths, one on the south and one on the west. Neither door was locked that night.
 These details are given here that there may be better understanding oi the movement of the murderers and possibly of the motive.
 Some time between 12 and 1 o'clock Mrs. Smith was awakened by someone entering the room by the door from the south. She called her husban and at the same time sprang out of bed. Al most at the same time the husband reached the floor and seized chair One of the robbers also armed himself with 8 chair, but these weapons were dropped and Smith and the robbel grappled. In the meantime Mrs Smith had taken hold of the other rob Der.
 Powell. the lodger, was awakened by the screams of Mrs. Smith and the shouts of her husband and ran into the room. Smith had succeeded in eiectine the robber; the other. it appears, hac already gone out on the porch. Smitt evidently believed that the robbers hac fled. A match was struck and whole bunch was ignited, throwing wile glare over the room. At that momen

The Murdered Man.

The victim of the house. breakers bul- let was exactly thirty-one years and eight months old yesterday. He came to Phoenix from Kentucky eight years ago and has been since then continu- ously in the employ of the canal com pany. He WAS held in the highest es- teem by his employers and his neigh bors. He had accumulated some property by industry and good manage ment. He had been married about four years and leaves little girl of more than two. His bloody death is rendered more distressing if possible by the circumstance that his wife is again near confinement. Mrs. Smith has two brothers Jesse and Henry Ware living near the city and sister, Mrs. Wilfred Hayden.
 The funeral of the murdered man will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing from the residence.

The Inquest.

Early yesterday morning Justice Kin caid empaneled coroner's jury con- sisting of R. M. Bond, W. w. McClip- tock, H. Riddle, c. D. Davis, M. J. Galpin. H. H. Pask, W. Black and s. L. Sanders. The evidence of Mrs. Smith was taken at home. The inquest was then removed to the city and in the afternoon there were examined Lory Powell, who was sleeping in the room adjoining the murder. Will Wood, who ran from the dredger camp to the house of Smith, J. c. Draper, L. H. Morrell and Dr. Futile.
 The testimony of Mrs. Smith and Powell has been practically told in the story of the murder. Draper told of his visit to the murdered man the night be- fore. He explained the circumstance of the unusual day of payment. The night before he had to come to Phoenix to cash check in order to make up the amount, which was in payment of mortgage upon some land and cattle purchased from Smith.
 L. H. Morrell testified to having met two strangers the night before while going to church but was unable to ac- curately describe them. Other persons who Lad seen these strangers were taken fo the jail and Fhe pris spners swere brought out for inspection. : In size and general appearance they answered the description of the persons seen. Dr. Futile had made a post mortem examination of the victim. He found that the ball had entered the left breast, passed through the center of the heart and ranging downward and back ward had lodged in the back of the body di- rectly above the left hip. It was 3S calibre. The inquest will be resumed this morning and will probably be con 1 cluded to6aV

 Shortly after l o'clock yesterday morning Frank w. Smith, zanjero on the Maricopa canal, was shot and in- stantly killed by an unknown man. Four suspects have been arrested. One has been discharged, but the others are held with reasonably strong proofs of guilt against them. Not resting upon what has been done, Sheriff Orme and his deputies are actively securing the surrou ndine country and leaving noth- ing undone to lead to the certain pun ishment of the guilty and the exonera- tion Of the innocent.

cence.

As soon as it grew light the work of tracking commenced. At different places in the yard tracks of the mur- derers were found and when they reached the road which had been flooded the day before the tracks were plain and continuous. Tbe men had been running rapidly. They followed the bank of the Maricopa to the railroad track a mile away. There the trace was lost, as the road bed is as hard as a stone. but it was evident the murderers had gone up the road toward Tempe.

It Might Have Been Bloodier.


 When Mrs. Smith saw the robber come through the door she could see by the moonlight an ax i'll his hand. This ax was found about half way between the house and road. It bad been brought by the murderers from a wood- pile in the rear of the house. It is sup posed that the purpose of the robbers was to surprise the family while asleep and brain them in bed.
 The Alarm.
 The neigh borhood is thickly settled. Two hundred feet away was a dredger camp in which seven men were sleep ing. As soon as Powell had lifted Smith into bed and knew that nothing more could be done for him he ran out and shouted to arouse the men in the camy. One of them had heard the shot. Another heard Powell calling his name, but thought at first it was an acquaintance passing along the road. But as he listened he detected the earnestness of the cry and hurried across to the house. There is teie- phone in the house connected with the canal company's office here. He sent in the report of the murder and as soon as possible word was brought to the Sheriff's office.

shot was fired and Smith fell. He must have died instantly.
 Immediately after the shooting Pow ell, who had just come into the room, saw the murderers running toward the Tempe road.
