ld  be  lynched, 
and  Sheriff  Luna  conveyed  him  to  Albuquerque 
and  placed  him  in  the  Bernalillo  county  jail 
for  safe  keeping.

Public  feeling  ran  high,  and  when  Sheriff 
Luna  was  on  his  way  to  Romero’s  house  to  make 
the  arrest,  he  was  followed  by  a crowd  of  in- 
censed citizens.

Friends  of  the  accused  are  trying  to  shift 
the  responsibility  of  the  dastardly  crime  on  to 
tramps  who  were  said  to  be  lurking  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  depot,  and  that  the  shot  which 
extinguished  the  life  spark  of  the  beautiful 
young  girl,  was  fired  at  them.

Be  that  as  it  may,  the  guilty  party  will 
surely  be  brought  to  justice,  and  ’tis  said  that 
strong  circumstantial  evidence  has  been  found, 
which  connects  the  name  of  Frank  Romero 
with  the  crime.

The  young  lady  victim  had  an  army  of 
friends  who  will  see  that  the  guilty  one,  if  he 
can  be  found,  is  brought  to  justice,  and  her 
cruel  death  avenged.

Murders  have  become  entirely  too  frequent 
in  our  territory,  and  murderers  are  too  seldom 
punished  to  satisfy  the  ends  of  justice.  If  a 
few  more  hangings  took  place  they  might  have 
a salutory  effect  inasmuch  as  they  would  intimi- 
date intending  murderers.

Wm.  Davis,  charged  with  the  murder  of 
Huey  Fox,  at  Pinos  Altos,  Christmas  last,  ob- 
tained a change  of  venue  to  Dona  Ana  county.
