IMPRESSIONS OF A STRANGER.


To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, N. M, May 2S.-Apropos of
the Chavez murder trial now on the tapis
it might be pertinent to ask, who is really
being tried, the attorney for defendants,
the sheriff, or the four innocent (?) look
ing individuals with long names?-and,
indeed, great deal of the evidence would
tend to show that the first mentioned was
the arch conspirator and that long and
strong effort is being made to defeat the
ends of Justice. The sheriff and district
attorney, by reason OF diligent prosecu-
tion, have come in for their share of
abuse, and this trial and matters previous
and incident thereto, SAVIOR strongly of a
political plot, the Republicans having
gained first blood, with the Democrats
now at the bat.
1t seems strange that your fair city
SO peaceful now-should have been the
seat of such strife and midnight assassin
alton. The reign of terror, which, 40
cording to accounts of your citizens,
prevailed about the time Chavez and
others of your people so quickly passed
away, would furnish material for second
edition of Jesse James.
Then, too, the gentle dove of peace
which has lowered over your community
since the detention and territorial care
of the defendants, would lead a stranger
to think that mayhap you had some of
the proper people shut up, and whatever
would become of us if they were again
turned loose on this unsuspecting COM
munity!
The effort that has been made to turn
this murder trial into political ami
mosities and the evident readiness of
some newspapers elsewhere in the terri
tory to rush into print to the defense of
their leader is to be deplored. The
charges ofcorruption with some founda-
tion) of witnesses and attorneys would
be- ct material for q grand jury, and
much of which has transpired in connec-
ton with this case would not be at all
tolerated in many communities.
To the credit Of the greater number of
your citizens, be it said, that they, regard
less of politics, desire to see Justice
rightfully melted out, and with one &C.
cord deplore the four attempts of cor
ruption which have been undoubtedly
practiced.
OF the testimony, which has been fairly
given in your news columns, it is quite
needless to remark, except perchance, to
commend their cousins, their uncles and
their aunts ON learning and sticking to
their pieces 90 we'll, which same will fur
nish food for thought in future.
We Judge that the territory has been
very generous and your county put to
considerable expense TO give these peo-
pie square chow. Your Judge has been
patient and just in his rulings; your jury
attentive, and the public anxiously scan
ming your columns for the evidence-and
forming their own conclusions, q major
ity of which, as Ok pressed to the writer,
would make interesting reading.
Now that the bone of contention is
about to be dropped IL 10 hoped that We
will not have occasion to write again of
your capitals Disgrace. STRAxasa.

YOU believe that the testimony of such
witnesses or any part of their testimony
is entitled to credit, you may then give
the testimony of such witness or witnesses
such credit as you, in your Judgment,
NAV think it may be entitled to, or you
my disregard the whole or any part OF
the testimony of such witness or wit
nesses which you may think from the evil
dence is not entitled to credit. 1t ia not
the greater number of witnesses which
ought to establish a matter before you,
but it is the greater weight of the evil
dence.
If you believe from the evidence that
any witness, who has testified on this
trial, was an accomplish, or In any way
connected with the killing of Francisco
Chavez, then the evidence of such wit
ness is submitted to you for your con-
sideration with all of the other evidence
in the case, and, if You find that any such
witness was an accomplish in the murder
of the deceased, you may consider his
testimony, compare it with all the other
facts and circumstances, as testified to
by the other witnesses, and given in evil
dence, and give it such credit and weight
as you, in your judgment, may think it
is entitled to.
The defendants are presumed by the
law to be innocent of the crime charged
against them in the indictment. This
presumption remains with them through
out the trial until overcome by proofs
which satisfy your minds beyond rea-
son&ble doubt of their guilt. If you have
reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the
defendants you should acquit them.
| A REASONABLE DOUBT,
however, to authorize you to aoquit the
defendants on that ground must be a
real, clear and substantial doubt, doubt
arising out of the facts and circumstances
in evidence in the case. This doubt to
authorize you to acquit the defendants
must be doubt arising in your minds
after a fair, candid and full consideration
of all of the facts and circumstances In
troduced in evidence in the case. 1t is
not mere superstition or mere POSSIBLE
ity of the defendants innocence.
Under the law the defendants in crimina
cases are made competent witnesses tc
testify in their own behalf and the de-
PENDANTS in this case have each glver
their testimony, but you are instructed
that the fact that such persons are the de
PENDANTS and that they are testifying il
their own behalf may be considered il
determining the credit you will give tt
them and the weight you will attach tx
their testimony in the case.
You are further instructed that yoI
have nothing to do with fixing the punish
ment of the defendants should you fint
them guilty. That is fixed by law ant
given by the court. If you should fin'
the defendants guilty you should say il
your verdict: "We, the jury, find thu
defendants (naming them) guilty a
charged in the indictment"
Should you find the defendants no
guilty you will say in your verdict 1--WE
the jury, find the defendants manning
them) not guilty"

THE STORY oONT1N UED.


