OFFICER JAILED
FOR VOL At ION
Of FEDERAL LAW

Captain" NJ MacKelya, a Finn
by birth, and formerly lieutenant
in the Canadian army, with which
he served overseas, is being held
under $1,000 bond for the grand
jury, on a charge of violating sec
ton 50 of the federal statutes.
MacKelya is alleged to have OBJ
tanned a considerable sum of
money fraudulently, from various
towns in New Mexico.
1t is charged that posing as a
member of the U. S. air service, and
as acting under Instructions from
the war department and for the
postal department, MacKelya has
gone about LAYING out aero fields
| for proposed air line mail service.
He was clever, plausible, and was
arrayed with maps and plenty Of
| information. The citizens of a
number of towns were only too de-
lighted to further progress by as
sisting I'm to survey and prepare
landing fields, and pay him for t.
At Dawson, where he was ar
rested by Federal Agent Chamber
lin, he is said to have received from
two to three hundred dollars from
the Phelps Dodge company for lay
ing out an aero field a mile and
half from town, and also had been
given the use of seven or eight men
and teams for his work. In the
center Of the field was space with
Dawson" written in great letters
designed for the air men to read.
And all this, although Dawson is
in an out -the-way place, with
scarcely a chance of being included
on the route, owing to the difficulty
OF approach for air craft, even
should a transcontinental aero mail
service be established.
The same thing was worked in
a number of places, it is stated, and
MacKelya was not in the~E. S. air
service nor under orders from
the war department. He had,
1lDWeNtI, btttl NplillOhhoN A"lA'i ~
California company which pro-
posed transcontinental aero mail
service, and when his connection
with that was severed he went on
with his own scheme.
He was taken from Dawson to
Ration for a hearing before a COM
missioner, and placed under $1,000
bond. From Ration he was brought
to Albuquerque, where he is held
in the city Jail pending action by a
grand jury. The penalty for viola
ton Of the federal statute Is 900
or Imprisonment for three years, or
both.
The statute provides that no
money or anything valuable shall
be obtained from the government
or from any official of the govern
ment, or from any person under
false pretense, by any one imper-t
a government official.

Near that town he stopped the

Foster Parsons is about q
years old, and is the son of the
late Allen M. Parsons, Of near
iBlewett Falls.
Inasmuch as there is no contro-
yersy or question as to whether
he killed the two negro jitney
drivers or not, it will not be a.
miss for the paper to give briefiy
the. dates and facts of. the case.
The question for the jurors to
decide now is whether he was
mentally unbalanced at the time
of the homicides.
Briefly told, the history of the
case is as follows:
On the night of August 9TH,
1919, Foster Parsons came to
Hamlet from Durham county,
and hired a negro jitney driver,
named Duck Phillips, to take
him up the road towards Hoffman.
This was about 1890 at night;
when near Marston the car
stopped, the negro got out and
started towards the front as
though to crank it, saying he was
