RORREGO GANG
To HANG TO-DAY
No Further Respite for the
Four New Mexico
AsSassinS.
In Tears They Hear Their
Doom Pronounced and Seek
Relief in Prayer.
Extraordinary Precautions Are Taken
to Circumvent Any Attempt
at Rescue.

SANTA FE, n. MEX, April 1.-For the
first time during their long confinement
the Borrego assassins relinquished all
hope of clemency at noon to-day, when
Sheriff Kinsell read to them copy OF At
torney General McKenna's message to
Governor Thornton announcing the Presi-
dents decision of no further interference.
Pale and trembling and in tears the
doomed men took to their prayer-booGs.
At 8 o'clock the Sheriff admitted to the
large cell occupied by the prisoners their
wives and children and a few near reia-
tives. and for two hours the trying ordeal
of saying farewell continued. This is the
third time these women and children have
gone through this sad conference.
The prisoners have been in custody
since January. 1894, have been thrice SEN
fenced and twice their sentences have
been commuted. They will be executed
at o'clock tomorrow in the Jail yard in
the presence of about twenty witnesses.
The scaffold, which has been covered with
canvas to obstruct the views of the curl
ons who may mount the fat roofs of the
adjacent houses, is within thirty feet of
the cell they now occupy.
To circumvent any attempt at rescue
the militia is on guard tonight, and the
Governor has ordered both the cavalry
troops and the infantry TO report to
Sheriff Kinsell for duty al A. N. to-
morrow.
The decision of President Mckinley is
received with much satisfaction among
supporters of law and order in the Terri
tory, and taken in connection with the
previous findings of the Supreme Court
and Mr.. Cleveland has served to remove
all, possible political taint from the case
and. will have saIutary effect upon the
lawless element.
Frank Borrego told his wife that he had
made peace with his God and all mankind
and was prepared to die with his lips
sealed as 10 all he knew of the crime. He
had prepared q written statement TO
be read from the scaffoid, but
decided 10 destroy it, as its
less prominent in public life, and he did
not wish to leave the 800 kinsmen of him
self and associates any pretext for resort
ing to vengeance in future upon those he
would necessarily have to name.
Borrego also directed his wife as to the
care of his body and that of his brother,
Antonio, and his kinsman, Lauriano
Alarid. He said they were to be taken
home and Kept side by side till Sunday
morning next, when they must be buried
in the clothing in which they were exc
cuted and In cotfins furnished by the
county.
!. The. fourth. convict, Patricio Valencia,
part Indian, displayed the least feeling OF
all. He is the smoothest criminal in the
lot, and aside from his part in the assassi3
nation of exSherih Chavez is said 10 have
killed and robbed two men in the streets
here in 1886 anc 1888, and also made a
criminal assault upon young woman,
for all of which crimes he escaped PR
cution.

SECTION 1. Section So OF the Code OF Civil
Procedure OF the State of California Is hereDy,

Sec. 53. The Supreme Court may affirm, re-

ment CT order TO be entered, or direct new
trial or further proceedings to be had. Ii the
judgment order he affirmed in part. and
direct further proceedings TO be had as
TO the part lot affirmed, separate

IN the lover court as TO that part
which may be forthwith enforced as a final
judgment, without rejudice 10 the rights OF
the parties TO proceed iurther with the case as
provided by the Judgment Of the supreme

given in writing, and, in giving It's decision,
II a new trial be granted, the court snail pass
upon and determine all the questions OF law

peal and necessary TO the final determination
OF the case; its judgment in appeal eases SHAH
be remiited TO the court from which the ap-
peal was taken.
Sec 2 This act shall lake effect from and
after its passage.
Judge Dibbie surprised the House by
announcing that this bill applied 10 the
Hale Il NoTcross case against Hayward,
now pending on appeal in the Supreme
Court. where tie company had separate
judgment for S203, 600, and desired the
passage OF this bill so that an execution
could be issued against the defendants.
He moved an amendment, which was
adopted, adding the following 10 the bill:
Provided that this act shall not apply to any
action now pending.
Mr.. Baggett felt no further interest in
the bill after that, and IL was allowed to
die.
Reference is now made in this matter
10 show that The Examiner made no al
tack on this attempt to fit q case it and its
attorney are interested in. 1t must be
remem bered that Mr.. Baggett appeared
for the Examiner before the Judiciary
Committee of the House against the
Bridgford bill, while he was at the same
time working for bill 100.
In all seriousness it looks as though an
attack was made on 273 so as 10 rush
through 700 in the excitement caused by
the unwarfanted charges made by the
Examiner. Two hundred and seventy
three could only apply 20 the Hale &
Norcross suit On two events happening
first. reversal of the Judgment by the
Supreme Court; and second, that Ju ige
Hebbard is biased or rejudiced against
Hayward, while 700 applied directly and
specifically to that suit in favor of the
Hale Il Norcross Company.

HIGH PRICE FOR CIGARS.

Neither Representative Spencer nor his
proposition to buy Cuba for $500, 600, 900,
are TO be unkindly criticised while sin
gle pencil stub remains to The Times.
We may doubt the prcpriety of taxing
the already overburdened people of the
United states TO the extent proposed. We
may think that, in case we require q
slice OF the Antilles, it might be better
10 buy the Danish islands, which, it is
understood, we could get for about six
millions; and we might even see some OBJ
lection to the project, in that it would
seem TO make our first crop of Havana
cigars cost about five dollars apiece: but,
in another and more important respect,
Mr.. Spencer's idea is appropriate and ad-
mrable.
In presenting it to an appreciative and
grateful country, he shows masterful abil-
ity TO grasp the logic and the advanced
ideals OF the impending situation. Ev-
erybody knows that a high tariff Repub-

when the time comes, a little matter of
5000, 600, 900 hardly will be noticed. He
rises TO the possibility and to the dignity
of the occasion. He is aware that any
thing the Republican party wants, and
cannot steal, it always buys.
