ELECT IS
COMM 7 TED To
STATE ASYLUM

Miss Bertha Smith. who for the past
year has been known as Bride Elect"
was yesterday committed to the
state asylum for the insane. The girl,
who had visions of a glorious temple
which she was to erect in Paradise
valley, was adjudged insane after
lengthy hearing before Judge Sapp of
Navajo, who signed the commitment.
Half dozen doctors testified and in
addition to the physicians statements
were those of the young woman who
for seven years was an inmate of the
New York state asylum.
Questioned by the physicians and the
court, Miss Smith, who spoke for her
self as Gods Chosen Lady" declared
that she had vision of a temple which
she proposed to erect and which Would
contain seven doors by which the seven
Protestant religions might enter. She
said she required 100 acres for the
temple but refused to divulge by what
means she would obtain funds for the
structure on the ground that other
people might take advantage of her

plans and use the same means of APP
propriating funds for themselves.
While Miss Smith does not show any
evidence of being insane on any subject
save that of religion. her mentality is
below normal according To the testi-
mOny introduced at the hearing. Miss
Smith has lived in Arizona practically
all her life. save the few years she was
in New York. Her parents, both of
whom are dead, once had mining inter
ests in Yavapai county where the fam
iiy lived for some time. Many years
ago Miss Smith came to Phoenix and
occupied 4 position in a down town Of
flee. She went east to perfect an in
vention and the next heard of her, was
that she was insane. She was paroled
later and came to Phoenix two years
ago shortly after her arrival claiming
that she had been adjudged sane by the
court of appeals of New York.

HUGHES BODY
FOUND; THIRD
MAN WAN ED
Ell Paso Suspect Confesses
to Murder, Revealing the
Spot Where Body Had
Been Buried Near Tempe
[Repdblican A. p. Leased wirel

[Repdhlican A. p. Leased Wirel
81 PASO, Tex, Feb. 17.-Georse
Harmon, young man held here on
robbery charges, is said to have con-
fessed today to numbering Stephen
Hughes, ranch owner of Tempe, Ariz.,
on December last. The discovery of
the body by the authorities at Tempe
in the spot where Harmon said it was
buried, followed a telegraph report OF
is only about p years old, blames his
partner, John Croft, also held on local
robbery charges for the crime. His al
legged confession follows:
81 killed Stephen Hughes on Deem
Der 8. killed him with an axe at night
about 10 or II o'clock, wrapped him
up in blankets, dug iHto the ditch and
buried him in the ditch on his own
ranch about 100 feet north of the house
and was forced to do so by John Croft.
! sold hay belonging to Stephen Hughes
amounting to $500 and turned the
money received over to John Croft.
forged checks on Hughes amounting
to 5000, forced to do so by Croft"
Harmon, who makes the confession
under his right name of L. Anderson,
was arrested here on January 20 with
John Croft, alias Dave Breen, in con-
nection with an attempted robbery of
a jewelry store in 81 Paso. Croft, age
3S, admitted serving terms in peniten-
tiaries in New York, Michigan, Colo
RADIO and Nebraska.
Lying within 80 yards of the house
which has been his home ever since
he settled in the Salt River valley, the
body of Steve Hughes was found yes
terday buried under two feet of soil in
an irrigation ditch, and the mystery
of his disappearance at last cleared
up.
1t is probable that former Sheriff
Adams would have gone on with his
hunt for the next week or so and never
found the body, if it had not been for
the confession of one of the men. who
were arrested in FL PasO, charged with
knowing something of the strange dis
appearance of Hughes.
There is another man wanted in con-
nection with the case, though there is
no evidence that he had an actual part
in the murder of Hughes. He is a
youth named Houlihan who was first
noticed about Tempe in the company of
Harmon and Croft, the other murderer,
after the supposed departure of Hughes
and other property about the place and
remained after they left, cleaning up
the odds and ends in the deal.
1t was brought to the notice of Sher-
iff Will1y last week that this youth had
sold two loads of hay to some Mexi-
cans and the Mexicans were brought
TO the sheriff's office where they stated
that they had arranged with Houlihan
to meet him at the Hughes place Oh the
following Tuesday to purchase the re-
mainder of the hay, about two loads.
Sheriff Wilky and Deputy Sheriff
Barrett went there before daylight on
Tuesday morning and concealed them
selves, awaiting the arrival of Houli-
han. The same information regarding
the intended meeting had come to 9TH
er parties with the result that some 20
persons had gathered in the vicinity.
Naturally HOulihan did not appear and
has not since been heard off Sheriff

