charge of transporting liquor from
Mexico into this country, was be
lieved for a time hy deputy sheriffS

received a similar wound from the
policeman some time before the lat
ter was killed at night i'll an alley
here.
Deputies said Sapcda YVES later
identified as not being the man
wanted in connection with the mur,
der of Robinson. However a further
investigation is being conducted to
establish thoroughly Sapcda 5

Some time before Robinson was
killed he shot Mexican whose

after Espinosa was seen with two
or three other men late one night
on the east side and attempted to
escape in an automobile after Rob

abdomen and was taken to the coun-
ty hospital. After he began to re-
cover from the wound his friends
were permitted to visit him.
During such a call a saw or file
was smuggled to the Mexican, who
cut the leg irons by which he was
held and made his escape. 1t was
several weeks after that when
Robinson was killed while patrolling
an alley late one 2ight on the east
side.
Deputy Shcriffs said today they
have good evidence that Espinosa
was the policeman 5 slayer and as
Sapeda carries bullet wound simil-
are to Espinosa s his case was be
ing investigated. Deputies said
Sapeda did not account for the
wound.
Sapcda was arrested or the Cal
cXico highway today in company
with Jose Toledo, y, also OF Holt

Is the Staying of Chinese enemy, policeman,
more heinous than the murder of an American
by foul wretch to whom she gave her love and who
promised before God and protect her? Judging
from the Washington and Arizona executions it would

farlous schemes of California.

nation as father guards his offspring and he is will
ing to do 1t for another term Not only willing but
eager, in spite of the fact that he has reached the
period OF life when quiet and leisure have their allure
ments, to quote his official announcement of his
didacy
The dastardy Arizona Republicans arouse the
governors wrath because they sold out the state at
Kansas City by supporting Hoover, the arch-fend who
would build Boulder dam and rob Arizona of the birth
right which the governor magines is hers. Therefore
the governor must needs buckle on his shield and go
forth to the fray passing the alluremens of carpet
slippers and easy chair.
He'll save Arizona. "No other candidate could
