Their Verdict.

Many are the stories told of the re-
markable verdicts brought in by ineh-
cient juries, but there could scarcely be
a better illustration of what a certain
legal man calls colossal inefficiency"
than the story he tells of the verdict
given by a jury in western city. The
case under trial was that of man who
accidentally, as almost every one be-
lieved-had fatally shot friend while
the two were off with hunting party.
The accused person was prominent
citizen of the place and was greatly be-
loved as well as respected by every one
who knew him.
As the trial proceeded the faces of
the jurymen were filed with anxiety.
When they at last retired, it became ev-
ident to them that the prisoner could
not be acquitted of all blame, according
to the evidence, but they decided that
if he must be considered guilty of some
thing they would make that something
as light as possible. Accordingly the
foreman gravely announced on the re-
turn to the courtroom that they found
the prisoner guilty of drunkenness. :"
In spite of the gravity of the case
ripple OF amusement ran over the court
room at this verdict The judge, with
considerable severity and with great
clearness, again charged the jury and
again they retired.
A long interval elapsed At last they
came struggling in again Once more
the foreman confronted the judge and
thus announced the verdict:

The Ration Range gets up aud not only
figuratively but literally bowls because
Anew County Voorhees, has been counted
out of the next council, and commenting
on what We have previously said on this
subject, the Range says:
snow as matter of law, about which
the editor of the Stockman knows so
much, when the commissioners canvassed
the vote, at that time, according to law,
their functions for that specific purpose
ceased, and there ia no law by which they
can change the result. The clerk of Mora
county officially certified as above Chat
Mora gave Abeytia seventy majority to
Colfax county, when his functions ceased,
and he had no authority to make another
certificate two weeks later"
The conflict of certificates Is fully ex-
planned in the proceedings of the board
of county commissioners, which we pub
lish this week.
FROM this it appears that the clerk and
chairman of the Mora board executed a
certificate and filed it with the territorial
secretary showing the total vote to
give Abeytia majority of seventy, while
a foot-note, which was part of the GER
tifcate, explained that the vote legally
entitled to be canvassed placed Abeytia's
majority at 106.
In the next certificate issued by the
Mora board it appears the explanatory
foot-note was omitted, and in the last
certificate issued they rectify their for
mer omission and certify that Abeytia's
legal majority was LOG.
| We do not claim to be the ultimate
authority on the technicalities of election

was or not does not enter into the dis
cussion 80 for as the Cola < board is con-
cerned. 1t was evident that Mora board
intended Colfax county to recognize the
106 mai ritv, and our board would have
been going behind the returns, which we
agree with the Range they had no right
to do, and they attempted to adjudicate
discrepancy between the final certificate
and the former one which the Mora board
had declared erroneous.

biased statement, it will acknowledge that

A JUDICIAL CHANGE.

Judge A. A. Freeman retires from the
New Mexico bench carrying with him the
respect and esteem of the people of the
territory generally. There has been some
complaints Of his course of late in the 5th
judicial district, but the New MEXICAN
can not believe them merited, for it APP
pears that, in the opinion of the judge,
the grand jur.es had failed to follow their
plain path of duty and the court sum.
moned them promptly and told them
what he thought about it. Wherever the
lot of Judge Freeman is cast in future
the New MEXICAN is sure the masses OF
this people of New Mexico will not let
political bias prevent them from wishing
him all possible prosperity.
Two very excellent gentlemen were
actively in the field as Judge Freeman's
successor. These we're Hon. John Y
Hewitt, of White Oaks, and Hon. H. B
Hamilton, of Socorro. Each had his
most ardent supporters among good
Democrats, and it is no sort of reflection
upon Judge Hewitt that he should have
been defeated in the race by man &C
we'll qualified for the position as Judge
Hamilton.
Judge Hamilton is an old and honoreC
resident of central New Mexico; most
capable man, we'll grounded in the law
and he will make the people of the 5tl
judicial district as we'll as the people o
the territory at large an upright, homes
judicial officer.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Hear the socorro Advertiser


