PartiaIAccount of the Capture

The exact time and place of the cap
ture was not known yesterday at the
sherif's Office but it occurred probably
on Wednesday near the Ajo mine sixty
five miles south of Gila Bend. Deputy
Prothero, Billy Moore and Bill Kellogg,
who left Gila Bend on Monday night in
buck board with water and food and
three saddle horses, pushed southwark
all night. At day light they watered
and fed their stock and mounting their
saddle horses rode on 70 Ajo, the near
est point at which water could be OBJ
tanned.
No time was lost in looking for the
trail of the fugitives. 1t was certain
that they were headed south and it was
equally certain that they must touch at
Ajo or perish On the desert of thirst.
Ajo was therefore necessarily point on
the trail. When the officers reached
the mine they found that neither Price
and Young or their pursuers, Harris
and Indian Sam, had arrived there. So
procuring guide they began cutting
for tracks ard found them some dis
tance north of the mine. Price and
Young had evidently been nearly over
taken the second time by Harris and
Indian Sam, but the pursuers, who
seemed to have tried all along to inter
cept and surprise the fugitiVes rather
than to overtake them, had LETT the
trail and gone straight south toward the
line.
The tracks of the murderer and count
erfeiter were followed into box canyon
in which it was certain that they mad
gone into camp.
The officers guide led them around
to pass on the other side of the mount
ain and having dismounted, entered
the canyon. Creeping from cover to
cover they at length came in sight of
Price and Young's camp. The outlaws
had arranged it SO as to prevent sur
prise or attack from the entrance of the
canyon and were probably unaware OF
the pass by which their pursuers had
entered. The officers approached with
in twenty-five yards of them before they
| were discovered, and Price and Young
Immediately began firing.
A general fusilade followed in the
course of which Deputy Prothero re-
ceived ball from Winchester in his
arm. Almost at the same time there
was cry from the side of the outlaws
and the firing on both sides ceased.
Price and Young both lay helpless on
the ground. the former shot three
times through the body and the latter
with broken leg.
The wounded were cared for as well
as possible by the officers and Deputy
Prothero and Moore set out for Gila
Bend leaving the prisoners to be
brought in by kellogg and the guide.
The two officers reached Gila Bend ON
Thursday evening and Deputy Prothero
sent the telegram which was published
in THE REPUBLICAN, yesterday morn

broken arm returned with Billy
Moore to meet the prisoners. The

SENSATIONAL ARREST.
James BurSon and Norris
Hamilton
Charged With Having Assisted in
the Escape of Price and
Young From Jail.

The most sensational incident yester-
day was the arrest OF James Burson
and Norris Hamilton, two well known
citizens and contracting plasterers.
They are charged of having made the
escape OF Price and Young possible.
The arrest was made on an order of the
court, presumably based upon finding
by the federal grand jury which had
been rigidly instructed by the court to
investigate the circumstances of the
iailbreak.
1t was also hinted that the arrest was
the result of secret telegram received
from Deputy Prothero who is supposed
to have obtained from Young a knowl-
edge of their completely. At any rate,
the proof already in hand of their guilt,
is said by officials to be damaging and
that it will be still further strengthened
when the rifles and revolvers of the out.
laws are brought in this morning. The
not been given out.
Both men are now in Jail no attempt
having been made to furnish bail. Bur.
son denies any knowledge of the at
tempted break and says that the first
he heard of it was in saloon on
Christmas night, an hour after it had
been effected. Hamilton he saws
bought gun at second hand store fol
a stranger, some time before the break
but he is certain that it was not bough
with knowlede that it was for the
prisoners, if indeed. they afterwaro
came into possession of it. Burson has
retained Attorney George Percy Bul
lard to represent him. Both prisoner
will be given hearing before Commis
! sioner Crenshaw this afternoon.

The Murderer Dies.

