ing 1t in Corral.

The territorial mounted police, after
an investigation extending several
months, have placed under arrest and
brought to Santa Fe for preliminary
hearing before Judge John r. McFie,
Berence Maestas, her unmarried Sis
ter Amalia Maestas and her mlrried
sister, Candelaria Rodriguez, who live
in little settlement between Espan-
ola and Santa Cruz in Santa Fe
county. DR.. ]. L. Murphy of Espanola
is here at the same time to appear as
principal witness against the women
who are accused of strangling to
death the illegitimate child of Beren-
ice Maestas. According to him, in Oc.
tober of last year he was approached
by the mother of the child with the re-
quest that he give her some medicine
to kill te baby, healthy boy. Of
course, Doctor Murphy Indignantly
refused and gave the woman severe
lecture. On Saturday of the same
week the boy disappeared and report
was made to the court officials who
referred the case to the district at
tornoy and territorial mounted police
for Investigation. Mounted Policeman
Rafael Gomez and Game Warden W.
e. Griffin made several trips to Es-
panoa to discover the whereabouts of
the child, but were informed that it
| had been given to man who went
to Colorado with it. Recently, Gomez
learned that the child was buried in
corral near the Maestas home and
he had it disinterred. DR.. J. l.. Muir
ply held an autopsy, and, according
to report, found that the child had not
only contusions on it's head, but that
it had been strangled.
| A coroner's iurE however, which
was summoned, found that the child
had died natural death. Thereupon
further steps were taken to bring the
matter before the proper officials
|
with the result that the three women
have been arrested.
According to Captain Fred Fornofl
| of the mounted police, this may not
be the only case of child murder in
| that section. for reports have come
to him at several times of similar
dence. Recently, so he was told ar
illegitimate child was taken to the
| Pueblo cemetery at San lldefonso
| there to be buried, but the Indians in
| terfered and took the child away, and
strange to say, the child is still living
having been adopted by the Indians
Captain Fornoff is taking steps to in
vestigate this story.
