A continuance Until next Monday
was asked for by the prosecution on
the ground that t.. ey had several ma

not yet been secured. This was agreed
to.
On behalf of the defence Judge Will
cox asked the court to issue subpoenas
for several important witnesses, whose
expenses the defendant Is unable to
pay. This include several members of
his family living near Fort Hancock
and one living in Las Cruces.
Since the new treaty went into effect
there have been three cases in Ell Paso,
of which two have already been sur
rendered. One made no objection to
returning. The Rich case was the
most important as the first where the
surrender of an American citizen was
asked for. This case involves the same
question, but as q precedent has al
ready been established it will
probably not have the same
importance. It is said, however, that
the additional defense will be made
that the alleged crime. antedsted the

He does not speak English and is q
