JAMES DUNCAN, JR.,
WEDS MISS MURRAY

At 8 O'Clock last evening at the
home of tine brides parents, Judge
and Mrs. D. r. Murray. 71s Fifth
street. James Scott Duncan, Jr-, and
Miss Leah Georgia Murray. were join
ed in the holy bonds of matrimony-
The beautiful and impressive ring
service Of the Episcopal church was
used, Rev. J. S. Moore, rector of st.
Paurs Memorial church, officiating.
Only members of the immediate fam
lilies witnessed the ceremony.
The wedding of these popular
young people was intended as sur
prise on their friends. but this was
only partially successful, for yester-
day afternoon it was currently runor-
led that the marriage was to take
place. When quizzed about it by
their intimate friends. both young peo-
pie, it is said, gave the secret away.
This marriage is the elimination of
courtship extending over several
years, during part of which time the
groom, while a yeoman in the Uni
ted States navy, made tour of the
world. n.
The bride, who leyecnet with great
success as teacK in the public
schools of East Las Vegas, is beau
ltiful and charming girl. and a social
|favorite whose friends are legion. AS
for the groom. every0ne in this city

SHOW BELONGS ON
KEROSENE CIRCUIT

N Those Las vegans who were taken
I'M to the tune Of so cents. 75 cents
an 81 by last nights performances at
the Duncan oRera house certainly dts
played their sameness by not mob
bling the box office to get their money
back. AS 1t was good many OF the
audience took a sneak while the show
was in progress, unable to stick it out
so rank was the performance.
If, as Manager Duncan advertised
that this show made its appearance
lin Las Vegas under a heavy guaran'
tee. that guarantee must have been
that they would not inf1ict their pres
ence upon the local public again. To
quote again from the paid advertise
|ment of the show that Manager
~. G. Wilson has consented with lot
of urging on the part of Manager
Duncan to stop over here on their
way to Denver, The Optic will only
say that it must have required not
only urging on the part of the local
management. but monumental nerve
on the par. of the transformers 70
risk Drawing the wrath of the theatre
goers here.
To sum Up. The show was rotten
except for the tuubling of Phil God
frey, which had some redeeming fea-
lures. If Godfrey had left his team
mate out ci it, it would have been
better, for the team mate was no
vice at the business. AS for the 9TH
ers artists" the less said about them
the better, lest any roasting of them
might construed as advertising.
If as claimed the show played an
eleven nights engagement in Albu-
querque, then the people of that city
are easier by good deal than are
,s.Las Vegas. Even a Sc
oond nights engagement here of this
troupe might be good cause for call
ing out Troop A. on special orders.
It is said that the members ofNthe
aggregation wanted to stay over an
other evening, but were informed by
the local management that 1t would
be extremely impolite for them to in
f1ict their ;resence upon the public
again, that IS if their audience should
happen to be anybody but the stage
hands and iishers.

At the conclusion of the testimony
of Leandro Romero yesterday after
noon. in the Teitlebaum murder tria
now before the district court ir
which he d3tailed the manner in which
John H. Teitlebaum was killed by him
self, Estevan Dominguez and David En-
cinias, on February 18th 1908, in his
little store in the town of Tecolote,
and attempted in his statement to
implicate the young widow of Teitle-
baum, as an accessory before the fact,
by stating that she had promised
him on three occasions to marry him,
If the "old man" was out of the way,
the territory attempted to corroborate
these statements of Romero, by intro-
ducing evidence to prove that Rome
70 and the wife of Teitlebaum were
often seen together in the store and
in various other places in the Teco-
IDte plaza, as a corroborating cir
cumstance to sustain the statement of
Romero as to intimacy between him
self and the defendant. 1t being the
law in this territory that an accused |
person cannot be convicted upon the /
nncorreborated testimony of Cocoon
siprator or co-defendant, there must
be other proof against the accused,
than the bare. uncorroborated state
ment of an accomplice, before a con-
viction can be had.
Saw Defendant Making Love.
The first witness on this point in
troduced was Desiderio Martinez,
who stated that he was thirty-nine
years old, and had lived at Tecolote
ali his life. That he knew Leandro
Romero. John H. Teitlebaum and
Mrs. Teitlebaum during the time they /
lived at the town Of Tecolote; that
in November 1907. he entered the |
store Of Teitlebaum. between ten and |
eleven o'clock in the morning and as
he entered the door he saw Romero
and Mrs. Teitlebaum behind the
counter embracing each other; that
upon his entering the store, the de-
fendant left Romero and went into
her house which adjoined the store.
That no remark was made about this
by him. and after he had made some
m,rchases he left the store. This wit
ness was not cross-examined by At

fense. :

criminals can be employed on farm
with advantage to themselves and the

the penitentiary who are not con

state farm. 1T is the conditions of
our cities that breed crime says the

TO idleness and drink, and idleness is
frequently the cause of drink. There
