county Jail here. Such was the re-

Justice Hogan yesterday Afternoon.
the young men having been arrested
on a charge Of burglary.
The hearing occupied the better
part of the afternoon and was attend
ed throughout by large crowds of in
terested bearers, both of the yOume
men being well known, especially
Miller who has been in the district
for the past four years.
On the night following the election
the Copper Queen warehouse was
broken into and three pairs of shoes
taken A few days later Miller and
Doelz were arrested. each with a miss
ing pair of the shoes on ais feet A
search of Miller's room located the
other pair. together with several pairs
OF socks, which had also been missed
from the stock room into which entry
had been forced.
l.. G. Jackson, manager of the shoe
department of the Copper Queen store,
was the principal witness for the pros
ecution. He saw DoelZ wearing what
he thought to be a pair of the missing
shoes and taking Constable Twomey
with him, hunted him up and asking
him to let his see the shoes identified
them asa pair of the missing lot.
Doelz was Immediately taken into Gus
tody. t
Miller was arrested soon after
wards and stated that some Mexicans
had given him the shoes. He was
very anxious to go to his room. ton
the purpose. as he alleged. of getting
the other pair and returning them to
the Copper Queen store. This he was
not allowed to do and search was
made Of his room which revealed a
piece of a crow bar about two feet
long sharpened into a chiseE, a file,
and stick with a piece of rubber on
one end and an iron band on the
other. Miller stated that he bad
seen the end of tae stick in his room.
but did not know how the other i'm
plements came to be there.
There was probably nothing in the
warehouse that could have been more
thoroughly identified than the shoes
which were found missing. In the
first place the Copper Queen is the
only store in Bisbee which handles
the Hanan shoe, the kind missing.
In the second place the shoes taken
had Just been made to order from a
srecial last designed by Jackson and
nothing like it is to be found within
a hundred miles of Bisbee. In the
third place, when the shipment was
received the goods were set aside
with orders not to place them on the
market until fall. as they were top
shoes and only low quarters were be-
ing sold. So that up to this time not
a single shoe of this particular ship
meut bias been sold. In the fourth
place the shoes were arranged in
tiers. beginning at the low numbers
and coming on up in order, so that
it was an easy matter TO know exact
" what size, which was No. Z, was
missing.
Entrance was effected TO the stock
room by cutting through a heavy
screen and prying off a staple after
which the hasp was lifted off. The
paddock. with the lock still thrown.
was found on a shelf nearby. Matches
were sTewn over the floor.
The socks which were missing were
identified by clerks from the gents
furnishing department, the brand
per Queen property, and the record
showing no sales of the kind found
in Miller's room
Doelz. whose hearing was had first
was allowed the privilege of question
ing the witnesses, but did not do so.
Having no attorney, he was allowed
to make a statement in his own be-
half. He had, according to the test
mony of Jackson, stated that be had
bought the shoes from the CoDper'
Queen store. Later it was stated by
one OK the witnesses that Miller bad
claimed that they had secured the
shoes from some Mexicans whom they
had seen coming out of the ware
house about O'Clock in the morning.
When DoelZ made his statement. he
lad nothing to say except that he had
lied to Jackson and that the story
tod by Miller was correct.
The same testimony was gone over
in regard TO Miller. Two witnesses
were called in by the defendants who
asked them if they were not in the
habit Of going TO the room of a young
man named Rushing and drinking.
The witnesses testified that they had
seen them take as many as two or
three drinks from a bottle kept in the
room.
Miller asked if he was allowed to
make a statement, and upon being
answered in the affirmative, took une
stand and told his story as follows.
That about 1890 on the night of the
25ta they had gone to the room Of
Rushing and finding no one at home
bad taken a number OF drinks until
they began TO feel pretty lively; that
they had then gone to the EdelweiSs
cafe, where they had eaten a lunch.
That about 3 O'Clock in tde morning
as he and DoelZ were passing along
the walk by the c. @. general onIces
he heard a noise in the direction
OF the warehouse, but said nothing to
his companion. Directly after, he
said, he saw two Mexicans coming
out VITA a gInny sack Doeiz, he
said. called out to them. whereupon
ORC of them stopped They took the
sack from hin, and after debating
what to do with it decided to keep
It. he claimed, because they feared
they would be accused OF having
taken it themselves, should they re
turn the goods He admitted that
they were guilty of receiving stolen
property, but denied that they had
entered the building and taken the
goods.
