ALBUQUERQUE EVENING CITIZEN. SATi nnAY, Arc.t'ST 107. THumr CHINAMAN IS IN JUAREZ BIG SEA OF TROUBLE Blackmailed by Another Chink, and Now May Be Deported. Phoenix. AuRiist 3.

Thp case of Horn Wo filling, arrested In rr-cott on the charge of being unlawfully In this country, wan concluded yesterday before Commissioner Johnstone, who will render a decision this afternoon. The decision, however, will not likely be the end the for whatever It may be. nn iippeal will almost certainly be taken. The case Is one of unusual Interest. The main thing to be determined is whether the defendant left the United States at any time after there had been a determination of his right to be here.

The Chinese Six fompanles who peldom take part In cases of this kind, have had an agent. On Oee. on the scene fur weeks gathering Information relating to the case. The Interest of the Six Companies lien In the supposition that Horn Wo Chong. whatever his status may be.

Is the victim of a Chinese blackmailer who has been engaged as Informer to the Inspection officials. The officials are not blamed with the shortcomings of the blackmailer; their employment of him as Informer Is recognized as legitimate, and It Is naturally assumed that they are not aware that he Is preying upon his countrymen. A IjokiiI ItrxiilfMit. Horn Wo Chong at the time the exclusion act went Into force, was a merchant and ns such had a right to be In the country. He subsequently ceased to be a merchant and became a common laborer.

He was arrested In 1903 and tried at Prescott before Judge Sloan. The charge against him was dismissed and his status at that time was legally settled. It Is charged though that he has since lost the rights secured to him then, by going back to China and returning to this country by way of Mexico. Horn Wo Chong says he has never been out of the country. He brought a great deal of testimony by persons living In Trescott, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland covering his movements since 1903.

There la a hiatus though, of several months, which the Chinaman himself Jills in, but for that period he can bring no corroborating testimony. It is charged that he went to China on account of the death of his mother and returned In 1906. He can account for a part of that year by proof that he was at San Francisco at the time of the earthquake and took refuse In Oakland, when Chinatown was destroyed. Testimony Not Accurate. One of the witnesses against him was a man by the name of Forbes, brought here from Ensenada, Lower California, where he was employed as a stevedore.

He said that he recognized Horn Wo Chong as a man he aw land at Knsenada last year. On cross examination he said that he had never seen the Chinaman before that his attention was not particularly attracted to him and that he had never seen him since. Another witness was Bernard Manning In the United States Immigration service, stationed at Matzclan. He had previously seen the Chinaman at San Diego and knew him well. He was at Tl Juana and saw Horn Wo Chong get out of the stage from Knsenada and spoke to him but the Chinaman did not recognize him.

Mr. Manning was quite positive and created the impression that he meant to tell the truth, though on his cross examination he made a statement, also doubtless honestly made, which was disproved by the records, and naturally left the accuracy of the rest of his testimony in doubt. Mr. Manning describing the circumstances of his ncqu'iintance with Horn Wo Chong at San Diego, said that he knew him there in the summer of 19113. This acquaintance extended over the whole summer.

Of that, Mr. Manning had not the slightest doubt. Hut the records show that the order dismissing the charge against Horn Wo Chong was made by Judge Sloan on July 22 of that year, and It was shown that the Chinaman had been in Prescott for some considerable period before that as well as after that. Itlnckiuniler Kscapes. The blackmailing feature naturally did not get Into this case, but the Chinaman said that there was another Chinaman at Prescott who by the way, has supplied the Inspection officials with a great deal of Information regarding Chinese; that this Chinaman had come to him twice and held him up, each time for $ft).

representing that he hid a pull with the government and that unless the money was paid Horn Wo Chong would be deported. Horn Wo Chong each time paid the money. Some time before his arrest the Informer approached him again, this time demanding llf.ii; he told him that unless he paid him that sum he would be arrested and after serving three years In j.tll he would be sent hack to China. Horn Wo Chong said that he did not have the money and could not get it. The informer called on him teveial times, with the same result.

The last time he visited him while he was working at Mayer. The Informer went away saying that he would now be arrested and his ar-i lest immediately followed.

KI Pnso, Texas, August 3.

