CARPENTER lS
 ID BE TRIED
 FUR BURGLARY
Unauthorized Organizer of the Salvation Army Must Face Damaging Evidence Leading to Penitentiary.

] At the time Dr. w T. Thurman of this city was taken to Tombstone to
 be tried for practicing medicine
 without a license, T. N. Carpenter is
 known to have gone with him, and
 to have gone from there to Fort Hua-
 chuca. A room there was burglar , ized and a watch, some rings and other jewelTy taken.
 | There is positive evidence that on
 May 26th, two or three days follow- | ing the burglary, Carpenter sold to
 the daughter of we'll known family in Fort Huachuca a gold watch and
 chain for the sum of SS.75 and a ring ! for the same amount, making a total of S7.50. While there he talked of Dr. Thurmans and they requested that Carpenter send him to them. He sad he would do so, but asked that they say nothing of him having sold them the jewelry, as Thurman would
 laugh at him for selling it so cheap.
 The people to whom Carpenter sold the Watch, chain and ring state that ne represented to them that he had a large jswGlry store in Bisbee and would soon have q stock Of about s7OO worth of jewelry in No gales.
 It is very evident. from letters which have been/ received in this city that Carpenter made it a point to say all the i'll of the character of Thur man he could to the people of Ft. Huachuca and that he most dismally failed.
 It seems from the evidence gleaned from the letters that Thurman was selling jewelry, buying his goods from the St Louis Jewelry company on the installment plan. Carpenter and he were together at the time, and he alleges that Carpenter went into his grip and stole what jewelry he had, therein.
 Among other letters received iere in regard to the missing jewelry and the charges which Carpenter made against Thurman is one from Peter Murphy, saddler in the Fifth cavalry.
 He states very positively that Car penter told lies about Thurman, say ing that he had been drunk and that he had beat his stable bill of SIG. ! Murphy says that this is not true, and i that he has one of the rings which l was stolen from Thurman, which Car 1 penter represented to him as his, Car | pehter's own. He said there was no l truth in Carpenters statement that l Thurman had been court martialed. |
 Lee l.. Segars, also of the Fifth, | Troop D, states that the charges made | against Thurman by Carpenter were | untrue, but says nothing of the jewel 1 .yvE,- #-T- A. Flagg. a wagOner of the Fifth, | ssgs practically the same.
 Ben KrOhn, of Ft. Huachuca, states l that he traded to Carpenter a seven teen jewel Hamilton watch. gold, for | T solid gold ring, set with a turquois. | This is believed to be one of the rings ] taken from Thurman's grip.
 Geo. A. Phillips. NJ. NJ. of the Fifth | cavalry, states in a letter that he | made a personal investigation of the | charges against Thurman, and that | he found them to be in their entirety | false. He stated that in one saloon i in which Carpenter had been in and | in which he had left a gunny sack, that | .here was found some of the jewelry i which was missing from Thurman's grip.
 Carpenters wife left yesterday for Norman Okla, her home. | is in the county jail in | his city, where he was placed Tues day upon being unable to give a bond | which he was placed under to keep | he peace. 4 local attorney was in structed by the Lowell officers yes -erday evening to draw up a com Dlaint charging Carpenter with burg ary.
 It is thought that Carpenter is go- ng to make a plea of being insane, Is he is acting in a most strange and i peculiar manner in the county jail lere, where fhe is confined, and has ! Chinaman, who is with him await ng deportation, scared out of his wits. Justice Grier also noticed his ictiOns while he was being examined, i md commented on it to q representa- i've of the, Review when giving in ormation regarding the case.
