HIGH MISDEMEANOR CASES ID BE BEGUN
 IN JUSTICE COURT

Revision of the processes of crim- Anal law. insofar as they affect high misdemeanor actions, has been decid- cd upon by County Attorney R. D. l.. Sheppard as a means of adding to the annual income of the county, it was Announced yesterday.
 In order that the countg can col feet all fines assessed against the de- fendants in high misdemeanor cases and especially those involving viola tions of liquor laws, the actions here after will be instituted fin justice courts of the county, the announce ment said.
 Under the state statutes, actions of this character can be taken directly into the superior court by direct in- formation against ths defendant with out the customary arraignment and preliminary examination as provided in felony actions.
 As a result of this statutory provis- ion. it has been customary during the past four years to initiate proceedings against prohibition violators in the superior court. The result of this practice has been to deprive the coun- ty of any share in the fines assessed, tho full amount going into the state coffers. although all expense of cap- turing the guilty parties has been paid by the county.
 Under Che plan instituted by County Attorney Sheppard all cases of this character will hereafter be initiated in the justice courts. Persons charged with high misdemeanors will be ar raigned in these lower tribunals ana given a preliminary examination. if SC desired. the same process as applied to felIny cases. Dismissal of the ac. tion or holding the defendant to an swer to the superior court is possible at the conclusion of the preliminary examination.
 By this means 1t was explained, | will be possible for the county to shar' the fines and in this manner be re paid for the expense encountered b! the county in effecting captures.
 One of the first instances of the new practice took place yesterday whei Cruz Ochoa was arraigned before Jus tice Nat Mckee in the West Phoe precinct court on a charge of trans porting intoxicating liquor. He wa held to answer to the superior cour after waiving preliminary examina tion. Bond was fixed in the sum O $500. which the defendant was unabl to furnish.

McF'all has given during the past IS years as trustee of the school. He emphasized the fact that MT. McFaIFs interest and enthusiasm for the high school was a great inspiration and help, and that they had long looked upon him as a loyal friend, and upon this occasion it was rather as friends than teachers that they came to pay their respects and congratulations upon the happy occasion. He then presented a morris chair to Mir. McFau as token of friendship and appre- citation, and to Mrs. McFall a beauti- ful Japanese tray. This part of the evenings program was concluded by an appropriate song by Miss Elliott. During the evening there were sev- -eral lmpromptu numbers by a male quartet composed of Mir. Heidenreich. MT. Lehigh, Mir. Jones and Mir. Slagle and also resitations by Robert S. Rosenhauer.

MEXICAN MURDERER EXP|ATES HIS CRIME
 O|V PRISON SCAFFOLD

Tn the first graying dawn yesterday morning Pedro DomingueZ eXplated at the penitentiary the crime of a cold blooded and unexplained murder of which he had never spoken. He was hanged at 5: 30 in the presence only or nrison officials and Father Audubon who administered the last rites of the church.
 Dominguez went calmly from the death cell to the scaffold and declined the opportunity of a last word. His neck was broken by the fall and in ten minutes he was pronounced dead
 Information that he had been hanged came in a telephone message from the warden to the office of the governor, but it related none of the details.
 The crime for which Dominguez was hanged was committed at Morenci on June II, 1920. He and his victim, An tonic Mencheca, were miners eTn- ployed in one of the mines there. Lit tie was known of Dominguez, who had been there only 20 days. One morning Dominguez seated himself on a rock at the entrance of a tunnel leading to the level where he and Mencheca were employed. As Mencheca and another i man approached Dominguez rose from l the rock and shot Mencheca- He then walked away, making no effort to es- cape or to resist arrest, but held the weapon at his side.
 He was tried the following August and was convicted and sentenced to be hanged on Nov. ,. On Nov. 3 a re l prieve until Jan. 14 was given him in
 order that the board Of pardons and paroles might investigate his case at the request of the Mexican authorities,
 who claimed that he was a Mexican
 citizen But at the time he was taken to the prison he stated that he was
 born in Texas. not far from the Mex
 ican border.

A MORE MEXICAN vAGRANTS ARE SENT
 ID THE CITY JAIL

what will they do with them7" was q question asked at police headquar- ters yesterday after IA more Mexcans had been found guilty of vagrancy and sentenced to serve 30 days each in the city jail.
 there were S5 inmates of the city jail yesterday. Most of them are serving sentences which will not terminate for two or three weeks. Almost all of them are Mexicans. The city jail can not accommodate any one comfortably and taxed with an unusual number of prisoners. conditions are exceedingly bad.
 Because of the congestion in the jail a chain gang has been suggested as one method of relieving conditions. It is pointed out that with a gang of workers on the street the prisoners could find relaxation from their con- finement and at the same time do much toward improving the city streets and alleys.
 That the men arrested for vagrancy are for the most part hard pressed for money and in a position where they might become dangerous to the community is indicated by the police record which shows the money and articles taken from each prisoner al the time of his arrest. Following are a few cases taken at random from the police docket:
 Francisco Castillo. junk (junk in the pariance of police records means ar ticles or papers and letters of no in trinsic value); Pedro Perez, 30 cent! and junk: Pedro M. Rocho, junk Manuel Alevias. s1.55 and junk; Felip' Ramero. IS cents; Rafael Frayne, si' cents and junk: Ross Johnson. 3 cents and keys.
 There have been 27 Mexicans com mitted to the city jail for 30-da, terms this week.
