COUNTY OFFICERS
SUSPENDED

Sixth Judicial district arrive
here on the evening train Satur
day and held a night session o
court, disposing of the prelimin
ary investigation in the cas-
against the county commission
ers and the county clerk.
All were suspended from office
pending the trial of the cases
which we understand will be al
Carrizozo in March.
None of the defendants had at.
torneys, claiming that they coulG
not get their attorneys here, af-
ter it was known when a judge
would be here, in time to go to
trial Saturday night.
But one of the county commits
sioners, Librado Valencia, was
present, and no defense was
made IN their cases.
The evidence presented was in
regard to the transfer of funds
drawing warrants on the court
house and Jail fund for bills not
properly chargeable to that fund;
failure on several occasions to
have proceedings of the board
published within the time speci-
fled by law; failure to have made
and published an annual state
ment of the finances of the eoun-
ty as required by law; allowing
petitioners in two certain cases
to pay the expense of a special
meeting of the board held to con-
slider their petitions; failure to
allow certain bills filed by the
sheriff; and perhaps some ether
things of a similar nature.
In the case of County Clerk
Gallegos, the defendant himself |
conducted a defense. He nan
died the case well, and apparent
ly succeeded in neutralizing all
testimony introduced against him
except in the matter of mistakes
made by his deputies il record
ing instruments. The testimo-
ny introduced was, as to these
mistakes; in the matter of declin-
ing to issue an alias warrant
asked for by the sheriff; in the
matter of discourteous treat
ment Of Fred H. Ayers, attor-
ney; in the matter of his appoint
laent, in connection with the
resignation of Manuel Sanchez,
Jr.; and testimony by Manuel
Jr., to the effect that
he had paid to the defendant va.
rious sums of money for the pur-
pose Of securing the allowance
Of bills by the county commits
sioners. In the matter of the
alias warran it'll
was shown that it was asked for
IN a case which had been
dropped from the docket with
cave to reinstate, and the de-
tendant doubted his right to is
,ue it, that the district attorney
old him he was right in declin.
ng to issue the warrant, and
hat it was afterward issued un-
Ter instructions of the judge,
In the Fred H. Ayers matter,
Mr.. Ayers stated the occurrenc- {
IS in which some heated Ian
zuage was used by Gallegos,
who afterward apologized, and
from whose statement at that
time it appeared that the witness
nad understood different Ian
xuage to have been used in part;
and the witness got what he

/ asked to be sworn, and denie
in toto the testimony given b.
Manuel Sanchez, Jr., and witt
the evident purpose of discredit
, ing the witness Sanchez, drew
from him the fact that he is now
serving a Jail sentence as a self
confessed solicitor of money foi
the purpose of fixing" a jury,
In the matter of mistakes in the
recording of instruments, it was
shown that the mistakes were
made by deputies, and that the
work done by the defendant him
self was neat and accurate. In
answer to a direct question, the
travelling auditor would not say
that the defendant is incompe,
tent except in the matter of hir-
ing deputies. A section Of law
was cited by the district attor-
ney which says that an officer
shall be held responsible for the
acts of his deputies. Judge Neb-
lett apparently based his decision
on this point alone, as he men
toned no other; but stated that
this is very grave matter, and
that trouble in regard to titles
may arise from such mistakes
years hence, when it will be
very difficult to cure defects.
The foregoing we believe to be
a substantially correct, though
brief, summary of these highly |
important proceedings, covering
the principal points brought out,
The suspension of these offic-
ers has precipitated a lively con-
test for appointment to fill the
places pending the final adjudi-
cation of the cases. The COVER
nor will appoint. If the sus-
pended officers are re-instated,
the appointees will hold until
such reinstatement, and the
will have to pay both sets
1f officers. II the suspended Of
icers are removed, the appoint
ees will hold until aftes the next
election.
