fetal Notes.

| On yesterday the governor granted ful
and complete pardon to Julian Trujillo
who was under indictment for the murder
of Gabriel Sandoval, of San Miguel coun
| ty, in consideration of the fact that he had
/ rendered valuable services to the terri
tory in aiding in the discovering of many
other crimes and that he was needed as
witness in San Miguel county in such
cases. The pardon was granted at the
request of Chief Justice Smith and the
district attorney of the 4th judicial dis
trict.
In connection with the above action
the following comin,. to Gov. Thornton
| from Las Vegas unaer date of May -,
inst, is interesting:
| "* The public interest requires
that this result should be reached if pos
sible, and nothing will make it certain
but the evidence of Trujlllo. An execu-
tion of this man Chavez will have tend
ency to hold in check the lawless classes,
and something is due to Truiillo beside.
write to ask You to at once pardon
Julian Trujillo of all crimes of which the
record shows him to have been guilty, so
the territory may use him rs witness on
the trial of TIE case against Chavez.
think your action in that respect would
be entirely iustiiiable.' V. Long, dis
trict attorney.
"T-ujillo's evidence has contributed to
the conviction of one of the subordinate
accompllces, and is essential to the es-
tablishment beyond doubt of the guilt of
the associate principal. 1t
would seem an obligation to the public
to restore his citizenship, especially to
utilize him to relieve the county of
depraved and dangerous desperado.--
Thomas Smith, chief justice.
The impression that Porfirio Trujillo
has been pardoned is erroneous.
