Sacoman chased Martinez, and another shot was fired. In the meantime, Donald put everything from Martinez's car into his own. according to the affidavit. Armed with Martinez's gun, Sacoman chased him on foot, while Donald pursued Martinez in his car. When Sacoman and Donald returned, they wiped Martinez's car clean with a rag and stated, "Brian's dead," the affidavit says.

Sacoman and Donald are being held in the Bernalillo County Detention Center each on $200,000 bond. Brian Martinez, whose body was found last Tuesday on a mesa north of Albuquerque, had been robbed and fatally shot during a drug deal, two witnesses told Bernalillo County Sheriffs detectives. The information is contained in a search warrant affidavit filed in District Court explaining why detectives wanted to search a home on Lola NE. Arrested at the home last Thursday and booked on an open charge, of murder were Ernie Sacoman, 19, and Michael Donald, 21, who live there. Martinez's body was found by a hiker Martinez "at this time armed himself with a pistol, stated to be a .357 Magnum," the affidavit says.

Martinez drove up to the meeting place, but started to leave when he didn't see the contact. Then Donald and Sacoman drove up and forced him to stop. Sacoman, armed with a Ruger Mini-14 rifle, got out and forced Martinez to empty his pockets, the affidavit says. "A shot was fired and Brian started arrangements for Martinez to buy the valium from a man but Donald, Sacoman and others plotted to rob Martinez when he arrived at the contact's home. When Martinez showed up, Donald "in a disguise" approached him with a baseball bat and tried to rob him, but Martinez fled.

Arrangements were made to complete the drug deal the next afternoon, Monday, at a dump at the north end of Wyoming NE. near Los Angeles and Wyoming NE. An autopsy showed that Martinez, of Christy NE, had been shot seven times. Based on interviews with two witnesses, Detective Marvin Mittlestat pieced together the following scenario, which he outlines in the affidavit: Martinez, 18, had asked Donald and others if they could arrange for him to make "a large purchase of valium" on Sunday, Feb. 16.

Donald, according to the affidavit, made 2 is Garage Sale Earns Pair $10 Fine From City By Johanna King JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Bonnie and Dana Dinham held a garage sale recently to earn a little extra cash for a winter trip to Disneyland. The Northeast Heights couple gathered unworn jewelry, outgrown clothing, used books and dust-collecting knickknacks, tagged the items and put them on display. Then they placed a couple of boxes on nearby street medians to announce the sale. Not more than 15 minutes after the sale was under way, the Dinhams received a $10 citation. They were told their signs were illegally placed on public property, i A city ordinance makes it illegal to place or affix signs on street medians, lamp posts, public utility poles, public right-of-ways or shade trees.

Lucy Molina, a code enforcer for the city's Weed and Litter Division, said the only place such signs are permitted is on private property. Ms. Molina is one of four code enforcers who spend their weekends citing people for illegally placed advertisements. She said no one is exempt from the law, including businesses and real-estate agents. 4 JOURNAL PHOTO RICHARD PIPES Gale McPnerson cleans one of two pit houses found on ancient Anasazi Indian settlement in west Albuquerque.

And those who break the law must pay. Anasazi Site Special for Hopis, Scientists "People do get upset," Ms. Molina said. "They say they are not aware of the ordinance. But we did go out for more than a year and warned people verbally." By Arley Sanchez JOURNAL STAFF WRITER The law which is part of the city's litter ordinance went into effect in the late 1960s.

But Ms. Molina said the division did not begin citing people without warning until 1984. Mrs. Dinham said she had never heard of the law before she was cited. "What made me mad is that we said we would go and take the excavation, which he said signified the presence of a cooking or storage area.

Other faint signs indicated a garbage disposal area. Noting that his team has been unable to find wooden artifacts that could more precisely determine the age of the settlement, Sullivan said broken pottery fragments date the settlement at about 1200 A.D. "There were likely hundreds of these, settlements from the same period, but with construction and development in Albuquerque, most of these sites have been destroyed," Sullivan said. "That's what makes this site pretty significant." Sullivan said more will be known about the settlement once recovered material is analyzed. He said a report on the project will be done in four or five months.

He estimated the dig teams will be working for at least another two weeks at the site. The $10,000 cost of the project is being financed by the state Highway Department. The site is located in the path of a project to link North and South Coors boulevards. and Sage SW. Polingyouma indicated the site may have once have belonged to the Hopis or could be the ancient home of a New Mexico pueblo tribe.

"We're the same type of people and we both still practice our religious ceremonies," he said. Polingyouma said the Hopis typically conduct a purification ceremony when building a new home. This is one of the first sites to be purified outside the Hopi reservation, he said. During the ceremony, members of the news media were kept outside a fence surrounding the settlement, where archaeologists have been working for the past two months. Richard Sullivan, project director with the Museum of New Mexico's Laboratory of Anthropology, gave a brief tour of the site to the Hopi officials.

He showed them the excavated remains of two pit houses, which were the underground dwellings of the Anasazi. The rounded roofs of the small houses were made with adobelike materials, he said. Sullivan pointed out a round hole in the bottom of the pit house, which he said was probably a hearth. The absence of ashes meant that round cobblestones probably were heated outside and then brought into the house and placed in the hearth, he said. Sullivan showed the tribal leaders a remnant of a pendant probably made from the shell of a fresh water clam once prevalent in the Rio Grande but now found only in the Pecos River.

