ARRANGED 10 SUIT
 ALL THREE PARTIES
Frank Robinson. Frances Logan and the District Attorney All Agree to Modus vivendi.

The romance of Frank Robinson and Frances Logan, aged IS and Is respect lively. that for a time promised to in yolVe both in serious difficulty, has been amicably settled all round. to the satisfaction of the young people. their parents and the representatives of the law. IL was supposed that the girl who came here just before the fair from her home fin Bisbee, and who got acquainted with the young man here during the fair, had been led astray by him and taken 10 his home in Jerome. Outward appearances sug gested this and that any further trans gression might be avoided both were taken into custody in Jerome where they were located and the charge of child stealing preferred against the boy
 They were brought back to Phoenix where the girls father appeared on the scene prepared to punish the boy if guilty. by the application of the law. Both insisted their innocence Of any irregulatrity save the violations Of the conventions of life. The girl liked the boy and accompanied him to his home in Jerome, but having no evil purpose in mind he took her to his mothers home where she was kept under congenial and proper influences. Their words were doubted but the proper steps were taken by all inter ssted to verify every statement and happily. though unusual in similar cases. the proof was not wanting and all have been convinced that II was
 F.,r .l,ras1 Fa Nu-h frfn should entail upon both of them no criticism more harsh than that of act ing very foollshly and very danger ously for their own well being.
 Matrimony was suggested to the youth who at first declined. feeling that he had committed no crime and was not prepared for such life ad- venture. Later he acquiesced, having tired of remaining in jail pending in- vestigations. The girls father rightly construed that a compulsory marriage would avail nothing and when the facts were all learned there was no reason for considering such step. It was therefore arranged. mutually and agreeably all around, to permit both to go their several ways, each agreeing to have no correspondence for at least two years sr until such time as they can more maturely consider the obli- gations of matrimony, if both shall still be so inclined. The law. not hay ing been violated and having suffered nothing worse than a bad scare, could do no better than to back off and bid the youngsters Godspesd. but warn them not to repeat any such foolish ness.

HIS PRIVATE GRAVEYARD.
Searched in Vain by the Police FoI
 O.he- Victims.

Oakland, Cal. Nov. 26.-The search
 for more victims of the murderous rage of M. A. Wilkins. the Elmhurst man of mystery. resulted fruitlessly. When the sheriff and a posse of oak land police left the Wilkins home last night after unearthing the partly de- composed body of Verna Wallace. who had been passing as Wilkins wife, they were of the belief that one more victim at least vas buried on the
 premises. The supposed victim was T. Earl kimmons, a striking street car
 man. who knew of Wilkins relations
 with the Wallace woman. and who. ac-
 cording to the sheriff. aroused Will
 kins' Jealousy. Kimmons has been
 missing since July 23.
 Following the theory that KimmOns' dead body was buried sbnewhere on the premises, number of attaches Of the police and sheriffs office resumed
 the search today and with pick and shovel dug up nearly every foot of space in the yard. Ten holes were dug
 in the yard, but the corpse of Kim mons was not found.
 Though baffled in their efforts. the
 authorities made discoveries that have strengthened the theory that Wilkins murdered his wife" An autopsy of the surgeons acting under the direc tion of the coroner this afternoon, made
 ar examination of the body that devel- oped the fact that the dead woman was
 gagged with a handkerchief which had been securely knotted about her head and across her month. This would have prevented any outcry had Will kins used violent means to compass her death.
 The body was too far decomposed to
 determine whether there were any marks of violence The body had lain buried in quicklime for nearly five months but the heavy carpet in which i- was wrapped prevented the lime from doing effective work.
 In addition to the gag the surgeons
 found that the corpse contained an
 unborn babe seven months old. In fact Sheriff Barnett finds possible
 motive for the murder. He is of the
 opinion that Wilkins was annoyed that
 the woman was so soon to become a
 mother and deliberately planned and executed her death and buried her in
 the quicklime grave.
 Wilkins. who is in jail. insists that
 the woman committed suicide and that
 he buried the body to avoid publicity. In one of his statements he says she . took strychnine on July 23rd and died at 10 o'clock that night. Then he set
 about to provide for her burial and
 finished his grewsome job before
 morning,
 His statements as to the date she died. however, are conflicting. Each
 story he tells the police differs in some detail. Finally he told the sher- If that he did not know what took place on that fatal night. 'I must have been crazy" he cried In agita- tion The stomach has been removed
 and sent to the city chemist for anal | ysis The examination will determine
 what poison. if any, caused the wo-
 mans death.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
 IN EASTERN ARIZONA
Return of Governor kibbey and 8. A. Fowler From Globe and Intervening Points.

