FERRIES HELD ID
 THE GRAND JURY
Mexican Desperate Trapped in ExamiaatiOR--. lie May
 Get Death Sentence

Antonio Ferres, the burglar who was arrested by Merchants Policeman Thomas Wednesday morning while trying to force an entrance to the Henkle iewelry store was arra;gned before Justice Mcdonald yesterday ev- ening on a charge of burglary. He pleaded not guilty. The evidence was so strong against him that the court bound him over to await the ac- ton of the grand jury in the sum of S5oo bail, in default Of which he was committed to jail.
 Offered in evidence against Ferres were the things found on him when arrested. He had a sack. Colts re- volver. candle and several other arti- cles. When asked why he carried the sack he stated he had it to carry his lunch in. He said ho only carried the revolver for protection to him self. as he was stranger here. and explained that the candle was for the purpose of lighting his house. When asked where his house was, he stated it was on Chihuahua Hill. He previ, ously had stated he was going to the home of friend whom he claimed liy, ed up Tombstone canyon. Later he stated that he had just arrived in town. and was looking for work.
 That Officer Thomas made a big catch when he arrested Ferres there is no longer any doubt All during the trial Ferres was on the alert. and 1t WAS only through the skill of the judge and attorneys that he was trap ped by cross-questioning. He stated to the court that he was doing nothing when arrested. Officer Thomas tes- tifled that he saw Ferres at the rear door of the Henkle jewelry store, and thought there was something wrong. As he approached, Ferres stopped to the ground. turning his back to the door. evidently in an attempt to hide his bit and brace.
 Justice Mcdonald stated that Ferres was brought before him about two years ago. At the time he had eight watches on his person. He was giv- en fifty days in jail. He was reieas- ed before bis time had expired in or take him back to Sonora, where he was wanted for stabbing judge.
 Ferres two years ago threatened to kill Officer Doyle. One night Doyle, in company with two rangers. was searching Chihuahua Hill for Mexi- can who was wanted for burglary. Doyle was going up the hill towards the house where. the Mexican was SUD- posed to be concealed. the rangers. coming in, from the other way. When. the rangers arrived at the house they, discovered Ferres crouched in the darkness with cooked gun watching for Doyle to come around the corner
 Ferres is believed now to be one of the robbers who held up two men on the Naco road last Saturday night.
 When turned over to the Mexican authorities two years ago he was talk en across the liRe to be shot. A tel erhone message to Officer Doyle al few days later from a friend stated that he had seen the Mexican officers shoot Ferres.
 Whether Ferres will be turned over to the Mexican government or prose cuted by the Cochise courts for bur slary is not definitely decided. This will probably be determined after the grand jury has investigated the pres ent charge. In tie meantime word will be sent to Mexico asking for in- formatiors concerning Ferres. His surrender to Mexico would undoubt- edly be equivalent to a death sent ence. How the man escaped execu- Jion two years ago is not understood. except on the theory that. when the volley was fired at him by Kosterlitz- ky's men he escaped with g wound and thereafter feigned death successfully.
