CHAYEZ MURDER CASE,
Defendants Have All Testified in Their
Own Behalf Denials of Every
thing: Tending: to Criminate
Themselves.
Redoubled Efforts to Break Down the
Testimony of Francisco Rivera
Catron's Law Partner and Sec
retary on the Stand Photo
graphic Views.
This is the fifty-sixth day of thespecial
term of the district court in Santa Fe,
Judge Laughlin presiding up to April 23,
and the twenty-ninth day since the be
ginning of the trial of Francisco Gonzales
y Borrego, Antonio Gonzales y Borrego,
Laureano Alarid and Patricio Valeucia,
charged with the murder of Francisco
Chavez, on Sunday night, May 21), 18U2,
Judge Hamilton presiding.
0HINO ON TUK STAND.
Chino Alarid occupied the stand for the
latter portion of Saturday afternoon and
the first portion of yesterday morning.
It is useless to review his testimony for
the reason that his story as touching
himself is identical with the story related
by many others as to his doings nnd
whereabouts on the important days. He
made the same statement as made by An
tonio Alarid that he felt no especial iu
torest in the death of Chavez, not
enough at any rate to inquire how he
came to his end and where and by whom,
nor to step into the house where he was
to be seen, cold and lifeless, to look upon
his corpse, though passing at many times
during the day right in the immediate
vicinity.
CU4BLEY SPIESS AND QUS o'BEIEN.
Mr. Chas. A. Spiess, of Catron & Spiess,
attorneys for the defendants, was put up
on the witness rack by his partner, Mr.
Catron, and attempted to controvert the
testimony of Dominga Apodaoa, wherein
she said that no oue was present when he
had a talk with her nt Las Vegas with
reference to her evidence iu the trial, as
also her statement that he had agreed to
help her with money. He also testified
that Ike Nowell told him at the peniten
tiary that he knew nothing that would
connect the defendants with the death of
Chavez. He also denied that Luiz Gon
zales had been offered $10 to "swear to
something" against the defendants and
that the check was aotually made out.
Gus O'Brien followed. There is a
variauce between the evidence of the
former witness and the present one.
Spiess said that Gonzales and he were
alone part of the time of the interview.
O'Brien says he was in attendance from
the beginning as interpreter. O'Brien's
evidence wonld indicate in a degree that
he was keeping cases on the district at
torney's office. He was so bold und
liberal in his answers that the court
found it necessary to administer a repri
mand and to promise the witness punish
ment if he persisted in answering outside
of the questions asked.
ALLEQKD KEYSTONE OF TDK OONSVIBAOY.
Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, con
sidered by many as the keystoue of the
conspiracy alleged, came next. His evi
dence was a literal repgtition of the testi
mony of his brother, Antonio, on all ma
terial issues and need not be reiterated
now. He denied connection with the
murder of Chavez; denied that he lived
with Dominga Apodaca; that he had any
such conversation with her as she related;
denied that portion of Nowell's testi
mony whioh referred to a conversation
between himself and the hack driver, in
which it had been said that Chavez could
not live after abusing him as he did
while the defendant was in jail. His
testimony oau be summed up as a blank
denial and whitewash of all criminating
references made in the trial as regarding
himself. He claimed, however, to have
received a letter from Dominga Apodaca,
sneaked into the jail by a fellow prisoner
who had been brought from Las Vegas.
The letter was dated Santa Fe. At the
time this letter was alleged to have been
written here, February, 1891, Dominga
Apodaca, the alleged correspondent, wus
iu Las Vegas.
TESTIMONY THIS FOHENO0N.
