Thos. Pulliam returned last Sunday from a trip to Florence, where he took the two prisoners who were sentenced for burglar izing the store of Hill & Kennedy at Williams. After placing them in the penitentiary, Mir. Pulliam returned via Phoenix, where he took charge of two men who were arrested upon a charge of bur glarizing the Grand Canyon store, and they were brought to Flag staff and placed in the county jail to await trial. It is said that the men cashed a check in Phoe- nix which led to their arrest, and which may figure in their convic- ton.

A Lost Heir

There has come to the notice of the people in Arizona who are reached by human interest stories, a tale of more than the common interest. Mir. Robert 5. Fisher, attorney of Phoenix has been notified of the death of a Mrs. Maritime. She died very suddenly in Los Angeles, leaving a considerable amount of property to her only heir, a son, Albert H. Maritime. Although diligent search has been made, this son has not been found. The last heard of him he was working in a mine, somewhere in Arizona, and there is a rumor that he was injured or killed. Inasmuch as the admin istrator of the estate has the fund in tact and is waiting the appear ance of the heir if he is alive, it is but humanitarian act, which no doubt anyone would be glad to perform, to notify those concerned of the whereabouts of Albert H. Maritime. Anyone having infor- nation will confer great favor upon him if alive and upon those who are endeavoring to dispose ot the property of the dead woman in California. Any word sent to Struckmeyer and Fisher, attorneys at law, Phoenix, Arizona, will be gratefully received by them on behalf of those interested.

was discredited by those who knew
the men best and it has never been
accepted as truthful even to this day.
It is said that the Humphreys could
have been made to say anything un-
der proper conditions and few have
believed their story of the Philo-
math murder, or the many other
crimes which they were said to have
confessed. " At any rate there is
a large element of doubt in the whole
affair and therein lies the principal
reason for the present move for
clemency.
All of which serves to once more
emphasize and bring close to home,
the unjustness and the paganism of
hgalized murder Here are two ut
terly ambitionless individuals, harm
less, unassuming men who might al
most be placed in the feeble minded
class, men whom those who know
them best are believed to be abso-
lutely incapable of committing such
crime as that of which they have
been convicted, yet they stand today
in the shadow of the gallows and,
unless the efforts for clemency shall
prevail, their lifeless bodies will soon
be swinging at the end of rope.
Their conviction was largely the re-
suit of a confession' that might
have been no confession at all. Men
of the class of mind possessed by the
accused can, under the clever manip-
ulations of the reward-hunting "de-
tective," schoOled in such methods,
be made to say almost anything
without realizing the consequences of
their acts or the truth of what they
are saying. This is a slender thread
upon which to drive two men to the
gallows yet it is the heritage of the
legalized murder system. How much
more humane, how much more en-
lightened and satisfying to all con-
cemed, would be a life sentence in
the penitentiary. They may be
guilty, but the probabilities are that
they are not, and it is hoped that the
efforts which will be made to save
them from the moose will be sue
cessful.

We fear "There is something rot

read in The Observer that "The eoun-

or less, than last year-while we
taxpayers find that our taxes are
about proportionally higher. Perhaps
these extra taxes are for road work,
but we don't seem to get it. We did
have some fairly good roads here, but
the county didn't make them. One
man donated gravel and work, and the
rest donated work. And now since
the mill company has cut the roads mp

our taxes go up. presumably 10 fix the

HELP FOR THE HUMPHREYS.

A movement is now on foot look
ing to executive clemency for the
Humphrey brothers, former residents
of Polk county, doomed to death by
the moose at Salem for the murder of
an aged woman near Philomath in
the summer of 1911. Petitions are
being circulated in localities where
the men have formerly lived and it
is probable that the people of Dal-
las and vicinity, who know the men,
will be asked to sign such appeals.
The Observer is of the opinion that
these men should not be hanged for
the crime, and this belief is not based
wholly upon our disapproval of cap
ital punishment, but because, from
what we can learn, there is grave
doubt that the men are guilty. Those
who knew the men, while residents
Of this county, are practically united
in the opinion that they are guiltless
of the crime charged against them.
They declare that the men do not
possess enough nerve, or sense to
commit such a crime and to cover all
traces so completely and so cum
ningly as the murderer did in this
case. While living here they were
known as harmless, ignorant, uncul-
tivated individuals, and the worst
that could be said of them was that
they were shiftless and ambitionleSs.

confession" was received here, is
