 Mrs. H. H. Carter Tuesday received a letter from Mayaguez, Porto Rico, conveying the sad intelligence of the death in that city On the 4th of this month of Frank s. Neptune of Pres colt, from ualarial fever.

 express car. The charge on which they
 wsre acquitted was violating the postal | laws. These same parties were tried
 at Silver City last spring on the charge

 ! The Orb Saturday makes sta5a-
 ment which should be corrected as the | information our contemporary recelV- | ed was erroneous and the item works an injustice upon the accused. It is in
 effect that Frances COnyers, who is
 under indictment charged with the
 murder of her husband, had made a
 statement in court through her attor- ney of willingness to plead guilty to
 2 charge of marslaughter. Such a
 statement was never made. Attorney Land in court did speak of manslaugh-
 ter in case of Mexican and his wife
 who are under indictment for murder, and the Orb informant evidently got
 matters confused and thought the Con-
 yers case was under consideration. We explain the circumstances to set mat ters aright, for Frances Conyers has plead not guilty and still maintains her innocence, many good citizens bellev- ing her guiltless. She is at present out
 under bond and her case will be trleo at the November term of cOurt-Pros-
