THE 6R0Cf HEARING

Case Taken Under Advisement-
Grounds of Application an Insane
Jealousy.

The hearing in the matter of the ap-
plication Of H. ]. Groce for a cOmmu-
tatiOn OF sentence from death to life
Imprisonment, was held in the office
of Governor Kibbey yesterday. The
applicant was represented by his at
toTney, A. Worsley of Tucson, and the
territory was represented by Benton
Dick, district attorne- of Pima coun-
~. Groce was convicted of murder,
willing his wife at the depot in Tue
son many months ago, and was SEN
fenced to be hanged in Tucson on
July II. His application for cOmmu-
tation IS based chiefly on plea of in
sanity or a Jealous rage that amount
ed to insanity, his mind being preyed
upon by the thought of his wife's in
fidelity. Il was much the same line
of argument employed in the defense
of Croce IN court and much time was
spent in reading the record of the
case. The matter was taken under
advisement b. the governor.

THE IMPORTATION
OF AN INDECENT
He Lost No Time in Seeking to Be-
come a Public Charge.

An apparent violation of an agree
ment entered into between the boards
of supervisors of the territory came to
light yesterday when a young man ar
rived on the train from the south,
went directly TO the office of the board
of supervisors and proclaimed himself
an INDECENT. He wanted to be sent to
the county hospital without delay.
He said in answer to questions by
Clerk Thomas of the board that he
had come directly from Yuma, that
his fare had been furnished him by
the board of supervisors of that coun-
". He admitted that he had no claim
upon the county; that he had never
been here before and that he had rela-
tives or friends here to whom he could
look for help.
The clerk told him that there was
only one thing that the country could
do for him and that would be to ar
range for his return to Yuma county
where as an INDECENT he clearly be-
longed. He could not in any event be
admitted to the county hospital.
The young man is a sufferer from
tuberculosis, but ne is not so far along
that he cannot perform light work and
when he found the doors of the hospi-
tai barred against him he began in
quiring where he could get job. He
said that if he were not successful he
would again call on the board and ar
range for his return to Yuma county.
1t is the opinion of the members of
the board that it was not the inten-
tion of the Yuma supervisors to vio-
late the agreement; that they sent the
young man, not expecting that he
would become a county charge, but
probably on his representation that he
would find aid from friends here or
that he would obtain work.
