TELLS POLICE
HL SHOT Mi
WHO
San Antonian Confesses
Killing at Kenedy
in 1902.
CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE
Conscience Does Not Trou
ble But Wants Peace
With sod.
Juan Lopez, 53, for 32 years a resi
dent of San Antonio, and well known
on the West Side, stopped into No. 2
sub-police station on El Paso street,
at 10:35 Wednesday morning and sur
rendered for a killing commit led in
Kenedy, Karnes county. 21 years ago.
“I want to give up.” Lopez, told
Policemen Padron and Valdez, on duty
at the substation. "I killed a man
many ycais ago in Kenedy.”
The pciicemen at first were inclined
to think he was joking. It was not
until Lopez, whose homo is at 1519
Guadalupe street and whom they had
known for years, insisted ho be locked
up, that he was taken to central police
headquarters. He was transferred to
Sheriff Tobin’s office, ami then placed
in the county jail. H** will be held
pending the arrival of Sheriff Brown
of Karnes county, who is expected
hero Wednesday night.
Says He Killed Candalrrio Cantu.
"1 am the man who killed 4'nnda
lorio Cantu in Kenedy on Christmas
Eve. 1902.” Lopez declared while
seated in the sheriff's office surround
ed by deputies. Not a deputy in ser
vice now was in the service then and
they did not recall the case. Sheriff
Brown was notified of the surrender
of Lojiez. and paid ho would check
the records, got a warrant, and come
for the prisoner Wednesday evening.
When Lopez, was asked why he
should surrender, he replied: “I have
slain a man. For two years 1 have
boon in poor health, and. if I have
committed a wrong I want to make
peace with God.”
Lopez then voluntarily went into
detail by way of explanation.
“I killed Cantu honorably.” ho said,
‘but I am anxious to get it off my
mind. When 1 shot him he had at
tacked mo with a knife, inflicting a
long, deep wound in my head. I rode
out of Kenedy that night on a horse
and have ever since lived among you
here as Juan Lopez. My real name
is Louis Lopez.”
Shows Scar on Head.
The prisoner added that Cantu had
become involved in a difficulty with
his (Lopez’) brother, because of a
saddle, owned by the Lopez relative
and which had disappeared. Lopez
and Cantu, he said, met at a Mexican
dance at Kenedy. Winds were ex
changed and Cantu, he said, drew a
knife.
“I jerked my pistol and told him
to stand back.” Lopez said in his
statement to deputies. “Cantu wis
known as a dangerous man and I kept
him covered. He was quick and be
fore I could prevent him. he had
struck me with the weapon.”
Lopez bared his head to the of
ficers, revealing a long, jagged scar
across his forehead at the hair line.
"That is the wound Cantu inflict
cd.” he aaid. "1 shot him a second
after he struck me. I fled from the
place, reached my home, washed my
face which was covered with blood
and then bandaged the wound. I
jumped on my horse and rode to San
Antonio. I have resided here every
since.”
Conscience Dors Not Trouble.
Lopez explained that while he lived
at Kenedy, working on a farm he
was known as Julian Frutoso. Though
his name is Louis Lopez, he said he
went under the name of Juan Ixipcz
here. He said he was married in
Bastrop county, in 1890. and after
the death of his wife wed a second
time. He raised six children, al! of
whom, he said, arc residents of San
Antonio.
“1 do not regret the killing ami it
is not because my conscience has
bothered me. that 1 surrender.” Lopez,
said. “1 have led a happy life until
I became ill nearly two years ago.
But. I am a sick man and I don't
want tn dir. if the killing was a
wrong without making my peace with
God. 1 want to clear it up and t»c
vindicated.”
Marshal Remembers Killing.
G. M. Pullin, city marshal at Ken-;
edy. to.d The Light over long dis-;
tame phone that he remembered tlmi
killing but did not remember any ot
the details.
Sheriff J. F. Brown of Karnes City
was attending a funeral Wednesday
and dil not have time to look bark

ing. Norn* of the office workers in
the sheriff's office knew anything ol
it nor did the sheriff remember it.

as figured on the city tax rolls w ill be
made to the city commission by Tax
Commissioner John I*. Pfeiffer Thurs
day afternoon. This is purxiant to
a reijuest made upon the tax commis
sioner last Mo:.day when the question
of the city’s giving a quit claim deed
to the South Florcs street property
arose. The San Antonio school board
required this deed to perfect the title
to the property, which is involved in a
trade f r the electric park site,
4 ommissioner Pfeiffer, in zwnminc
ing Ins intention of submitting the re
port Wednesday, said that, be would
show that the school board paid ap
proximately AHM.IWIO for property
valued by the tax assessor at
The electric park property, his report
will s-how. u valued on ihe tax roils
as city blocks 345, 347 and 352. with
money valuations respectively of $22.-
180: 519.979 and $17,803, making a
total of $5(1,662. It is nsseesed at
three fourths of its valu or approxi
mately $:»8.ooo.
Says Taxpayers the Losers.
The South Flores street property, on
the other hand, is valued at $73,371.
The school board, in its trade, how
ever. reserved a portion of the land
which the atOicssor values at $3420.
ihe properly actua’dy involved in the
deal, therefore, is valued at $69,951
and assessed nt threc-fourths value or
$52,460.
"The School Board.” Commissioner
Pfeffer said, "is paying $35,000 in cash
and giving in tra«l<* the South Florcs
street properly \allied al $09.954. cr .«
total Rmsiderat ion of $104,951. where
as the actual value of the electric park
site is only $50,662. The taxpayers
of the city will lose the difference.”
The valuations on the South Fiores
street prtipe.w,. tin* tax commissioner
pointed out. will be increased in the
new assessment period, v hich w ill si ill
furiher add to the disadvantages of the
deal. In addition, he said, the electric
park site must be intersected with
streets, in order to mak> it accessible
which will still further detract from
it- monetary value.
In a formal statement Wednc>da\.
rhe tax <*ommis*ioner exjdained that
he is making the report to the council
on its own reqdcsl and that, he has no
personal interest in the matter what
soever.
"I do not care what the council docs
officially.'' the tax commissioner said,
“but when I’m asked to give an opin
ion on a transaction or any figures
witli refeience to the value of prop
erty. based on one appraisals, by any
citizen. 1 consider it my duty to make
that report.
■’l have no prejudice against mem
bers of the San Antonio School Board,
but. they are public officials and the
public is entitled to know how their
money is being spent.
Claims School Funds Wasted.
‘ While the school board has seen
fit to criticize my expenditure of
(I(t(i for a (ax survey, it didn’t hesitate
to take advantage of every dollars in
crease brought about by that survey
and levy a higher maintenance tax
rate. Even after the board had fixed
its budget and stated that It would be
ott cents on a valuation of #I7!MMXt.-
(aid or Sss(>.-<’<t. and it found that the
valuations were SI 80,000,000. this
budget was changed and increased in
order to consume tite difference.”
The only criticism heretofore made
of the 840.000 expenditure for the tax
survey, the tax commissioner asserted,
has been that it increased values.
"Yet the school board,” he said.
"|iaid two or three times as milch for
proi>crt.v it has acquired lately, as that
property was assessed on,the tax rolls.
1f .mr assessed valuations arc really
high, as it is claimed, then the sehoel
board has paid many times over what
the property is worth.'
Referring to the criticisms of the
school board that his opposition is
only to the "extravagance and waste
of bond funds." adding that "I think
the facts will bear out my charge that
the public school funds have been
wasted."
