There is strong organization In
Albuquerque. as you know. friend Ho-
waru. lighting Frank Hubbell to the
death ne is by ali odds the smartest
politician in the territory. but neither
you nor myself admire all his ways
and methods. Clancy is against him
because he was against Clancy for dis
irict attorney and thwarted Clancy in
many unnecessary ways during the
las, few years.

CIV brought before It 1876 witnesses to
itnd out what had become OF the $685..
600 received from Mckinley county az
ter the cutting OF Il from Bernaltllo
county. At the end of the investiga-
tion although he found that the money
WIS received and all expended for the
countys benefit, he and the jury both
found that II had been very irregular
~ handed. put Il was claimed Clancy
knew as6ut il when ii was done. The
grand jury then asked him to bring
IN blank indictments To be found by
the jury against anybody criminally
liable, and hr. Clancy then anu there
told the grand jury that he could not
call for an Indictment. as nothing had
been done that was a crime deserving
indictment. Then he presented TO the
grand jury report intended To have
great political effect, censuring all the
county officials in a manner that suit
ed himself.
