which has caused So much contrOyer-
sy between government officials and
d'sUllers as to whether whisky and

partment of agriculture.
II also was decided that Bourbon
whisky can only be made i'm the state

of Chaperito, who was murdered
Tuesday night by two men, who sew
cred his head with an axe in the
presence of his daughter. officers to-
day placed under arrest Elogio Mar
quez, a brother in law of the dead
man.
Barros was a member of the Peni-
tentes, a religious sect, and just a
few days before his death he called
members of the order together at his
house for a conference. During this
meeting, which took place three days
previous to the murder. he said to his
fellow members of the order: "If
am killed go get Marquee. He told
me he would kill me-"
This statement was told to the Of
ficers today by members of the relig-
iCus sect, who were present when
Barros made it, and acting at once
the officers arrested Marquee.
He was brought to Las Vegas and
placed in Jail here. He denied knowl-
edge of the murder, but weeps all the
time, repeating again and again as
he sits in his cell. Il know nothing
about it."
Marquee Is still wearing the clothes
which IL is presumed he wore the
night of the murder, and which add
to the belief of his guilt. The socks
and underclothing are soaked with
blood, mute testimony of his COM
plicity in the brutal murder of a kins-
man.
Wearing these clothes he attended
the funeral of his murdered brother
in-law and wept bitterly at the bier,
bemoaning the death of his relative.
Officers are still investigating the
murder at Chaperito, but with the ar
rest of Lucero yesterday and Marquee
today believe they have the two men
who committed the murder.
