Arizona Supreme Court October 24, 1885, Civil No. 149 (Tidball v. Williams)

HOWARD, C. J.

The only questions presented by the record in this case were:

First.—Is the United States marshal justified in making the arrest of a defendant, within his territory, who is described in-the warrant by a fictitious name? We hold that he is, and that the marshal assumes only the risk and responsibility, in execution of such a warrant, of arresting the right man.
