THE MARTINEZ CASE.
Mexican Is Dead and Police Rearrest.
ed Taylor and Looking for Gay.

G. NJ. Taylor. who was held a few
days by the police who thought that
he shot Merci Martinez, the Mexican
who died at St Francis hospital last
Monday afternoon, has been rearrest-
ed and the police are inclined to be-
neve that he fired the fatal shot, or at
least is an accomplice. He and Oscar
Gay were arrested a week ago last
Friday night and Immediately after
the shooting, but the police have been
unable to determine which of the diff
ferent stories which have been told
them to believe, but they are inclined
to believe that Taylor did the shoot
ing.
Merci Martinez was a victim of cir
cumstances, according to the story
told by him and brother Mexican, An
tonic Aguillero. Both told the same
story to the officers Immediately after
the shooting and again after being
taken to the police station. According
to the story, upon which they agree,
Aguillero owed Taylor between $40
and $40 on a grocery bill and for other
stuff purchased at Taylor's store,
which is located on the southwest cor
ner of First and Jefferson streets. On
account of this debt, Taylor began
Quarreling with Aguillero and threat
end him with violence. It is claimed
that Aguillero talked back and quar-
relied with Taylor and the latter final
ly shot at him but missed tie mark
and the bullet struck Martinez in the
neck. It come out at the bottom of
his clothing when they were giving
him medical attention at the police
station.
Taylor denies the shooting and says
that the shot was fired by some per-
son who was behind him. A white
woman, who is a friend of Oscar Gay,
a negro, who was held for several days,
walked up in the crowd as the shot
was fired and approached the negro.
She stated to the officers that she does
not know who did the shooting but
does not think that Oscar Gay did it.
Taylor was rearreSted Monday after
noon and was taken to the county jail.
The county attorneys office will not
permit his friends or any person to
talk with him for time. Oscar Gay
will be picked up as soon as the officers
can find him. The white woman will
also be questioned and the officers be-
1ieve that they will have but little
trouble in learning the facts in the
case.
Coroner H. w. Bomgardner an
nour ced today that an inquest over the (
body of Merci Martinez would be held |
Wedn esday or Thursday.
