Heron, who was charged with steal ing a coat from Sheriff Frank Murphy | of Pima county, was tried and con victed in Justice Burnett's court yes terday. Herron's witnesses were like himself hobos. but unlike him, they could not be found if. in fact, they had any existence at all. Heron said he expected to prove by them that he had bought the coat for fifty cents. He did not impress the court as being a criminal. The possibility of his story being true was taken into consdera- | ton, so that he was let off with a
 thirty day sentence. Heron applauded the justice of the judgment and said that he had expected nothing less than six months.