Additional information received here
yesterday concerning the fight which
ended in the capture of Price and
Young was somewhat meager. AS pub
lished in THE REPUBLICAN yesterday
morning, the capture had been effected.
Price had been mortally wounded.
Young had received broken leg and
Deputy Prothero's arm was broken.
About noon yesterday another dispatch
wes received from Gila Bend, in VIII ich
it was stated that the wagon sent out to
meet the wounded captives had re-
turned and that Price was dead.
Ex-Sherif Murphy and Billy Wild
mer were solicitous concerning the
character of Deputy Prothero's wound
and they wired him twice inquiring
about it. In one reply he made no
mention of his own injuries and in an
other said that his arm had been
broken above the elbow. There were

A Modest Advertiser.

There is something rather alarming
to the ordinary mortal in an advertise
ment which appe ars in the London
'Athenaeum-the advertisement of
lady who is perfect paragon of intel
lectual and social virtues. Expert

cultured companion, musician, pleasant

A Damaging Connection.

Once before Buraon was almost fatally
connected with this tragedy and only
by hairs breadth escaped arrest as an
accessory before the fact for the murder
of Shurbert. A short time before the
inquest upon Prices victim Justice
Johnstone deliberated upon issuing a
warrant for Burson's arrest. The evil
dence though of the witness who was
expected to establish his completely in
the murder, tended rather to show that
he had been guilty only of making a
foolish but unmeaning expression.
This witness was Irving c. Barnes.
Burson, by the way, had been partner
of the murdered Shurbert. Barnes
swore at the inquest that on the morn
ing OF the murder and about two hours
before it occurred he was standing at
the corner of Washington street and
First avenue talking 10 Burson. Price
came up, though the witness did not
know at the time who he was, and
spoke 10 Burson of some trouble at the
O. K. saloon the night before. Said he,
II never was abused so before in my
life." That's right" replied Burson,
land if you kill him Pll swear It's a
case OF justifia ole homicide"
The witness Barnes did not know OF
what trouble they were talking or to
whom Burson referred as him" He
attached no Importance to the language
and thought it was uttered in light
and even joculaT manner. A couple of
hours later he heard the shots and at
once thought OF the conversation be-
tween Burson and the stranger, whom
he su hsequen:ly identified as Price. He
still did not think, though, that Bur
son meant anything by what he said or
that he suspected that Price intended
to commit murder.
On this showing the intention to ar
rest Burson as an accessory was aban-
doned.

day and the train is due about five
O'Clock this morning.
An inquest will be held upon the
body in the Jail. 1t will be carried
thence to the potter's field just as it
would have been carried on the after
noon of Feb. l if he had not escaped.
Proper and regular return will be made
Of the death-warrant and the record
will show that it was executed, so that
the formalities of the inquest, the re-
moval of the body from the jail and the
return of the warrant will afford g grim
satisfaction in spite of the circumstance
that the execution of the sentence was
anticipated and that the instrument
was bullet and not a dangling rope.
The moral effect upon lawless mem
bers of the community will be the same
though he died in fight instead of upon
the scatfold, for it is apparent that moth
ing could have saved the murderer from
the moose but the governors interven-
ton and that could not have been e1-
pected.
Even the attempted escape is not
without its usefulness and deterrent eff
feet. 1t emphasizes fact which many
desperate criminals have experienced
and what all who understand the situa-
tion know, the almost insuperables diff
culties in the way of the criminal who
attempts to escape beyond the bound
aries OF Arizona. 1t is true several fug-
ltives have succeeded in getting away
| within the last ten years, but with
the single exception of John See, the
vile murderer, and Donovan, the train
robber, all who have gotten away were
wanted for comparatively unimportant
| offenses.

Twas Well Deserved.

From the night that Frank Prothero
dicted with confidence the capture or
killing of the fugitives, SO that the re-
suit is not at all unexpected. So
pleased was Judge Baker with the re-
suit that he yesterday sent the follow
ing telegram to the wounded deputy:
PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 4, 1895.
Frank ProtEero Deputy Sheriff, Gila Bend
congratulate you as brave and faithful officer.

