MANY CONVICTED AT COURT IN TUCSON
Attorney AstttooFfaaeeyy Alexander Very Sue ceSSfuI in Putting Criminals in Jail, Having Sent % Over the Road in Two Weeks.
tPhoenix Depaocrat.)

AA1fAAS CCLNA(lLA AAA of whom are serving sentences in tae Pima county jail or territorial prison at Yuma. United States Attorney Alexander. returned yesterday from Tucson, where he has attended the regular session or the IeueIdI o0II | for the past two weeks.
 Two indictments returned as re suit of Alexander's prosecution are those two men charged with adultry in violation of federal statutes, both cases being notorious on account of the lack of any effort on the part of the defendants to conceal them.
 In one case the offender was not satisfied vita stealing another mans wife, but in addition took his four children along with the woman, liv- ing with her and supporting the oth CT mans children in Tucson.
 In the other case the defendant de serted his own wife and, stealing 9 girl 14 years old from the home of her mother, lived with her openly. As the result of their illicit relationship child was born recently.
 Both cases have excited much com ment in Tucson, the first on account OF the extent to which the offender went in taking the children as well as the wife, and the other in the pa thetic condition of the young girl, who must care for the babe without Q father.
 The indictment of Tucson school book and supplies dealers was the big sensation of the federal grand jury in Tucson. Alexander states that the defendants have all filed de- murrers, which District Judge J. r. Campbell now aas under considera- tion.
 Alexander states that they com. bined for the purpose Of fixing high prices for school books and school supplies in violation q the Sherman antitrust law. He feels confident of a conviction in these cases.
 Maddox and Bateman, the two Southern Pacific employees indicted for breaking into box cars and steal. ing freight furnished another sensa- ton. Bateman was convicted last Saturday. The testimony against aim included that of two witnesses who said Bateman told them that If he was promised immunity he would involve several others in the robbery of freight cars, which has been ire quent between Tucson and Yuma on the Southern Pacific during the past lew months.
 Griffin, another railroader, indicted on the same offense, succeeded iu getting a dismissal of the charges against him on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction.
 Attorney A c. Baker for Griffin held that the indictment charged that the ofTense had been committed in Pima county and that the evidence of the prosecution did not show it had been committed there. The court agreed with him.
 Immediately Alexander had Griffin arrested on charge Of breaking into box cars in Maricopa or Pinal col.n. ty and his case will be brought to Phoenix for trial.
 Alexander will appeal from Justice Campbells decision on the question of Jurisdiction, believing that wherc an offense is committed on a train passing through several counties it isl proper to charge the offense in af- Of them. He claims that in many cases it would be practically impos- si0le to fix the exact locality in which the offense took place He wants the decision of the supreme court on this question.
 Alexander will return to Tucson 14 fn try more fo4e-,I cases there. He must be in Presc.,. November IS, when the Federal grand jury and court conyenes. He w,II be in Globe December 2. and in Tombstone about December 2e.
 Alexander states that the hearing of tae three revolutionists in Los h.,. gelss who are charged in Arizona with conspiracy to organize a revoIu- ton against Mexico. will take place in Los Angeles November 19. The hearing is to determine whether or not they shall be extradited from Cal ifornia to Arizona.
