alton would be necessary, DIR. Guerrs
went to summon another physician Il
assist him. Dr.. Guerra was told the
shooting was an accident and did not
| consider it necessary to report il to
| the authorities. About O'Clock, be-
fore DR.. Guerra's return, Mrs. Rich
again telephoned for DR.. Gallagher
who went over and found Rich in bed
wounded.
Not wishing to know too much, the
physician asked no qustions, but seeing
an operation would be absolutely
necessary, he told Mrs. Rich he must
be brought over to the hospital before
anything could be- done. Mrs. Rich
assented and the doctor returned home.
A little later Rich and his wife arrived
at the Hotel Dieu in Ell Paso In hack.
Suspicion was at once directed to
Mrs. Rich as the author of the crime.
A long history of the family was dug
up to show the state of feeling existing
between the husband and wife and it
was shown that they had quarreled the
evening before about woman in
whose company Rich was. While in
the hospital Rich stated to different
parties that his wife had shot him aud
just before his death, the prosecution
alleges, he made sworn statement to
that effect.
The arrest af Mrs. Rich followed. 1t
was done by the state authorities, and
was. in the opinion of lawyers, abso-
lutely illegal. Her attorneys waived a
hearing when sine was ar
raigned before Justice Spencer, intend
ing to sue out a writ of beas corpus in
the district court. Mrs Rich, however,
refused to sign the necessary papers
and declared they were betraying her.
Hence she remained in jail until Con-

THE VERDICT in
THE RICH CASE
Mrs. Rich Now Calm And Re-
signed to Her Fate.
REVIEW OF THE CRIME
And OF the Trial And Testimony
Which Confines Her To a peni-
Tertiary For Fourteen Years.

The decision in the Rich case wss
officially made public yesterday otter
noon at O'Clock, after the attorneys
bad given their notice of appeal,
although it was communicated in full
to Mrs. Rich in her cell earlier. AS
stated in yesterdays HERALD che was
found guilty and sentenced to fourteen
years imprisonment. This is six years
less than the maximum penalty that
mig have been imposed under the
law of the state. Mrs. Rich is now
calm and has nothing to say and is
more resigned than she was yesterday
when she first heard the verdict.
The decision reviews the entire case
and the testimony at considerable
length, from the evening before the
shooting, when Mrs. Rich entered the
Moctezuma saloon and telephoned the
HERALD and Times offices, and when,
as she claims, she found her husband in
company with a woman, down to the
time of her extraditlon and prelimin
airy hearing before Judge Dominguez.
The Judge first states the nature of

the evidence throughout and then
proceeds to draw conclusions. The
finding of her husband in company
with Mrs. Cheatham on the previous
evening is taken to furnish motive
for the crime and her course of conduct
on that evening in the store aud later
In the Moctszuma saloon is taken &c
show her state of mind and her feeling
tow ards her hus band.
The evidence OF several witnesses is
cited to the effect that they heard a
cry of pain and the thud made by a
body falling to the floor In Rich IS
apartments about 3 o'clock in the
morning and one that he heard a shot
fired. The testimony as to subsequent
events is chiefly that of Arthur Rose
mond that Rich told him his wife had
shot him and OF the Chinese cook to
the effect, that Mrs. Rich had refused
him admittance to the apartments that
morning.
Great stress is laid by Judge Gonzs-
leZ upon the medical. testimony, that
had Rich been shot outside and return
ed home wounded a. she claimed, it
would have been impossible for him TO
have elm bed the stairs in that cOndi-
ton, and also upon the fact that no bull
let hole was found in his clothes. The
testimony of the doctors and the under
taker is introduced to prove Rich s
death from the effect Of pistol shot
Under the law Mrs. Rich's sentence
will be reduced one fourth for good
behavior and increased for miscou-
duct. In conclusion the court so
informs and warns her accordingly.
No pardon Ia recommended in the de-
cision and nothing can be done about
that until after it is acted upon by the
supreme court at Chihuahua.
When the notice of appeal was given
Mrs. Rich stated to the court she was
DESTROYS OF securing the services of
Lie. ErnestO Romero with whom she
neg otiated before the trial. She says
he offered his services several times
and she intended to make final effort
to get him In the further conduct of
the case. This was allowed by the
court.
The murder for which Mrs. Rich was
tried was com mitted on the morning of
April 9th, 1889, just three days after
the new extradition treaty went into
eject. Rich was shot with a pistol and
the bullet went through the body and
was never found. Neither was the pis-
toll found.
According to the contention of tie
prosecution the crime was committed
about o'clock a. m. in the apartments
occupied by Rich and his wife, and was
the result ofJealousy on the part of Mrs.
Rich. No one heard the shot. The
authorities of Juarez knew nothing of
the shooting until they read the &C
counts in the Ell Paso papers
bout 6 o'clock in the morning, DR..
+. w. Gallagher received a telephone
message from Juarez to come at once.
He replied he was busy and would not
be able to go until later. The an
swer was that he must come at once.
Shortly after this DIR. Jesus M. Guerra,
q well known physician of Juarez, was
called by Mrs. Rich to attend her
husband whom he found lying in bed
desperately wounded. Seeing an cper-

