MCCLURE NEVER CONFESSED
TO DOUBLE MURDER
HIS souNDNEss OF MIND is
oUESTIoNED-sToRY OF CON-
FEssIoN DOES HIM AN MUS
TICE

Judge w. c. HeacOck stated this
morning that a great injustice had
been done his client, Emilio Mcclure,
by the story circulated this morning
saying hat he had confessed that he
killed Nicholas Sanches and Carmel
Baca on the Rio Puerco last summer.
Mcclure never has confessed to
the murder" continued the attorney.
HE plead guilty to 1t, on the advice
of his father, after the latter had a
long talk with Judge Abbott, and not
on the advice of his attorney.
The most important reason why
Mcclure plead guilty was because he
is not very sound of mind, and he can
be examined for insanity TO a much
better advantage at the penitentiary
than here. The facts OF the case are
that McClure's mind is so weak that
he would not be a safe witness in his
own defense"

To a party of friends who had con-
gregated to see the sight, Mr.. Neher
announced that he was on his way to
the headgates of the Alameda ditch,
where for the past centuries wild
boars had roamed at will and to the
the destruction of certain elements in
that particular locality. They are
hard to shoot, and of course harder
to catch, but he thought he would
succeed in killing several of the best.
From the ~carcasses of those slain, he
could secure a few hams, and have
something for Christmas dinner other
than turkey, etc. Seeing the crowd
of people increasing, Mr.. Neher rode
off, and this afternoon is somewhere
among the jungles of the Alameda
precinct.

NINE ARRESTS LAIT NIGHT

The Albuquerque police are making
a effort to break up the

on in this city in bold fashion for
some time in the past. Chief McMillin
has instructed the force to take into
custody every suspicious person found
on the streets after dark and that the
men are doing SO there is no question
as the large nightly docket proves.
Last evening nine men were places
under arrest and confined in the city
prison. They compose about every

During McCurdy's testimony it was
brought out that George Raymond, a
brother Of Charles III. Raymond, was
the general agent for New Jersey; that
Howard Lewis, the general agent for
northern New York, with an office in
Albany, was a cousin of either the vice
president, Granniss, or Mrs. Granniss:
that DR.. e. J. Moss. the medical di-
rector of the Mutual Life, married a
sister of the president of the com
pany, and that D. Stuyvesant Pilot,
an inspector Of risks, is a cousin of
Louis Thebeaud, son-in-law of Presi-
dent McCurdy and partner of the
Raymond firm.
q. w. White, a secretary Of the COM
pany, whom McCurdy was asked about.
said he was no relative of any officer
Of the company, but that Mrs. White
is niece of Mrs. Granniss, wife of
Vice President Granniss." McCurdy
knew none Of the salaries of these
officers. Referring to the large rewards

said: This large reward for large

List Of Men Holding Fat Jobs Is a
Sort Of Family Record.
Salaries Some of Them Received,
President McCurdy Getting
$15O,OOO Year--Agen-
cies That Are Gold
Mines.

