TODAY'S SESSION
DISTRICT COURT
GhastIy Details of Romero-Sanchez
Murder Case and Love Affair
Coming Out.

The district court for Santa Fe
County reconvened this morning at
8 o'clock, Judge John r. McFie pre-.
siding. A. NJ. Bergere was at his
post as clerk. The Territory was
represented by Attorneys f. A. Fiske
of this city, j. B. Lusk, of Taos and
julius Staab, of Albuquerque.
Immediately after court convened
this morning a recess was taken until
this afternoon at . o'clock. Seven wit
nesses were examined yesterday after
noon in the murder case of the Ter
ritory VS.. Juan Manuel Romero. None
of them. however, had been an actual
eye witness to the shooting which
caused the death of Estevan Sanchez
Six of them testified that they had
talked with the defendant after the
fatal affray and related what he told
them of the affair. The other witness
was Dr.. J. O. Cook of Taos who had
been called in to attend Sanchez
when the latter was fatally wounded.
Silvia Sandoval stated that she had
talked with the defendant on the same
day that the shooting occurred and he
had told her that he intended killing
another man but did not mention the
name of the other person. Her story
was corroborated in every detail by
Perfiio Abreu. He declared that the
defendant had made threats to kill
another man but had withheld the
name of the victim from him also.
Juan Medina, Ramon Medina, Vidal
Sanchez, Rosendo Sanchez and Jose
de Jesus Cordova who were other wit
nesses called by the prosecution, tes-
tilted to the conversation they had
had with the defendant after the MUIR
derous assault, and their stories were
in substance the same as that of the
two preceding witnesses. Romero had
told them of the causes that led up to
the shooting, how he had demanded
the return of the letter written by his
daughter from the deceased, and of
firing at the deceased when informed
that the letter had been destroyed
Upon cross-examination as to the con-
dition of the defendant when he relat-
ed the circumstances on the day of
the tragedy all of the witnesses stated
that he did not appear to be excited.
Ramon Medina testified to the threats
made and said the other man, the de.
fendant stated he intended to kill, was
Sanchez's father.
DR.. ]. o. Cook told of the path tax
en- by the bullet which killed Sanchez.
He stated that the ball had entered
the back and came out in front, hav
ing ploughed it's way through the liv-
er lungs and abdominal cavity. In
his opinion the immediate causes Of
death were peritonitis, the bullet hav-
ing passed through the intestines in
four places, and internal hemorrhages
caused by the gunshot wound. San
chez fingered for five days before he
died and according to the doctors tes
timony repeatedly asked if he was go
ing to die.
Sanchez made an ante-mortem state
ment which the prosecution intended
to introduce as evidence this after
noon.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany is calling upon the State to
aid it against troubles it had
with tie Workers OF the World in
GCldfeld, urging that il is a heavy
taxpayer in Nevada.
The question of taxation does not
enter into the right OF any corpor-
alton or individual to have the full
protection of the law
The tax payer and the non-taX pay
err is entitled alike to legal protec-
ton under certain circumstances. The
plea of the Western Union that it
pays heavy taxes is simply ridicu-
lous.

lorious tax shirker and its telegram

FIRE CHIEF UNDER MASS.
Dennis Sullivan, chief of the fire
department for twenty-seven years,
fell victim in the collapse of an
engine house, but the reports regard
ing him we're very contradictory, some
saying he is dead, Others that he is
but slightly bruised.
Ten minutes ago, however, a cap
tain of police stated to the Publish
ers' Press correspondent that the
charred body of the chief had been
found. 1t is thought he was killed
under the mass of falling debris be-
fore the flames reached him.
The great holocaust, perhaps the
most destructive in the history of the
Pacific coast did not have its origin
from single source. In the houses
of many workingmen breakfast was
being prepared when, at $50 this
morning the first shock of the earth
quake struck the city.
In scores of homes stoves were
dashed to the floor and the dwellings
Immediately burst into flames.
CLEAN SWEEP OF FLAMES.
So soon as the crash of the falling
buildings had ceased the rumble OF
the fire apparatus was heard and the
entire fighting force of the city was
soon being concentrated at the points
where it could do the most good.
The ever increasing force of the wind
and the twisting of the water mains,
throwing the water service out of
existence was handicap that could
not be overcome and the flames swept
on along the streets that are so dear
to the hearts of the native sons"

THE SUPPOSED CAUSE OF EARTH
QuAkES, AND THEIR
EFFECT.

Rev. Frank Hillig of Toledo, astron-
omer and scientist of st. Johns col
lege, says the California earthquakes
the Formosa earthquakes and the
eruption of Vesuvius are all probably
attributable to the spots seen on the
face of the sun.
He predicts that a great ocean wave
will soon come in from the Pacific
and do incalculable damage to the
coast.
"An earthquake" said Father Hill
Zig, begins at some point deep in
the bowels of the earth caused by mys-
terious influence, electrical or other
wise of the suns spots.
The vibrations radiate out from
that center.
These earth waves may reach the
surface of the earth at different
places at different times, owing to the

NUMEROUS EXPLOSIONS.
AS the flames, with ever-increasing
fury licked thir way up towards the
centre OF the city, leaving a path of
ruin and desolation in its wake, the
terror of the situation was empha-
sized by sounds of numerous explos-
ions.
At first ii was believed these were
occurrences of the earthquake shocks,
but soon 1t was discovered that the
city authorities we're resorting to the
use of dynamite to arrest the on
ward sweep of the flames.
\ But even the dynamite was ineffect-
ual. Past the lodging house district,
up beyond the department store sec
ton and even to the commercial cen
ter and still again on to the resi-
dence district stretched the path OF
flames.

THE FIRES ARE NOW
UNDER CONTROL

New York, April 18.-Private ed
vices received in Wall street at 9:45
tonight indicate that so far as the
fires in San Francisco are concerned
the city fire department, aided by
those from Oakland and other nearby
points, have succeeded in securing
control of the blaze, but up to the
present time no effort has been made
to search the ruins of the destroyed
district for the dead and dying.
The regular troops from the Presi-
dio are doing yeoman service and they
have been aided by the surviving mem
bers of the California National Guard
in San Francisco and the police force,
such members of the fire department
as can be spared and all of the minor
federal, state and city officials within
the stricken city.