THE REPUBLICAN sent CORES spondent
down to Maricopa last night to meet
the east bound Southern Pacific train
conveying the officers, the dead murd-
erer and the wounded counterfeiter.
The following dispatch was received
early this morning:
MAR1coPA, Ariz., Jan. 81 a. m.-
The fight took place at 10 a. m. on
Wednesday. Young says the officers
fired fifty shots and Price three or four,
but he himself fired none. He and
Price were in wash. During the fight
Price acted crazy and refused to remain
behind the fortifcation. He jumped
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1895-01-05

into full view. He was wounded first
in the shoulder and then in the ab-
domen. He threw down his gun and
said afterwards that he was sorry he
threw it down.
Price did not fire until Young was
wounded. Young was shot in the left
knee and the leg must be amputated.
Price lived twenty-four hours.
Prother was wounded in the left fore
arm. Prothero was not surprised at the
capture of the two plasterers, Burson
and Hamilton. Young says he does
not know them. Young lies here in
the depot in some pain smoking cigar.
Price had six files and Young says
they were smuggled in during the trial.
He had $160 and they used $50 in the
flight. They used Prices own horses
which were kept in southwest Phoenix.
They went sixty miles the first day.
The route was through Buckeye and
across the Hassayampa to Sentinel.
There they found food for themsselve
and horses and after that the horses
went two days without water.
Young says that Harris and Indian
Sam came within 100 var DIS of them in
camp forty miles below Sentinel, but
were afraid to tackle them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-The
general debate on the currency bill
which consumed the time of the house
again today will continue until the
caucus is held. Then if the present
plans OF advocates of the bill are en-
dorsed the debate will go on under the
five minute rule until Thursday of next
week, when final vote will De taken.
The entire days debate was a speech
in opposition to the measure by
Mr.. Hendrix, a New York banker.
He declared the bill would be
inadequate as measure OF re-
lief for the treasury and besides
would provide an unsound currency.
He suggested as the only measure of re
lief the passage of bill to taad 2-aen-
backs.

the way. Death at the end of rope
would have been almost painless in

Two telegrams received by ex-Under

If the Maricopa & Phoenix train is on

hour, of the time when his live body

Convincing Proof Wanted.

COnVlnCii8 FfoOi w Wdileo'
When Judge Baker was officially in
formed of the capture OF Price and be-
fore the telegramRnnouncing his death
had been receivd be issued an order
that he be brought at once to Phoenix
alive or dead. 1t WAS hardly less i'm
portant that the dead body should be
returned than the live one. In compli-
ance with the order the body will there
fore be placed in the county Jail, an in
quest will be held upon it and it will
be buried in the same manner as it
would have been if the death sentence
had been regularly executed. This grim
formality will be we'll understood by
thinking persons. 1t is we'll known that
that there was large class of law
abiding citizens who hoped tho mur-
derer might escape. His previous good
reputation and the provocation for the
murder were permitted to obscure the
brutality of it and many believed that
his punishment was too severe. There

are always with the criminal and
against the law, who also hoped in this
case that the law might be defeated.
The wish of both these clss would
have been father to thu thought that
Price had not been captured. 1t is a
historical fact that for years after the
assassination OF Lincoln, sympathizers
of John Wilkes Booth have denied that
he was ever punished. They said that
the party in pursuit of him could not
return without a victim and that an
unknown man had been shot instead OF
the assassin, who Is believed even now
by many persons to be still alive.
Therefore, in order to convince the
doubtful that Price has really been cap
tured and killed, his dead face, which
became such a familiar object during
his trial, will be put in evidence go that
hereafter no sensational story that q
lonely pros pector ~ an unknown Mexi-
can was made to atone fore his crime
can be set adoat.
