FOUR MURDERERS RESPITED.
President Mckinley Wants Time Il
investigate Their Cases.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-The President
this morning granted a respite for ten days
to the Barregos, who were TO have been
hanged to-day for the murder of Frank
Chaves, a New Mexican sheriff. The re-
spite was granted TO Francisco GONZALES Y
Barrago, Antonio Gonzales Barrego. Lauri-
ano Alorio and Patricia Valencia. The men
were sentenced to be hanged Feb. % last,
but President Cleveland respited them for
one month in order to examine the case.
subsequently he decided that the men were
properly convicted, refused to interfere
further and declared that the sentence must
be carried out to-day. President Mckinley
has been under great pressure to reverse
the decision of his predecessor within the
past few days. On the other hand, a num-
Der of kilograms and letters have been re-
ceived from persons who urged the eZecu-
ton of the death sentence. In this state
of the matter the President decided that no
harm could result from a stay for ten days
in order to afford himself an opportunity
to look into the papers in detail; hence the
order was made and promptly telegraphed
TO the proper officials at Santa Fe. Attor-
ney General McKenna. in speaking of the
matter. said that in the rush of business
incident to the new administration the ex-
ecutive authorities had not had time to look
into the case, and therefore reSpited the
men.
