 1 Sherlock Holmes was put to shame during the last week by Deputy Sher- | ifs Red Cannon, Bert Policy and Night Police Sergeant Kempton, who. on Wednesday recovered practically all of the loot secured in the Warren i District during the recent epidemic of hold-ups, for which Roy Emerson and Harvey Kilby are now held in the county jail at Tombstone awaiting tri- al before the superior court. The re- covery of the stolen goods resulted ! from one of the neatest planned and executed investigati ms ever conduct. [ ed in the southwes' and the three men who were mos prominent in To- i eating the loot are coming in for much deserved comlnendation. Two weeks ago last night, H. A. Evans and Tim Hadson were arrested by Cannon, Kempton and other off cials and placed in !ail on charges of bootlegging. Hadsoii soon proved his innocence and was eleased The of { ficers, however. s-ipg chance to 1 learn more Of tii.~2rinles' oi winch
  placed Hadson in Jail, with the lat ter's consent in cell near that occu- pied by Emerson, who has been iden- tiied as one of the worst criminals in the country.
 Confidence Gained
 The next question was: How was Haddon to gain Emerson's conf dence? This was soon solved when Cannon cultivated an unusual appe- tite for fruit. For several days Gan non ate nothing but bananas. and Had son one day secured large quantity of banana peelings, concealed a saw. several saw blades and chisel in them and smuggled them into the jail When Emerson saw the jail-breaking implements and was told how Hadson had managed 10 gel them into the jail, he was convinced that Hadson was a man worth knowing and will ingly divulged much valuable infor- nation regarding the recent hold-ups and the location of the loot.
 Emerson "fell'' for the trick so com pletely, in fact, that he unscrewed rod from one of the iron beds in the jail and, according to the officers, planned to slam Cannon with it in case the deputy sheriff should come into the jail on the night of the pro- posed jail-break. Hadson agreed to help Emerson get out of jail for share of the loot, it is said. and Elm erson gave Hadson a diagram of the place where the watches, pins, etc, secured during the hold-up epidemic, were located. Wednesday night the three officers, armed with strong flashlights, took the diagram and. fol 1 lowing the directions unwittngly giv en them through HadsOn by Emerson, ! found large quantity of jewelry bur jed near the old Copper Queen Glory 1 Hole" on the side of a hill above Bis | bee.
 Loot is Recovered
 According to the officers. the jewel l " was wrapped up in cap and bur ! jed under several inches of earth. In l the cap were found a gold watch. | chain and knife taken from Dr. Rich | ardson: a watch taken from Oscar | Cook; a diamond ring and stickpin | stolen from $. A. Heaton and Dan i Haokley. who were held up near the | r. M. C. A. early on the morning of | February :. and several other pieces | of jewelry and revolver. all of which have been identified by resi- dents of the Warren District as hay ing been lost to highwaymen. The | only loot not found in the cache was ! a kodak taken from resident S Lowell by the highwaymen and about ten dollars in silver taken from R. s. Gowdy and o. s. Mize, of Upper Low ell.
 The officers believe that Emerson ]. was the leading figure in all of the hOld-ups except that in which Eaton and Hackley were the victims. Emer son testified at the preliminary ex- animation of Kilby that the latter had given him a stickpin stolen from Eat on. and Eaton and Hackley declare that the man who held them up was larger than Emerson. Kilby is the larger of the two men now held for the crimes.
 Emerson is considered one of the | most desperate men ever arrested in