Judge Hamilton concluded reading
his charge and confded the cele-
brated case to the jury about 10 O'Clock
last night. In this connection it may
roperly be mentioned that the closing
arguments of counsel consumed time as
follows: H. l.. Ortiz, two hours, W. H.
Pope, three hours, both for the prosecu-
ton; q. A. Spiess, two hours and half,
I. B. Catron, three hours and half for
the defense; District Attorney Crist, clos
Ing for the territory, eight hours and a
half. These addresses, together with the
charge of the judge, which occupied a
half hour, were allinterpreted to the jury
by Mr.. Nestor Montoya, who thus was
on his feet speaking for twenty hours
with only Interruptions for meals and
one nights rest.
At 8 o'clock this morning, when Judge
Hamilton called the jury out to inquire
as to the condition of Luciano Garcia,
the sick juryman, no agreement had been
| reached. In compliance with the advice
of DR.. Lacy the judge then ordered
breakfast aud couch for Garcia, sent
the Jury back to the consultation room
and adjourned the territorial court until
2 p. m.
JUDGE HAMILTON's CHARGE.
Gentlemen of the jury: You have lis
tened with commendable patience to the
evidence offered both by the territory and
by the defendants in this trial and have
heard the arguments Of counsel. 1t now
becomes the duty of the court to give you
the law which shall guide you in your de-
alterations and aid you in reaching con-
clusion in the case. No one is on trial in
this trial but the defendants and you are
instructed to consider the case, weigh all
of the evidence and render your verdict
regardless of Its effect upon other per-
sons not named in the indictment. Some
thing has been said during the course of
the trial as to politics. With that matter,
gentlemen, you have nothing whate yer to
do. Whatever may be the political Aft
liations of these defendants or whatever
may be the political complexion of the
, counsel engaged in the trial or OF the
members composing your own body, is
matter which should not concern you,
and should not in the least enter into
your consideration of this case. You are
sworn to try this case upon the law and
the evidence as they are given to you
| upon the trial. The evidence you take
from the witnesses as they have given it
to you from the stand; the arguments you
receive from counsel, and the law which
ia to guide you in your consideration and
determination of the case you must take
from the court. By these and these only
you are to be guided in reaching con-
clueion as to the guilt or innocence of
these defendants.
The defendants stand charged in the
Indictment with having, on the 10Th day
of May, in the year OF Our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-two.
at the county of Santa Fe, in the territory
of New Mexico, feloniously, unlawfully
willfully, purposey and with express mall
| ice aforethought, killed and murdered the
deceased, Francisco Chavez.

pathetic one, expressing desire to sec

him to tell his mother that he "would be
good" Bill sent the message to the In

from Pennington, the old squsw, how

He BREATHES EASIER.
INDICTMENTS AGAINST CHARLES
A. HAWKS ARE QUASHED.
COUNTY ATTORNEY BUTLER
Enters Motion to Dismiss the
Proceedings and 1t Is Granted
Evans Also Free.

Charles A. Hawks, the man, who has
figured SO many times in the criminal
court on charges of embezzlement
brought by the officers of the defunct
Seven Corners bank, of which Hawks
was cashier, and the Nickel Savings
bank, of which he was a director, can
sleep in peace once more. He will
never need to worry any more over
the question of his prosecution, for
the matter has been dropped for good.
On motion of County Attorney Butler,
Judge Kelly yesterday granted a nolIe
prosequi in all three of the cases
pending aginst him. The case against
w. B. Evans, who was indicted with
Hawks on one count, was disposed of
IN the same way.
1t was charged that Hawks had en-
bezzled $4,000 from the bank, though
$4,000 was all the county attorney
thought he could be convicted of hav-
ing taken. There were two indictments
against him for this, and another in
dictment for 800. it was claimed he
had extracted from the deposit of
Mlchael Fuerst. Hawks was tried
three times, but the jury disagreed
every time. He was tried once on one
OF the first two indictments and twice
on the indictment with reference to
the 500 transaction. On every trial
the jury was about equally divided.
county Attorney Butler therefore con-
GUIDED there was no hope of convict
ing him, and decided to have the cases
dropped, Judge Egan and Judge Kelly
both on the bench. hearing the mo-
ton. The reason for this was that
Kelly was the judge before whom
Hawks was tried. and Judge Egan
now occupies the bench in the GRIM
fnal department.

DEPARTMENT CONSTITUTES
The Decision as Applying
Only to the Rent Derived

1t is evident from instructions Col
lector of Internal Revenue Harries
received yesterday from Commits
sioner j. S. Miller at Washington city
that serious complications are going
to arise over the collection of the in
come tax in view of the decision Of
the supreme court eXempting in
comes received FROM rent from the
provisions of the law. The depart
nent CONSTITUTES this as applying
only to ground rent and not to rent
derived from personal property. But
by what course Of reasoning the dis
tlnct1on can be made does not appear
quite clear to a layman. Following
this is the language of the telegram
received by Capt. Harries convey
ing the Instructions:
Require all persons in making re-
turns in future to show clearly that
rents included and deducted were re-
eeived only from real estate, and in
clude nothing whatever paid for rent

turns, you will keep your office open
