VBnDICT OF HOT GUILTY

PUCATlU). Tho Famous Murder Trial at an Und
and Kemp a Free Han -Case Hotly
Contested on flotlt Side and Hv l
denco Very Stronp - Jury Out Three
Hour.
The most celebrated trial for murder
ever to huru taken place Hi this valley
Is at an end und D. L. Kemp, thu lic
ensed, is clear, having been found not
guilty by a Jury of good citizens of
Chuvcs county. Tho evidenco on both
sides wus very voluminous, thirty wit
nesses having been subpoenaed by tho
territory and twelvo by the detente.
Tho trial cal ed many of our peoplo to
Itosweli for week and Its cost to tho
county is estimated by it. P. Arm
strong, the collector's deputy, at about
ei.OOO, whllo the defense gives it out
thut $1X00 Is about the amount It Is
out 1 he case wus conducted for the
territory by John Franklin, tho nblo
district attorney, assisted by I. II. Pur
hey of tho stock association of Texas.
Tho defense hud a line array of talent,
consisting of Judgo W. W. Gatowood,
of Miirfu. Texas, Geo. Kstos. of Pecos.
Judge A. A. Freeman, ex-associate
justice of the New Mexico supremo
court, and J. O Cumeron, of Kddy.
During tne examination or mo wit
nesses every point was hotly contest
ed. thu piosecutlon endeavoring to de
monstrate n case of murder, whllo tho
defense through numerable witnesses
proved thut Dow hud at divers times
m ti du life very uncomfortable for
Kemp and that Dow had threatened
Kemp's life and oven went ho far us to
hold u Winchester on Kemn whllo ho
abused him. This testimony, together
with the fact that Dow wus proved by
many reputable persons to have been
overbearing at times, seems to have
been enough to lntlutnco the jury to
acquit Kemp. The prosecution closed
Saturday evening und Sunday night
the judge Issued un order to the Chuvcs
county sheriff to take Kemn lu custndr
and conllno h :n in jail. Kemp's at
torneys went to tho judge and mado a
evening of tho NlKKftlng of Dow, Feb'
18, lHlli, he happened ulnng near I ho
Argus ofllco und noticing Kemp mid

10 the trial just closed was entrusted
to Judge Onto wood by D. L. Kemp
who, It seems, mudu no mistake when
ho emyloyed his lawyer. Gutowood
defended the t'umstock train robbers
und cleared them, Ho prosecuted J.
11 MiJer und got a hung jury, there
being eleven for conviction und ouo
for acauittal. Ho also defend A Pur
vey Jtiggs, who wus acquitted for kill
ing Duuson and Krhart. In tho Kemp
case it is said thu attorneys for tho de
fense led tho opposition to beitove
theru would be an uttemut to nrove an
alibi and malpractice, but insteud, by
keeping their hands covered they threw
off considerable attention from the
mum defense, which was to show self
defense und thu relation existing be
tween Dow und Kemp und the ten
dency of Dow to terrorlzo Kemp,
Gulewood ulso kept his main witnesses
in thu back ground until tho lUBt und
by showing that Dow wus wulkiug

. Friendship is a clovor card of tho old 'regular aild though it has no
place in business and only lasts until the timo is up, it has lured legions
to want and misory. When time is called and promises come instead
of payment, tho attorney handles the victim. Every season big mer

winded patrons many of whom they carry year in and year out tho final
