Reason for Exclusion
 of Noftz Confession
ATTORNEY JOHN M'GOWAN, WHO
 CONDUCTED THE DEFENSE,
Explains Upon What Ground Judge Doan Ruled Out the Precious Docu- ment, So "shrewdiy" Obtained by "chief of Detectives" Asche.

Attorney John McGowan, who con ducted the defense of Bert Noftz. re- turned from Tombstone yesterday. A representative of the Review asked Mir McGowan today on what ground the court refused to admit as evidence the written statement made by Nofl7 to Harry Jennings in the Cananea jail The attorney answered.:
 ''It was because the statement was improperly obtained. To render such a statement admissible against the party, it must not have been in duced by any hope or fear whatever. This is he general rule of law on the point Here are two cases showing how courts apply this rule: A man was arrested and charged with steal ing some gold ore from a mine, and at once brought into the sheriff's of fee, where the superintendent of the mine @sxeated" him in the presence of the sheriff. The prisoner actu. ally confesed that he had stolen the ord He was indictedt for grand larcency, and at the trial the super intendent testified as follows, in ref erence 10 the confession:
 Q. Did you say to him that h would be better for him to make a full confession?
 A "I don't know but that some thing of that kind may have been said?
 Q. Do you know by whom?
 A T do not know
 o. But by some one Of you?
 A. Tt may have been said.
 Q. Is it not your impression that some such remark was made to him:
 A. It is possible.
 The trial court then permitted the witness, against defendants objection 10 detail the confession. Defendant was convicted. He appealed, and the Supreme Court reversed the judg ment on the ground that the comics sion should have been excluded be cause obtained by hope of leniency or favor.
 Tn another case, defendant had re ceived TWO glasses of gin, and thi: rendered the confession inadmissible
 "A confession, in the legal sense, is statement made by an acused per son to he effect that he had commit ted the crime with which he is charg ed. It will be noticed by everyone who has read Noftz's written state ment that it is not confession, fol it says that he is innocent of the killing of Milless.
 Tn Noftz's case he was in the Can anea jail. when Harry Jennings whom he znew as policeman at Bis bee, and who had assisted George Chidester to arrest Noftz. came into the jail with Charley Asche. The latter told Noftz, in the presence ol Jennings, that James had confessed that he and Noftz had murdered l. O. Milless; that the officers of Co chise county had now sufficient evi dence Q convict both, and advised Noftz to turn states evidence to save himself from the galIows. Noft; wrote some of the statement at1ribut ed to him. It didn't suit Jennings and he iictated few more words Jennings then gave Noftz two dol lars This is the biography of th confession according to these two Compare this testimony with thu foregoing questions and answers, an, it is too evident for argument that was unlawfully obtained. The strang' thing about it all is that any lswyel would seriously offer it as evidence