The latest development In the disappearance of Mayor S. Montemayor from Juarez is the receipt Thursday afternoon of a telegram from Tucson stating that Montemayor had been seen In that place and ihat he was en route to California. It Is said that the telegram was received by the customs house officials and that the officials are trying to reach the missing mayor. From Information obtained In Juarez this morning the telegram was brief, meiely announcing the fact that Montemayor had passed through Tucson. This information backs up the story that Montemayor left Juarez In a carriage and went to a station on the Southern Pacific a few miles west of El Paso, where ho attempted to flag a train.

He was unsuccessful In the attempt and drove over to Pelea station, on the El Paso and Southwestern, where he flagged a westbound train and succeeded In getting aboard. Ills Peculiar Actions. Why Montemayor should 'cave Juarez In a carriage to go to a secluded spot to flag a train if he was merely on a search for his rephj-w, tSenaro Moreno, who is said by certain Juarez officials to be missing and who Is alleged to have caused the trouble for Montemayor, is a question that Is not clear to many. The Juarez officials still Insist that Montemayor Is away from the city on a pearch for his nephewand that he will return within 30 days and settle up all matters satisfactorily. Humors are current that Montemayor never left Juarez, but that he was arrested and that since his arrest has been In Jail.

These rumors, upon investigation, appear to have been without foundation. Two Americans, who are personally acquainted with Montemayor and Chief of Police Ponce, state positively thiu they saw the mayor and the chief of police Just before they flagged the El Paso Southwestern train at Pelea, N. and also saw Montemayor board the train. A report that Moreno, nephew of Montemayor, has been apprehended and Jailed In Juarez is also denied by the authorities. JEROME MINES MAKE EXCELLENT SHOWING Jerome, Ausrust 3.

The wideaiwake lining men keep a sharp watch upon the condition of the metal markets there can be no question. In any gathering of miners or Investors in the Jerome district the probable trend of the copper metal market forms one of the most frequent topics of discussion, and some very close figuring Is often done on the basis of price fluctuations amounting to but a quarter of a cent. The one fact that always holds a prominent place In these calculation is that the average production coi for the red metal Is around 10 cents per pound, so that substantial profits would still be assured to the producers even In the very Improbable event of concessions to far below the present prices. (Meanwhile the Verdp Grande Copper company and all other well known developing enterprises are rushing forward their operations at full speed, and an additional Incen tive In this work Is found in the realization that the future course of metal prices Is quite as likely to be upward and downward; even If in view of general conditions the prob abilities do not look towards a decid ed uplift In the months Immediately ahead.

ITALIC FARE OR BETTER J. A. WEINMAN President FUGITIVE TAKEN TO JAIL AT Alan. Who Stabbed His Wife to Get Rid of Her. Captured.

Phoenix. August 3. Antonio Palimlnlo has been arrested and will be held to discuss matters with the authorities. Antonio, It seems, several weeks ago decided that marriage was a failure and the best way to make one successful was to sever the marital relations. He was working on the Arizona canal at the time that his mind had worked around to this condition, and he concluded to wuit on Madame Palimlnlo and break the news to her.

When he got home he told the woman that fate decreed that they must separate. Mrs. Palimlnlo took rather kindly to the Idea, but brought forward the proposition that Antonio pay the grocery bill. To to this Antonio demurred and left home In a huff; he also left the grocery bill. Wouldn't Pay Hills.

Rut still the marriage relations weighed heavily on him, and Saturday night he returned home to bring matters to a final settlement. He Informed Madame Palimlnlo. that he had been reading more literature anent the failure of marriages; that he was still in doubt as to what Ella Wheeler Wilcox thought nbout it; but that the general trend of authorities Indicated that when two married people got tired tif wedlock the best thing was to sever the relation at once. The authorities seemed to differ as to the method of dissolution, but he was too poor to try the divorce court and he thought that he would take the next best plan. Viililiic Divorce MetlMNl.

AVith this, he reached down into his pocket, drew forth his knife and prepared to put nn end to a further discussion of the matter. Ry this time Madame Palimlnlo was on the move, I ut she did not move fast enough and Antonio succeeded In stabbing her In the breast. The only thing that saved the woman from death was a largo rib that nature seems to have wisely provided for the occasion. After the first blow the woman succeeded In getting away without being dangerously hurt, and Antonio made tracks for the construction camp on the Arizona canal. He was found there after a long and tiresome search, and If the woman continues in her present mood the chances are that he will soon go down to Yuma to work for a very strong financial Institution.
