ARE THEY GUILTY?
A letter was received in this city from Col.
J. Francisco Chavez, superintendent of the peni-
tentiary, stating that information had been re-
ceived from Mexico that a criminal held in
prison for murder had confessed that he was
the murderer of the Chinese gardener below
this city. It will be remembered by Enterprise
readers that about two years ago, the two
Chinese gardeners who cultivated the place
below the Bremen mill were badly beaten up
and robbed by some Mexicans. One of the
Chinamen died from his injuries, the other re-
covering. Several Mexicans v/ere arrested for
the crime, and at the term of court, August last,
three of them were convicted for the crime,
and are now serving time in the penitentiary at
Santa Fe. If the information from Mexico is
correct, they are probably not guilty of the
crime for which they are serving time, and will
doubtless be pardoned.
