Brought From Tombs To. Day to Crowded LOurt
 Room.

New York, Feb 2S.-Nan Patterson, the show girl who was being held in the Tombs prison on the charge of killing Caesar Young, was taken be- fore Justice Gaynor in Brooklyn to- day on writs of habeas corpus and cer- tiorari obtained by her counsel on the ground that she had been deprived of her constitutional right to d prompt trial.

While awaiting the arrival of the car d crowd gathered about her and many photographers attempted to obtain d snapshot at her. She seemed to be amused, not annoyed by their efforts.
 An immense crowd gathered around the court house in Brooklyn and when Miss Patterson arrived there the court room was crowded. Accompanied by her father and the Tombs warden, Miss Patterson was escorted to seat within the bar enclosure and the pro- ceedings were begun. The prisoner chatted and laughed with those around her.
 Justice Gaynor appeared to be great ly displeased with the scene and when the request was made for an adjourn allow Assistant District Attorney Rand to he present the justice asked if the adjournment would necessitate the presence of Miss Patterson in court at that time. '1 do not want rendition of this scene with its retinue and fol- lowing in this court room" he said. "Tt annenrs to me that it would be en- tirely unnecessary to reGuir" the pres ence of this prisoner in event of the raGrest for an adjournment being grar+ed."

REPORT ADOPTED.

Tokio. Feb 2-The diet has adopted the report and settled the accounts of the committee appointed to investigate the questions arising over the con- tracts for the construction of barracks at Hokkaido. pronouncing the expendi- ture thereon illegal and unwarrant- able.
 The ruling of the chair preventing q vote on the question of addressing the emperor on the subject produced a turbulent scent. during the closing hour of the discussion. the diet being angered because Secretary of War Teraoutchl said that he was answera- ble to the soyerign and not to the diet.
 The diet committee summoned M. Teraoutchi before the diet and briefly questioned him on the subject Of the contracts which were let before his entrance into the ministry. The op- ponents of the government admit that NJ. Teraoutchi is blameless in the mat ter.
 It is expected that Chief Quarter master Tomatsu. who resigned after assuming the responsibility of the con tracts under discussion will be re- stored to his position.

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1905-03-02

Doss Boykin, the man who has been
confined in the county Jail in Ros-
we'll since the first of the year and
is accused of numbering his brother
in-law. Henry Stoltz, at Portales on
December 90, is making an effort to
secure the privilege of giving bond.
which was refused him by the JUS
tice that bound him over to the grand
jury. The process of Mr.. Boykin-s
effort is through the habeas corpus
act which is to be read before Judge
Pope at Portales today. asking that.
provided he secure a suitable securi
ty, he be given temporary freedom
until the time of his trial.
Sheriff Joe Lang, of Roosevelt coun
ty, came down from Portales last
night with the necessary papers and
took Boykin to Portales this morning
Judge Evans accompanied them, 60
ing to assist in presenting Boykin's
case to Judge Pope.
The crime Of which Doss Boykin is
accused is well remembered in Ros-
we'll. 1t was on December %, just
past. Boykin's home was in Tucum-
carl and he was in Portales spending
the holidays with relatives. He and
Henry Stoltz had married twins and
they had a little family trouble. On
the day of the 2Sth Boykin went to the
Stoltz home and met Mr.. Stol-z in the
door. Stories as to what transpired
differ. but the result of the meeting
was that Stoltz was shot to death.
Boykin was the only eyewitness and
he has told several different accounts
of the fatal meeting.
After the shooting Boykin gave
himself up to the officers. Although
feeling ran high over the matter, the
dead man having been prominent in
politics and business, there was no
effort on the part of the citizens at
any act of violence. Boykin was
brought to Roswell, there being NO
jail at Portales, and has been in GUS
tody here since then
Both Boykin and stoltz are from
prominent families and both have
splendid regulations In the localities
I'm which they lived. Stoltz In wei 70

membered in Roswell, having been
deputy sheriff of Chaves county and
jailer in Roswell a few years ago.
He ran for sheriff of Roosevelt coun-
ty in the last election and was beaten
by the present sheriff. Mr.. Lang,
who is a friend of both the families
who are most deeply concerned in the
affair.
From the best sources obtainable,
it is understood that the shooting was
the result of a trivial jealousy, or sup
posed jealousy that was founded on
a misunderstanding more than on
real conditions.

THE COLONY.

The Las Vegas Optic in speaking
OF the bill now before congress pro-
yiding for the establishment Of a lep-
er colony In New Mexico, says:
should the institution be establish
ed at Fort Stanton, the citizens of
Roswell could not easily refrain from
~shuddering at the thought that the
water which came to them from the
Bonito and the Hondo had flowed di-
rectly through the lazar house.
Opinions differ widely as to the
possibility Of contracting leprosy by
contagion or infection. but the aver
age mortal is more afraid of the dis
ease than of death, and unquestionab-
ly the bruiting of the news through
the nation that hundreds of lepers
were to be sent to New Mexico, would
injure us greatly.
Ten years ago medical opinion
was practically unanimous hat lepro-
sly could not be contracted by conta-
gion. In the middle age a remarka-
BILE leprosy epidemic swept over Eu-
rope. Lazar houses were erected near
all large towns. The disease exhaust
ed itself and now remains only in a
few districts of Russia, France, Italy
and Crete. In the latter island non
leprosy people have occupied the prin
cipal leper villages and live side by
side with the lepers.
Since Hansen discovered the
specific organism known as bacillus
leprae. there has arisen a fresh sus-
picion that the disease may possibly
be in some way transmitted from one
individual to another. However, no
artificial culture of the bacillus leprae
has ever been obtained, and there
is absolutely no assured theory as
to the ann in which it obtains an
entrance to human anatomy. Mod
ern medical science is as inadequate
to cope with the disease as the Jews
of old.
Little to the point. however, is a
discussion of the cause and effect of
the disease. To establish a colony in
this Territory would be an imposition
that the citizens can't be expected to
stand and won't stand, they will
put up any kind of a fight that is nee
essary to secure them in their right
not to have their commonwealth made
a pest house for the nation"
