TICKET THIEVES AT HOME.
Callahan and Waterman He'd to the
 May Grand Jury.

May Grand Jury.
 The ticket thieves are home again. c. c. Crowley of San Francisco, head Of the Southern Pacific detective ser vice, came in yesterday morning with J. F. Callahan and Joe D. Waterman, the two unfaithful Maricopa & Phoe- nix employees who broke into the office at the depot on the night of January 21 and stole lot of Southern Pacific tickets amounting to S4,000. The story of their capture was related in a late special telegram to The Republican from Springfield, O., and the local story of the crime has already been published. Both men were downcast, for neither had had a criminal experi- ence. Callahan, who is supposed to have been the leader in the enterprise, shed tears, and Waterman looked seri- ous. for he was thinking of his wife and children. Callahan was fairly, hut not gorgeously dressed. Water man was plainly clad and his shoes were broken, from which it appears that they had not employed the pre- ceeds of their sale of tickets in self adornment. They claim to have realized only about s200 from the en- terprise. The rest of the tickets were destroyed when they began to fear de- lection and location.
 They were at first supposed to be in Ohio, for it was from Gin cinnati that the Ticket Brok- CTS association had warned the Southern Pacific that a stolen ticket had been sold. When Detective Crowley got there the men were gone, but they were quickly located in Chi cago. Then the detective sent back to Arizona for an Illinois requisition- When he got to Chicago he found both of them engaged in an honest livelihood. They were working in the yards of the Armour company, where at one time Waterman had been en- ployed as yardmaster before he set out on his calamitous trip to Arizona
 The detective took them back to Gin cinnati for identification, movement which solves mystery, for on the night following the telegram to the M. & F. officials of the arrest in Chicago, The Republican re- ceiVed a special saying they were at Cincinnati.
 The men were arraigned before Jus tice Johnstone yesterday morning They said they would waive examina- tion and it was decided to put each of them under s1,5OO for each, the crimes of burglary and forgery, making the bonds in each case s3,000.
 An examination was, however, held in the afternoon. At the beginning Assistant District Attorney Bullard said he would dismiss the charge of burglary and examine the men only on the accusation of forgery, which consisted of signing the name of M. o. Bicknell, general freight and passen- ger agent of the M & P. and acting agent of the Southern Pacific, to the tickets, one of which offered in evi- dence bore the signature. It had ap~ parently been sold to a man named Joe I-ange, from Phoenix to Buffa o. N. Y. The sale had been made at Gin cinnati. In addition to the Southern Pacific stamp on the back it bore the M. & P. stamp of the date of January 21, showing that after the burglary Callahan and Waterman had taken time to stamp this and probably all the tickets with the office stamp of the day before
 MT. BickneE testified that it was not his signature and that he had au- thorized nobody to sign his nams. Detective. Crowley testified that both prisoners had voluntarily admitted that they had signed it. The defend- ants had no cross questions to ask and they were bound over and the bond fixed at $500 in each care. The committing magistrate left the room, after which there was a con- sultation between the detective and the assistant district attorney Jus tice Johnstone was called back and MT. Bullard withdrew his motion to disr ss the burglary charge.
 MT. Bicknell testified as to the fact of the burglary and Detective Crowley testified that the prisoners had volun- tarily confessed to him that they had committed it. They shook their heads when asked if they had any thing to say or any questions t. ask. They were then bound over on this charge with the bond at s1.500 against each. The grand jury will meet in May. Detective Crowley left for San Francisco list night after a very successful and satisfactory east ern trip.
