Of efficiency in Office Of District

place:
With the conviction Of A. b.
Smith, alias w. +. Dashley, for
murder in the first degree, the
gang Of bad men responsible for
the death Of the late Sheriff
Dwight b. Stephens has all been
brought to justice, which serves
a a notice, in a general way,
tnat jail breaking is a risky
business in Luna county.
Deming Jail delivery occurred
February goth, 1916, upon which
occasion Joe Cranson, Francis
Acosta, G. Schmitt. j. O. Starr
and A. b. Smith alias w. f.
Dashley, made their escape.
Sheriff Stephens organized a

dress, giving account of the
prohibition legis alton enacted by

The meeting was marked by
complete harmony and every one
was enthusiastic, and manifested
in action rather than words,
their fixed determination to do
all in their power to abolish the
Liquor Traffic.
A committee was elected for
each of the 16 voting precincts
also a permanent committee for
the county at large. The last
named committee has the follow
ing Offices, Clarence SpenceC Chair
man, DR.. r. L. Blaney, Secretary
and F. j. Sager, Treasurer.
The committee for Precinct Ia

sheriff Felipe Lucero and his
aides, al but Dashley were in a
fair way TO get what was coming
to them.
Cranson was killed in the fight
Acosto was caught and sent TO
the pen for 20 to 30 years,
Schmidt was convicted and Civ
en- 80 years, Starr was likewise
convicted and sentenced to hang
his case now being reviewed by
the supreme court, which will
only result in a stay of execution
and now Dashly, who six months
after the largely was captured
by Chief Police, j. ID. Hillhouse
at Reno, Nevada, Sheriff Simp-
son tracing him to that point by
handwriting detective work, has
been found guilty of murder in
the last degree IN Judge Medler's
court at Las Cruces, thanks to
the splendid work of Sheriff
Felipe Lucero and his deputies,
the efficient, faithful service Of
District Attorney II. b. Hamilton
and the fairness of the jury that
rend I'd the We rdict.
Ju re Medler's charge was
one Of the ablest and most COM
prehensive ever heard in that
court, and it is certain that Mr..
Hamilton's closing plea, when he
pictured D~ashley's vile career,
eliminating in the murder Of
the best police officers in New
Mexico, was a court scene long
to be remembered.