At the incoming of court, this morning,
R. C. Gortner, private stenographer for
Mr. Catron both at the preliminary ex
amination before Judge Seeds and at the
pending trial before Judge Hamilton, was
called to the witness stand for the par
pose of showing that in certain particu
lars Francisco Kivera's testimony on the
two occasions was essentially con
tradictory. With parts of his stenogra
phic notes in his hands, and type-written
copies thereof in the hands of Mr. Catron
the witness recollected and nnswered
such questions as were put to him; but
when it came to cross-examination his
full notes were conveniently nbsent, he
was unable to produce them and did not
know where they were. Touching the
much talked of affidavit of Francisco
Rivera, wherein affiant is supposed know
ingly to have disavowed his evidence
against defendants, the witness testified
that in Jannary, 1891, he was present in
Catron's office when such affidavit was
written nnd sworn to. He said that Cat
ron, Rivera and himself were present
when the affidavit was first written, that
Rivera gave the substance of the
affidavit in Spanish, that Mr. Catron in
terpreted it to him (witness) in English
that he might type-write it, that he (wit
ness) UNDERSTOOD SPANISH
enough to know that Mr. Catron inter
preted the affidavit oou-ectly; that when
Rivera came into Catron's office to make
the affidavit be (Rivera) remarked: "I
want to make an affidavit against those
s of b s," referring to Cunning
ham and others. Continning, witness said
that after the affidavit was prepared Ma
nuel Valdez and Mr. Morrison were sent
for and young Charley Conklin oame in
and affidavit was translated to and signed
and sworn to by Rivera. He stated posi
tively that Francisco Gonzales y Borrego
was not in the room when affidavit was
written and signed.
On cross-examination he did not re
member who first translated the affidavit
to Rivera, but recollected that Charley
Conklin translated it the second time.
He supposed that it was all translated to
Rivera, but did not hear it translated in
detail. Valdez and Morrison witnessed
the signing and swearing to affidavit, bnt
witness did not know whether they heard
it translated. Iu answering questiens of
the district attorney respecting the testi
mony taken before Judge Seeds the wit
ness did not remember "exaotly" or
"specifically," but thought that Franoisoo
Rivera did swear before Judge Seeds that
he signed the affidavit because be was
"afraid they would kill him." Generally,
however, not having all his notes, he was
very uncertain what wus sworn to at the
preliminary heariug, except the parts re
lating to the questions asked by Mr.
Catron, stenographic answers to whioh he
had before him.
PHOTOGItAniS INTRODUCED.
Photographer Curran was next called
to the stand by Mr. Catron. He had long
been engaged in the business of taking
photographic views and understood the
business; was acquainted with the loca
tion of Guadalupe bridge; had lately, at
the request of Mr. Catron, mads two
photographic viowB showing the location
of the south end of the bridge and the
telegraph pole. The one introduced in
evidence was taken from a point about
midway of the bridge and about twenty
two feet from the south end thereof and
shows parts of five persons standing in a
row on a line from' the telegraph pole
extending along the west side of the rail
road track north or toward the river.
The first man is standing behind the
telegraph pole and only part of his cloth
ing is seen, the second is standing eigh
teen .inches toward the river from the
pole and the third, fourth and fifth are
each located twelve inches apart and
down toward the river and only the hat
of the lust man, who is standing on lower
ground, can be seen. On cross-examination
nnd also in answer to questions of
Mr. Catron the witness said that, as the
ground sloped npward from the west
side of the bridge at the south eud, more
of the bodies iu the picture would have
beon in sight iu proportion to the dis
tance they stood back from or west of
the bridge, but, not being skilled in
geometry, he was unable to give exact
figures. "
This evidence was obviously introduced
for the purpose of contradicting Fran
cisco Rivera, bnt, as Rivera did not place
the defendants in the positions occupied
by tho men in the picture and as it is
unreasonable to suppose that they occu
pied such positions on the night Chavez
was killed, the close observer of court
proceedings is unable to figure out what
weight attaches thereto.
AN INVENTIVE GENIUS.
Joseph A. Keynolds Produces a New
and Handy Envelope Big1 Money
in Little Patents.
Joseph A. Reynolds, of McKenzie's
hardware store, to-day received from
Washington letters patent for a very
simple and useful article which bids fair
to make him a fortune. It is a folding
envelope, so arranged as to make two out
of one. When spread open the paper re
sembles the shape of a four leaf clover.
