STARTLING-SENSATIONAL,
Thirtieth Day of the Chavez
Murder Trial Results in
Dark and Damaging
Disclosures.
Direct Testimony of Delegate
Catron in DetailPositive De
nial of Parts of Evidence
Relating to Witness.
Madam Martinez de Strong1 Recalled
Declares that Her Former Tes
timony was Due to Fear and
Was False How She
Was Coached.
This, the thirtieth day of the trial
of Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, An
tonio Gonzales y Borrego, Laurenno
Alarid and Patricio Valencia, charged
with the murder of Francisco Chavez,
on Sunday night, May 29, 1892, opened
at 8:30 this morning with heavy clouds
hanging over the court house nnd omi
nous whispers in the corridors thereof
that indicated the expectation of startling
disclosures before night. Such expecta
tions were not disappointed as the report
in detail shows.
EXAMINATION Or MB. OATBON.
T. B. Catron, senior member of the law
firm of Catron & Spiess, attorneys for
the aocused, then took the stand. He
said:
"I heard the testimony of the witness
Juan Gallegos given on the stand and
what he said about the society which he
designated as the league or the button
society ."
Objection by Mr. Crist. Objection
sustained.
"I heard the testimony of the witness
Juan Gallegos with reference to the con
versation whioh he had with Francisco
Gonzales y Borrego, Hipolito Vigil and
Antonio Gonzales y Borrego at or near
the portal under the old palace building
in whioh it was stated that some one of
them said to him that I would give him
$700 and defend him or protect him if he
would kill Francisco Chavez. That is
the substance of it. No one had any au
thority to make any such statement ns
that from me. I had never said to any
body that I would do any such thiug as
that; nor had I ever been spoken to by
anyone with referenoe to the killing of
Francisco Chavez at any time. The wit
ness, Joan Gallegos, said in that conver
sation, as it was closing, that Antonio
Gonzales y Borrego said that 'there goes
Mr. Catron now,' and at that time I was
coming down the street to my office, and
that I entered my offioe in the door
furtherest up this way toward the cienega,
He said this was about 9 o'clock in the
morning, if I remember correctly, and
this was a few days after the 16th day of
January, 1891. At that time I was not
down in the town as early as 9 o'clock
That was in the winter and I was a mem
ber of the legislature then and was ohair
man of the oommittee on judioiary. And
the committee on judioiary met in my
office every night, and we remained there
as late as 12 o'clock - nearly every night,
so that I remained at my residence after
going home at night until after 9 o clock
in the morning and never reaohed my
office during that month of January
earlier than 10 o'clock. I never entered
my office during the winter months at the
door designated by the witness, Joan
Gallegos, at any time either in the morn
ing or during the day time or at night
that way. That was a door which always
remained olosed. Mr. Clancy had the key
to it and he entered by that door, but he
never came to the office before 10 o'clock
in the morning. When he entered he
always closed it with tbe key. 1 bad no
key. to that door at all. I had a key to
only one door to my omoe. There were
three doors to the office. The door to
whioh I had a key and in which I always
entered, except when the main door was
opened by whoever swept out the office
and was left opened, was a door on the
street going up toward the Palace hotel,
the furtherest op toward that street. I
always entered by that door in the morn
ing when I went there. Then the door
next, after I would get in the door next
to the oorner would generally be opened
by me or some one else and that would
be the only door used during the day for
the ofhoe except when Mr. Clancy would
enter and come in by the other door
which he sometimes did and sometimes
did not."
THE BIVEBA AFFIDAVIT.
"I can say positively that at no time
during January, 1891, did I enter the of
fioe by the door whioh the witness, Juan
Gallegos, said I entered, and no time
dnring that month was X down at my
office as early as 9 o'olook or within a few
minutes of 9 o'olook.
"I heard the testimony of the witness,
Francisco Rivera, in regard to the mak
ing of an affidavit in my office. That
affidavit is the paper I now hold in my
hand. What I remember about that is
this: On the day this affidavit was made,
the 8th day of January, 1891, 1 came into
my offioe and found Francisco Rivera
there. I think, if I am not mistaken,
Franoisoo Gonzales y Borrego was in the
room also. Franoisoo Rivera spoke to
me and said that he wanted to make on
affidavit in regard to the aotions of Mr.
Cunningham in regard to the death of
Franoisoo Chavez making various state
ments, and asked me to make ont the
affidavit for him. I asked him why he
wanted the affidavit made.. He said he
wanted me to know what the facts were
and to put the facts in a shape so that
they oould be retained in ease anything
happened. I then told him if he made an
affidavit that I wanted him to state the
entire truth and it made no difference
whom it might hurt. I then sent Fran
oisoo Gonzales y Borrego ont of the room,
as I now remember; at least be didn t re'
main in the room; and Mr. Gortner, who
was then type-writer for me. took down
the affidavit. Franoisoo Rivera narrated
the faots to me in the Spanish language.
