(From Fridays Daily.)

B. F. Windsor, the Clarkdale smell ter guard who on Monday shot and killed a Mexican, is still being held IF the Jerome jail, according to word received from that place yesterday si the sheriffs office. While coron- CTS jury investigated the killing the day following, no recommendations were made, and Windsor has not yet been given his hearing by the local justice of the peace. It IS said, how ever. that in all probability Windsor will be bound over to the Superior court. as there is some feeling against him because of the killing.
 The coroner's jury heard great deal of evidence while the case was LIT der consideration, the main facts brought out being practically the same as those printed in the Journal Miner several days ago.
 Windsor, the accused, was the first tc take the stand. He testified that he was deputy sheriff of Iavapal county and had been since last August. That he had been acting in the capacity of peace officer tor fifteen years and came from Los An oeles to this county. That he had known the deceased for about two n onths. That the conditions under which he met him first were that Dr. osco was giving information to the officers and assisting in a tramc-up 10 catch some bootleggers who had offered to sell him booze. It was ar ranged that the officers should come to Orosco's house on that certain night and lie in wait for the bootleg gers. which they did, but the boot leggers failed to materialize. It was then arranged that they should go again the next night. In the mean time. # seemed that Orosco had had change of heart and had notified Deputy Frank Bartlett that he would no longer be a party to the frame I'D. which information Bartlett had not imparted to Windsor. Windsor accompanied by Officer Shumaker' under the original understanding, went to Orosco's house the next right. as they had been told by O1- ficcr Lopez that Bartlett was there After knocking on the door and get tno no response, Windsor opened II and walked in. He was met by Or- osco who demanded. What the h- arc you doing here this time cf night:" to which he replied that he was looking for Bartlett. Orosco replied: You knaw Bartlett was no' here and if catch you around here again I will fill you full ot lead That he had seen the deceased sev- eral times since but had no conver- sat;on with him until the difficulty occurred. That on the night of the shooting he was out on his regular heat and while going in direction oppositc from Orosco's home he met Orosco. who had just come out Of the .oftus pool hall, when Orosco accost- cd him and wanted to know what nc was following him around for, stat inc that he had told him what he would do if he caught him watching him again.
 "I told him was on my regular beat and patrolcd it the same way every night. He said, You arc d. liar. I told him to go home; that he was in no condition to be out. He said. who gave you the right to order me homc,' and put his hand in lis hip pocket and advanced toward me. saving, I will cut you in two' At which time the fatal shot was fired.
 Officer Lopez testified that he was at his home, some hundred yards from where the shooting occurred when he heard the shots and was on the ground in about two minutes; tF.at he searched Orosco for weapons, but found none about his person or lying around on the ground.
 Several other witnesses were eX- amincI whose evidence corroboratcd the foregoing in substance, if not de- tail.
