MORA COUNTY COURT FUNDS
ENDANGERED BY BAD ciTL
zENs NEAR ROY.

The Mora county court officials
and juries crowded a vast amount Of
work into single week, adjourning
Saturday, the size of the court fund
making it necessary to hold for no
more than six days.
Five convictions were secured in
criminal cases. Albert King. of Wag-
on Mound, pleaded guilty to charge
of an assault on a brakeman with a
deadly weapon, and also pleaded
guilty to charge of flourishing
deadly weapons on another occasion.
Sentence was suspended in this case.
Francisco Martinez and Andres Leal
were, tried before jury and found
guilty Of stealing and killing calf.
VIM. j. Lucas was appointed by the
court for the defense. The defend
ants were given year each in the
lpenitentiary.
Jose Jiron pleaded guilty to draw
ling and flourishing a pistol. AS he
h had already been in Jail for eight
months, Judge Mills, while sentencing
him to six additional months, suspen-
Ided sentence during good behavior.
The greatest interest Of the week
centered about the trial of John
Beckman for rape upon the imbecfle
daughter of George Morris. The
prosecution succeeded in having the
testimony of the imbecile girl heard
by the jury, over the strenuous OBJ
jections of the defense After hear
ing all the testimony, however, the
court after presentation of volumi-
nous authorities by the attorneys,
ruled that the girls evidence had not
been sufficiently corroborated to war
rant a verdict of guilty, and he
therefore instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict of not guilty The de-
fense was conducted by Moore & Lee
of Tucumcari.
Antonio Martinez and Jose Con
zales, who at the last session, had
been recognized by the court to ap.
pear as witnesses in the case of the
Territory VS.. Pedro Romero, accused
of murder, failed to put in an ap-
pearance and the court ordered an at
tachment issued for them. Owing to
the absence of these material wit
nesses, the trial of this case was
postponed until next term Of court.
An indictment was found charging
Joseph Melugin with the murder OF
Daniel Archuleta at Solano. N. M.
Messrs. Bunker & Lucas for Melugin,
made an application for change OF
venue to Union or Colfax counties,
which the court has under considera-
tion.
Several appeal cases and consid-
cradle number of civil cases were dis
posed of, the court finding it neces-
sary several times to hold night ses
sions. The criminal docket is almost
entirely cleared of old cases.
In the case of Territory VS.. Pablo
Branch, who was indicted for steal
ing from the F7oersheim warehouse
at Roy, the defense secured contin-
uance.
