THE VERDICT IN
THE RICH CASE
Mrs. Rich Now Calm And Re
signed to Her Fate.
REVIEW OF THE CRIME
And Of the Trial And Testimony
Which Confines Her To a Peni
tentiary For Fourteen Years
me decision in the Kioh case was
officially made public yesterday after
noon at 5 o'clock after the attorneys
bad elven their notioe of appeal
although it was communicated in full
to Mrs. Rich in her cell earlier. As
stated in yesterday's Herald she was
found guilty and sentenced to fourteen
years imprisonment. This is six years
less than the maximum penalty that
might have been imposed under th?
law of the stat9. Mrs. Rich is now
calm and has nothing to say and is
more resigned than she was yesterday
when she first heard the verdict.
The decision reviews the entire case
and the testimony at considerable
length from the evening before the
shooting when Mrs. Rich entered the
Moctezuma saloon and telephoned the
Herald and Times offices and when
as she claims she found her husband in
company with a woman down to the
time of her extradition and prelimin
ary hearing before Judge Dominguez.
The judge first states the nature of
HE GOT HER.
But- Mr. Simmons you are so awfully ugly.
Yes but opposites should marry.
the evidence throughout and then
proceeds to draw conclusions. The
finding of her husband in company
with Mrs. Cheatham on the previous
evening is taken to furnish a motive
for the crime and her course of conduct
on that evening in the store and later
in the Moctezuma saloon is taken to
show her stale of mind and her feelings
towards her husband.
The evidence of several witnesses is
cited to tbe effect that they heard a
cry of pain and the thud made by a
body falling to tae floor in Klch's
apartments abaut a o clock In the
morning and one that he heard a shot
fired. The testimocy as to subsequent
events is chiefly that of Arthur Hose-
mond that lllch told blm his wife bad
shot him and of the Chioeae cook to
the effect that Mrs. Rich had refused
htm admittance to the apartments that
morning.

Informs and warns her accordingly.
No pardon Is recomended in the de
cision and nothing can be done about
that until after it is acted upon by the
supreme court at Chihuahua.
When the notice of aDDeal was srlven
Mrs. Rich stated to the court she was
desirous of securing the services of
Lie. Ernesto Romero with whom she
negotiated before the trial. She savs
he offered his services several times
and sbe intended to make a final effort
togethimln the further conduct of
the case. This was allowed by the
court.
The murder for which Mrs. Rich was
tried was committed on the morning of
April 27th 188!) just three days after
the new extradition treaty went into
effect. Rich was shot with a pistol and
the bullet went through the body and
was never found. Neither was the pis-
tol found.
According to the contention of tte
prosecution the crime was committed
about 5 o'clock a. m. in the apartments
occupied by Rich and his wife and was
the result of jealousy on the part of Mrs.
Kicn. iMoone beard the shot. The
authorities of Juarez knew nothing of
the shooting until they read the ac
counts in the El Paso papers.
a oout o o clock in the morninsr. Dr.
F. W. Gallagher received a telephone
message from Juarez to come at once.
He replied he was busy and would not
bo able to go until later. The an
swer was that he must come at once.
Shortly after this Dr. Jesus M. Guerra.
a well known physician of Juarez was
called by Mrs. Rich to attend her
husband whom he found lvinc in bed
desperately wounded. Seeing an oper-
ation would be necessary Dr. Guerra
went to summon another physician to
assist him. Dr. Guorra was told the
shooting wa3 an accident and did not
consider it necessary to report it to
the authorities. About 8 o'clock be
fore Dr. Guerra 'd returo Mrs. Rich
wftovS
wounded.
Not wishing to know too much the
physician asked no qustiocs but seeing
an operation would be absolutely
necessary he told Mrs. Rich he must
be brought over to the hospital before
anything could be- done. Mrs. R!ch
assented and the doctor returned home.
A little later Rich and his wife arrived
at the Hotel Dieu in El Paso In a hack.
Susploion was at once directed to
Mrs. Rich as. the author of the crime.
A long history of the family was dug
up to show the state of feeling existing
between the husband and wire and it
was shown that they had quarreled the
evening before about a woman in
whose company Kion was. While in
the hospital Rich stated to different
parties that his wife had shot him and
just before his death the prosecution
alleges he made a sworn statement to
that effect.
The arrest af Mrs. Rich followed. It
was done by the state authorities and
was. in the opinion of lawyers abso
lutely illegal . Her attorneys waived a
preliminary heading when she was ar
raigned before Justice Spencer intend
ing to sue out a writoi naoeas corpus in
the district court. Mrs Rich however
refused to sign . the necessary papers
and declared they were betraying her
Hence she remained in jail until Con
sul Mallen on behalf of the Mexican
government applied for her extradi-
ton and for the nret time in history
tne United btates was called upon
to surrender om of Its
a foreign government.
own citizens to I
The woman's conduct while in jail
convinced many persons that she was
insane. She engaged half a dozan law-
yers in succession and discharged each
under the pretence they were trying to
betray her. Judge A. G. Wilcox re-
presented her before the commissioner
and she treated him the earns way.
The commissioner decided she must
go back to Mexico and in spite of many
vigorous protests the state department
confirmed this decision and she was
taken across the river by ttre United
States marshal wrapped in an Amer-
ican flag.
Since then she has imagined every
one to be conspiring against her in-
cluding the judge her lawyers and
everyone who has tried to help her.
She had no money to engage a lawyer

