Press kilograms from New York
OF recent date state that:
Moody Merrill, a former Boston
lawyer, was arrested here on Il charge
of grand larceny and held for exami-
nation. The arrest was made at the
request of Boston police, the charge
being larceny of $4,000, said to have
been held by him in trust, for which
ofTense he was indicted in Boston jan
uary %. 1899. He has been an exile
from Boston for ten years. He onco
had a high reputation in business, pol
itics and society in Boston.
After Merrill left Boston it became
known that he was known as Chas.
y. GraysOn. He went to Silver City,
New. Mexico, and established
himself in business there, became
president of national bank. inter-
ested himself in territorial politics,

The lessess OF the Easter Sunday are
still taking out and shipping ore to

that they are constantly making ship

they are losing money.
The Calumet and Pittsburg Is situ-

Important Cattle Case.

News Of 4 case of the greatest i'm
pOrtance to cattlemen came up from
Wilcox yesterday. 1t seems that un-
der a recent territorial statute the law
of evidence relative to the proof re-
quired to convict a cattleman OF hav-
ing cattle unlawfully upon his range
has been completely reversed so that
on such a charge the cattleman is in
the same position as a Chinaman
charged with being illegally within
the United States. He is deemed
guilty until he has established his in
nocence.
a Mr.. Van WInkle, of Dos Cabe zas,
is now on trail on a charge of this ma
ture at Wilcox and it is doubtful if
so many men interested in cattle ever
got together before in any one place.
The town is crowded with them so in
tense is the interest felt over the oper-
ations OF the new law. w. 5. Sturges
and J. J. Riggs chairman and a mem
Der of the Livestock Sanitary Board,
respectively. are both attending the
trial. Thirty-six cattle were seized
on Van Wrinkles place.
EX-Chief Justice kibbey is appear
ing for the prosecution and Judge Up
ton Of Tombstone is looking out for
the defense. Captain Rynning and
five of his Arizona rangers are at
tending the trial. Its outcome will be
awaited with considerable interest
throughout this territory

City National Bank, that the institu-

Grayson's troubles, as Mr.. Grayson
severed his connection with the bank
on the 18th OF last month. Colonel
Carter has been cushicr of the Silver
City bank almost since it was first
started. He is one of the shrewdest

some of the directors of the bank
have met with reverses, the Colonel

''It is said that he has never set his
/ foot in Boston since his departure, but
he appears to have cherished the hope
of some day doing so. Much mystery
seems to attach to his arrest.
1T is reported in Boston that Chas.
| n. Grayson, the mining engineer who
was promoting New Mexico property,
died while guest OF Merrill's in Eos
ton, and that when Merrill came west
he assumed his guests name.
In Now York Merrill was also known
as Grayson. He made his headquarters

seems to me we have been dealing with
Colonel GraysOn at least fifteen years.
Now il the story in the newspapers
about his disappearance from Boston
is correct, it would seem to bear out
the statement that he assumed not only
the name, but the business of a dead
friend.

He has haudled hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars for us, which he could
have stolen were he inclined. He is

The ERA is Informed that the charg-
es upon which the arrest was made is
nothing new in Silver City, as it has
been known for several years that he

say that they had heard rumors more /.
than five years ago that he was guilty /
of embeZzlement in Boston, but they |
