HURDERER OF MILLESS

arrived at the hotel she noticed that
the clock marked the hour as 10:40,
She heard nothing said of an Intended
hold-up.
Cross-examined she admitted that
she had lived with Noftz, and has
sometimes gone by the name of Mrs.
Noftz. A rigid cross-examination
failed to shake the woman, and she
proved a aluable witness for the de-
fense. I

who went to Naco soon after the mur-
tier or Milieus in tue hope that some

stableman that but one team had pu:
up there that night, and that had been
driven by other parties than James
and Noftz,
The defendant, Johnny James, too
the stand in his own behalf, and de
nied any knowledge of the hold-up, ue
claring that, according to the reports
which he had read in Cananea or it, ho
must have been in Naco before it oc-
curred. The defenaant told a vlv.
tale of the cruel treatment ho recciV'
ed at tho city Jail in this city, being
obliged to go without food for a period
ii mur wnoio cays, geumg nui a slice
of. bread then. He related the meth'
ods resorted to by the officers to force
him to confess his guilt in connect
with tho murder of Milless, claiming
tiiat Harry Jennings boasted to him
that before "tney got through
j him he would come through." James
claimed that on the sixth day of his
incarceration he asked for some tea.
ThU was given him, but it was so sat.
urated with soap that it made him
Sick. He told a pitiful tale of his
treatment in the jail here, and some
of. the accusations which he made
against, the officers created ft snisa
tlon, having been unknown to the pub
lic before the prisoner took the stand.
Following the statements of the e-1
fendant came the arguments of coun-,
sel. Attorney McGowan contending
that not a fact had been proven u
the prosecution, and deriding the tes
timony of Asche and the woman, Mil
dred Ray. He dwelt at length on the
treatment accorded his client while
he was confined in the city jail, liken
ing it to the acts of the middle ages.
He scored the the officers whe .were
guilty of ouch acts as un-American anu
fitter subjects for a criminal suit than
the man before the bar. McGowan
dwelt on the flimsiness of the prosecu
tion at every point, and in the strong
est terms denounced the testimony
' and character some of the prosecu
tion's witnesses.
Attorney Neale, for the prosecution,
dwelt on the fact that the conflicting
statements of the witnesses fo
fens In point of time as a matter
which could not help but cast suspic
ion on the acts of the defendants.
The testimony adduced at the James
hearing- was submitted, by mutual
agreement of the attorneys, as bearing
on the charge against Mabel Carlisle.
A prolonged hush fell upon the
court room as Justice McDonald pre
pared to read his decision in the cases
before him. Ho finally announce,
that in view of the evidence at hand
ho -"-as satisfied thit there was suffi
cient cause to believe the defendants
guilty, and ordered them lurnea over
to the keeping of the sheriff until the
xr.i"ii iiit meets at the December
term of court,
Never once throughout the entire
taking of testimony did Johnny James
show emotion, not even when the con
fession of Noftz was read, throwing
tne blame for the murder of Milless
on him.
Later, when his attorney showed
him the confession he read it without

being shewn in a alight pallor that

be replaced but a moment later with
a smile of derision and a remark aside
to Attorney McGowan: "Now, what ao
you think or that?"
After a short conference with his at
torney In the latter's office, James was
taken back to the city jail to' await
his removal to the county jail. Both
ho and the Carlisle woman will bo tak

The crime for which Johnny James
nas iarrested and yesterday proven
guilty in the eyes of all falr-minaed
persons occurred on the morning of
August 19, at 12:B0 o'clock. James
and Notts swooped down upon tho st-,
cruelty those whom they thought stood
in their way of getting possession of
tno large sum of money they knew to
be stowed away In L C. Shattuck's
sae-
It was one of the most cruel and
cold-blooded murders In tho history of
thugs' operations. Armed to the teeth
and masked and disguised Deyond
recognition, Johnny James turned up-
on the poor old man who stood upon
bis right as he entered the saloon, and
before tho profane command to "throw
up your hands" had fully escaped .s
ups, shot I O. Miuess twice. Tne oia
man fell to the floor and gasped his
last without a word.
The countryside was thrown into a
' fienzy of excitement at the news of
tho horrifying deed, and had the mur-
derer been caught, there is no doubt
i that ho nrntlM hflva cufforiiH o TWfpV
that he would have suffered a speecy
end at the hands of the enraged popu
lace.
Those who wero attracted to the
scene of the murder shortly after its
occurrence 'were dumbfounded at the
sight that met, their gaze, none there
were who could gather tho necessary
presence of wind to run domi the foul
perpetrators of tho crime. The ele
ments even seemed to have put lorth
tllir ,.. pfrorfa , hii thp tracks oi
the dastards, for while preparations
were being made to trail those who
had come and gone, leaving bloody
death in their wake, rain washed outf
all trace of their trail, and for weeks
no clew to the whereabouts of the pair
could bo found.
But murder will out, and it was not

James and Bert Noftz.
A better time could not have been
selected for the perpetration of tho
fiendish plot than tho one that pre
sented itself to tho convenience of
James and his accomplices. A d izzly j
rain had fallen at intervals during the
day. and the lowering black night of