the court so the trial was postponed

very abusive especially to the former
judge of letters Lie. Francisco Do-
minguez. Mrs. Rich is a native of Chicago and
of German parentage. Prior tot her
marriage sbe was a vurk-.ty actress and
appeared in the part of a pugilist.
She claims to have traveled with the
'Black Crook" and other companies.
Her husband John D. Rich was of
an excellent family and his father
George Rich is a bank cashier at Fort
Dodge Iowa. He was a wayward son
who left home in early life and had
been a number of years iu Mexico.
He met his wife during a visit to
Chicago and they were married at Las
Cruoes in 1893. Rich was for seven
years agent of the Mexican Central at
Torreon and at the time of his death

International Grocerv in Juarez.
Docking Horaea.
Docking horses took its rise in the dark
days when bull and bear baiting was
honored by a place in the category of
snort rightly now relegated by law to
the catalogue of outrage. This custom
of docking was once generally applied to
English roadsters hunters and harness
horses. The only useful purpose it ever
served was in the Peninsular war when
British dragoons could be most easily
distinguished from French by their cock
tails. It fell into disuse with the decline
of road coaches and we owe its unwel
come revival to their partial restoration.
It is senseless barbarous and dis6gur-
Ing; it inflicts needless suffering upon
brood mares and horses turned out to
grass depriving them of their natural
defense against flies besides the severe
pain and shock caused by the operation
itself. It should be discouraged in every
possible way by influential persons by
those who lead the fashion in such things
and agricultural societies should be mov
ed to refuse prizes to exhibits which have j
undergone this mutilation. Blackwood.

Opinions Of Many Citi-
zens On the War.
SYMPATHY FOR BOERS
Host People Think the English Will
Eventually Win By Weight Of
Numbers But a Majority Are
For the Boers In Their Struggle.
This morning a Herald reporter
on his rounds interviewed a number of
citizens asking each this question:
''Which in your opinion will win In
South Africa the English or the
Boers?"
Some of the answers are interesting
as snowing the state of public reel-
ing. Recorder C. B. Patterson Well I
begin to think the Boers may win.
County Cierk Park Pittman That
is something you can't tell much about.
If the numbers were eaual. I would
say the Boers but if the English keep
on pouring troops into the country
tney will probably win. My sympa-
thies are with the under dog. Now

James Moore I don't know what to

will drive the English into the
sea.
Sam Bridgers I agree with Mr.
Moore. I hope tbe Boer? will kill the
English off as fast as tbey get thereC
James Clifford I think tbe Boers

willing to die if I could first see the
British empire in fragments.
Sam Dwyer The English will win
eventually but they will have no easy
task.
E. E. Russell The-e are two ways
out of it. One is for the English to win.
The other is to fight until both sides
are worn out and then settle it by arbi-
tration. I think there is one chance
for the Boers ti win outright. The
only way for that is to overthrow the
pre.-ent conservative government and
if the liberals come into power they
will virtually surrender to tbem as
Gladstone did before But there does
not seem to be much chance of that.
