santa Fe.. n. NJ, Dec. 5.-As fore
casted by your correspondent on Sum

determined TO remain in his present
position as district attorney at Albu-
querque and Governor Curry has ap-
pointed Mr.. James NJ. Hervey of Ros-
well to succeed Judge A. b. Fall as
attorney general of New Mexico.
Governor Curry rendered the posi-
ton of attorney general TO Mr.. Clan
cy Immediately on his return from
Washington early last week and the
matter has been under consideration
since that time. A lumber Of on
siderations entered into Mr.. Clancy's
position and these were given care
full attention by the governor at a
number of conferences with Mr..
Clancy. II is understood that the gov
ernor finally determined that i'm view
Of local conditions in Bernalillo
county and the district il was better
to leave Mr.. CLANCY in his present po-
%sition. this being understood to have
been also Mr.. Claney's view of the
matter. 1t is well known TO those IN
close touch with the matter hat Mr.,
Clancy's determination 10 remain in
his present position was reached only
after several conferences with The
governor, at which the matter was
carefully ~canvassed and at which a
thorough understanding was reached.
The appointment Of Mr.. Hervey to
the chief law office Of the territory
will be very generally approved. Mr..
Heryey, although a young man, has

terms as district attorney of the
chaves-Eddy county district with sig

private practice and is recognized as
one of the leaders Of the younger
members of the territorial bar.
Mr.. Hervey. IL Is understood. has
signified his willingness to assume the
duties of the office and was notified
of his appointment by wire today. lie
Is expected to come to Santa Re at
once to assume the office. which.

FAVROT INDICTED.

From Baton Rouge comes the state
rnent of surprise over the indictment of
George K. Favrot for the murder of Dr.
r. H. Aldrich, on the evening of No
sember 7 of last year. i'll the Raymond
building in the Capital City of this State
This expression of surprise is natural
for the reason srat ii was not believed
possible to secure an Indictment Of a
man, so prominent as Favrot. who was
Judge of the district court and con
gressman-elect. and whose friends as
well as himself pleaded extenuation and
justification through the ''unwritten
law or the higher law which is shield
of protection against the slayer of the
man who would traduce the character of
a virtuous woman, particularly if that
woman be the mother. wife or daughter
of the avenger
From the indictment, which was
reached and approved by nine OF
twelve of the grand jurors, it would
seem that the implied vindication of
Judge Favrot, in numbering his friend
Is untenable, and the testimony as to the
murder left no alternative to the grand
jury
1t is rule, with rare exceptions, that
grand juries do not indict unless there
be ample proof to sustain the bills when
TRIED by a petit jury. and it is equally
true that in cases Of men of prominence
the grand as well as the petit Jurors are
inclined to leniency.
The indictment of Judge Favrot is
significant, and he may not escape the
clutches of the law as easily as he and
his friends anticipate.
The same law and justice which is
meted out to ordinary mortals of limited
or no influence, should be applied to the
Judge or the banker without exemption
or exception signalized by his political
or financial standing
The trial of Judge Favrot by a jury of
his peers will be watched with absorbing
interest
