On his return he stopped off here the
| first of the week and stayed ovel
night with T. L. Virgins. Tuesday
eight miles west of town, where his
son, Albert Akin, and family resided
previous to the tragedy. After seeing
the dismal little adobe hut which they
had called home, Mr.. Akin expressed
himself as of the opinion that it was
law who should be behind the bars
He said that the husband had drag
ged the woman around the country
and imposed upon her needless hard
ships, finally Gaping the climax by
going away and leaving her alone
among strangers.
From the father it was learned that
Albert Akin, upon disappearing from
here, several weeks ago, walked all
the way to the home of his parents
in Beaver county, Oklahoma, and af-
ter reaching there stayed out in the
fields two or three days before COM
ing to the house.
Mr.. Akin did not state in so many
words that his son was crazy, but
said he thought he was not just right
in his head at times. AS to Mrs Akin
he had never seen anything to indi-
cate that she was not in her right
mind. He could hardly believe it pos
sible that she had murdered her own
child.
The younger Akin reached his old
home with his feet badly frostbitten,
and so completely exhausted that he
had been confined to the house since.
This is given as his reason for not
returning here on learning of the un-
fortunate death of his child and the
arrest of his wife. His father came
in his stead
1t would seem that Albert Akin and
his wife are two of natures unfortu-
mates, and are, perhaps, as much to
pitied as censured. Many people con-
slider the wife insane, and there is
little doubt that the husband is men
tally unbalanced. In fact, his advent
ton. Several months ago, in tenn
porary fit of insanity, he struck and
seriously injured his father, after
which he ran away and came to this
country, living for awhile under an
assumed name.

FIRST WITNESS CALLED
He Narrates What Occurred in the
Conference With Commissioner Gar
field at the Chicago Club.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 29-All efforts
by the attorneys in the packers case
to reach an agreement upon the
facts at issue having failed, the hear
ing was resumed today, and the TAX
ing of evidence was commenced. The
first witness was Louis C. Krauthoff,
of New York, formerly general coun-
sci for Armour & Co. He was placed
on the stand to narrate his inter
view with Commissioner Garfield at
the Chicago Club, April IS, 1905,
said certain things the import of
which was that if he received the in
formation for which he asked the
packers they should not be prosecut-
ed criminally. Judge Humphreys rul-
ed that if it were true that the pack
themselves under pressure from the
government it would be competent to
show the nature of the legal advice
under which the defendants were
acting.
The witness described this meet
ing with the Commissioner as fol
lows: "Charles G. Dawes telephoned
me and said that Mr.. Garfield was in
the city, and asked if I desired to
meet him. I replied that l would, and
in company with Samuel McRoberts
l called at Dawes bank, then we
went to the Chicago Club. l was in
troduced by Mr.. Dawes to Commis-
sioner Garfield After some remarks
about other matters, Garfield opened
the rebate matter, and it was dis
cussed for nearly two hours.
Garfield stated in a formal way,
being apparently careful of his Ian
guage, substantially this: That the
Martin resolution imposed upon him
the duty of investigating the pack
ing industry; that in order to do
this he must have access to the books
of the packers. His purpose in com
ing to Chicago was to gain this ac-
cess. He said that he had held a con
ference with the President and 9th
and that it was of very great impor-
tance. He said that he was particu-
larly anxious that the investigation
should be fair, exhaustive and thor
ough, so that the usefulness of the
department would be shown knew

that the street commissioner attemp-
ted to stop this, threatening to ar
rest the bill distributors and their
employers,-but as there does not
appear to exist any city ordinance
against this method of advertising
he placed himself in a rather ridicu-
lous position, and was promptly told
to mind his business.

of Commerce and Labor and remark
ed that of course l knew his power
to get information. He again said that
he spoke for the President, and that
of course we would have protection
under the law creating his depart
ment. | told him that if the law was
valid, there was no doubt that he
could compel the disclosure of infor-
nation; but that if the results of this
submission to his requirements were
to be further newspaper notoriety
and litigation, l would of course con-
test the law. He said that the letter
of the law protected my clients. He
said that his department was separate
from the Department of Justice, and
must necessarily be so, for if it were
known that his department was affil-
lated with the Department of Justice
of course people would not give him
any information
Krathuff declared that acting on
further assurance from Commission
er Garfield of protection, he advised
Swift & Co, Nelson, Morris & Co.,
and Armour e Co. to submit their
books to investigation.

A New Town.

Some enterprising citizens of the
Pecos Valley have secured 160 acres
of decided land, where the station of
Kenna now is, northeast of Roswell
ON the Pecos Valley road. This land
has been plated as a townsite and
will be called "Urton." We are inform
ed that a stock company (incorpora-
ted) will be formed to handle the pro-
position, and that town lots will soon
be selling in Urton. We predict that
some day Roswell will be the distrib-
uting point for a large number OF
good towns in the surrounding coun-
try

The Record does not wish to crit

thousands of posters on the streets.
If there is no ordinance against it,
the street commissioner thought he
was doing the right thing.

enthusiastic over conditions in the
Pecos Valley and in Eastern New
Mexico.
Mr.. Reid states that between four
and five hundred homeseekers arrive
in the Pecos Valley each second
and fourth Thursday of every month,
and that quite a per cent of the arri-
walls purchase land in the Valley and
become residents. Mr. Reid states
that he is of the opinion that more
than 10000 acres OF raw land will be
added to the already cultivated land
this year, and next year there will be
a much larger increase as the land
under the Hondo reservoir, 10000 ac-
res, will come in next year in addi-
ton to that which will be put in cul-
tivation in the artesian belt.
He states that Roswell and half
dozen smaller towns south are all
growing very rapidly and that "our
country" is in a prosperous condi-
ton. There is no more land to be
filed on by settlers in the artesian
belt, but north of Roswell about fifty
pidly, with farmers who expect to car
ry on the Campbell dry culture sys-
tenn of raising crops.
The people Of Roosevelt county
have been farming there for several
years, and in that time have gone
through the most severe drought New
Mexico has known for a long time.
But, even in those years, they have
made fairly good crops of Kaffir corn.
and fruit trees grow without irriga-
tion.
Hundreds of people are locating
farms along what is known as the
Belen "Cut-of' each month. The mum
Der of homestead entries during the
past thirty days at the Roswell land
Office Is said to exceed three hundred.
Mr.. Reid predicts that there will be
two division points, and surrounding
these points will be prosperous farm
ing communities. The railroad COM
pany will control the townsites. These
