 White Tanks and Back.

George MOudy, the slayer of w. B. Casey, after whom wild chase has been led over the desert since last Sun day at noon, succeeded in eluding his pursuers, made his way to the city yes terday morning accompanied hy his employer, James Marian, and surren- dercd himself. He was not locked up ard at noon was permitted to go out alone after lunch. At o'clock in the afternoon he was given a prelim- mary hearing before Justice John stone. It was a brief and perfunctory affair." The essential parts of the tes- timony offered at the inquest last Monday were brought out. It was shown that Moudy had not only acted in self defense, but that he had ac- trally "been driven to the wall'' and that even then with revolver in hand he had warned Casey three times of his peril There were clearly only two things for him to do. One was to shoot Casey, and the other was to take a licking. When Casey administered lickings (and he was on old practi- ticner) they usually came in allo- pathic doses. Mcudy did not have long to decide what to do, but he die what any we'll constituted man armed with a gun and a proper regard for himself would have done. Upon tn showing Moudy was discharged al. then an enthusiastic, but rather u- seemly demonstration occurred. Tn cheers of the crowd nearly raised tlt roof. 1t was cheer for a man a solved and without perhaps beinl meant to be, cheer for the death O. another man.

 and needless flight He said that af ter the killing he imagined that of the three witnesses two were friends O. Casey. lie feared they might not put the episode in it's proper light and h. suddenly determiIe ed to go into ob scurity for awhile and watch the drift of public sentiment. He got Win chester and drove toward the Agua fria. He crossed it and having aban- horseback toward the White Tanh mountains On Monday his horss gave out and he turned it loose. The same day from place of concealmeat ne saw Officers Slankard and McCiin tCck hunting for him. That night he set out on foot toward the raiiroap and on reaching it encountered a sec ton boss who eyed him suspiciously lie told him he had been prospecting and his burros got away from him. The section boss had never seen a man wearing Sunday clothes on a prospecting trip and evidently did not believe him. But Moudy went back to Beardsley with h1m and stayed all night. He saw Sheriff Orme go through returning from the north There was some talk at Beardslev about the killing, but not enough tn point to the direction Of public opin- icn. Moudy decided to go to Wicken- burg and look at the lay of the land from that point of view He learned from Phoenix papers that there was no feeling against him and that the law wanted to get hold of him only for the pleasure of turning him loose In the meantime he had been recognized by persons who told him that an off cer, William Doheney, was there look ing for him Moudy was not afraid of arrest now, but he wanted to give him self up. He kept a watch on MT. Do heney'S movements and when the of ficer left for the south on Tuesday af- ternoon On freight train, Moudy fo- lowed him that night on the passen- ger. He left the train at Glendale and walked to Marlar's ranch.
 The pursuit of him is possibly going on yet. Deputies George and Daven- port left the city on Monday night for the White Tank mountains, intendins g to go toward the Buckeye country There is no way of reaching them by telegraph or telephone.
