A Mexican named Rios, while
working in a cinder pit at the

caught between two cinder cars and
almost instantly killed. He had
Just left the pit and was riding on
a cinder car, and while passing
some cars on the opposite track was
ierked from his seat, pinning him
between the cars and MASKING his
body almost into a Jelly. The re-
mains were brought to town by
Marshal Cadger and placed in
Koch's undertaking parlors to
await the arrival OF a brother from
Alamogordo who came up Thurs
day and took charge of the body.

pleted the panel was exhausted,
and a special venire had to be sum-
moned. The trial of the cause was
entered upon on Monday morning
and the case went to the jury at
1920 p. NJ, October 2oth.
The appearances for the Terri
tory were Messrs John A. Pace
and Edward L. Wright, District
Attorney, and for the defense,
Messrs Chas. c. Davidson, J. T..
Wharton and Judge +. V. Long.
Marie Moore, witness for the
Territory, first took the stand and
told the story of the tragedy which
resulted in the death of Blanche
Hudson, the indictment of Ruby
Estes for murder.
She told her story without hesi-
itation or confusion and met the
severe cross examination and rapid
fire of questioning of the defend
ant,s counsel, Chas. c. Davidson,
with alertness and self-possession
Marie Moore was the only eye wit
ness who testified to the killing o
Blanche Hudson, except the de
fendant, and the whole case resteC

be tried at the present criminal
term, and was found guilty, after a
short deliberation OF the jury, Of
burglariously breaking and enter
ing with intent to commit felony,
the cold storage plant and ware
house of w. b. FARRELL on the goth
of September. He was found with
the goods" and the Territory had
a clear case against him. He had
partaken too freely Of farrell S
"H;ghlife," which he had appro-
priated from the warehouse and
dedicated to his own use; the
"Highlife" was too much for him!
Next morning he was found in a
state of intoXication with the empty
bottles about him, the goods in"
and about him; as the District At
torney said in making his argue
ment.
The jury recommended the lem
iency OF the Court. Sentence has
not been passed.
A large number OF true bills were
returned by the grand Jury for
breaking the Sunday Law, and for
gambling without license. a num-

upon the credibility of the two wit
nesses. The story told by Marie
Moore was far different from that
told by the defendant.
Marie Moore testified in part
substantially as follows:
Ruby Estes and the deceased
were inmates on July 5th, 1906, of
the Red Light Saloon and resort,
OF which Marie Moore is proprie-
tress. That on the day of the kill
ing Ruby and Blanche had appear
ed friendly and had been over to
town together most of the day;
that they returned together and APP
peared to be in a good humor,
laughing and talking, duly sober;
that they had had some words and
difficulty over other girls being in
tmate with the defendants hus-

heard talking and quarreling be-
tween defendant and deceased.
and went to the room of Blanche
Hudson where the two were; that
she sat down on a trunk near the
door, and that Blanche Hudson
took seat beside her on the trunk;
that Ruby Estes stood in the door
way, and that she, (Marie Moore)
was between the defendant and the
deceased; that when she went in the
quarrel was continued that she
went in to pacify them; that she
did not think it would be ANYTHING
more than a hair pulling; that
Ruby, with a jealous accusation
against the deceased, which was
the cause of the whole matter,
reached across the witness, (Marie
Moore), and began to strike at
Blanche; that Blanche got upon
her feet, and took hold of defend
ant with both hands, one hand at
her throat, and one hand at her
breast; that Blanche Hudson had
no weapon, and made no assault

Many True Bills Returned and
Quay County Has Her First
Conviction by Jury Trial.

The Wheels OF Justice have been
grinding very fine since the con-
vening Of the District Court for
Quay county on the 2Ist of Octo-

first jnry conviction, and the grand
jury has returned in the neighbor-
hood of seventy true bills.

and were given the minimum fine
and costs by the Court, with the
understanding that if the offense
was repeated, in the next case the
penalty would be much more severe
Several OF these cases have been
set for hearing.
Julia Salas plead guilty of lar
ceny and was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary.
Robert Bell, a boy about twenty
one years of age, plead guilty OF
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and was sentenced to nine
months OF hard labor at Santa Fe.
1t was his first offense, and his
youth, the story of a young wife
who is here with him, and his pen
itent demcanor no doubt invoked
the pity and leniency OF the Court.

JEROME WORRIES THEM
Rocetrack Gamblers Fear NezC Cam
paign-Jockey Club indifferent.

The announcement Of District Attorney Je-
romes plan to begin an energetic campaign
against racetrack betting IN New York State
by having introduced in the Legislature an
amendment to the Percy-Gray law was re-
ceived with calm Indifference yesterday by
members Of the Jockey Club
The Jockey Club has maintained always that
ii has no interest IN the gambling phase OF the
thoroughbred sport, its contention being that
the sole mission of the club to encourage
the breeding and the racing Of blOoded horses.
A member Of the club said yesterday:
I'VE have no personal interest in Mr. Jerome 3
campaign at Albany We have no connection
with the betting feature of horseracing. We
have to do only with the sportsman's interest
in thoroughbreds. While it is true that a large
majority of racegoers are more Interested in the
betting than in the sport. you can say that
whatever the outcome Of this agitation the rae
ing will go right on Snd the spring and summer
meetings will be held as scheduled"
While the foregoing may be taken the
Jockey Clubs official view, the position Of the
different racing associations is not the same.
These bodies draw large revenues from the
bookmakers, and without their contributions and
with the probable diminished number of spec
tators they might be affected seriously. Hereto
fore the track bookmakers and the poOroom
men in counties outside OF New York County
have felt safe from the raids of District Attor-
ney Jerome. To them his purpose to bring about
legislation that will include them an un-
pleasant surprise 1t is the belief that although
the District Attorneys motive in trying to stamp
out gambling throughout the state Is entirely
sincere, he is anxious to have the amendment to
the Percy-Gray law passed for the primary
son that 1t will strengthen his position against
the poolroems in his jurisdiction. If racetrack
gambling is done away with, II is believed that
the profitable operation Of poolrooms would be
impossible
The Methodist Preachers meeting at No $50
Fifth avenue yesterday passed a resolution com
mending the efforts of District Attorney Jerome
TO secure the passage of an act to make race
track gambling felony. A committee composed
