THE ARAGON CASE.

The trial of Nicolas Aragon, the
murderer of poor Jasper Corn and
Johnny Hurley, two of the bravest
and best boys that ever breathed,
was set for last Thursday. The pro-
secution were confident that a fair
and impartial trial could not be had
in Las Vegas, as Aragon has scores
of relatives in the county and they
were doing everything to have him
cleared. They stated their beliefs to
Judge Axtell, who decided in their
behalf, and the case was removed to
Santa Fe, and will be tried in July.
Aragon's wife had raised about
two hundred dollars for lawyers fees
among the MeXicans of Las Vegas
and had procured three lawyers to
try and save her miserable husbands
neck. These lawyers stopped to the
dirtest and vilest means Imaginable
to try to prejudice the court and
bystandors against the officers OF
this county, even bringing up the
name of the dead to carry out their
end. But thanks to the good sense
of the Judge and prosecution, the
dirty trick was nippcd in the bud.
If Aragon, when tried, should es.
cape with few years in the peniten.
tiary, why need the people complain
when mob violence is used in hang.
