MRS. HAWKINS
 SOUGHT DEATH
 FOR HER BABE
THRILLING sIDELIGHT ON TKE HANGING OF D. w. HAWKINS
 IN DESPERATION WIFE TRIIs TO THROW CHILD FROM TRAIN.

TUCSON, October l.--Word comes from Chicago of the tragic attempt of Mrs. E. W. Hawkins, wife of the man who was hanged here in August for the killing of Carl Leonhardt, to throw her baby from car window while en route to Chicago. The story is 8 belated one, but throws an interesting sidelight on one of Tucson's most thrilling trage- dies. The wife of the murderer, un. hinged by the thought that the father of her infant was to meet terrible fate on the seaffold, is said to have made a desperate attempt to cast the child to death through a ear window. She was only prevented through the quick action of a Pullman conductor, who seized her and prevented the des. perate deed Then the poor woman broke down and wept over the tiny child, whom a moment before she had consigned to death. Her feeling in an instant was completely changed and to day the poor woman is caring tender ly for the infant whose father met such n terrible fate in this city.

 English arose early Saturday morn ing and noticing the cats on the roof of the tent tried to enter von Sacken s tent and found it locked. He stayed in camp that day and in the evening found the von Sacken cabin still locked.
 He slept in the neighboring tent Sat urday night and in the morning find. ing the cabin still locked, walked to Prescott. notifying the sheriff g office here on his arrival that he thought von Sacken was dead.
