The Supposed Murderer Can Prove a
 Complete Alibi.
 l Deputy sheriff Boyd returned this
 morning from San Bernardino, accom-
 panied by E. Sues, the man who is
 charged with the murder of P. F. | Lynch. The two made the trip more
 as friends than as an officer with a prisoner Sues was very anxious to return and waived the formalityof ex- 1 tradition.
 He was taken at once before Justice
 Johnstone and his examination set | for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
 There is no doubt but that Sues is q l victim of circumstances and his every | action can be accounted for. 1 To a HERALD representative this | morning he gave the story of his meet | ing with Lynch.
 Il met Lynch on the train at Mari cOpa about month ago." he said. We were both coming to Phoenix. and when we arrived here we went to the Capital Hotel. We stopped there about one week and neither one of us having much funds we concluded to get cheaper lodgings. l moved my eff fleets to the College Place lodgings and Lynch concluded to go with me. We had separate rooms but Lynch not liking the room he was in concluded 10 change and took q room adjoining mine.
 Il met q man named Fredericks here and we were about concluding a bus mess deal when he told me that he had to go to California. In the meantime met Frank Black and we were around together a considerable DOT tion of the time.
 -On Saturday night, the 12th. met Lynch in his room and told him that as l was going to leave in the morn ing I would bid him good by. I then went to my bed. but got up and dres- sed about midnight as I could not | sleep. I went to the Palace saloon l and met Frank Black and remained | there until morning with him. About | o'clock the next morning. (Sunday,) | I mounted my wheel and rode to- | wards Maricopa. On the way there | the train passed me about a mile south | of Tempe, and both of the enginemen | saw me I arrived at Maricopa about | one o'clock and while waiting there for the train had several conversations with the station agent and other par ties. I arrived at San Bernardino Monday night and went at once to my home at 567 Third street where my wife conducts an upholstery eStab- lishment.
 As soon as I heard that I was un- uef SuSDlClOn or DufueflOS LN0C0 1 wanted to return to Phoenix to clear myself"
 Sues accounted for the letter to Black in which he stated that he rode his wheel to Gila Bend. Before leav- ing here Black had bantered him a bout not being able toreach Maricopa at q certain time and he made q bluff when he said that he rode clear to Gila Bend. He took the train at Mar lcopa-
 The story told by Sues was corrob- orated by the station agent at MaricO- pa.
 The only testimony under which he was arrested was that told by Wl- liam BlankenShip. when he stated that he saw Sues here on Monday morning. He subsequently retracted that state ment and said that he had made a mis- -ake-
 Sues said that he is an Austrian. having been born at Vienna. He has ived all his life in America and mar jed his present wife about eleven rears ago. He is an Odd Fellow and belongs to other lodges.
 His alibi is strong one and he win ,e immediately acquitted of the crime if which he is charged
