Collins is a young man of good family, and recently lived in Cananea, where he has an uncle.
He arrived in Douglas day before yesterday, after having been paroled from the jail at Tombstone.
Soon after his arrival here he commenced drinking, passing the checks at different places on the Merchant's Bank & Trust Co., of Bisbee, always for an amount which gave him some change.
Six checks were thus passed.
