The Journal Miner of Wednesday gives the following account 
of a horrible murder near Jerome the day before.

A frightful tragedy was enacted yesterday afternoon ten 
miles form Jerome on the new railroad in which Bob 
Parsons cut the throat of Bohemia, a Mexican prostitute, 
with whom he had until a few days ago been living.  The 
particulars are very meager, but enough was learned 
previous to the departure of the stage to show that the 
crime was one of the most fiendish and cowardly.  The 
victim a few days ago discarded Parsons and stealing 
upon her as she slept in a tent, almost severed her head 
from her body.

Parsons name will be recalled by many in Prescott who knew him 
only as a drunkard and good for nothing man who has slumbered 
in jail half a dozen times on as many charges for his 
quarrelsome disposition.

Deputy sheriff Roberts immediately arrested the murderer and 
has him in custody at Jerome awaiting the arrival of Deputy 
Merritt who left this evening.

The deceased woman was but 23 years old and had been in 
Jerome for some years.
