A PARAMOUR KILLED
SANTIAGo MARTINEZ SHOT BY
HIS NAMESAKE
WAS CAUGHT ONCE TOO OFTEN
The Husband Was Fired at Twice and
Then Emptied His Shotgun in
His Cousins Stomach

POMONA, July ga tragedy occurred
early this morning at Lemon, ten miles
west of this city. Santiago A. Martinez
shot and killed his counsin, Santiago Lo'
carlo Martinez. 1t seems that the shoot
ing was done in self-defense. From an In
terview that your correspondent had with
the survivor, who drove to Pomona after
the tragedy and surrendered himself to the
officers, it appears that about 4:3O this
morning he heard noise in the adjoining
room, and called out: "Whd is there?"
At the same time he secured his shot
gun. In an instant he was shot at twice.
both bullets passing dangerously near his
head. He then fired the shotgun in the
direction whence the shots came, and,
following up this fusillade with three shots
from revolver, killed the intruder in
stantly.
Constable Slanker, to whom the murderer
surrendered, was the first person to reach
the scene after the tragedy. He found the
dead man lying doubled up in wood box
by the kitchen stove, where he had fallen,
and revolver, with two chambers empty

from the gun had hit him squarely in the
stomach. causing instant death.
Domestic troubles are al 1.-THE bottom Of the
affair. and, as is usually the case, woman
10 the cause of the tragedy.
1t appears that young cousin, "a years
Of age. had taken up his abode with 8. A.
Martinez's wife during his absence at work
at Los Alamitos. The husband returned
rather Unexpectedly on the night Of June
Path. and found, on approaching the house,
unmistakable signs of the presence of the
young paramour. His boots were on the
porch. Not being armed, he decided to
knock boldly at the door and take his
chances In a rough and tumble fight. He
met his man In the kitchen, and a lively
encounter followed, the youthful intruder
soon retreating. The next day the hus-
band swore out warrant against him and
had him arrested for disturbing the peace.
this being as far the actual evidence In
the case would permit the charge to go.
The young Lothario was convicted and
sentenced to twenty days and to pay fine
OF $25 Through habeas corpus proceedings
he managed to get out Of jail in few days.
Whether the young fellow was seeking
revenge for this, or believed the husband
to be again absent is not known.
The prisoner says that since the first
unpleasantness he has been endeavoring to
sell his property and move his wife and
children away, in the hopes of preventing
further infidelity on her part.
A coroners jury this afternoon found
that the husbands action was justifiable
homicide.
