GUILTY MARTINEZ TOO
 IS CONVICTED
From Friday,s paIlyl


 Sharper delineation of the issues of the sheep trespass case was achieved by A. H. Favour, special prosecutor, in the trial of Gregorio Hazas ycster- day, and at 3:4S, Judge Sweeney de- .cided this trial and found Hazas guilty. Robert E. Morrison, chief defense counsel then gave notice of Ia motion for a new trial, asked that no further hearings be held until after a supreme court ruling in the Hazas case, and the court held that the Is cases to be tried against Serabia must go to trial today.
 Under a stipulation of counsel, the testimony affecting the Hazas case is considered to have been elicited as against Alfredo Martinez, so the lat ter case is decided in favor of the state by the same verdict of the court.
 Straight treSpasS under the defini- ton given to it i'll the law of 1921, was the issue during a day of hotly contested testimony. It was the con tention of the defense that custom had given to the sheepmen certain rights on the public domain. There was wealth of testimony on the pont of just when sheep were first seen using certain ranges. The state on cross-exanlinatior went over and over the ground, and by attention to minute detail, elicited some interest ing descriptions of the lay of the land north of Castle Hot Springs, where the alleged offenses. occurred
 The defense carly proposed the of facts as between Hazas 7Ld Martinez, but no stipulation was into until after the state had heard the defense testimony. Then, with confidence of ruling against the testimony of rcbuttal witnesses, the prosecution agreed to the joining of cases and the matter was sub [ mitted. Judge Sweeney took a re- cess Of 10 minutes and returned with | his decision.
