It will be remembered that a Mexican by the name of Aval was shot dead in Pinos Altos last fall, and his assassin never captured. There is a theory that the body found might be that of the murderer, having been left there by the friends of Aval, who did not believe in awaiting the slow process of law for justice.

It is barely possible that the man might have fallen into the shaft, but the chances seem to be ten to one that he was assisted by others, either before or after his death.
