GERONIMO PARA
WILL HANG
The Supreme Court Of Grim
ina| Appeals Has Af-
frmed the Decision
FUSSELMAN'S MURDERER
Will In All prObd bility Be Swung
Into Eternity From the Interior
of the County Jail In This
City.

Geronimo Para, the murderer of
Ranger Fusselmxn, is doomed to hang

that the court, of crimi-
nal appeals, to which defendant
cision of the lower court. II only
remains for Judge Walthall to pass
sentence of death upon the prisoner
and fix the date of the execution. The
sheriff Or one of his deputies will 90
the rest.
Geronimo Para was for many years
wanted by the authorities of this coun-
ty for the murder of Ranger Fussel-
man near Mount Franklin. He was
finally located in the San Antonio
penitentiary and delivered to Captain
Hughes who brought the prisoner to
Ell PasO where he was tried and con-
victed of murder and the jury fixed
his penalty at hanging.
Fusselman was murdered ten years
ago and the publication of the facts
brought out in the recent trial of G sro-
nimO Para gave the public an oppor-
tunity of learning all the details of the
caee.
Para had taken the horses of q set
tier north of the city and was recog-
nized as the leader of q gang of rustlers
which had long infested the bosques
along the Rio Grande near Ell Paso
and committed any number of crimes.
Fusselman and George Harold round
ed up the gang of thieves beyond
Mount Franklin and we're worsted in
the fight. Harold escaped, but Fussel-
man was shot'and instantly killed.
District Judge Walthall has not yet
been officially notified OF the ac-
tion of the higher court. but as soon as
he is. the prisoner will be brought be-
fore him and sentenced.
THE HANGING.
When the news of the
finding of the district court reached
the court house it Immediately created
a buz of excitement among the officials.
Much discussion ensued as to what Of
ficer of the sheriff's force would be
delegated to spring the trap to launch
Para into eternity, and that question
is as yet an open one.
The hanging will probably be pri-
vate and on the gallows which forms q
part of the steel cages in the new Jail
addition. The gallows is q patented
affair of iron with a closed trap door
on the second floor of that portion of
the jail. When sprung it gives the
victim a fall of about II feet, as moth
ing is between him and the floor be-
low.
