GRAPHOPHONE ACQUIRED
BY RAILWAY PURCHASE
Fortune Favors Jesus Montenegro, to
Whom Boy Brings Bargain.

When a large repair shop of Phoenix
was entered last February and robbed
OF hundred dollar violin, graphic
phone, and a valuable shot gun. the
owner notified the police who tried to
discover the burglar. but without sue
cess. After several months of waiting.
the owner of the shop bade his goods
farewell, and gave up hope of re-
gaining his possessions.
Yesterday Jesus Montenegro, Mexi-
can resident Of this city found him
self under suspicion when he brought
a graphOphone to the same shop 10 be
repaired. After u careful examination
the proprietor recognized the machine
as the one stolen from his rooms in
February, and he promptly notified the
police, who took Montenegro into Gus
tody
Montenegro stoutly protested his in
nOcence. and affirmed that the ma
chine had been sold to him last Sep
TENDER by a boy who claimed he had
found it lying along the railroad tracks.
The machine was offered 20 him at
bargain. and he bought it without ever
entertaining the suspicion that he
would ever be liable TO arrest on ac-
count of his innocent purchase.
The fact that the machine resembled
the one stolen from the shop last Feb
ruary was not sufficient evidence to
prove Montenegro's connection with
the burglary. and his story about buy
ing the machine in September conflict
ed with the shop owners tale about
losing his property in February.
At a late hour yesterday nothing
had been done with the Mexican He
will probably be allowed to take pos
session Of his graphOphone. and will
settle down to ordinary every day life
while awaiting an opportunity to buy
