TORRANCE'S
LEGAL HOME
Question to Be Determined by
Supreme Court Now in
Session.
CONFLICTING STATUTES
Claimed That Legislative Act Attaching
County to Second District is
Unconstitutional

A very important question will be
considered by the territorial supreme
court at its present session. The
Thirty-slXth Legislative Assembly en-.
acted Chapter 2 of the Session Laws of
1905, providing that the new county OF
Torrance should be a component part
of the second judicial district for all
court purposes. The territorial su.
preme court at it's session In last Jan
uary, when the Territory was appor.
toned by the court into six judicial
districts, the sixth judicial district
having been created by congressional
statute, assigned the county of Tor
rance to the sixth judicial district, AS
sociate Justice Edward A. Mann pre-,
siding. The question to be considered
by the court is does this action of the
territorial supreme court, had under
and by virtue of law of Congress,
hold good as against the enactment of
the Thirty-sixth Legislative Assembly
assigning Torrance County to the sec
ond judicial district. The decision
will be of far reaching moment as the
validity of the trials in civil and Grim
inal cases, which may hereafter come
up in Torrance County, will doubtless
ly be attacked by defendants and by
those against whom verdicts in civil
and criminal cases will be rendered in
the future and the question will sure
ly be carried to the supreme court OF
the United States for final adjudica
ton. The court has selected four at
torneys to make the arguments in the
case, namely: Charles A. Spiess. OF
Las Vegas, and Neil B. Field, Of AL,
to argue against the valid
ity of the territorial statute, while So
licitor General George w. Prichard
and William B. Childers, of Albuquer-
que, will argue for the validity OF
the statute and will endeavor to prove
that the legislative assembly acted
within its proper sphere and within
its powers in passing the law.

SCORES OF DETECTIVES.
Are Hunting for the Robber Who Sc
cured $1,000 From the Mail
Pouch at Belen.

Special to the New Mexican.
Albuquerque, June 26.-Although
scores of detectives, representing the
postoffice department, the Bankers In
surance Company and the Santa Fe
Railway, have been searching for the
robber of the mail pouch at Belen Sat
urday night, who secured a registered
package containing $4,000 in currency,
not the slightest clue has been OBJ
tanned. 1t is believed that the robbery
was premeditated. that the robber
went down on the same train which
carried the money, secured the pack
age when the pouch was thrown on
the train and proceeded on the same
train south to El Paso. The belief is
that the thief will never be captured

EVIDENCE AGAINST MCCLURE.
Indications All Point to Him as the
Murderer of Sanchez and Baca.

albuquerque June 26.-Sheriff Hub
bell has been unable to obtain a con
fession from Emelio Mcclure in
jail for the murder OF
Nicolas Sanchez and Carmel Baca at
the La Posta ford across the Rio Puer.
co River, forty miles from Albuquer.
que, Thursday night. Both of his vic
Tins were sheep owners and Sanchez
was prominent in the local politics OF
his part of the county.
Mcclure, the two sheepmen for
whom he had been working, and boy,
Patrio Sanchez, of Atrisco, who
brought the news of the murder, camp,
ed at La Posta ford Thursday night.
There had been words between Nc.
Clure and the two sheepmen. The
boy, Patrio. says that early Thursday
morning he was awakened by Nc.
Clure, who ordered him to get up and
help him hitch up one of the wagons
in which the party was travelling.
The boy asked where the two en-
ployers were and Mcclure told him
they had gone back to the river for
water. Mcclure and the boy drove
away from camp. When about a mile
away Mcclure suddenly leveled pis.
tol at the boy, and made him swear
that he would say nothing of the sud
den departure of the two men. The
boy escaped from Mcclure and gave
the alarm. The bodies of the two men
were found at the bottom of well
near the ford, horribly cut and beaten
The frightened boy rode to Albuquer
que and to the sheriff, who reached
the murderers home in Atrisco just as
he was leaving, riding a horse he had
stolen from the sheriff's ranch, near
by. He wore the hat Sanchez had
worn when murdered and Sanchezs
gun was found by the sheriff in Nc
Clure's home. Today the coroner's
jury at Ranches de Atrisco will bring
in a verdict and tomorrow, perhaps
the preliminary examination of Nc
Clure will occur, providing he does not
waive examination and allow the case
to go to direct to the grand jury.

these officials to appear before him at

Russian Poland out of sympathy with
the victims of the rioting at Lodz. and
so far as these cities are concerned the
situation almost approaches the dig.
nifty of open rebellion. News received

of the vigorous censorship but it is ev.

counters at Lodz is anticipated. Three
big Socialistic parties in Russian Po.
land are well organized and have
some arms, but the authorities claim
they have no chance to succeed single
handed. The main danger lies in the
spread to the Socialistic organizations
in other parts of Russia, with which
those in Russian Poland are closely
allied. In the meantime Caucasus Is
aflame with insurrection on big
scale. Mussulmans are actually be.
sieging the Armenians in some towns.
