 BURGLAR IN GUN DUEL
(Continued from Page 1.)

linen the llghtS were turned on. Spellmire, who was worn out with his lone efforts for several night to find out who the thief was, had fallen asleep, but the shooting wakened him.
 Campbell and Thompson made a run for the burglar, who had been knock ed down by Thompson's bullet, but who had regained his feet and was still clutching his gun.
 Don't shoot me again." he gasped, 1'm killed"
 The burglar was Al Baldwin, the man Spellmire had suspected. The o. K. rooming house, where Baldwin was either part proprietor with Mrs. Fe- lipa Andrade r>her star boarder, was near the rear of the store.
 Under pr. P. A. Melick's instruc- tions, Baldwin was carried to the hos pital at Williams. He refused to make a statement.
 A search of the rooms occupied by Baldwin and the woman at the room ing house revealed a lot of loot, in cluding several silk dresses, numer- ous suits of clothes, shoes, hardware, cigars and enough other stuff that had been taken from the Babbitt- Poison store to almost stock small store.
 The woman was taken to the hospi- tai to see Baldwin. He refused to talk except to ask her to see to it that he was not buried in Williams. She and her oldest son, Alfonso Andrade, and an adopted son, Angel Guerrero, both about 16 years old, were brought to the county jail in Flagstaff
 A representative of The Sun had a talk with the woman Monday after noon. She denied that she was living with Baldwin. She claimed innocence of any guilty knowledge of Baldwin's stealing, though she admitted that she knew he was bringing great deal of stuff from the store, some of which, she said, he presented to her, but as- serted she thought he was buying it. She admitted, however, that she sus- pected he was buying it from some employe of the store who was stealing it.
 During the celebration in Flagstaff few weeks ago Baldwin and the woman ran a refreshment stand on Railroad avenue and San Francisco street. They went back to Williams with a lot of money, and Mrs. And rade claims she thought Baldwin was using this money to buy goods with. Then she had a scrap with him, she says, and accused him of being a crook. He started to strike her and she pulled gun on him. She says she told City Marshal Bobby Burns, of Williams, that Baldwin was bring ing lot of goods into the house, but that Burns didn't make search. The woman came to Williams from Los Angeles last January and 1eased the rooming house. Baldwin showed up in Williams from Los Angeles in February, then went back to Los An geles to see his mother, who was very sick, then worked in Winslow for a while, returning to Williams late in the spring and remaining there. Mrs. Andrade is not quite clear as to whether he or she ran the rooming house during the last few months, | though he asserted at The Sun office in June that he had leased the place. | The woman has a husband, from Winslow. She doesn't, know whether Baldwin was married, she says. She has ten children, seven of whom were at Williams with her.
 The officers found lot of the loot packed and discovered that the couple had planned leaving together the morning of the shooting in a Ford truck. They believe the pair were just about to make their getaway and that this was the last visit Baldwin would have made to the store. Mrs. Andrade admitted to The Sun man that she and Baldwin were plan ming to leave Monday morning in the Ford for Los Angeles, but claimed they were not going to take any of the loot, but were going for weeks visit with Baldwin's mother.
 Baldwin was about 36. The woman is probably 45.
 The coroner's inquest was held at Williams on Tuesday before Justice of the Peace Button. Thompson was exonerated from all blame.
