MURDERERS CAPTURED
Justice 0yertakes the Murderers
of Frank Smith.
A WHITE AND COLORED MAN.
Both Are ex-COnvicts and General
Hard Characters the
Tolls at Last.

| Constable Compton, OF Tempe, did
uot realizs yesterday morning when be
arrested Howard Withrow, the negro
whom he trailed from Tempe to his den
| On the banks of the river, that he was
] on the road to unesrsh a crime which
hed been puzzling the officers OF both
Maricor8 and Ysvspai counties for
some months. The fact that on the
premises occupied By Withrow was
found several hundred dollars worth OF
goods which have been stolen during
the past few months from Tempe and
Phoenix was thought to be splendid
piece OF work, but as soon as Sheriff
Orme saw the prisoner be knew he had
one of the men who last January rode
up to the store kept by Smith & Crumb
at Minnehsha Flats and killed Mr..
Smith, after which they robbed the
store.
As soon as word of the killing was
brought to Phoenix. Sheriff Orme went
to the scene. There he took the trail
of the murderers and followed it some
distance He also learned that With
row and companion bad been seen in
the neighborhood on the day previous
to the killing.
Ever since that time be has been
steadily at work gathering evidence,
and when Withrow was arrested yester-
day, he was prepared to act.
Deputies were at once sent after Jim
Williams, whom Mr.. Orme bad kept
track of continually since be was seen
with Withrow In the Minnehahs coun-
try previous to the murder of Mr.. Smith,
end last evening he was lodged in the
county jail.
The chain of evidence in possession of
the sheriff is almost complete and suf1i-
eientiy ample to secure the conviction
of the two men on the charge Of muir
der.
One of the strongest points in svi-
dence against Williams is that one foot
has been Injured and makes a peculiar
N ark on the ground when walking. !,
The trail made by one of the muFderers
of Frank Smith is an exact counterpart
Of that made by the injured foot of
The two prisoners we're in the Yuma
together and since their
.eleese have been together almost CON-
,inuonsly, so that it safe to say that
where one is implicated in crime the
'ther is equally interested.
This sf ernoon Sheriff Orme swore out
warrant against his prisoners charging
hem with murder, and they will be
leld under that charge.
All day long people who have missed
rticles from about their premises,
within the past six months, have been
sllIng as the court house to look over
he plumber captured at she robbers ,
en yesterday, and nearly all of them !
we're successful in finding tneif lost
which is proof conclusive that
t the door of the prisoners can be laid
IL the different robberies which have =
ccurred In this city aud Tempe during
be past six months.

US. By means of irrigation We are
turning the former deesrte into orchards

been almost ruined by free trade. Why.
do you know that the much ridiculed
Arizona produced 100000 pounds of
wool in 1894? California also suffered
severely by the Wilson bill, and her

LONDON June 19-The persistency of
the rumor, which was first circulated
some weeks ego, connecting the names
of Mrs. May brick and prominent
prison official with the appearance of q
young child within she precincts OF the
prison VALE, is somewhat remarkable,
especially in view of the exploit dis
cleimer addressed by the Home Secre~
ssry to the Baroness de Rogue. 1t is
said that the story was originated by 8
discharged prison official, who thus
sought revenge upon his superior.
However, despite the fact that several
newspapers have investigated the mat
ter and confirmed the denisl of the
Home Secretary, the story is not with
out believers; although il is regarded
locally by many of Mrs May bricks

1T appears that Gov. Franklin IA
asked for the resignation of DR.. Ham
lin, es Superintendent of the Insane
Asylum. That means that Gcv. Frank
lin proposes TO remove DE-. Hsmlin from
that position. Can Gov. franklin give
the people OF Arizona sound reason
for this? Gan he give any reason for it!
DR.. Hsmiin is a scientific and skilled
man in position that requires skill and
experience. He gives evidence to any
observing citizen that he fills his posi-
sion thoroughly. Is Gov. Franklin
wsntonly removing such men from
mere political motives? Is be removing
him because some one of his personal
friends want the place end the salary,
without regert to the effect upon the
poor and miserebly unfortunate insane
whom he knows are now receiving as
good treatment as science and exper-
fenced skill can give them with the
means at hand? Can Gov. Franklin
better the condition of these wretched
insane by change in superintendent?
Is there any right, is there any desire of
the people Of Arizona that Gov. Frank
lin proposes TO respect? II there is
any enc thing the unfortunate people
Of Arizona who have friends in that
asylum, ask; il there is apy one thing |
which eveTy res peo5able citizen, every
man in Arizona aeks,is is that |
he management and treatment of our
ussne shall be conducted or the broad |
,rir Piles OF humanity that are never
ourd in narrow partisan contention.
They denand that the treatment OF the
asane Of this Territory shall be lefs
rec from the polluting hand OF politics,
rec from the hungry clutch of political
flee seekers. Dr. Hamlin was asked
0 take that place. BE did not
SEX it. He came here as profession
! gentleman, skilled in the treatment
the insane. He has proved himself
D be such. If Gov. Franklin proposes
} remove him be should have good
ause therefor and the public has
ght to know that cause. Afidsvits .
gainst Dr. Hamliu have bsen fled We
re told The effdavits OF discharged, i
lcom petent employees; efidsvits which {
ov. Franklin himself hesitates to make
u bile, doubtless, on account of their
competency to sustain him in the
easnre he has put on foot. This pol 9
ical tinkering and wanton nanipula- I
on Of the Insane Asylum is a matter &
lat stirs the humanity within every !
tizen OF the Territory; they have

icy will insist upon. Has Gov. Frank
q q single cause for his action in this
after that he is not ashamed to give