Wilky has telegraphed in all directions,
so far without result.
1t is known that Hughes had in his
possession at the time of his disap-
pearance about sl,70O and it is estimat-
ed that at the time Croft and Harmon
left they had sold stock, hay, furni-
ture and other belongings to Hughes
of the value about $500, so that they
carried away with them as murder
profit not less than $3,500.
Hughes ranch consists of $50 acres
worth in the neighborhood of S27 600
encountered by a mortgage for $4,000.
Anderson Makes Confession
Arrested under the name of Ander-
son, although he is also known as Har-
mon. one of the two men held in Ell
Paso charged with robbing a jewelry
store there, confessed yesterday that
he aided his partner in killing Hughes.
He told Marshal Browning of Tempe.
just where the body was to be found.
The marshal at once got into commu
nication with Jeff Adams, and, sure
enough, lying in an irrigation ditch
which has been carrying a fun head of
water for the past week, the searchers
found Hughes body with the head
badly caved in on one side
1t has been thought for some time,
that the two men caught in Ell Paso
knew something of the crime. They
were the last two human beings seen
with Hughes, and when yesterday an
old well near the ranch was pumped
out and in the bottom were found two
suit cases, containing old clothes be-
longing to Hughes, it was finally de-
cided that he had been murdered, and
it was up to the authorities to find the
body.
Browning, who went to FL Paso in an
attempt to get the two men to talk,
finally managed to eXtort a confession
from Anderson. He told him that the
suit cases had been found and that in
one of them a letter addressed to him
(Anderson) was found, and that he
might as we'll confess as the game was
up. Anderson decided that such must
be the case, and gave the officer direc-
tons as to how to find the body
Hughes was lying on his side in the
ditch, partly doubled up, and with a
blanket over him keeping the dirt off
the body The left side OF the head
was badly caved in, and from all APP
pearances he was hit with an axe. The
body is in a remarkable state Of pres
erVation.
A coroner's jury was impanelled on
the spot, and brought in verdict that
Hughes came to his death by being
struck on the side of the head with a
blunt instrument in the hands of some
unknown person.
A sister of Hughes, who first sus-
pected that he had been done away
with when she failed to hear from him
at her home in Kansas, was in FL
Paso yesterday. and win be in Phoenix.
probably late today, to take charge of
the body, which, at present, is being
held at Carr's Undertaking rooms.
County Attorney Laney swore out a
warrant for the two men held in FL
Paso, charging them with murder The
warrant was signed by one of the men
who was present when the body was
found. 1t is probable that they will be
brought back TO Phoenix for trial in

the Adams, until he left this morning.
1t was Mr.. Ritter's first trip to Phoe-
nix, this being in spite of the fact that
he is the travelling passenger agent of
the Santa Fe system.
On his present tour he expects to
visit eight states, going direct to Chi
cago from Phoenix. 1t is his duty TO
visit every state in the Union during
his term of office. He stated that he
usually visits only the grand lodges of
the different states, but that he thought
his trip to Phoenix was well repayed,
though no grand lodge was in session
at the time.
At the /. o. o. f. headquarters last
night, a general reception was held for
the distinguished visitor. Mr.. Ritter
will not return to San Francisco until
June, and after a short stay there, he
will then finish his tour of the country

EVERETT MILL MAN
MAKES SMOKE CONSUMER

EVERETT, Oct. 9.-Chief Davis,
of the Victoria fire department, and
several aldermen of that city were
in Everett today inspecting the only
smoke consumer in this city, and the
only one on the coast, Fire Chief
Tara says. The device is in the CHM
neys of the Robinson Manufacturing
Company's plant. AS the particles of
partly consumed matter rise in the
flue they are drawn into a species of
bake oven on one side. where they are
burned completely. The result of the
appliance is that the smokestack has
never been equipped with net. be-
cause there is nothing left to carry
sparks. The device was worked out
by Thomas Robinson, manager OF the
mill. From 10 to 20 per cent of the
normal cost of a stack will equip 1t
with this device.
