An important damage case in which
there is considerable local interest
came up this morning In the first judi.
clal district court for Santa Fe Coun.
ty before Judge John R. McFie. It was
the suit Of Mrs. Luis M Ortiz VS.. the

r. Gibson, ex-City Engineer John l..
Zimmerman and J. s. Candelario as
individuals. Upon the elimination of
the city in the suit the court render.
ed decision in favor of the plaintiff
for s146 actual damages and $1,000
punitive damages. Mr.. Candelario's
name was stricken from the suit when
1t was shown that he had no part in
the proceeding for which damages
were Gained and therefore the court
reduced the actual damages to $50.
The suit dates back to the time OF
Mayor Glbson's administration when a
street was opened one Sunday by the
mayor and city engineer without
authority from the city In the open.
ing of this street the foundation Of a
house which the plaintiff was erecting
was torn down and 1t was to recover
damages for this action that the suit
was brought. Mr.. Candelario became
involved from the fact that he was
present at the time, but 1t was proved
to the satisfaction Of the court that
he was only there to protect his own
propery rights,

tory. Detectives Kinney and Oldham
TWO of the brightest men in the de
partment, spent three months in solv
ing the mystery in which it was
shrouded. Mrs. Myers was married
to a young pressman several years
her junior and professed to love him
Frank Hoffman, an ignorant, british
country boy, whose home was al
Pleasant Hill. Missouri however, was
the center of her affections. He came
TO her home at night while her hus-
hand who was ill, lay asleep and the
treacherous woman arose from the
bed and admitted him to the house
He was armed with a heavy billiard
cue which had been shaped ilto a
cane, and ii was this weapon, which
led to his pursuit across half contl

How Murder Was Committed.
The young husband was awakened
by Hoffman entering the house, and
while her heart was filed with mur

the bed ard soothed h,1I - sleel
Hoffman then crept into the room
and dealt young Myers an awful blow
with the club. However it did moi
kill him, and he attacked his assail

ing which either the woman or Hott
man, cut Myers severely with razor
His throat was finally gashed and he
fell to the floor. While Hoffman helt
him there, it is alleged, Mrs. Myers
stabbed him in the back with a pail
of shears until he died. Hoffman ther
fled and Mrs. Myers. pretended to fal
in a faint in the door of her home
after summoning neighbors.
When a reporter and three officers
entered the house, she said that two
negroes had entered through win

the crime. Jewelry she said they hat
stolen was found hidden in an organ
in the house. After his arrest Hott
man confessed, but the woman will
