Arizona republican., 1906-12-01

Telegrams have been sent in every di- rection ordering his arrest but at q late hour last night no replies had been received. There was a rumor in the early evening that he had been caught at Los Angeles. but il turned out to be nothing more than a rumor.
 The flight of Redwine confirms sus- picion held by most people who knew anything about it, that he was the man who stole a valise containing $l115 be- longing to w. T. Williams of Gila Bend from a wardrobe in the office of the sheriff on the afternoon of November r. Suspicion pointed to him at the time, as the only man who could have done it. There were other circumstan- ces indicating that he was the man who did 1t. but there was not sufficient clue connecting him with the crime.
 Ii is now assumed that the fear of arrest for that theft was the motive which impelled him to flight for he would hardly have become an outlaw to escape the thirty day sentence which had been imposed upon him for extor- tion. He left behind a balance of $225 in the Home Savings Bank and Trust
 
 the present quarter. Besides, he pro- fessed on the evening before his es- cape to believe that he would not have to serve that sentence.
 There are conflicting stories of the manner of his going. He had not been locked up. though Assistant District Attorney Buliard. forseeing his pOssi- ble panic over the Williams robbery. had strenuously insisted on it. The district attorneys office had come into possession of evidence which pointed clearly to his guilt of that theft. but the most damaging information which had been gathered was of such char acter that it could not be used. con- sisting of admissions by his wife. that she had seen the money. and that he had asked her to help him conceal it. It was believed that a severe sweat ing" would bring out the truth

Mrs. Redwine called to see her husband. and they went out side Redwine soon returned and said he would go to bed. The deputy also retired and went to sleep. He awoke about 10 o'clock and noticed that Red wines cot was empty. Thinking he had gone into another room he fell asleep again and was awakened about o'clock by Constable Harry Troops bringing in prisoner. Then he mo- ticed that the cot was still empty. It did not then occur to him that Redwine would become a fugitive from justice. so that the escape was not reported un- til morning. when it was evident that the prisoner was not coming back of his own accord.
 In the meantime Assistant District Attorney Bullard went to the office of the district clerk t0 request that he be informed of the arrival Of Judge Kent in order that he might make motion for an order that Redwine be put be- hind the bars. As soon as Mir. Bull lard learned of his escape he swore out a warrant for his arrest and caused tel egrams to be sent in every direction He sent messages himself to Fl Paso and points along the border.
 It was soon reported that the prison CT had been taken to Tempe where he took the train for Maricopa. It was also learned that the rig in which he went contained two men and two wo- men. and that the team consisted of a gray horse and a brown with white forehead and white forelegs. It was also learned that Redwine bought a
