Arizona Republican-April 3, 1901
MATT DEVANE
April 3, 1901
Thomas Hart, on trial in the district court for the 
murder of Under Sheriff Matt DeVane on the night of 
January 8 was today found guilty of murder in the 
first degree and his sentence was fixed at death.  
Judge Street will pass sentence on Friday April 5.

Hart is a broad shouldered fellow under thirty.  
He takes matters very philosophically and will 
undoubtedly die game.  Since his arrest he has 
been confined in the territorial penitentiary 
the county jail being considered unsafe.  The 
jury was out half an hour.
