the tucson court issued arrest warrants for wyatt earp, warren earp, doc holliday, jack johnson, and sherman mcmaster. on may 16, 1882, the sheriff of arapahoe county, colorado notified cochise county sheriff johnny behan that he had wyatt and warren earp in his custody, along with doc holliday. behan applied to the governor for money to go to colorado to bring the earps back, but governor fremont instead gave the funds to pima county sheriff bob paul. paul had received word on the same day from denver that the sheriff there had five of the earp party in custody. when paul arrived in denver, he served a warrant for doc holliday's arrest on charges that he killed frank stilwell in tucson. wyatt earp, also in denver, feared for holliday's life if he was returned to tombstone. he asked his friend in trinidad, colorado, sheriff bat masterson, to help get holliday released. sheriff masterson appealed to governor frederick w. pitkin and succeeded in getting holliday released from jail. paul knew of warrants for the earps' arrest, but he was a friend of the men and never served the warrants.