The trouble is that the New MEXICAN
appears to be afraid of hurting some
ones corns and does not publish facts
and figures. The weekly newspapers Of
the territory must look to the daily at
the capital for news of that nature, and,
in case Of failure to get it from that
source, must guess at it. For awhile it
looked very much like a Republican
lower house, but, owing to the late deci-
s1ons of the courts, it now looks different
ly. The Advertiser simply wants the
men elected to take their seats, whether
Republicans or Democrats, and if the
mojority are Democrats, 80 much the
better, but if the NEW MEXICAN would

THE Citizen ought to try and fall over

New MEXICAN rejects the idea of seating
the legally elected members of the terri

1t is the legally elected members
that the New MEXICAN most desires
to have seated. We may here add that
this is a proposition that all New Mexico

As the Eagle Screams.

Those who want statehood for New
Mexico, and we believe they are the ma
jorlty of the better element of the terri
tory, should unite in urging the matter
upon the senate and get Joseph's bill
through during the short session. Whether
the Republicans are unfriendlv or other
wise to statehood, the bill is liable to
remain pigeon-holed if it is not disposed
of before March 4. The complexion of
congress changes then and other business
is likely to cause it to be lost sight Of
es peclallv as 1t is not Republican meas
ure. Let pressure be brought all along
the line. Statehood may give US a few
additional burdens, but these will certain

A REGULAR THING.
Election Commissioners
RetOrt Cordial.
How Guardians of the Polls Are
Evolved-The Registrar
Still There.

The customary exciting little seance
held daily by The Election Commissioners
took place at promptly 2 O'Clock yesterday,
two large and athletic policemen standing
guard at the door in order that the COM
mission might have all the room necessary
in which to perform.
Mr.. Evans, the Registrar, had another
list OF "Rep ublcans" which had been
given to him ''by the Republican party, :"
he said, with the request that he use his
influence to have the men named on it ap-
pointed election officers.
Mayor Ebert repeated the little lecture
about the commission doing the appoint
ing. and which he now knows by heart
Mr.. Evans SAID the eXigency presented
was nothing less than crisis and was
enough 10 explain his anxiety in getting
good Republicans on the board of election
officers, where Republicans ought to be.
The commission, he said, was liable to
make grave mistakes. and he thought the
names presented by reliable Repu blicaus
should be accepted. Many names being
presented as Republicans, he said, were
in fact. Democrats, and very few boards
of elections that were made up of three
Democrats and no Republicans would
throw the coming election their way.
The Mayor here raped Justify for order,
and said the commission had no time to
listen to arguments.
Auditor Frederick took immediate ad-
vantage of The quiet spell to make his Gus
tomary caustic reference To the "uGwar-
ranled Interference by the Registrar with
the duties of the commission"
A more mld-mannered representative
of TIE Republican party was given a hear
ing, the Mayor remarking that he thought
the Registrar should like the commission
to be for the whole people and not the es-
pecial champion If any party.
Tax Collector Block now flashed list of
his own, which b. submitted for immedi-
ale acceptance. To this the Mayor OBJ
jected.
''But you said you would vote for these
nominees of mine," said Mr.. Block.
II don't know that L did," said the
Mayor.
"Why, certainly you did," retorted
Block. warmly.
"Wby, did not" said the Mayor.
"But you did," cried Block.
81 say did not" said the Mayor.
"You certainly did, ana if you go back
on your pr mi that lets me out of it all, -
said the Tax Collector vehemently, slam
ming his long list of names upon the bile.
The Mayor grew very pale and did not
reply for an instant, and then he said very
quietly, LET me see your list"
But Mr.. Block was mad and excited and
held tightly to the roll of paper. .'You
can't make ANYTHING out Of this list he
said when the Mayor had repeated his re-
Quest three times. '.There are Democrats
and Republicans run together here" but
he finally called off the names of the half
dozen III whom he was particularly in
terested and SO kept his list to himself
large number of names were sub
mitted by both parties, all of whom will
be carefully looked up and possibly some
OF them may eventually become election
officers.
The only other business transacted by
the commission was the letting of a con-
tract for new tin ballot-box, which is
supposed to be slight Improvement upon
the OLD style.
The morning call., 1894-10-05

