A Mexican Suiting the Description Of a
New Mexico Murderer.
On the 9th day of last November a IA
year-old girl named Lula Werney was
raped and murdered about thirty-hye
miles from Silver City by a Mexican goat
herder named AmbrosiO Mendoza. The
girl was foolishly sent out by her parents
with the herder to help him spread poison
for providing coyotes. He was no sooner
out OF hearing than he consummated his
devilish purpose.
The officers were Immediately notified
OF the crime, and a description Of the
herder was sent out by Sheriff McAfee,
OF Grant county. About six days ago a
Mexican arrived in this city from Flag
staff, Arizona. He became friendly with
other Mexicans in the city, and they say
he told them that he had raped and muir
dered an American girl in New Mexico
who went out on the range with him.
The Mexicans Immediately notified the
officers here and the fellow was arrested.
He gave his name a. Jose Martinez, but
denied ever telling the other Mexicans
the story they told on him. He says he
was never near Silver City, and knows
nothing about the crime he il charged
with having committed. He has a rail-
road check with him that shows he went
to work for the railroad company at Flag
staff on December 2, and worked until
the 10Th. However, he suits the descrip-
tiOn sent out by Sheriff McAfee 10 a dot
