for the Chavez Murderers.

There was another murder in Santa Fe
last night. The victim was Juan Pablo
Dominguez, formerly county jailor under
the late Frank Chavez administration as
sheriff. The killing was the result OF
street fight which occurred on Cathedral
street at dusk, about $40 o'clock. At
this hour four pistol shots were heard.
Coming 80 soon after the Chavez killing
many people who heard the shots and
realized the strain of excitement that had
prevailed among certain classes since
Sunday nights tragedy, instinctively
jumped at the conclusion that another
crime had been committed to blacken the
good name of the community, and
quickly people started rushing through
the streets toward the direction from
whence came the report of the fire arms.
1t was not long before the worst surmises
of the excited populace were verified.
The majesty of the law had again been
tramped under foot. Another human
life had been sacrificed; and for what-was
it revenge?
THE TRAGEDY.
The scene of this last crime was on
Cathedral street, few feet beyond the
entrance to the Archbishops residence.
Among the first TO reach the scene after
hearing the explosion of the weapons
were Ireno Chaves, Stephen Easton, G..
M. Dreamer and Archbishop Salpointe.
They found Pablo Dominguez lying on
his back, near the middle of the street,
with four bullet wounds in his body,
either one OF which was sufficient to cause
death. Mr.. ChGves and Mr.. Easton
were the first to reach the body, and a
moment later came the archbishop.
They could not at first identify the de-
ceased, The archbishop felt of his pulse
and found the man practically dead. He
called to him twice but received no re-
Spouse. Two minutes later the faint pulse
ceased to beat.
Immediately a great crowd gathered,
and the city marshal
TOOK CHARGE OF TIE BODY,
while deputies were sent in search Of
Hipolito Vigil, the justice of the peace i'll
the Sd precinct. Vigil could nowhere be
found. After an hour and quarter, the
marshal, failing to locate Justice Vigil, sent
for Justice Lucero of the 4th precinct and
insisted that he take charge of the body as
coroner. Having the Chavez inquest yet
in hand, Justice LuCero protested that the
crime was not in his precinct, but he
finally took up the matter and empan-
neled coroner's jury as follows: Henry
Becker, Estaneslado Garcia, j. &. Gurule,
Dionaco Lobato, Francisco Rivera y San
doval.
The body was removed from its pool
of blood in the street to the home of the
dead man, Manhattan avenue, nearly
opposite Mr.. Marsh's, and there post
norton investigation took place in the
presence of the jurors.
THE WOUNDS.
This examination revealed the fact that
there were four wounds on the body, two
of which had evidently been caused by
the same ball. One bullet entered the
nit of the stomach and probably lodged
against the spinal column; near the lett
nipple was another wound that was longer
and larger than the others and led some
who saw it to think that it had been in.
flicted by stab, but it also is probably a
bullet wound. The third ball entered the
right side two inches below the nipple
and passed straight through the fore part
of chest coming out on the left side just
below the nipple. From the location of
the wounds it is difficult to judge which
of the fatal shots was fired first, though
il seems probable that the breast wound
which penetrated the body from the right
side was the first one, and that the third
was fred into the pit Of the stomach after
the man had fallen to the ground.
