Trinidad, Colo, Dec. S.-Surrounded
in the hills, and facing death from
starvation and exposure and fearing
capture and lynching, Francisco Mar
tlncz, who last Wednesday killed Cas-
mo Garcia and three members of his
family on his ranch, eighty-five miles
southeast of Trinidad and abducted
Garcia's daughter Maggie, shot the
girl dead and committed suicide sun
day night in Pentala canyon, where
he had been penned by posse.
The members of the posse brought
the body of Maggie Garcia to the
house where the other members of
her family had been murdered, but
left Martinez's body at the spot where
he killed the girl and himself
The condition of the girls body
proves beyond doubt that she re-
sisted the fiend to the last. Her cloth
ing was torn until it hung in rags;
her body was cut and bruised in doz-
ems of places and even her shoes We're
torn and cut ana blood marked her
trail. 1t was the crimson footprints
of the girl which led the pursuers at
last to the two bodies.
For four days ana five nights the
girl had been in the hands of the
1icnd who murdered her family, and
during that time the pair had nothing
to eat but one loaf of bread, which
Martinez secured on Saturday after
noon at ranch They had covered
only tWenty-six miles from the scene
of the murders, but they must have
walked several times that distance to
elude pursuit
Under Sheriff Kruger learned While !
investigating the Garcia murders that
Martinez, who came originally from |
Mexico, had boastcd that he had |
killed twenty-five men. and declared |
that he expected to kill as many more |
before he died.
