How it Happened.

U. s. District Attorney w. H. H.
Llewellyn, the legal representative OF
the United States government in New
Mexico and who has been a citizen OF
this Territory for twenty-six years, in
III Paso yesterday gave an interview
which appeared in yesterdays issue OF
the Albuquerque Evening Citizen and
it is re-published by the New Mexican
to give it the widest possible circula-
tion. Major Llewellyn does not mince
matters and his statements are based
upon absolute and undeniable facts.
He said:
"This whole movement to arouse
sentiment in behalf of Ex-Governor
Hagerman emanates from the office of
the Albuquerque morning paper,
which is making desperate effort to
save Hagerman's official neck, and in
cidentally it's own patronage.
"The fact is, the President of this
newspaper company holds an appoint
ment at Hagerman's hands, and the
city editor of the same paper has been
recently appointed by the late Cover
nor to the secretaryship of the Terri
torial Bureau Of immigration, at a
good salary.
with them it Is simply crying to
keep their pie.
Personally, have no quarrel with
Governor Hagerman, and there is no
reason why should oppose him. One
of the first appointments he made was
my appointment as Judge advocate
general Of the Territory.
"The statement that Hagerman's re-
moval has been brought about by mis-
representation and by President

the direction from others above me.
"The situation In New Mexico. so

statement that unfortunately he has
made a failure, and, may add largely
through the fault of irresponsible ad-
visOrs.

"The President, The Secretary of the
Interior and the attorney general have
carefully considered and passed upon
the record made by Hagerman and
their findings are against the Cover.
nor. The conclusions arrived at are
not based upon the charges made by
me, but upon Governor Hagerman's
record, and his fool friends in New
Mexico are making themselves ridicu
lous by endeavoring to have some
thing undone which is already passed
upon
"Hagerman is out and Curry is in
and all frantic and hysterical efforts
to the contrary are very amusing and
too silly to talk about.
''In the past few days the President
has been deluged with telegrams con
graduating him on Curry's appoint
ment, sent from every county and
town in the Territory, by bankers