New York, Oct. 7.-Closing a week
every day of which has produced a
sensation that has stirred the country
the special legislative committee in
vestigating the methods of Insurance
companies has adjourned until Tues
day Of next week, the sessions to be
held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, instead Of Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, as heretofore. This change
was made because Friday is registra
ton day in this state and members
of the committee desired to be present
in their various districts. While other
weeks of the hearing have had sensa-
tons, no previous week has had a SEN
sation every day as the one that was
concluded with yesterdays session.
Salaries of the Officials.
In yesterdays testimony the sensa-
tional development was when Hughes
demanded the pay roll Of the eXecu-
tive officers of the company. This was
produced and showed the salaries of
these officers since 1877. For the year
1904 President McCurdy received $780,
600, two vice presidents were paid $780,
COO each, a second vice president 1900,
the third vice president $4,000, and
the general manager $4,000, who this
year will receive $4,000, and the treas
urer $4,000. The witness on the stand
was Robert Fl. McCurdy, general man
ager Of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, and son of Richard A. Nc
Curdy, president of that company.
Value of Large Salaries.
McCurdy said he never knew the
salary of his father until yesterday
when he heard it read in the commit
tee room. When asked if it was any
benefit to the policyholder to increase
the presidents salary McCurdy said he
thought the trustees had considered
that when they increased the presi-
dents salary. No increase, however,
had ever been considered when he was
present at the trustees meetings.
Hughes tried to bring out why G. H.
Raymond & Co. and the partners in
tudt Hill ICC0lN ou larger 0luOluuouIS
from the business than any other
agency.
Not in Business for Their Health.
McCurdy said he did not know what
Thebeaud received from the business,
and had never talked with him about
his personal affairs. He said it was
a "large reward for large achieve
ments,' and that all businesses Of
large magnitude were built up on that
principle. Asked to explain what con-
ditions of competition permitted the
firm Of Raymond & Co. to make $247,-
600 last year Of which Thebeaud re-
ceived $4,000 witness said the COM
pany did not know what the firm was
making out of the business and that,
like every merchant and business man,
they were in the business for what
they could get out of it.

GOULD-RAMSEY
CONTEST is ON
Meeting of the Directors of the Wa
bash Railway System at
Toledo, 0.

st. Louis, Oct. 1O.--In the st. Louis
circuit court Judge Daniel G. Taylor
denied the application of Joseph Ram
sey, Jr., depOsed president Of the
Wabash railroad, for an injunction to
restrain the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain roads or their trustees from
voting Wabash stock held by Or for
those railroads in the annual Wabash
election to be held in Toledo.
News Of the decision was telegraphed
at once to Toledo, where George J.
Gould and his supporters and Joseph
Ramsey and his personal advisers are
awaiting the decision. The failure of
the injunction suit, which, if success
full, would have tied up a large block
Of Gould stock, is regarded as a most
important victory for the Gould inter-
eStS.
Toledo, O., Oct. 10.-The annual
meeting of the Wabash railroad open
ed at 900 in the morning in the Of
fees of Smith & Beckwith, the local
attorneys for the railroad. Of the di-
rectors of the road there were pres

ton of Mr.. Ramsey, were outspoken

Gould in everything. Mr.. Ramsey
was equally explicit in his declaration
of opposition.
At the opening of the meeting Col
onel Doyle, acting for Mr.. Ramsey,
offered objections to Mr.. Gould as
presiding officer on the ground that
he was a director of the Missouri
Pacific, parallel line to the Wabash
road. He also offered objection to

QUESTION THAT RAISED SMILES

What Should Govern the Presidents
Salary, According to McCurdy.
McCurdy had testified to an increase
IN the assets of the company when
Assemblyman Rogers asked: did the
increase in the assets result in a bene-
fit to the policyholders in the same
proportion as it did to the officers Of
the company" This inquiry provoked
laughter among the audience.
Before McCurdy was able to reply
Hughes asked him, if there was ANY
limit in his mind at which the in
crease of the salaries of the officers
should stop. Do you think
the presidents salary should be in
creased to $250,OOO?' II think the sal
airy Of the president should be paid in
accordance with the Importance of the
corporation"
WAS it any benefit to the policy
holders to increase the presidents sal
ary!' Il think the responsibility in
creased as the corporations business
increased, and the trustees considered
that when they raised the salaries.''
McCurdy presented a statement
showing that the salary Of the Mutual
Life Insurance company's agent in
Cook county, ILL.,, was $4,000 a year,
and that he received commissions in
1904, besides his salary, amounting to
$1,000,

SmOthered Pig.

There is a fish in Hawaiian waters
which is known by the native name
of humuhumunukunuku which
means literally sewing up the nose"
The Hawaiian method of killing pig
to be roasted is to smother it, not cut
it's throat, and it is smothered by sew
ing up the pigs mouth and nose This
fish with the long name has spines
which in ancient times were used as
needles to sew up the pigs mouth;
hence the name more fully means 'the
