THE BIsBEE MORNING.

commissario Engaged Team Sunday Continuing Investigation of the dis appearance of Sarabia from the city jail Sunday night. the Internationas- American today ascertained that the Commissario Of police of Agra Prieta, on the day of the outrage engaged for that night a team of horses and a do'Ible-seated buggy together with tnree saddle horses, frurr: snwden's stables. It was understood that the ! outfit was to be taken either to Naco. or Csnanea: The buggy and horses were driven across the line, and, it is presumed. used in the final disposi- tion of Sarabia.
 Eight Hurdles Awaited Party It has also been ascertained that eight ruTales were in the vicinity of Agua Prieta Sunday night 1t Is de- clared these rurales were stationed un- der the bridge just south of Agua Pri- eta and there awaited the coming of the automobile party that contained Sarabia and his kidnapers. It is the presumption that the party left imme- diately for either Cananea or Naco, the former more likely.
 Mayor Adamson investiqates.
 Mayor Adamson. feeling that in the kidnapping of Sarabia an outrage had been perpetrated and realizing that adverse criticism of his administra- ton might follow as a result this morning made an investigation of the case. When it was concluded Mayor Adamson announced that he held City Marshal Stambaugh and every other officer connected with the city admin istration blameless. The mayor made the following statement to the Inter- national-American:
 -Inasmuch as the kidnaping of Sa- rabia took place from the city jail and as some criticism of an adverse na- ture has been heard I this morning in- vestigated the matter
 T wish to explain, in the first place. that in the past several different of icers have been granted the courtesy of the use of the city jail The jail has been open to the use of the rang CTS, the deputy sheriffs. the consta- bie, the United States authorities and the city police. This has been per mitted all the time and regarded as oficial courtesy, for the city jail is 6 better and safer structure than the county holdoyer. It was under such circumstances that Ranger Hayhurst was granted the use of the jail Sun day. l wish to say just here, though, that this will never be permitted again. We will not put ourselves in position to have our courtesies vio- lated in any such manner as was done in this case. So much for that
 sarabia Desperate Criminal"
 From what I learned, Ranger Sam Hayhurst arrested Sarabia Sunday morning and incarcerated him In the city jail, as the papers have an nounced. The city marshal knew, no thing about the case and neither did anyone else connected with the city. Lee Thompson, who acts as day jail CT, was told by Consul Antonio Maza that Sarabia was very desperate criminal and that two guards should be placed over him at all times. Thompson told him there was no need of so many guards Thompson put on as one of the guards a man of the name of Dowdle, who had worked as an extra policeman in place of Gentry during the period the latter was away from Douglas. The keys of the jail were turned over to Dowdle. It was clearly made known to Dowdle that
 
 spOnsible for payment for his services. |
 Sunday afternoon Lee Thompson was encountered between the hours of five and six o'clock by Ranger Sam Hayhurst and told that he had to leave town and that Constable Shrop- shire would after dark call at the jail for the Mexican prisoner and remove him to the county holdover; that when he called, to turn the prisoner over to him.
 "None of Your susiness"-DowdIe.
 "One of the men I summoned to make a statement in the case is Dow dle, the man on guard and the man who had the keys to the jail
 He answered my summons and in answer to question admitted that he was guarding the jail the night the incident occurred. I asked him to whom he delivered the prisoner and he answered he did not know. He thereupon told me he did not regard the matter as any of my business and left my presence, thereby refusing to be investigated.
 After hearing these facts and con sidering that the city was in no wise interested in the case, but had simply become connected with it through the custom of official courtesy which has in the past prevailed, arrived at the conclusion that Marshal Stambaugh and the other city authorities are blameless. That is my case l leave 1t to the public to judge if I am not right in exonerating the city officials and also leave it to the public as to who are the culpable ones. I concur in the prevailing sentiment that it was an outrage. I have issued in- structions that the city jail shall nev- CT more be used for any purpose than for city business"
 Frank EIvey Denies Knowledge.
 Yesterday the general runlors float ing around the city connected the name of Frank Elyey, the owner of the automobile garage on G avenue, with the Kidnapping. It was stated by parties who saw the automobile that it looked like an Elvey machine and 1t was also rumored that MT. Elvey had it in charge It was not possible to see MT. Elvey yesterday, though several attempts were made. Today he was called over the phone and in reply to an inquiry as to what know Moret, being taken from the jail to Mexico, declared that he knew nothing about it. He said that if it was one of his machines it was in charge of one of his chaffeurs, but that they all claimed they knew nothing about the affair.
 Signal Was Three Whistles.