I translated them to Mr. Gortner word
for word, just as the interpreter is trans
lating here, that is, after stating the for
mer part of the affidavit. The faets nar
rated I took down as nearly as possible
as he said them. Nothing was put in this
affidavit except what he stated. I some
times asked him questions whioh he wonld
answer. The substance in the answer in
question would be put down in the affi
davit. The affidavit which I dictated to
Mr. Gortner was exactly the substance of
what Rivera said to me. After the affi
davit had been dictated I suggested to
him that it had better be translated and
read over to him. He stated that that
was nnneeasary as he understood English
well enough to know that I had correctly
traiiElated his words, and that what he
had said had been put dowu by Mr. Gort
ner. lie wanted to sign the affidavit and
swear to it there, but I insisted that the
ailidavit should be read over to him care
fully in the Spanish language and re
quested some one to do it, to go into the
front corner room of my office. . I don't
remember who it was bat I think prob
ably it was Mr. Conkliu. During no part
of this tinie while this affidavit was being
dictated to me by Francisco Rivera and
while I was diotating it into English to
the stenographer was Francisco Gonzales
y Borrego in the room. When they went
into the other room to translate it to him,
shortly after they, had gone in, 1 walked
in there. I hey were translating it and
Mr. Franoisoo Gonzales y Borrego was in
there. I think he went out shortly after
wards, and afterwards, I think, if I re
member correctly, Morrison and Valdez
were sent for. I am not certain whether
they were iu the room before that time or
not. My recollection does not serve me
exactly on that point. But they were
sent for about the time the atlidavit was
sought to be translated to him. And I
directed him if any mistakes should be
made iu the affidavit 1 to correct them.
My recolleotiou is the affidavit was twice
translated to Rivera, onoe in the front
corner room of my offioe and a second
time in the back room of my office, where
Mr. Lnsier, the notary publio who took
tho oath, had his desk. In one of these
places Mr. Morrison and Mr. Valdez were
present. I was through both rooms from
time to time and heard them read the
affidavit to him. After it was nil read
over I myself asked him if the affidavit
was correct and told him if there was any
mistake in tbe affidavit as to the facts
that I wanted him to correct them, and
asked him if the affidavit was all true. I
think some little correction was made in
it as it appears here by the insertion of a
name. He said the affidavit was correot,
just as the facts were. He then swore te
the affidavit before Mr. Lasier, gave it to
me and left it with me and went out of
the office. After he had gone to the door,
I don't know whether he went out or not,
he came back to where I was and he said
he wanted to put me on my guard par
ticularly. He said: 'All they want in
this whole transaction is to implicate you
and Antonio Ortiz '" (Objection by
Mr. Crist and motion to strike out. Over
ruled.) " By proving that we had paid
to hove Franoisoo Chavez killed.' He ad
vised me to be on the lookout; that they
were trying to get up some such evidenoe
against mt and Mr. Ortiz. There was no
one present except he and myself when
he made that remark. He then left the
office leaving this affidavit with me.
"I heard the testimony of
THE WITNESS, IKK NOWKLL,
with referenoe to a conversation had with
me at the penitentiary. I went to the
penitentiary to see Ike Nowell about the
time he testifies. I was there with refer
ence to the testimony he would give in
this case and I went iu the interest of
my clients. I sent for him and he was
brought into Col. Bergmann's room. I
said I wanted to talk to him about what
evidenoe he was going to give in this
case. He answered 'all right,' and asked
me what I wanted to know. I said to
him that as I understood it he bad made
two statements conflicting with each
other, which were contrary to each other,
one in his evidence given before Judge
Seeds and the other iu statements made
to Mr. Spiess prior togivihg his evidence;
that in one he had made statements whioh
would connect these defendants with the
killing of Chavez 10 a certain extent and
in the other he had said that he knew
nothing that would connect them with it,
or words to that effect. He said it was
true that he had made these , two state
ments. I asked him which one of the
two was true." i'
Objection by Mr. Crist. Overruled.
"He said that what he said to Mr.
Spiess was correot; what he had sworn to
was not correct, and said Mr. Spiess
ooght not to have used what he told him;
that he whs at the time he gave his evi
dence before Judge Seeds in a close
place and he was trying to help himself
and he thought that by Mr. Spiess mak
ing nse of that that he had injured him
and got a heavier sentence on him. I
then said to him if you'go over there to
testify you must tell the truth without
reference to any one. And I said 'are
you going over there to testify to a thing
that is not true.' He said, 'If I get on
the stand and testify to what I told Mr.
