have been the act of a man who did not know

Arrested For Murder
A Texas Outlaw Arrested in the Graham
Mountains by Sheriff Whitehill
About a week ago J. C. Webb, of Alpine,
Texas, arrived in this city, and soon hunted up
Sheriff Whitehill. Together they traveled to
Central and called on a colored lady named
Annie Dedrick. They returned to Silver City
just in time to catch the train, and left imme-
diately for Arizona. On Tuesday they returned,
bringing a prisoner by the name of Davidson
with them, who was arrested for the murder
of Jeff Webb, at Alpine, Texas, in July last.
A short time ago J. C. Webb received a
letter from Annie, dated at Central, informing
him that the murderer of his brother could be
found at Camp Grant, Arizona. Mr. Webb im-
mediately took the train for this place, and
called on the lady with Sheriff Whitehill. Annie
stated that she was from Camp Grant, and that
Davidson had told her all about the killing. Her
story of the tragedy agreed with the facts, and
as she could have no apparent motive for pre-
varicating, her story was believed, hence the
sheriffβs trip to Arizona.
