 KILLING

After successfully eluding capture since July 12, 1910. when he shot and killed C. Miranda, in CordOva's sa- loon at Humboldt, Barulio Pisanio quietly entered the shelter town Wednesday night and surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Fred Campbell. ad- hitting the killing and stating that it was done in self defense. Yester- day he was brought to the city and hearing was conducted before Judge MeLane. The shooting was rehearsed in all its phases, several eye wit nesses testifying, and what appeared to be a justifiable act was establish ed, when he was given his freedom, on the recommendation of District Attorney H. D. Ross. Pisanio gave as his reason for leaving the country immediately after the killing, as due to fear of the brother of the man he killed in self defense, and several friends of Miranda. He went to the eastern part of the territory, where he was in seclusion for several months. Later he was in New Mex leo and for a short time was with relatives in Mexico. He gave a clear statement of the killing from begin ming to end, which was cOrroborated by three eye witnesses and others who were present in the room at the time, but who were not called to the witness stand. In view of the fact that the accused voluntarily returned, and after it was proven that his life that night was in jeopardy, had not he killed Miranda, he was given his freedom. He enjoys a good reputa- tion in this section and with friends will return to Humboldt today.

 Harry Brisley, former member of the guard, pledged his support and told of the real good which he felt he had derived from his enlistment in the local company.
 LeRoy Anderson, who had charge of the meeting proposed the motion that, "the business men of Prescott assure the local company of their support, both financial and social, in so far as they might possibly grant it." This motion passed without a dissenting vote.
 Captain Coykendall said that he believed rifle practice would he an incentive for young men to enlist
 Col Tillson, United States army, was then called upon and in a stir ring speech told of the glory, honor and profit to be gained by joining the National Guard.

 MT. Morrison, previous to coming to Santa Fe to reside, was a public man of prominence, and on the poli- tieal stump was regarded as a fear less and intelligent orator, winning the good will of those who opposed him for his sincerity and honesty. Shortly after his arrival in New Mexico over thirty years ago he was appointed United States marshal by President. Arthur. Later the office of Register of the United States Land Office was tendered him and accept ed. His splendid official record lat CT was rewarded by the appointment as Internal Revenue Collector of New Mexico and Arizona. In all his pub lie service to the country not a blemish mars his record and his name is beyond the intimation of suspicion in the wide range of off eial positions he has filled.
 At his advanced age, a remarkable and pleasant feature of his long life is his wonderful physical and mental vigOr. He is as agile today as forty years ago while his versatility re- mains undisturbed and is, if any thing, keener than ever. He is at present engaged in historical literary work, and his reeOlleetiOns of mem- orable events of three score years ago, is attracting attention through out the nation. As he speeds on to the century goal, he is followed by the good will of his hosts of friends here as well as elsewhere.