Spiess, which is true, can that not be
used ngniust me in an aoousation whioh
might be brought against me for per
jury f I said 'Yes, it oan, beoause one
portion of your testimony used in one
pi nee can be nsed against you in another
if they contliot.' He then said 'I have
had trouble enough and do not want to
do anybody any harm.' 'Now,' he said,
'W)w can I get out of stating what I said
'before Judge Seeds although that is not
true; what way can I ever go on the
stand and testify to thut and not make an
oath which will help to convict me?' I
said 'I don't know but one way. If you
testify you must tell the .truth but you
can refuse to testify if by telling the
truth it will tend to oonvict yon of per
jury.' And I said 'if this is the ease and
you want to tell the truth and yon feel
that that will help oonvict yon of perjury
you can state to the court that your au
swer will tend to convict yon of a orime
and you decline to answer.' He said 'Can
they force me to answer)" I said 'They
can't do it if you say your answer will
tend to conviot you of a crime and yonr
answer will be true.' He then said 'If I
get into any trouble about it what will
you dor I said 'I will be there and I
will see that you are protected by the
court in your rights.' That I think is
about all the conversation as I remember.
The language I have used I don't pretend
is exactly verbatim but it is as near as I
can now remember."
TESTIMONY THIS MOBNINO.
Promptly at 8:30 Mr. Catron resumed
the stand for cross-examination, gen
erally sustaining the positions taken in
his direct examination in a lawyerlike
fashion. Touohing the Rivera affidavit
incident the witness said that when he
came into his office before the 'brepara
tion of the affidavit he fonnd Franoisoo
Rivera and Franoisoo Gonzales y Borrego
there together. Mr. uort-ier was also in
the room and Messrs. Lasier, Charley
Spiess, yonng Charley Conklin, Charles
Conklin, sr., and Gus O'Brien were some
where about the offioe. Rivera dictated
the affidavit to witness in Spanish and he
(Catron) interpreted it in English to his
type writer, Gortner, the three persons
first mentioned being the only ones in
the room when this happened. The
affidavit was sworn to before Lnsier and
witnessed by Morrison and Valdez. In
as much as this testimony will be written
ont in full for these columns to-morrow
further details are omitted here.
Immediately npon leaving the stand
Mr. Catron introduced the affidavit refer
red to in evidence and it was read to the
Jury. Tbe defense then rested.
The distriot attorney then said that, in
accordance with previous notice, he de
sired to recall certain witnesses for cross
examination. .
Porfllio Martinez de Martinez, who
testified for the defense at both the pre
liminary hearing and also at tbe pending
trial, was .
1HE FIBBT ONE BBOALLEP.
Her testimony was given readily, dis
tinctly and without hesitation, and
caused suoh a sensation in the crowded
court room that Judge Hamilton was
constrained sharply to reprimand the
spectators for inadvertent manners of
approval and astonishment. She testi
fied that she was at Cerrillos when the
preliminary hearing opened before Judge
Seeds; that Jose Dominguez and another
told her that Mt. Catron wanted her to
go to Santa Fe and testify; that they
had a warrant for her and showed her a
paper whioh she couldn't read; that they
took her to Santa Fe in a buggy; that
she reaohed Santa Fe about .noon and
was immediately taken to the house of
Rafael Lopez on lower San Franoisoo
street; that iu about a half hour Charles
M. Conklin came to the room where she
was and had a conversation with her;
that Conklin thoroughly coached her as
to the testimony she must give before
Judge Seeds.
"What in substance did Conklin tell
you to swear to?" queried the distriot at
torney. "He told me I must tell where Lnis
Gonzales lived; that he lived in a room
adjoining the one oeonpied by me at the
time Chavez was killed; that I saw Lnis
Gonzales come into my room in his un
derclothes the night Chavez was killed.
This is what Conklin told me I was ex
pected to swear to."
"Where were you living the night Cha
vez was killed f"
WHKBE SHE WAS LIVING.
"In the honse of Don Lorenzo Lopez,
and Luis Gonzales lived in rooms ad
joining and opening into mine."
"Did yon see Lnis Gonzales the night
Chavez was shot in his night clothes?"
"I did not. I did not Bee him until
about an hoar' after Chavez was shot,
when he came to his door and asked his
wife to let him in. I testified different
because I was afraid they would do me
some harm."
Continning the wituess said that When
Chavez was killed she and heV husband
were in bed; that she heard four shots
and told her husband that there must be
a fire. Soon after this'Atllano Gold came
running and alarmed and told her hus
band that Chavez had been killed. In
spite of her protests her husband went
out to see and oame baok before Luis
Gonzales oame home. She asserted that
she told this to Conklin, but he told her
this was not what was wanted of her.
Respecting her appearance at this trial
as a wituess for the defense, she said that
Fred Thayer and Teodoro Ortiz oame to
her house at Lmny in the night, showed
her a paper whioh they called a warrant,
and said she must go to Santa Fe with them.
