sufficiently outrageous. But this last step is worse.
 Few who conversant with the facts believe that Faltin is insane question of his insanity not raised at his trial. Not word concerning the state of his mind heard until after the supreme court had apparently closed every door against him by the unanimous affirmation of judgment of the court below and by the signature O death warrant by all three judges. But there yet remained for Faltin and those who would him. the insanity dodge.
 Now let us see whither this sort of thing will lead us If Faltin is insane the penitentiary is no place for him; he be transferred the in sane asylum The case of viIlaobos the date of whose execution has been fixed by supreme December 10, next. Every possible in his behalf except the insanity dodge has been exhausted But have doubt, that hay ing been successfully worked in the Faltin it will be tried in Villalobos by the authorities who have determined in disregard of the peoples will that capital punishment shall not be inflicted in this Then VillaIobos will take his place the asylum.
 Next, we have the cases of Rodriguez, the Phoenix wife murderer Perez, Chavez and Peralta. The maudlin have done everything for them that be done except to work the insanity dodge and we presume they too will be to the asylum. So it will go until all of the some sixteen mur- derers at the penitentiary under sentence of death been transferred the asylum where escape will be easy.
 We indulging in unreasonable probabili- but we describing logical sequence of events that would follow finding by Pina county jury that FaItin is insane. But if the jury should find that he is insane, the purpose of the state authorities will still have been partially served. The execution of the sentence will have delayed for thirty sixty days Before the expiration of that period there would be nothing to prevent raising the insanity dodge again, and so on in the case of every murderer under condemnation.
 We do believe that the of Arizona will stand for these outrages upon the law mitted under the cloak of the law. The who doing these things have been foremost in their professions favor of the rule of the people. The people in unmistakable have sig nified they do these things done They removed from the governor, thought they did his power do these things
 We are discussing the question of capi- punishment. When that question again arises, if other measure may be substituted for it that will avoid the taking of human life and pro nises equal protection the lives of citizens The Republican will support it. Capital punishment is repugnant to all. But just urging the against the evasion of it by subterfuge.

The Insanity Dodqe

We have earlier record of such out rageous setting aside of the law by those who have taken a solemn oath support it and en- force it, that action at Florence yesterday, re- sulting in the postponement of the execution of William Faltin the brutua murderer. It may be said that the action was taken wholly within statutes. But those charged with the enforcement of the law, by one pretext another find a way to circumvent any law.
 We have not been surprised by this disregard of the law; have been expecting it. for a dis position to disregard it has been evident January l of this year when unrestricted power of the governor to grant pardons paroles and com mutations taken away from him by the people after his wholesale abuse of it. The action par taking of the nature of a conspiracy taken summer to save secure the fpostponement of the execution of four murderers by a frivolous appeal the supreme which promptly kicked it out

He will continue to fIce it in the county court, just as soon as papers can be filed. That he did not take immediate steps with a trusty shotgun, is a tes- timonial to his Teutonic patience.
 Having sQuatted on unsurvcved land for number of years. during which he made extensive improvements. I.ud- when the survey should have given him the right. The plate were filed November l. He possessed a prefer ence right extending for ninety days from tEc time of filing Monday ne went 10 Naricopa to procure neces- saries with which further to improve his tract, and OF his return. found his hand had posted his own notices. and had filed 8 claim at me land office. Ludwig came to Phoenix yesterday and filed his own clam. which on account of his long possession, gives him unsuitable prior rights. which tho land office says can be maintained in the courts.
 Ludwig was considerably wrought up over the incident. naturally. but was exceedingly mild in his move ments to reclaim the temporarily lost homestead. He will file custer pro ccedings in the county court today.