As Joshevna held a fragment of a metate, or corn grinder, Sullivan explained that the land around the pit houses was once planted with beans, squash or corn. Some of the "features" of the 4V2-foot deep excavations were evident only to an archaeologist's trained eye. For example, Sullivan pointed to a layer of ash-colored earth about 6 inches below the top of the signs down, but she (Ms. Molina) said no, she had to give us a Noisy city traffic barreled down South Coors Boulevard while Val Jean Joshevna, an elder in the Hopi tribe, quietly conducted a centuries-old ceremony to cleanse the home of his ancestors. Joshevna and Eric Polingyouma, also of the Hopi tribe, came to Albuquerque's busy West Side Monday to purify an almost 800-year-old settlement that once was home to the Anasazi Indians, or the "Ancient Ones," believed to be the ancestors of the Hopi and Pueblo Indians.

"There might have been evil left here because of disease, because of warfare, or other things the people may have experienced here, and we don't want to uncover that," Joshevna said, explaining the purpose of the purification ceremony. "The evil might come out again." The settlement is dug onto a terrace overlooking the Rio Grande near South Coors ticket, Mrs. Dinham recalled, Ms. Molina said people are given 15 minutes to remove the signs. If they do not, they will be fined again, she said.

While many people are still Hutzel Says Ailment Stumping Doctors Police Locate Missing Nurse's Sports Car 4 By Johanna King JOURNAL STAFF WRITER -r rv unfamiliar with the ordinance, Ms. Molina said it is better known now than it was a few years ago. "There was a time that we'd issue an easy 20 to 25 tickets a day," she said.

"Now, depending on the weekend, we give out about 10. There have been times lately that we've only issued one." The city's zoning division also enforces laws governing garage sales, but chief zoning inspector Doug Crandall said his division gives warnings before issuing citations. A ticket from a zoning inspector could cost a resident $70, he said. The restriction on advertising is one of several concerning garage sales, Crandall said. Residents are allowed to hold only one garage sale at a dwelling unit within a year, and that sale may not last more than three days.

The time restrictions were established, he said, because city officials did not want private homes to turn into second-hand stores. The ordinance also restricts the type of items bought and sold at garage sales. Sale items may not be bought for resale and they must be the type of things normally accumulated by a household. People breaking any of the restrictions can be fined, Crandall said. 'V out.

I'm two years out and usually rejection happens within six months after a transplant." Ms. Hutzel spent Monday taking tests to determine what was causing her heart to work so hard. She said doctors injected a dye into her bloodstream and a machine took pictures of the heart while it was pumping. The tests showed there had been no improvement since she entered the Tucson hospital last week. So Ms.

Hutzel said doctors are now talking about changing her medication. Ms. Hutzel said she will have to take the new medication for a couple of months before it is determined whether she needs to have another transplant. She said she hopes to spend that time at home in Albuquerque. Ms.

Hutzel said the possibility of another transplant has remained in the back of her mind since she first entered the Tucson hospital more than two years ago. She received the heart from an unidentified donor on Dec. 5, 1983. A sports car belonging to Debbie Lansdell, a Belen nurse who has been missing more than five months, was found by State Police on Monday. Mike Francis, a State Police investigator, said the car was found Monday afternoon in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 1520 Gold SE in Albuquerque.

Miss Lansdell, 29, disappeared from her Belen apartment Sept. 21. Francis said the car, a 1978 rust-colored Porsche 924, was found after a tip was received that the car had been at that location for several months. Francis said a team from the State Police crime lab will examine the car today. He said investigators have no other information about Miss Lansdell's whereabouts or her condition.

"Right now, we're just waiting for the crime lab to process it to to see if they find anything that might help us in the case," Francis said. "We don't know at this point Two days before she was hospitalized, heart transplant recipient Carol Anne Hutzel was shoveling snow outside her home in the Sandia Mountains. She said she felt great. But early last week, shortness of breath and a pounding in her chest forced Ms. Hutzel, 31, to enter an Albuquerque hospital.

The next thing she knew, she was on her way back to the Health and Sciences Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she received a new heart two years ago. "I decided I wanted to live awhile longer, so I went to where my odds are best," Ms. Hutzel said. The doctors initially thought Ms. Hutzel was rejecting her new heart.

But after almost a week of taking medication for rejection without any improvement, Ms. Hutzel said the doctors were stumped. "They don't know what to do," she said in a telephone interview from her Tucson hospital bed Monday. "Rejection is uncommon this far Carol Anne Hutzel Ms. Hutzel's heart was replaced when she was diagnosed as having cardiomyopathy.

A few weeks after the transplant, Ms. Hutzel went through rejection, but the problem was corrected with medication. "I'm better than I was," she said. "I'm able to get up and get around. I'm a little weak.

But it's all pretty confusing to me. I just hope I have the strength to go through it all over again." Debbie Lansdell whether there is anything in the car which might indicate something." The missing woman's mother, Shirley Lansdell of Peralta, said State Police notified her Monday about the break in the case. Mrs. Lansdell said she had been asked to go to State Police headquarters today to identify the car and to determine whether body damage on the car was present when her daughter disappeared..