sprang up with a mixed expression OF sur
prise and pleasure upon his countenance.
The suddenness nf the attempt to thrust
hOnors upon him caused the surprise, and
the knowledge of his popularity as dele
gate caused the glow of pleasure.
81 thank you gentlemen, but -
Second the nomination" cried Frank j.
Sullivan. "Mr. Sachs will make the best
Supervisor we could have for the Eighth
Ward"
Mr.. Whiting also had good word for
Mr.. Sachs, who he did not think should
be allowed to retire. Mr.. Sachs struggled
with his cigar and his emoarrass meut as
the effort was made to thrust him into
official prominence. and at last managed TO
say that he could not accept the nomns-
ton. He wanted to see G. l.. Taylor nOml-
mated. Notwithstanding Mr.. Sachs an
uouncement he received three votes. The
result Of the balloting was as follows: G.
l.. Taylor, So; s. ii. Kent, s.; A. Koenig,
2; Lipman Sachs, B; P. Boland, g.
The Ninth Ward was then called, the
choice of the committee being ID. c. NJ.
Goodsell first and Herman Goeeken.
M. Goodsell, and referred TO him as an
honest man and capable. Thomas Magee
seconded the remarks of Mr.. Sullivan.

convention that 1t might cast about for
years but could not possibly select bet
ter man than GOodsell.
The latter appeared to have walkover,
for when ballot was taken GOodsell re-
ceiyed As votes out of the 40 cast, Thomas
Magee receiving the remaining one.
Goecken was overlooked entireiy. Mr..
Magee moved TO make the nomin alton
unanimous, and this action was accord
ingly taken.
The morning call., 1894-10-05

in the First Ward-John NJ. Klein and
Joseph King.
Delegate Truman said he understood
that Mr.. Klein did not live In the ward
which he aspired to represent as Super
visor.
Rev. A. C. Hirst registered a hearty pro-
test against Joe King, the hotel-keeper
politician of the ward, VINO has been
chosen by the Republican convention as a
nominee. He therefore desired to place
Edward Holland in nomination for the
position.
joseph Britain said that two years be-
fore Holland had been identified with the
Kelly and Crimmins movement, and he
did not think it would be we'll for the con-
vention to take him up as a candidate.
The convention then proceeded 10 ballot
fGT Supervisor of the First Ward. The
result showed that Joe King was not
looked upon with even the slightest de-
gree of favor. He only received one vote
In all 40 votes were cast, and j. M. Klein

owner. This recommendation was warmly
Endorsed by several other delegates, and

chair ruled him out of order under the
platform.
Delegate Truman moved that the rules
be suspended and the seven rece wing the
highest number of votes be declared the
nominees. Delegate lie Breton amended
that the seven receiving the highest num-
Der of votes be SO declared elected on the
condition that no ballot should be counted
on which less than seven names had been
voted for.
There was some objection to this, but
Delegate Cumming, who acted as one OF
the tellers, stated that on any number of
the ballots jus: counted the friends of
Hyde had vo;ed for him aud him only. He
said it was p trick and he didn't want any
tricks in the convention.
Delegate Bradford was very greatly ex-
cited as he jumped TO his feet. He said
that when Mr.. lie Breton had made the
amendment he evidently forgot he was in
merica. AS for himself he had the right
10 vote for whom and as many as he
pleased, and he didn't propose to vote for
any more
MIR. LIE Breton said he had not forgotten
that he was in America, but he did know
he was in a convention of sixty in elllgent
men, and he knew also that it was the
rule in conventions that where the ajoritv
declared in favor Of a regulation the whole
was bound by it.
Mr.. LIE Breton's amendment was then
put and carried. and the convention pro-
ceeded TO vote.
Delegate Bradford made himself quite
new" with the tellers while they were
counting the vote. In one instance he
accused Delegate Donovan OF reading a
name not on the ticket. He persisted
loudly, Notwithstanding it was shown to
him plainly written on the ballot. Dele
gate Donovan got somewhat warm and ac-
eused Bradford of disappearing him.
The latter waved his arms and worked mis-
