 Later the officers went to the store and finding the man still sitting on the platform. asked what he wanted. Receiving no respone one of the offi- cers informed the stranger that he could consider himself under arrest Like flash the stranger jumped to his feet and whipped out a pistol, One. Of the officers was instantly killed and the other seriously wounded.
 On the night of the shooting. the man made his escape but several weeks later again appeared in Doug las. He was in saloon standing at the bar when the officer that he had wounded walked in. He failed to comply with the command to throw up his hands in time to suit the of icer who shot him in his tracks, death being instantaneous. Since then it has always been a matter of contention whether or not the strang- CT was the one who shot the two officers and whether or not he put up his hands or started to reach for his hip pocket. Leroy was so af' fected by the tragedy that he closed out his business in Douglas as soon as possible and moved to Bisbee.

While there are many who may have the idea that Arthur Leroy was nasty in his actions early Satur- day morning at which time he shot and killed Lee Perry. yet there is every reason to believe that a pre- vious incident in his life has bear ing on the recent shooting The earl fer occurrence has undoubtedly left Leroy in such a nervous state that he is prone to act on the impulse ol the moment and under few circum- stances would man of his exper- fences indulge in what is more com monly known as taking a chance.
 It was while living in Douglas five years ago, and engaged in the same business, that Leroy was party m a circumstance that eventually lead to the killing of two people. On the night of the first shooting. Leroy left his store early but on the way home met a customer who insisted that he be allowed to make some ad- ditional purchases.
 Leroy acquiesced in the demand and upon arrival at the store he found a man sitting on the platform near the front door. Leroy's sus- picions were aroused as a neighboring store had recently been the scene or an attempted robbery. and when he

We. the jury. find that Lee Perry, of Missouri. came to his death by a sunshot wound inflicted by Arthur Leroy"
 Such was the verdict submitted by the coroner's jury after a thirty min ute session in Justice Highs court yesterday afternoon. The testimony was decidedly brief. telling of the statements made by Leroy of the noise he had heard. of his going to the yard with his pistol wrapped in d newspaper. of his shooting while in tending to aim above the crouching fern of man and of his notifying the police after he had heard the voice of Perry and recognized him. Those serving on the jury were J. N. Chap man, M, C. Benton, Ben Rambo, A. Grim, J. c. Gibson and w. A. Rich ardson.
 Upon the assembling of the jury, which had viewed the body as it lay where Perry fell when shot, the fol lowing witnesses were examined: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Leroy, Deputies Den ny Twomey and Henry Hall. Dr. x. C. Bledsoe and Jack" Perry, a cousin of the deceased.
 In her testimony Mrs. Leroy told of hearing the noise in the yard and notifying her husband, who thought nothing of the occurrence and re- turned to sleep. She also ,ld of hear ing the second noise, seeing her hus. band leave the house with pistol wrapped in a newspaper and of hear. ing one shot fired Later, of how her husband had rushed into the horse, tod Ter of what had happs and how he had hastily dressed and gone 10 notify the officers.
 Leroy Tells Story
 Leroy's statements were in accoi'i with the account of the shooting as told in yesterday mornings issue Of the Review. He told of calling before he shot and upon receiving no answer from the crouching form near the wood pile how he had fired, thinking that he was aiming above the form Again he explained that he recognized the voice of Perry after the shot had been fired. and as soon as he made certain of the identification, how he had dressed and gone to inform the officers. He explained that he was acquainted with Perry and that notn ing had ever passed between them that would leave a feeling of the slightest animosity.
 Deputy Twomey told of being in formed ,r ii. s''octing }. Lc.oy and of going immediately to the scene and taking chai i,e of the body and of hay. ing Leroy uJder arrest. He remained at the house until after the coroner S s,rrv had nerformed their duty ard of then escorting Leroy to jail.

PLOMOSA CAMP WAS
 BUSY DISTRICT ONCE

MORALES. June 19-Interestiag reports were told of the Gro Blanco country the other day by practical miner who has recently visited this district. In speaking of the Plomosa camp. he stated that few years ago this was busy district, the mine being worked for lead and silver. A hundred-ton smelling plant was erect ed for treating the ores from this and surrounding mines, but that at pres ent the mines under operation are the Durango and Leandrania. The Duraz- no Is being worked by eastern peo- ple. with Mir. Phillips as resident sn- perintendent. They have several fe1t of development work done in the way of shafts and drifts and nave eXposed good bodies of ore. The ore is free
 milling, and can be treated very sue Icessfully. The 'Leanorina Is also a
 gold mine and is operated by M'.

dently been almost Instantaneous, he He explained that the bullet entered just below the nape of the neck and emerged in the front of the necS Just above the collar bone.
 Jack Perry testified to the char acter of his cousin and to the effect that he knew of no i'll feeling between him and Leroy. He stated that ne had been appraised of the shooting early yesterday morning, and that he found conditions in accordance with testimony already given.
 From statements made by Leroy 10 the effect that his wife first called his attention to the noise in the yard. and that itwas only after hearing tine noise second time that he went to investigate, 1t gives rise to the theory that Perry had been in the yard for several minutes before the shooting. The theoretical impression gleaned from the limited testimony introduce is to the effect that Perry was on his way home on the road along which were the trenches and pipe for the new city water mains.
 It is presumed that he fell by trip ping over one of the pipes and rolled down the embankment through the wire fence and onto the wood pile in in the Leroy yard. This is believed to be the first noise heard by Mrs. Leroy. who wakened her husband, who listend for minute, but hearing nothing further went back to sleep.
 From the bruises and scratches about the body il is also evident that the injuries received in the fall were of serious consequence, sufficient D produce a dazed condition in which the man was evidently laboring when accosted by Le Roy, who asked. Who is there and what do you want?" Body Goes to Texas
