One thousand dollars or II months at
the stockade was the sentence passed
by Judge Calhoun Tuesday morning on
Nellie Dunlap, a negress, convicted of
violating the prohibition law.
The woman had been. previously tried
before the recorder and sent to the stock
ade, and Attorney Robert Pitman had
filed q sensational certiorari in that for
mer case alleging that the house had
been broken into by the window without
warrant and searched without warrant
and that the whole procedure had bAen
violation of law. The certiorari has tot
yet been heard.
Police Officers Anderson and Williams
and Sergeant w. P. Reid testified that :
bottles of what appeared to be beer and
two quart bottles of whisky and a lot of
empty jugs and bottles smelling of whis-
ky had been found hidden in and near
the house.
You'll be hanged some day, boy"
was the solemn warning of Recorder
Broyles Tuesday morning to John Cole
man, aged II years. a diminutive negro
charged with sticking a knife into the
back of his playmate, Warren Jennings.

who merely elevated his eyebrows
slightly, and said "Yassir?" with an IN

cism regarding the accuracy of the re-
corder's prophecy.

week. the New Mexico supreme court
adjourned late last evening until jan

counts on the charge of altering a
document in connection with the tax

case has been hanging fire for almost

Continuances have from time to ti11e
been granted and every effort made
to get it off the dockets but without
success. Great influence was brought
to bear to save Sena from prison
sentence. The convicted man is a
