When Hewitt Helped to kiII-To be
accused to helping to kill a man is
a very serious matter, yet neverthe-
less that is what once happened to
John Y. Hewitt, member of the Coun-
Gil. Hewitt, some years ago, went to
Alamogordo to try a case before Judge
E. A. Mann. Judge Sherry, resi-
dent and prominent attorney Of that
town. was assisting him in the case.
Preceding the trial of the case, Judge
Sherry took occasion to introduce
Hewitt to Judge Mann and nearly
took both Hewitt and Mann off Of
their feet when he stated, Hewitt,
here, once helped me and others to
kill a man back in the 70's." Judge
Mann, SO the story goes, bore most
puzzled expression which was only
displaced when Sherry went on to
explain that back in 1872. he ami
Hewitt were delegates to the conven-
tion held in Cincinnati, which nomi-
mated Horace Greedy for the presi-
dency. Thus" said Sherry, ''you can
understand how we helped kill man,
for it is commonly known that Gree
ly grieved SO much over his defeat,
that his grief soon caused his death
Had we not nominated him, he prob
ably would not have died SO soon.
