Mr. INNOCENTE
Arizona Republican Newspaper
August 9, 1895

A murderer passed through Pheonix yesterday morning and hot 
on his trail was Deputy Sheriff J.L. Munds, of Yavapaie 
County.  The very much wateed murderer is named Frederico 
Monge, who killed a man named Innocente and wounded another at 
Walnut Grove Sunday night.  After the perpetration of the 
foul deed he walked out of the country towards Phoenix.  As 
soon as the news of the murder reached the sheriff's office 
at Prescott, Munds went to Walnut Grove, where he obtained 
the particulars of the murder and the description of the 
murderer. He then took up the trail and has been closely 
pursuing him ever since. Monge was on foot and the officer 
found several places where he had stopped for water and food.

He had no difficulty in tracing the man to Glendale, but there 
all trace of him was lost.  The sheriff then came on to Phoenix.

Monge has two brothers living in this city and it now transpires 
that they are also missing but it was learned that they 
furnished the pursued man with a horse nad joined him on 
his travels.  It is supposed they are making for Florence 
and rrom there will make an attempt to cross the line into 
Mexico.  The sheriff has gone on to Tucson to head them 
off if possible.
