owB news upon which Others were moro able to

William H. Forester and Francis
NJ, Forester living near Albany,
were brought here Tuesday under ar
rest, charged with the murder OF VIM.
II. Forester Jr., the men being the
father and uncle of the boy who was
but nine years old and cripple. The
circumstances of the case as learned
are, that the boy had step mother,
and to avoid trouble the father
brought the boy up from Kansas to
reside with his uncle on farm near
Albany. The 6rst of April the father
went to Texas after some horses, the
twenty-fourth of April the uncle
claims the boy strayed away from
home and that he searched for him
bat could not find him, the fourth of
May the father returned and on the
sth the boy was found dead num-
Der of miles from home. A coroner's
inquest was held at Wilde and q
postmortim examination was held
by DR.. Dickinson of Wilde and DR..
Hasty Of this city, the examination
showed that there was not a particle
of food in the stomach and it was
| their opinion the child died from
starvation, the coroner held the father
and uncle and they were brought
here as stated by an officer. The ex-
animation was called before Justice
Blodgett, A. NJ. Nicholas prosecuting
and o. G. Hess for the defence, not
satisfied with the complaint, Mr..
| Nicholas swore out new complaint
| when the prisoners were committed
to Jail without bail to await hear
ing, which will take place the 25th.
Sheriff Blllow took the prisoners to
Las Animas Tuesday night for safe
keeping.
There has alresdy been published
and much been said of damaging
nature in connection with this case,
what the facts are no doubt will be
brought out on the examination as
the attorneys on both sides will con-
test every inch of testimony and are
well-known for their ability in such
cases. The case created agreat deal
of excitement about Albany and a
good deal of interest here, there will
be large number of witnesses at
the preliminary trial, as the evidence
at this time Is only circumstantial.
