Campbell Must Serve That Length of Time for Murder
 of Mclaughlin.
cOMESFORD IS NOT
 GUILTY OF INSANITY.
Attorneys Get Him Tried Before Jury of Twelve Men in Tombstone, Who Declare He Is Sane in Fifteen Minutes.

If the sentence of Judge Doan at Tombstone is not reversed, ]. C. Campbell will spend seven years, less the amount he might get for good be- hayior, at the penitentiary at Yuma for the killing in Bisbee of James Me LaughIin last April
 Sentence was passed on the prisoner in the district court at Tombstone yesterday by Judge Doan, during the course of which he stated that he had taken into consideration the recon naendation of mercy by the jury, the ysilth of the defendant and his pre- vious good character.
 Attorneys for Campbell did not push their motion for a new trial, though they had made one when the verdict of the jury was announced charging Campbell with manslaughter
 Since the murder trial, one of the principal witnesses for the defense. c. E Buster, has been bound over to await the action of the grand jury for
 perjury. and another, Frank JeRes, has lef- the city. and his where abouts ore unknown.
 Whether the defense will take an appeal fo She supreme court was not indicated yesterday. One of his attorneys made brief talk in his be- half. urging clemency in behalf of his client in his attempt to make it ap- pear the prisoner was deserving of a light sentence.
 If no stays are granted Campbell will probably be taken to Yuma to begin serving his timeSwithin the next few days. IL is stated that he takes his sentence with much feeling. but says that if he must go to the penI- tentiary he will make his conduct such as to gain for him as many cred it's as possible, thus cutting of part of the seven years.
 Second in importance to the sen Ience of Campbell in the district court yesterday was the trial of A. B. Com esford on a charge of insanity before a jury of twelve men, who, after hear ing the evidence, were out only if teen minutes in arriving at a verdict of not guilty.
 Comesford's attorneys preferred the charge against him, attempting to show that the prisoner was insane be- cause of his twice having attempted suicide, once in the branch county jail at Bisbee and again while he was in the county jail at Tombstone. Both times he was cut down in time to save his life
 Attaches of the county jail state that Comesford has been shamming insanity for several days, but that he deceived no one who had a chance to observe him at all times of the day and night. While the jail guards were in his presence Comesford made many breaks such as an insane man would, but while watched without knowing it his actions were sane enough.
 During his hearing before the jury. ComeSfoTd heard several of his fellow prisoners testify that he always ap- peared in his right mind, and with them was the same as any other pris- oner.
 Comesford's hearing for complfcity in the robbery of Winters saloon in Tom bstCne canyon is to begin this morning in Tombstone At that time it is expected that his attorneys will make q motion for q new trial On the insanity charge. ....-..-..--..
 The na9rinr of Coleman for the murder of Smith in Bisbee is to be taken up immediately after the com pletiOn of the Comesford case. There are now a number of Bisbee witnesses in. Tombstone for these two cases.
