CONFESSES MURDER
TO ESCAPE HANGING
David Martinez y Sanchez Admits the
Killing Of Miss TempIeton and
Gets 80 Years In Prison.

David Martinez Sanchez confessed
before Judge John r. McFie, Judge Of
the First judicial district, when his
case came up at Tierre Amarillo last
week, to the crime of numbering Miss
Jessie Templeton at Velarde, Novem.
Der 30, 1907, and was sentenced to the
territorial penltentiary for nlnety-nine
years.
Captain of Mounted Police Fred
Fornoff and officer John Collier made
the arrest. Captain Fornoff and Robert
c. Gortner district attorney, returned
from TERRA Amarillo Saturday even
Ing where they went to attend court.
Captain Fornoff stated that Sanchez
pleaded guilty In order to escape a
death sentence. His recital of the
crime has been recorded and signed
to be used against him if ever he or
his friends petition for a pardon.
According to his confession as was
told to a reporter for the New Mexl.
can by Captain Fornoff, who heard 1t
made, Sanchez broke into Miss Tenn
pleton's home and burglarlzed it.
While in the house he lost his pocket.
book which Miss Templeton found.
She told neighbor in the presence
of child who repeated what Miss
Templeton said at school. Miss TEN.
pleton made the statement that she
knew who burglarized her home and
that she intended to have the culprit
arrested.
Sanchez heard the story in the
Plaza at Velarde the night of NOvem-
ber 80 and he said he went to the TEN.
pleton home to get back his pocket
book. He came upon the woman and
thinking to settle the matter once and
for all whipped out pair of knucks
to which dagger was attached, and
using this as weapon killed the wo-
man by beating her over the head
He then took the pocketbook and left
and was arrested two days later. The
knucks and pocketbook were never
found although the officers searched
diligently for them.
Sanchez said that he was intoxicat'
ed at the time. This statement prov
ed to be true. He said that Miss Tenn
pleton, who conducted a store at Vel
arde, always had been his friend and
that he regretted having killed her.
He wept while making the confession.
Sanchez is of good family and be-
cause he was drunk at the time the
Judge would have been compelled to
instruct the jury, had one been drawn
that the murder was not premedItated.
Five prisoners, accused Of selling
liquor to Indians, pleaded guilty and
were given sentences, and Jose Miguel
Montana was adjudged guilty of steal
ing horses and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary. The Grimm
al cases, that promised to be exciting
were disposed of easily and in much
shorter time than anticipated.

SPLIT IN CONVENTION
Rival Delegations Selected
From Denver County,.
Fractional Fight.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, June 15.--
The Democratic state convention met
here today to choose ten delegates to
the national convention. No opposition
has developed to the resolutions in
structing the national delegates for W.
]. Bryan for president, but contesting
delegations are sent from Denver
county, one headed by Mayor Robert
W. Speer and the other by Thomas M.
Patterson, former United States sen.
ator
scorn Compromise.
Much bitterness exists between the
two factions and the speer men have
rejected all overtures for compro.
mise. At a caucus Of the Speer dele.
gates it was decided that w. H. H.
Adams, state senator from Conejos
county should be temporary chairman
of the convention. This selection will
not be opposed by the Patterson dele
gates.
Speer Forces Gain Partial Victory.
State Chairman Milton Smith called
the convention to order and announc-
cd that the Speer delegation had been
seated on the temporary roll call. w.
H. Adams was chosen temporary chair
man and Thomas F. Dillon, Of Denver.
temporary secretary, without opposi-
tlon. The committees were then ap.
pointed.
Senator Patterson and Ben Hilliard
OF the contesting Denver delegations
attempted to gain recognition for the
purpose Of stating their position but
were ruled out of order by the chair.
The convention then adjourned until
2 p. IN.

BIG AUDITORIUM
NEARING COMPLETION
Territorial Secretary Nathan Jaffa
Says Denver's Coliseum viii Be
Ready for Convention.

Denver's new convention hall will
be completed or near enough so in
time for the Democratic national con-
ventlon to select candidates for the
presidency and vice.presidency. Such
was the information Territorial Secre-
tary Nathan Jaffa gave out on his re-
turn from Denver last week. Secretary
Jaffa says that the hall will be an
imposing and grand structure and a
credit to the Capital City of Colorado.
1t was the undivided opinion of all
with whom he conversed at Denver
that W. J. Bryan would be the choice
of the Democrats for president
There is very little speculation con
cerning the candidate for vice presi-
dent. Denver Democrats do not think
that Governor Johnson will have
much Of show in the convention.
The political situation in Denver is
rather mixed, stated Mr. Jaffa. Many
Republicans sided with Mayor Speer
in the recent city campaign and this
elected him. Mayor Speer's popular
ity is because of the strides CONNER
cially Denver has made in the past
two years and because of the munich.
pal improvements agitated and carried
out by the popular mayor.
Secretary Jaffa says that party lines
in Denver municipal politics were al
most obliterated in the recent cam
paign as may be shown by the result
of the election. Denver is a Republi.
san city under normal conditions and
the election of a Democratic mayor
shows that politics was lost sight of in
the fight for clean government.
