NDGU|LTYOf MURDER
Pete. the Gambler" DemIng Mexican
Convicted Of Killing Fellow
Mexican Last Fs5.r.sy
Murderer Took Refuge In Mexico But
Clever Stalking by Sheriff
Simpson Got Him

Pedro Gonzales. better known among
his associates as pete, the Gambler y
was found guilty Of second-degree mur.
der In the district court yesterday. The
charge against him was the killing Of
Daminn Gonzales In Deming last Feb.
ruary. His sentence will be pronounced
later In the term by Judge Ryan.
The circumstances Of the Gonzales
killing were about as follows: Damian
Gonzales, who despite the name Is no
relation OF Pedro, was shot In the back
one night just as he was entering his
home, and died few hours afterward.
He. was conscious long enough 10 tell
his brother that Pete, the gambler,
did IT," and the officers. acting ON the
tip, found that Pedro had made him
self very scarce. II developed also
that the two men had had an alterca.
tion over a pool game In Mexican
pool hail ON Platinum avenue.
Sheriff Simpson. keeping diligently
ON Pedros trail. finally located him at
Auga Prieta. In old Mexico, just oppo-
site Douglas, Judging correctly that
Pedro would sooner or later yield 10
the temptation to cross the border, Mr..
Simpson planted watch on him and,
sure enough, a short time afterward
the Mexican ventured into United
territory long enough for Mr.. Simp-
sons man to nab him. He admitted
on being questioned. that he had killed
Gonzales, but insisted that he acted in
self defense.
The jury naturally gave this claim
little consideration In the face OF the
fact that the victim was shot from be-
hind.
