MEXICO INDIAN FEARS
IS DOOMED TO DIE
SHOT AT AMERICAN OFFICER.
MISSED HIM THREE TIMES,
NOW FEARS REVENGE.
i TUCSON, Aris., March SO.—The
ways of the white man are beyond
i the com prehension of Jesus Uerita.
• a Chihuahua Indian from Mexico
. who is now held in the Puna Coun
i ty jail here. He cannot understand
why his execution is being delayed.
Each morning he asks the jailer
plaintively if that is the day on
' which he is to be taken cut and
shot because he attempted to kill
■ Policeman John Duffy.
"An eye for an an eye and a
tooth for a tooth” is the tribal
Saw of the Chihuahuas, and L’erita
does not know that there is any
other Saw in the world He says
• that as he has shot at Duffy three
, times the logical thing to do is to
stand him in a corner and give
Duffy three shots at him.
'I shot at Duffy and I deserve
to die," he told the justice when
he was arraigned on a ch arge of
attempted murder. "I am sorry
, that I did so because I might have
hit some of the children who were
near by. When am I to be shot?”
When it was explained to him
that he might be sent to the peni
tentiary. but that he certainly would
not be executed, he shook his head
: perplexity and answered. “No
sahe." (I don’t understand.)
"They are going to shoot me,”
he said caimly when he returned
to the jail, and asked that a local
merchant be sent in. When the
merchant arrived he ordered a new
suit of clothes, shirt, shoes, hat.
watch and two rings- “I want to
be ail dressed up when I’m shot,’’
he explained. >
T-erisa had been convicted of dis
' -rbing the peace and was serving
on the city chain gang when Duffy
tried to show him how to use a
rake. He became angered, seized
the officer’s gun and flyred three
times.