Two ends are gummed nnd two are per
forated so as to facilitate opening. On
the reverse of the inscription side may
be printed n business firm's address and
when the envelope is once used and the
seal broken at one of the perforations it
oau be folded inside out; the other per
forated and the other gummed end falls
into place so as to present an entirely
new envelope which may be used a second
time. Among the advantages claimed
for it are economy in cost and time and
as an advertising medium.
Mr. Reynolds has also recently scoured
patents on two new monkey-wrenches
and is now at work on a new letter copy
ing device and a dust pan. He says it is
the little things that count in the inven
tive world. The man who invented the
return ball for children to play with made
$100,000 out of it. The man who in
vented roller skates made $300,000 out of
his invention, while the man who in
vented the game of pigs in olover made
$60,000.

AND IT MINED.
A General Storm of Great Beneftt
The Precipitation Nearly Two
Inches Ail New Mexico ,
in It.
Great gobs of goodness! Did yon ever
see Buoh a rain? The olouds came up
from the south where all our big storms
gather at noon yesterday and at 2
o'clock a gentle rainfall set in. At 10 a.m
to-day it is still on deck. A steady rain
fell all night. It wasn't a down-pour, but
a slow and steady, soaking rain. A pe
cnliarity about it is that it didn't fall
from the olouds as usual, but just gener
ated, like steam, coming from every'
where, but uowuere in particular. Um
brellas and slickers and mackintoshes
were no good. Tho rain was so fine it
went through all these as if they were
sieves. Adobe houses with tar and gravel
roofs couldn't keep it ont and it went
through even tin roofs.
That the moisture went straight down
into the earth is shown by the fact that
none of the streams or ditohes are flow
ing a large volume of water to-day. The
precipitation was greater than most peo
ple could guess. Between 2 and 6 o clock
yesterday the rainfall amounted to .55
inches. During the night it was .42
inches, while between 6 and 11 a. m. it
was .11 inches, or a total of 1.38 inches,
Last week's rainfall was .38 inches, so
that up to date the rainfall for May at
Santa re and it will hold good through
out the county amounts to over one and
a halt inches, or .20 more than the May
normal for twenty years.
The storm is general all over the
southwest, telegraphic advioes announc
ing rain at Pueblo, Colo., Dodge City,
lias., Trinidad, Albuquerque, Gallup and
Socorro. At Las Cruces and Deming
there were light showers. Every branch
of trade and industry will be benefited
beyond all estimation.

Mr. C. Leon Allison, of Denver, well
known as the owner of several hundred
aores of ohoioe valley land near Santa
Fe, writes the New Mexican as follows
under date of 17th inst:
"In your issue of 15th inst., I note the
artiole in regard to raising $80 per month
for the Sunday concerts in the plaza,
Yon eau have my name put down for $1
to be paid each month. Out of your 10,
000 population it ought to be no trouble
to get eighty men to see the great ad
vantage of these concerts as a drawing
card for the oity. Why, the young bloods
could well afford to contribute the entire
sum, as it gives them an opportunity to
get a correot count on the young ladies
each week. Twenty-five cents to feast
your eye on a whole oorral full of lovely
women is cheap, In my Judgement.
A Flying Trip.
Hon. Lorion Miller, territorial seore'
tarv, accompanied his little daughter,
Miss Wrenetta, to the city last night,
leaving her to visit among her young Al-
bnquerque friends, and he returning to
Santa Fe this morning. Mr. Miller was
seen at the depot this morning by a Citi
zen man, and he spoke of the interest the
Santa Fe firemen and citizens generally
are takiog in the approaching territorial
firemen s convention and tournament,
which convenes in Santa Fe on July 8 and
continues for three days. He thought
that the purses for the events will be
quite liberal and not as an inducement
for firemen all over the territory to take
part in the events. He also stated that he
would be the cat 0 tier in the "fats vs. tne
leans" game of base ball at the capital
the ooming Saturday afternoon. Albu
