He offered no resistance ,pi aamittcd his identity.
 Harrl. says there were eight or ten bobo. n the bunch and he first saw ,,em a the yards at Yuma and told them ,o keep off the train. At Adonde .,,,ion he again encountered the gang. and there they proceeded to climb into ,bo, ear while he was cndcavoring to r,ey,nt them. There were more in ,,e pane than he could handle, and ,hey practically climbed over him in getting into the car. They told him they were going to ride ard that he could not put them oh.
 Harris says he then went to the ca. soosc. got revolver, and returned to he ear. walking over the other cars, ,s ,he train was then in motion again. Standing on the car with his lantern in one hand and the revolver in an. other. he fired a shot just as the train reached Dome station, where 1t stop. ped. Then lying fiat on the car he leaned over and looked into the door. The men were still in the ear and laughed at him, one of them remark. ine: "That (rcfering to the shot) sounds like a hzzle to us."
 He says he again ordered them out o, the ear and told them if he fired again it would not be a hzzle. They climbed out of the car, which was then sn siding, and crossing the main line stopped beside the track. One of the men. Harris says, then turned and .ho, at him. He immediately dropped bis lantern and jumped from the top of the ear to the ground on the opposite side from where the men were.
 He crouched behind one of the tsucks and fired at the men across the tracks. From where he was he could sec them, bu, he was himself protected by the shadow of the car. Three shots were fired at him, and he shot eight times in return, that being all the cartridges be had. He knew he had hit one of the men, but did not know how seri. ously he had injured him. He says the man he killed was the man who .shot at him.
 He says 1t was because he was alone at the time of the shooting that . he thought to escape arrest by night. He left Dome station with the others, but said nothing of the shooting. At one of the stations further east he learned Q message had been received telling of the shooting and stating that the man who was shot had been killed
 He then feared if he was arrested all the men in the gang would swear against him, while he had none to call in his defense, and he determined to escape by flight if possible. Nc threw away the revolver from the caboose while the train was In motion, and when the eastbonnd passenger trair passed the freight, he boarded 1t and rode to Tucson. The officers hunting for him thought when he left the trair he had travelled the other way, and h' was not molested on the passenger train. He rode into Tucson, went t' breakfast, and returning later to tho depot was standing in the crowd or the platform while the officers wer' searching an incoming train for him.
 Harris is . young fellow about twen ty'six or twenty.scven years old and native of Tennessee. Last Novembe' he came to Nogales, and for couple Of months was on the burro train be tween there and Benson. Later n was on the run from Tucson to Yuma and in March and the first part of thu month again ran in and out of Nogale' A few days before the shooting he wa once more transferred to the Tucson Yuma run
