Testimony Of III. Blind.


Before the trial was half ended n
was apparent that most credence was
placed in the testimony for the de.
fendant.
'Fhat is because he has two blind
men testifying for him." said man
who has served on many juries,
when it comes to question Of MEM
DRY the word Of a blind man goes
further in courtroom than that Of q
person, with good eyes. It is with the
turymen that his testimony really
counts, but the Judge and lawyers are
also impressed. This is taking into
consideration, Of course. that the blind
man has reputation for veracity.
We assume that with the loss Of one
faculty others have developed. What
a man cannot see he hears, and his
mind stores up. Our faith in the re.
tentiveness Of a blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
a person with all his senses would be-
come confused and testify vaguely,
the blind man can repeat a CONVERSE
ton verbatim"

Nick Powers, Of Brockman, scared
Lordsburg up Monday night. He tel
ephoned up that armed Mexlcans,sup-
posed to be i%nsurrectos on a maudaud-
ing expedition, had been at Brock
man, and we're travelling north. He
said he had 10 two bands. In one
there were eight men, and in the
other there were three. They were
so close he had seen that one of them
wore a sword. The Muir ranch was
north OF Brockman, aud Mrs. Muir
was at the ranch with her daughter
and Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Muir being
away. Immediately Mrs. Muir's friends
began to worry for the safety of the
women, and a resculng expedition
was sent out, mounted on motor cars,
and armed with whatever was handy.
The three cars reached the ranch in
safety, and rescued the women and
children, none Of whom appeared to
be much worried oyer the invasion Of
the Mexican army, but did lot refuse
to be rescued. Next morning Deputy
Sheriff Nick Hughes went out on a
scouting expedition, and he was much
more lucky than Gen. Streeter's army
on the border, which has not been able
to catch an invader. Mr.. Hughes
captured the entire invading army,
and brought it to town. lie did not
have any trouble doing this, for he
had known the army for years. 1t
proved to be Jesus Relies and Manuel
Liones, Of Duncan. A few days ago
some thief got away with some horses
belonging to these men, and they had
trailed them to near the Mexican
border, when they met an American
they knew, who advised them to go
home, and let the horses go, as they
might get picked up by the soldiers or.
a line rider, and have more trouble
proving their identity than the
stock was worth. They accepted the
advice and started for Duncan. and II

TO the LIBERAL that the district at

he did not know what evidence there

witnesses we're. Often all there was
known was that a man was in Jail.
Many Of the justices who had COM
mltted men to jail to await the ac-

report about the case, and the dis
