LAS CRUCES, N. Mex. Mar. 13, 1899
Oliver Lee and James Gilliland came
in on the passenger train from the
north this morning and surrendered tc
Judge Parker. Sheriff Garrett was on
the same train coming from Las Vegas.
but did not know they were
aboard and did not recognize them
when he passed them so Lee and Gill
liland say. They wired Judge Parker
from Rincon that they would surrend-
! er to him and took the train from
there. They wore full beard and
old clothes and many who
had known them for years
did not recognize them when they met
It is supposed they will be brought
into court this afternoon for arraigr-
ment. They are now under the guard
a of Eugene Rhodes and Jas. Simpson,
their friends who came in with them.
Captain J. r. Hughes, who came
down on the Santa Fe this morning
with a prisoner, says Lee and Gilllland
did not get on at Rincon but at a sta
tion above.
His attentio was occupied with his
prisoner, whom he had chained in the
front compartment of the car and he
did not know that Lee and Gilliland
were aboard until Las Cruces WAS
reached and they surrendered to Judge
Parker.
The news spread rapidly In this city
this morning and created considerable
interest. 1t was the general topic of
conversation on the curbstones.
Lee has many personal friends here
who knew that he intended to surren-
der as soon as satisfactory arrange
ments could be made. He had announce
ed that he would never surrender to |
Sheriff Garrett Negotiations were |
opened with Governor Otero soon after
the creation of the new county and Lee
and Gillilaud then proposed to come in |
and give themselves up as soon as it
was arranged for them to surrender to
some other official than Pat Garrett.
1t was also agreed that they would be
.allowed to make bond without neces-
sary delay. Bondsmen have already
signifed their inten tion of signing the
papers and it will be only short time
until the bond is made.
The prisoners, it is understood, will
be confined in Jail at Socorro and not
at Las Cruces.
J. A. Baird, of this city, leaves to-
night for Las Cruces. He is particu-
lar friend of Lees.
Lee and Gilliland, it is reported
here, were at the home of Lees sister,
Mrs. Graham at Rincon, before taking
the train this morning. They have
been in New Mexico ever since war
rants were issued for their arrest and
have made no effort to escape They
contended that they feared to surrend
er to Pat Garrett, saying that he in
tended killing them and even if they
escaped death that they had no inten-
tion of going to Jail without bond
In addition 10 the murder OF Col
Fountain and his son Lee and Gill;
land are charged with killing Deputy
Sheriff Kearney last fell, who was a
member of Garrett's posse which sur s
rounded the fugitives on housetop l
