Denying Part in
Leniency

Jesus Nunez, 36-year-old
Yaqui Indian accused of
criminally attacking a seven
-year-old Mexican girl at a
workers camp near Verde
May 2. changed his plea from
not guilty to guilty in Judge
Vaughn N. Thompsons division Of
superior court Friday afternoon.
He Immediately was sentenced
to San Quentin for from one year
to life, with Judge Thompson rec
ommending a minimum sentence
of Is years.
Commitment to San Quentin,
however, was ordered withheld by
Thompson for one week on con-
dition that Nunez accept volun-
tary deportation to Mexico for
himself, his wife and their four
children. The 15-year minimum
Judge Thompson in the event the
prison sentence must be served.
If Nunez stays out of the United
States or escapes detection in
the event he should return, he
will not have to serve any time in
the penitentiary, the judge ex-
planned.
Nunez is held in the county
jail pending arrangements for de-
portation.
Sheriff Robert w. Ware en-
phatically denied recommending
deportation. He protested the
move as overly lenient.
Judge Thompson estimated that
approximately $1,000 would be
saved by the deportation of Nunez.
as the state would have the ex-
pense of maintaining the Indian
in San Quentin for at least 10
months and each Of the four
children would receive $40 month
from the state and the county of
Imperial would have to supple
ment what would be needed to
support them.
Inc district attorneys office rec
commended that Nunez be sent to
San Quentin, declared d. H. VOL

trict attorney, with deportation to
follow the penitentiary sentence.
The little Mexican girl was
forced by Nunez to drink large
quantity of wine before the at
tack. He was surprised by a IL
year-old girl who ran to the ehild'1
mother.
Nunez ran from the place hotly
pursued by group of angry Mex
leans intent upon avenging the
child, officers said. The Mexi-
cans failed to find him and Off
GERS were summoned.

There can be no compromise if it

HeWes declared. He was answering
the statement Of f. o. Dolson, vice

trict an option to purchase the COM
panys system at the end OF rea-
sonable period Meanwhile, he sug-
gested, the power company would
distribute power, dividing earnings
with the district.
Dolsons suggestion was made

Hewes, commenting on the pro-
posal, said:
"He CDolsom stands now COM

Under DolSon'S plan HeWeS COM
