Jose Dominguez: Grant County Burglar
Lead
Jose Dominguez is a Mexican man who, with Desidoria Ochoa, burglarized Ed Dickenson's house in Grant County, New Mexico, in May [1].
The pair stole a suit of clothes, a rifle, and a double-barrelled shotgun [1]. A Deming officer captured them a few days later, finding skeleton keys and other burglary tools in their possession [1]. Marshal Cantley then traveled to Deming to bring Dominguez and Ochoa back for prosecution [2]. At trial, they claimed they had won the stolen goods in a card game with a stranger [1].