She did not want to go, but they said she
must obey the order of the oourt. She
then dressed, and, leaving her two chil
dren in the oare of a neighbor, went with
Thayer to the depot. Thayer did not
allow her to speak to any one,
RTJBBIED HEB ON THE TBAIN
and took a seat 'beside her. They ar
rived in Santa Fe about midntght; she
was immediately taken by Thayer in a
baok to the law offioe of Catron & Spiess;
was kept there in a room all the rest of
that night, all the next day and until she
returned borne the next night; l red
Thayer brought breakfast, dinner and
supper to her in Catron's offioe; she had
a short conversation with Mr. uatron
while confined in his office; was taken
back to Catron's offioe after testifying;
was taken back to the depot by
Fred Thayer the night after her arrival,
Asked the distriot attorney, "J)idn't
you hear the judge say that yon must re
main about the court house uutiL finally
discharged?"
"Yes, but I wanted to go back to my
children."
Continuing, the witness said that she
came baok this time of her own accord,
and went directly to the jail beoause she
wanted to see Mr. Cunningham. She did
not see Cunningham there. She saw the
distriot attorney at his oflloe and told him
what she had related above in the presence
of Mr. Pope and Mr. H. L. Ortiz.
"What I testified to before Jodge Seeds
and also when before on the stand in this
trial was false," she added, "beoause I was
afraid and I am still afraid."
DENIED BLEEPING) IN JAIL.
In reply to questions of Mr. Catron the
witness positively denied Bleeping in jail
since here this time; denied that she was
arrested for violating a city ordinanoe
nnd brought to Santa Fe by deputy sher
iffs; declared again that she oame because
she wanted to come. Respeoting the con
versation with Mr. Catron alluded to, she
said that he asked her if she would testify
us she did before Judge Seeds, and finally
admitted to the apparent satisfaction
of Mr. Catron that he had said something
to her about telling the truth, intimating
that she was afraid.
"What were yon afraid oft" asked Mr.
Catron.
"I was afraid of him because I wub in
his office and he might do me something
and was afraid of the relatives and friends
of the defendants."
Mr. Catron gave notioe that he would
oner evidenoe oontradiotory of that just
given.
HIPOLITO WAS NOT AT BOMB.
Frederiok Grace next took the stand
and reiterated his former testimony about
Hipolito Vigil eoming home the night
Chavez was killed about 7 o'olook, taking
on ms Sunday clothes and putting on
those he wore every day, then going out
ana not returning till about iu-.au o'clock
In direct contradiction of the testi
mony of Julian Vigil, who swore that
Hipolito oame home sick abont 9 o'olook
on the memorable night and went to bed,
Mr. Grace positively testified that Hipo
lito was away from .home from 7 until
10:30 o'olook on the night Chavez was
killed. . .
A reoess was thereupon taken until

Judge Wielandy is covering his four
aere orohard on Bneua Vista heights with
two-inah water pipes. His place is
worth a, visit by those who have little
faith in New Mexioo's future as a fruit
prodnoing region.
- Suoh weather seldom eomes in this
eonntry. To-day, for instance, a man oan
wear his old olothes and sloth around in
real mud just as he used to do baok in
the states, before he moved west, changed
his name, possibly, and became somebody
from nowhere.

Dr. D. C. Kelley, who is interested in
one of the most attractive tnnnel enter-
terprises in the Coehiti mineral region
is in town to-day en route from BlanV to
San Pedro, where he goes to show Cleve
land, Ohio, investors some mining prop
erty. He has the thanks of the Nnw
Mixioan for a copy of a new map of the
Ooohitl distriot, compiled by Mr. William
Harris. The map shows the trend of the
principal mineral bearing-ieads in the
distriot and the looation and names of the

Mr. 0. 0. Carpenter has been trans
ferred from the passenger department of
the Santa Fe railroad, with headquarters
at El Paso, to Minneapolis, Minn., where
he Alls similar position. His friends
in Santa Fe and throughout Mew Mexioo
are sorry to lose him, particularly the
newspaper men, who appreciate civility
wherever it is fonnd among railway pas
senger agents.
The people of Santa Fe are praotioally
of one mind on the subject of opening a'
broad and attractive avenue from the
arroyo west of the Probst property
through to the national military oeme
tery. Suoh an extension of Grant avenue
wonld add 30 per cent to the value of the
intervening property. No doubt tbe
owners of this property will donate the
land to the city on condition that the
city oounoil will move baok the fences,
grade the streets and agree to set oat
shade trees every twenty feet along the
ronte, and the Maw Mixioan believes the
water company will do its share toward
supplying water for the trees until they
are well started. "
