 Mrs. Peralta is confined in the coun. ty jail nere. She wcpt when told that the boy was dead.

He told me that he would ruin my daughter if he had to tear down the four walls of the house. shot in de. fcnsc of my daughter anl my nome. There were four men in the yard. I think, when l went out with the gun. They all ran as I fired, and Padilla was shot.'
 The case is one of the most unusual and pitiful in the annals of this coun. ty. Mrs. Pcralta is between GO and 70 years of age.
 She does not speak English well, but she talked with n Journal.Min cor. respondent at the jail today.
 As nearly as could be learned from her statement, several young men have been annoying her daughtcr-a girl about IS years of age.
 The first that Mrs. Pcralta learned of the affair, was when her daughter complained to her about the actions of the young men. Then the young men began coming to the girls win. dow at night nnd trying to speak with her. Mrs. Pcralta said that she repeat. edly warned them that they would get hurt If they continued to annoy her daughter. It was then, snc says. that one young man by the name of Con. gales made the statement given above.
 Mrs. Pcralta. finding that warnings were ineffective, prepared to protect her home, and placed n loaded gun within easy reach. The shooting was the result.
