.BLANCET1 GUILTY
OF FIRST DEGREE
MURDER, VERDICT
DEATH OF CLYDE ARN0UR
NOT ACCIDENTAL IS DECI-
SION OF JURY AFTER
HARDEST FOUGHT TRIAL
IN TWENTY YEARS

At LAO o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the jury in the Blancett case
returned a verdict of murder in the
first degree against Ebert Biancett
for the death of clyde Armour, on
October %, near Glorieta. Blancett
was the most self-possessed person
in the court room when the finding
was read In addition to the court
forty spectators, quite a contrast to
the other sessions when the court
room was crowded to the limit, were
present.
! 1t is understood that the case will
be appealed
1t was shortly after | o'clock that
the jury sent word to Deputy Sheriff
.Armijo that it had agreed on a verdict
and was ready to report. Word was
Immediately sent to Judge Abbott and
the court officials and they slowly
gathered at the court house.
The instructions of Judge E. {.
Abbott gave the jury the choice Of
convicting for either OF two degrees
of murder. or either of two degrees
of manslaughter, Or of acquittal.
This hardest fought murder trial
for years in New Mexico reached its
final stage when District Attorney
]. II. Crist launched into the final
argument in the states attempt to
fasten the alleged murder of Clyde
d. Armour on f. w. Blancett. Mr..
Crist. who asked for five hours to
close for the state. followed five
hours OF argument by defense co,1n
sci, and a previous three-hour ad-
dress by the assistant f. P.
Davies. Mr.. Crist scathingly attack
ed the character Of B,ancett as al
legged to be shown by his own evil
dence.
what do YOU want us to do with
this mani" he demanded, turn him
loose and start him out with a bunch
of decorations, a bottle of whiskey
and a shotgun"
The district attorney declared 10
witnesses were needed to attack the
character of Blancett, as he had
given his own character" during the
trial-a character which Mr.. Crist de-
clared was shown in his story Of
drinking, carousing and frequenting
gambling resorts and brothels. The
defendant, as all through the trial,
sat unmoved and apparently indlf-
ferent.
A. B. Renehan strove to drive home
to the jury his contention that it
was impossible for Blancett to have
deliberately planned and executed a
murder and left such a plain trial,
with no attempt to concea, the corpse
or make its Identification impossible.

you to produce some of those tricks
you do on the stage. What would
you do7" Ducrot commenced to
vaguely tell how he would proba-
bly, have to apologize for not being
prepared but before he had COM
pleted his little story Mr., Booster
saw Ducrot reach into his (the

pull out roses and ribbon by the
