LAST FEW MINUTES
OF STEWART TRIAL
Court Worked Throughout Entire
Session With Machine Like
Precision.

But little ceremony attended the
last few hours of the Stewart trial
in the federal court yesterday The
scene and the action have been de-
tailed elsewhere.
The court was like a well oiled
machine in its speed and accuracy
of action. Complete understanding
was had at all times between the at
torncys and his honor and the jury
never once had to ask for explana-
tions of the evidence or discussion
Not single juror lost a solitary
word of the testimony, the arguments
or the instructions of the court.
The crowd that filled the court
room on Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nes]ay and in the evenings of those
days was of the better sort and in
Guided a surprisingly large number
of ladies'. The court room was or
6erly at all times.
Stewart was impressively cool dur
ing the whole proceedings. Twice he
flincked and showed that the affair
had got under his composure. on
Monday when Morrison told how he
had {as the prosecution maintafned)
thrust Hillpots knife into his breast
as he lay shot and sorely wounded
on the 1lOOr, a SpdSn passed over
the young fellows face and he sWal-
lowed lump that must have risen
in his throat. Again when the clerk
read guilty of murder in the first
degree" he showed he was hit His
face was calm again and he ceased
lfidgeting with his cap after the slip
had been read and recorded. He
| see ned to feel better that the ordeal
was passed
| He held out his wrist to be hand
cuffed to Deputy Joe Porterie and
| left the court room and the federal
| building with Deputies Hill and An
derson. The four walked to the
| court house, where Stewart entered
his cell again, twice sentenced tc
death by juries of his peers.
Stewards record is remarkable in
| at least one way. Not yet twenty
five, he has been allowed to feave
| the army of the United States sans
an honorable discharge; he has beer
| chased a thousand miles for one OF
the most atrocious and brutal muir
ders that even the wild and wolls
/ Arizona ever witnessed: he has twice
| been convicted of killing Fred kibbe
| once in the district court of the
| Fifth judicial district and once il
the United States court at Phoenix
he has suffered part of a life sen
itence on conviction in the fedora

taken up with the examination of i'm
peaching witnesses. Bill futile, owner
of the ranch house, told about enter
ing the SatiOn for a night with over
a thousand dollars in his possession,
being the proceeds of a cattle deal.
Stewart had already said Goodwin was
always proposing that the two con-
duct a murder factory at the ranch
with the object of robbery. Goodwin
had suggested killing futile.
The remainder of the short morn
ing session was devoted to rebuttal
testimony by Ralph Sturges, the stem
ographer who took Stewards statement
in the presence and with the assist
ance of District Attorney Walter
Shupe of Gila county, and E. p. Du-
pen, who was questioned to show
flaws in the defendants description
of the interior of the death room.
Sturges maintained Stewart had
made the statement on which the
prosecution based its rapid-f cross
examination.

court Of the crime of numbering
Alfred Hnlpot his case has been
appealed twice on the Kibbe charge
to the territorial supreme court,
which reversed the district court,
and on the Hillpot charge to the cir
cult court of appeals which sustained
the United States court which con
victed him at Globe.
From private sources of high au-
thority it has been elected that in
all probability the hanging of Stew
art will occur at Globe, where he has
twice stood trial, and near where he
committed the crime for which he
is now to pay with his life.

Sugges tive therapeutics, that lately
became familiar as a factor in medi-
cine entered strongly into the plea
of Benton Dick for the accused
Stewart That Goodwin had either
by actual force or by superior men
tai power forced Stewart to look on
at tie killing of the two defense
less men and had later made him go
on the long flight after having rob-
he'd the oorpses and mutilated one of
them was maintained by the defense
as covering every point. The pre-
vious ordeals of being dragged from
court to court and finally clear
across the nation from Atlanta to
Phoenix were dilated upon. Discrep-
ancies, reckless swearing. the pecu-
liar look of the case which has ac-
quired sixteen witnesses since its
first trial all these points We're flung
at the jury with all Mr. Dicks we'll
known force and eloquence His
most sympathy provoking plea was.
Even though you acquit Stewart,
he has no ghost of a show ever to
breathe the air of this world a free
man. Taking Stewards life will never
bring back that of Fred Kibbe.
Stewart probably has a father and
mother who will be just as badly
hurt if he is killed as Mrs. Kibbe
was when her husband met DEATH"
Morrison Grows Dramatic
Stretching himself at full length
on the court room floor twisting his
neck to show how it was not posi-
BILE to shoot through the eye and
back of the head from a certain posi-
ton flinging the broken rifle down
beside an imaginary corpse, in fact
an almost complete rehearsal of the
crime as the United States under
stands it were resorted to by United
States Attorney Morrison in his final
argument AS Kibbe, Morrison sat at
a supposed table and tried to turn
his head so that he could have been
shot through the left eye and the
middle of the back of his head by
person standing at his left hand and
several feet away In the character
of Hillpot, he laid himself down on
the floor, presumed the firing of the
first shot that killed kibbe and
showed how on his springing up to
defend himself, the shot could have
been fired which pierced the chest of
Hillpot from under one armpit to
under the other. Then falling back
as from the force of the high power
prOJect1le he lay GOWN lat TO nave
his brain figurately dashed out with
the rifle stock and his heart pierced
with his own bowie knife. Coupled
with his rather long, but forceful
argument, the summing up was mas
terly in its effect on the jury. Dick
entered his exceptions to the allega-
ton and Judge Morrow began his in
structions to the jury.

now in custody down at the Old Pue-

planned to assemble the aeroplane for
its bomb attack on the state controlled
towns along the United States from

the proposed attack was to be me- e
on Guagmas. but it has been pointed
out that the plane could not make an
uninterrupted flight from Twin Buttes
to Guaymas. There is no place be
tween those two points where supplies
could be loaded. And besides why
should the plane maneuver or attack

The opening argument for the gov

need not have been coerced. Once,
as much as half a mile from Good

art might have gotten away from
Goodwin at Showlo. Again at Pine
Top Stewart left Goodwin and went
into the presence of men who would
have protected him from his evil
genius.