ENGLAND OR
THE TRANSVAAL
The Opinions Of Many Citi-
zens On the War.
SYMPATHY FOR Beers
Most People Think the English Will
Eventually Win BY Weight OF
Numbers, But Majority Are
For the Beers In Their STRUGGLE.

This morning HERALD reporter
on his rounds interviewed q number OF
citizens asking each this question
(Which, in your opinion, will win II
South Africa, the English or the
| Boers?'
Some of the answers are interesting
rs showing the state of public feel
ing.
| Recorder @. B. Well,
begin to think the Beers may win.
| County Clerk Park Pittman-Tbat
Ia something you can't tell much abOut t.
If the numbers were equal, | would
say the Beers, but if the English keep
on pouring troops into the country,
they will probably win. My sympa-
| thies are with the under dog. Now
pick out the under dog, If you can.
| Capt. J. 81. White-The British will
win, suppose. 1 don't like generally
! to see a gre at power jump into a smaller
one, but at the same time, [ can't
| forget that England stood by us in the
Spanish war.
Robert enwood-Lady smith will
win.
Capt. T. J. Beall-Quien sabe?
don't think England will accomplish
anything with her present force, but
unless there Is come foreign interven-
tion toe English will win
James Moore-I don't know what to
think about it, but l hope the Beers
will drive the English into the
sea.
Sam Bridgers-I agree with Mr..
Moore. 1 hope the Beers will kill the
Eu glish off as fact as they get there.
James Clifford think the Beers
will win and 1 hope SD. I would be
willing to die if L could first see the
British empire in Fragments
Sam Dwyer-The English will win
L,.A
task.
E. E. Russell-There are two ways
out of it. One is for the English to win.
The other ia to fight until both sides
are worn out and then settle 1t by arbi-
tration. l think there is one chance
for the Beers to win outright. The
only way for that is to overthrow the
preient conservative governments and
If the liberals come into power they
Gladstone did before But there does
not seem to be much chance of that.
Adam j. Dieter, whom popular
rumor several times located in South
Africa with the BOers-I think the
Beers are going to win. They always
had my sympathy.
Chief of Police Lockart-It looks
like the Beers jus now. 710
N. G. Buchoz-The Beers.
Major w. J. Fewell-I am for the
British every time. 1 used to be the
other way but I have changed.
thought it WAS case of q big power
attacking small but don't think any
nation has q right to do as the Beers
have done. They asked of the Beers
the protection for their citizens that
every civilized people grant.
Attorney E. G. Wade of Las Cruces
4 sympathize with the Beers. 1
would like to see United States of
Africa spring up like the United States
of America.
