Friday evening by Pete Garcia. Both
men were members of the section gang
stationed at Glencoe where the accident
occurred. The men had a small rifle
with them Friday to shoot rabbits and
when.they returned from work in the
evening the gun was taken into the
house and placed behind the door.
Later in the evening Garcia picked it
up to clean it and in order to be certain
that it wasn't loaded pointed out of the
door and pulled the tricker. Dasuez
was in the yard short distance from
the house and the bullet entered the
back of his head killing him almost
instantly. The remains were brought
to this place Friday night, and were
shipped Monday to New Mexico.

Of humanity. has already been ample punishment
for the past that he took in this unfortunate af-
fair.
Wherefore he earnestly prays that Your Excel
lency to grant him a pardon, assuring your Ex-
c~ellency that it shall be his endeavor. in the future
to avoid bac company, to live a virtuous life and
to make a useful citiven.
Respectfully submitted,
ADDISON SCOTT.

for the part that he took in this crime. we join in
asking Your Excellency to grant the pardon asked
for. Respectfully submitted.
