James McKenney, who is supposed
to have been the author of this hor-

killer, having murdered two men in
California prior to coming to this

arrived there he was accom- panied by a

about six weeks ago. He Is described

knows no law but that OF force.
The two men who we're so foully
murdered were we'll known in part of
Arizona and were considered law abid
ing citizens. Charles Blakey was a
