WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.


Special to The Citizen.
Santa Fe, May l3 The preliminary
hearing before Justice Garcia YESTERDAY
afternoon did not bring out any evidence
OF the prosecution except TO show that
Merrill did not commit suicide. Dr.
Sloan testified that any kind OF q bullet,
explosive or otherwise. could not have In
tlicted such wounds that any one OF the
i've cuts on Merriil's head would have
caused instant death. consequently sui
eide was On impossitility. Il IL known
that the prosecution has long chain OF
circnmstantial evidence that will tend 10
convict Locke Of the crime. The defense
on the other hand will prove that Merrill
few hours previous to his death made
statement TO several parties that he In. q.
tended TO commit suicide, and that he
would not see his friends any more.
Locke appeared hopeful enough during
the trial. but was disappointed and de.
spondent when remanded to jail without
bond.

HER SUCCESSFUL SCHEME

How an Ingenious Aunt Saved Her
Nephew from Drunkenness.
1t was a striking couple that entered
a carriage last Wednesday in front of
the Hotel Savoy. Both were tall. of
fine figure and easy grace, says the
New York Herald. The man looked
on the sunny side of so; the woman.
some years younger, was of the Juno
type. Their eyes and compilations had
dash Of the Spanish, while their talk
and manners were French.
Curious history that man has had ("
remarked hotel lounger. "He comes
of rich creole family in the Pont-
chartrain district of Louisiana. They
were immensely wealthy before the
war and managed to hold on to most
of their estates. His wife, also d Gre
ole, was educated with the most ex-
pensive polish abroad. Though mar
ried now for many years, they're lovers
yet. He was a wild young blade,
drinking, dueling and gambling. His
family tried all means to curb him,
but he broke every bit.
Zone night he was taken home par
alyzed with champagne. His old
maiden aunt had an inspiration. She
hurried off a trusted negro to New
Orleans for burial casket-silyer
handles, satin lining. Flowers were
picked from the garden and she ar
ranged candles and crucifix. When
the casket arrived the paralyzed youth
was placed carefully in it, while the
dear old schemer stayed up with "the
remains" 1t was some time before
he recovered enough consciousness to
grasp the funeral outfit, but the old
lady's artifice did the business. 1t was
the eye-opener he needed. That was
his last debauch,"

good and evil report.
It was enough. Long before the end
Of the story was reached, doubt had
flown from my soul; and when the last
words were spoken, l knelt before the
good and pure woman, and humpiy
begged forgiveness for my crime-for
it was no less. Need | say how my
appeal was met? 1t is women such as
the one | had the happiness to call
my wife who purify the world.
Come. my wife, and see your child.
Softly we stole into the bedroom.
My mother and our child were asleep.
In an agony of joy, Mabel pressed her
lips to Pearls face, to her neck, to her
hands, to her dress; but with such
divine tenderness and gentleness as
not to awaken our darling. My heart
went Up to God the benefcent!
Suddenly my mother stirred in her
bed.
"Amos," she cried. Then,
Mabel"
We went to her side.
You are together, my children"
Yes, dear mother"
Thank God. Amos, put your arms
round me. Listen! hear your father
calling, 'Yo, heave, ho!' Dear ones,
goodbye fer little while!"
Tomorrow is Christmas day, and l
am alone, writing the concluding
words. Tom Wren is coming to spend
Christmas with us.
Last night my wife and child and l
were sitting together in our little par
lor. Holly ard niistletoe were already
on the walls, garlanding two pictures
which have had drawn, one of my old
mother, the other of Beecroft, Marin
er. The fire was burning brightly, and
peace was in our hearts. The only
heaven the earth contains was shining
upon us and within us, though we
saw no glimpse OF the sky. We were
az Home. ard it was Home OF Love.

bureau, New Mexico section. Santa Fe,
has just issued his weekly crop bulletin.
In summing up the observations made
by the correspondents OF the bureau
throughout New Mexico. the director
says:

In general the rains were sufficient for
crops over northern sections, over cen
trail and southern counties the showers
were light and scattered, and far from
sufficient for the nesds OF vegetation
The rains OF the previous week, and the
heavy showers over northern sections
OF this week, Interrupted and delayed
wheat and alfalfa haTvests, and In some
districts considerable loss wa sus
tained. In the vicinity Of Albuquerque
II IL estimated that nearly all OF the
second cutting OF alfalfa WAS mOre or
less damaged. As "A rule. irrigation
water IL abundant, but in some central
localities planters have much diff llty in
getting sufficient water for their crops.

IN the vicinity OF B~ernalillo, and south,

Brother Gabriel, who IL the correspond