Governor Kibbey and B. A. Fowler, counsel and president respectively, or the Salt River Valley Water Users Association, returned home yesterday morning from a visit of several days 10 Globe and a number of intervening points. Their mission as announced at the tune was primarily to attend the preliminaries in law suit in Globe between the association and a mar named Lee. This matter was quickly disposed of in conference with local counsel who will represent the assoc.a- ton.
 Asked yesterday concerning condi- tions in Globe they said the situation Is not as embarrassing as one is led to believe from reports coming out of that camp There has been a trim ming down of payrolls. quite a number If men having been discharged by the larger companies which are econ omizing iu every possible way and at the same time somewhat limiting their operations until conditions throughout the country improve. Nevertheless the large companies continue to oper- ate and most of the smaller develop ing enterprises are going along as usual. The financial condition Is also more encouraging than was feared. as everybody knows Globe has been the hardest hit" of any town in Ari- zonA two of her national banks hay ing succumbed temporarily to the eastern influences that have affected the entire country. The governor said however that he was quite sure one of the banks would pay its indebt- edness dollar for dollar and there is strong reason to nope that both of John H. Page is there merely at the request of the comptroller of the cur rency, as his representative tempOrar- fly, though not as territorial official, the territory having nothing to do with national banks. Though the enthusi- sstic boom" atmosphere of a few months ago has been considerably clouded the town is still good one and lots of business is being done.
 On the way home the trip was made a sort Of visiting tour. The goyer- nor improved the opportunity for mak- ing several stops for personal inspec- tion of conditions ir those sections. Mir Fowler accompanied him both for pleasure and information. They stop ped in Stafford, Thatcher and Solomon vile and found the upper Gila farm ing section quite prosperous, all things considered. Crops this year were good and command high prices. Com

WOman's Dream PreCipi.
 tates a Horrible Discovery
The Body of a Supposed Wife Found Partly De. vOured by Quicklime.

san Francisco. Nov. 26.-The oak land police yesterday unearthed a dia- bolical crime and has taken into cus- tody NJ. A. Wilkins. a stationary min ing engineer. ana charged him with the murder of his wife, whose re- mains were found buried in quicklime underneath a shed in the rear of the Wilkins home in Elmhurst, a suburb of Oakland. Neighbors had not seen the woman for several days. It was known that she was about to give birth to a child and Wilkins said that she had gone home to her parents in the east.
 A friend of the dead woman, Mrs. J. M. Anderson of San Francisco. who had been staying at the Wilkins house for the past few days, stated that Wilkins wanted her 10 run away with him. On Sunday night she had a vivid dream in which she saw the body of Mrs. Wilkins lying on the ground. her arms crossed on her breast. She was awakened from her dream by Wilkins. who was standing over her with a knife in his hand. He said she was talking wildly in her sleep. He of fered her a drink of water which she refused. and which was later found to be poisoned.
 Mrs. Anderson told her husband and he informed the police. The premises were searched and the body was found in a trench covered with a carpet. Wilkins told conflicting stories. He said his wife died in childbirth and he buried her himself to save expenses. Wilkins is fifty years of age.
 An additional search on the part of the police was made today with the expectation of finding the bodies oi two men known as "Eearl' and Kim mons in the same yard. IL is be- lieved that they were also murdered by Wilkins

DAY WAS FAVORABLE
 10 BANKER WALSH

Chicago. Nov. 26.-An attempt on the part of the prosecution to force the presentation in court of the private books of John R. Walsh, on trial for alleged misapplication of the funds or the Chicago National Bank, was frus- trated by an adverse decision by Judge Anderson today. The court held that an order requiring the books to be produced would amount to forcing the defendant to testify against himself.
 During the day the examination of F. w. Mclean. former assistant cash fer. was concluded. Questioning brought out the admission from the witness that he was in California early in 1904. at the time when he said in his direct testimony he had conver- sation with Walsh regarding the mem crandum notes.

As such it was one item of several to confirm the growing confidence that the resumption of cash payments by the banks is at hand.
