L. Stephens and was in his office when some one ran in to tell him the ex- citing news, immediately after it was telephoned to Silver City and she had then divulged to the doctor what she knew, giving the names of the robbers. This information Dr. Stephens im- mediately communicated to the sheriff and also telephoned to Superintendent Boyle at Pinos Altos, but no arrests were made awaiting more positive evidence which it was expected next day would and did develop.On Thursday morning the boy was accused by one of his relatives of participation in the crime, and after telling a rambling story of his having returned from Silver City by the way of ’Whiskey Creek, said he would go with the offi- cers and show them the trail they had taken.
