The TIMES Sunday morning reported
the death of Hun. Leon Albarez. who
died at Hotel Dien Saturday evening
from the effect of an accidental shot
from some unknown person's gun. Mr.
Albarez resided at La Union, a little
settlement in Dona Ana county, New
Mexico, near Anthony. Last Wednes-
day he was out walking when suddenly
he heard the sharp report of a ritie some
distance away, and at the same instant
a bullet ploughed through his stomach.
Mr Albarez could not see any one and
could not imagine who had shot him,
but supposed it was a stray bullet from
the gun of some hunter, 'lie was
brought to El Paso and placed in Hotel
Dien where he died as stated, still in
ignorance ss to who had killed him.
Mr. Albarez was highly esteemed by
his neighbors, ile had served Dona
Ana county several terms as county
commissioner and was elected justice
of the peace last month. Before dyiug
lie is reported as having said .
*1 know of no one sufficiently hostile
to have murdered me, except. i»erhaps,
a young man who had been forbidden
my premises ”
A BOV ACCUSED.
Yesterday Justice Speucer was asked
to investigate into the matter, and lie
examined three witnesses. Dr. Horsely
testified as to the character of the fatal
wound. He said that the bullet, which
he judged was a K0 calibre, entered the
abdomen about two inches above and
to the left of the nabel and came out on
j the left side on a level with the point of
entrance.
Laura C. and Louis E. Albarez, chil-
dren of the deceased, swore that the
shooting was done by Jesus Ochoa, Jr
They could allege no cause for tin*
shooting, but were positive in assert-
ing that, young Ochoa, a boy la years
old. living near Anthony, was guilty of
the deed.
YOUNG OCHOA S CONFESSION.
Jesus Ochoa, father of the young lad
accused of shooting Albarez, was in El
Paso yesterday, and to a Times re-
porter made the following statement;
Last Tuesday morning l left home to
take my wife to Ubihaubua, leaving mv
son Jesus and the rest of the family at
home On my return from Chihuahua
to El Paso Sunday I heard on the streets
that Leon Albarez had been shot and 1
continued my journey home. <)u ar
riving there I inquired of my son if
there was anything new. He replied
that on Wednesday at about 1 p. m ,
while at the house he saw two turtle
doves about two hundred yards away
i and thought he would try his marks-
manship on them. He said he took his
rifle, a 41-Winchester, and shot at the
doves and failed to touch them. He
said that before shooting he was care-
ful to make sure that no person or ani
mal was in range of bis tire. He could
see no one but there were high thick
bushes on the other side of the doves
and he could not see through those
bushes. But he said he was confident
that the bullet he fired at the doves was
the same bullet, that proved so fatal for
Albarez. My son said that being dis-
gusted over the aim In* put up the rifle
and was still in the house when he heard
the excited voices of a number of peo-
ple who were shouting to each other,
lie went up on the roof of the house to
ascertain what the excitement was
about. The first man be saw was Vi-
| cinto Garcia, on horseback, and Garcia
asked him if he knew who had fired that
shot. The excitement of Garcia satis-
fied my son that the shot had done some
damage to something, so he was afraid
to acknowledge that he fired it and dis-
claimed any knowledge as to who fired
it. My son. anxious to discover what
had happened hurried ont to the place

level
where Albarez lay surrounded by a j
number of people. Albarez asked him I
if he knew who fired the shot and he |
replied that he did not. Several of the j
men present in a very excited manner !
turned on my son and said: You are ; ,
the one that fired that shot." Albarez j"
agreed with them and told my boy he J .
was very ungrateful. My son said he j /
wanted to confess to Albarez and tell j
him about the doves and how it hap j j
pened, but be was afraid of violence at j
the hands of the men. |i
“But I know that lay boy has told me j
the truth and that, he is innocent of hav- j ,
iug intended harm to Leon Albarez or ! ’
to any one else. I leave for Isis Cruces j
on the morning train; mv son will meet j I
me at Anthony and I will take him to
Las Cruces and turn him over to the j |
authorities of Dona Ana county No j
one saw my son do the shooting, but he j,
made the confession to me jnst as 1 have
stated it, 11 you and 1 am the only • per- J ,
son besides himself and you who know |
tonight how that fatal shot was fired."
Mr. Ochoa speaks English, is a very I
intelligent man and appears to deeply |
regret the unfortunate accident which ] |
caused bis neighbor's death. Mr. Ochoa j
is a man of considerable means and en- I .
joys the confidence and esteem of his
neighbors.
