Wednesday evening Frank Murray and

chunk 374 · paragraph 1317

Lordsburg whenever he has the opportunity, and if he is pardoned he may carry out his threats. The circumstances of the crime have been fully set out before the governor, who, of course, will not grant the pardon. ( 7 ) From ihe February 21, 1890, Issue of The Enterprise Wednesday evening Frank Murray and George West were brought in from the Gila where they had been captured by Deputy Sher- iffs Moore, Windham, Nixson and Richardson. They were captured at Mart Childer’s place on the river, and had their horses, twenty four head, in the Bell pasture. They made no re- sistance, and after being captured one of them stated that the band of horses in their possession were from Mexico, and had been purchased by him along the line. It seems that these two boys first stole a bunch of horses on the Rio Grande, took them to Mexico and returned to this county with a bunch from Mexico. They probably “traded’’ with some other thieves. Murray is well known in the western part of Grant County, having during the past two years worked for several different people there, among them Drew Windham, one of the gentle- men who assisted in his capture.
