MADE COMPLAINT
AGAINST HIMSELF
SHERIFF N. c. STEWART, or Ed
DY COUNTY, ACQUITTED
CHARGE or MURDER.

Behind the first Of the indictments
which was returned today by the
grand jury In Judge Walthall's court,
lies a pretty story, says the Ell Paso
News. 1t was against NJ Ciscero
Stewart, the sheriff of Eddy county,
New Mexico, and is or a charge pre-
ferred by himself for having killed
a Mexican horse thief several years
ago near Van Horn.
The charge is a mere Formally and
Sheriff Stewart preferred it in order
to clear himself Of a charge that had
been haunting him for months by havs
ing a fair and impartial trial before a
jury Of his peers.
The incident Of the killing was as
follows: In the early part of 1899
Sheriff Stewart was notified in Carls-
bad that a couple of Mexican horse
thieves had been depredating in the
Black River country. He at once
started after the men and chased
them as far as the G U S ranch own
ed by j. j. Hittson, manager Of the
Black Mountain cattle company. This
is near Van Horn and the Diavolo
mountains.
The Mexicans were rounded up in
a corral back of Tittson's place and
in a fight which ensued for their lib
erty one Of them was killed. Both
Hittson and Stewart fired and it was
never quite determined which bullet
killed the Mexican.
There is a story on the range that
els Stewart cut the Mexican open
to md whether or not 1t was his bull
let, but this is discredited.
Saturday Stewart came down from
Carlsbad and consulted with District
Attorney Harper about getting an in
dictment against him. This was en-
tered at Stewards request and q
charge Of manslaughter val entered
Sheriff Stewart gave bail.
His case was tried this afternoon
before Judge WalthaIl. The judge in
structed the jury to find a verdict fol
acquittal after hearing some testimo
ny. This was done and the case was
finished in less than twenty minutes

POSTMASTER GENERAL ANXIOUS
TO EXPEDITE TRIAL OF su.
PERINTENDENT MAcHEN.
FURTHER ARRESTS ARE IMMINENT
ADDITIONAL SENSATIONAL DE.
vELoPMENTs EXPECTED IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.

Washington, May 29.-Assistant At
torney General Robb of the pestoff1ce
department had long conference
during the day with United States
District Attorney Beach regarding the
procedure in the Machen case. 1t is
the wish of the postmaster general
that the case be expedited as much
as possible. The evidence in the case
has already been reviewed by Attor-
ney General Knox, Solicitor General
Hoyt and District Attorney Beach and
the prosecution now rests with the
department of justice. The federal
grand jury Is in session and it is ex-
pected that the case of Mr.. Machen
will be presented Immediately to
that body. The civil suit and attach
ment proceedings to recover the
amounts alleged by the postoff1ce de-
partment to have been obtained from
the post box fastener contracts Will
be instituted at once. This phase OF
the case is now in the hands of the
district attorney. The proceedings
will be similar to those instituted in
the Green-Gaynor cases. The post
master general said that no further
sensational developments were expect
ed at present Nevertheless other ar
rests are believed to be imminent.

MAcHEN's ATTORNEY SPEAKS.
Public Should Withhold judgment
Pendinq Developments.

Washington, May 29.-Mr. Charles
A. Douglass, of counsel for Mr.. Mach
en-, has given out the following state
ment of the present status of the
Machen case and also about the course
of proceedings in the immediate flu
ture:
"Mr. Machen cannot fight out his
case in the newspapers, but this much
can, with propriety, be stated: The
charges, seemingly made with del1b'
GRAFTON, are of the gravest character,
and If the government succeeds in es-
tablishing them Mr.. Machen and
every one connected with them ought
to be severely punished. If, however,
they have been made improvlde nttally
and without sufficient evidence, pub
lie censure, swift and strong, should
fall upon the heads of the responsible
parties. Mr. Machen has been a long
time in the public service and he is
widely and favorably known through
out the United States, and it is due
him that the public should not pre-
Judge his case, but should patiently
await developments, which are sure
to come Mr. Machen is ready to
meet, in the clearest and most salts
factory way, the charges now specii-
cally made against him, and he pub
licly invites the most rigid investiga-
ton into every act and transaction
connected with his official life. More
than this should not now be said. "
Mr. Machen, under advice OF his
counsel refused to discuss the case.
