Special Cor. New Mexican.
Clayton, Union county, September A.
Court convened here yesterday and after
an entire day, devoted to the empaneling
of juries, got down to business today
At 1890 p. m, the special having "Black
Jack" on board came in. There was a
large crowd at the depot to see him, and
as he got off the train, in charge of Mr..
Reno, the express detective, AMI six de-
p9ties, there was craning of necks and
an anxious desire on part of the crowd
to see the celebrated criminal
At 2 p. m, court was called to order
and the court room was full to overflow.
ing. At 2:4O, "Back Jack" was brought
in to answer to the three indictments
which were rendered by the last grand
jury here. He looked rather nervous, as
he filed into the court room. He first
expressed desire to speak with Mr..
Reno and the court granted him the de-
sired permission. After few minutes,
District Attorney Leahy began reading
the indictments. He seemed impatient
and his glance went over the audience,
as if seeking friend somewhere. At
the conclusion of the reading of the first
indictment, he asked leave of the court
to plead guilty, but this the court re-
fused, as the crime with which he is
charged is punishable with death; hence,
the clerk was ordered to enter plea of
not guilty. In the last two indictments,
he himself pleaded not guilty. Under
the New Mexico code, there is only one
penalty attached to train robbery, that
of death. Therefore, he will either hang
or be acquitted, and no one has the
slightest idea that he will get the latter
His self-control was good throughout the
whole proceeding.
His trial was set for Thursday, and W.
B. Bunker, of Las Vegas, was appointed
to defend him. If he expected any sym
pathy from the crowd he was disappont-
ed as there was not the slightest bit
manifested. 1t is the grim determine
tion of those connected with his trial to
convict him, and unless the Unforeseen
should occur they will undoubtedly sue
ceed.
There are two or three other murder
cases on the docket, but tits uncertain
whether both sides are ready for trial or
not.
A heavy rain fell here last night,
making it very muddy.
Thursday will be the "big day
'Black Jacks" trial.
