FRANK CALDWELL
Arizona Republican Newspaper

Jim Gould, the murderer of Frank B. Caldwell is at last in 
custody and safely stowed away in the jail at Tombstone.  
He was captured Sunday at his camp near the Swisshelm Mountains 
by a party of three Arizona Rangers and Deputy Sheriff Slaughter.  
He was taken to Tombstone Monday morning by Ranger Allison and 
Deputy Sheriff Ben Slaughter.

Gould does not deny having killed Caldwell but claims that he 
shot in self defense and that he has never tried to evade the 
officers but has remained in the vicinity of the killing ever 
since.  Gould's story is disbelieved in both particulars. The 
theory of the killing is that after having had trouble with the 
dead man he laid in wait and ambushed him.  Gould refuses to 
talk on the subject until his case comes up for trial.

The consensus of opinion is that Gould committed the murder 
in cold blood and that he never gave Caldwell a chance to 
fight.  When the trial of Gould comes up in the courts it 
will furnish one of the most interesting cases that has 
been heard in this country for some time, as no one saw the 
crime committed and circumstantial evidence will play an 
important part in the finding of a verdict.

The accounts of the crime at that time said that Caldwell 
was found with a bullet hole in his back and that every 
chamber of his revolver was loaded.  The capture of Gould 
was effected after three weeks of searching by the officers 
who surprised him , with others in their camp in the 
mountains.  Rangers Jorgensen, Allison and Stanford and 
Deputy Slaughter made the capture. Bisbee Review.
