Sheriff Frees Paroled Murderer in New Mexico Case
Octaviano Telles, convicted in 1908 for complicity in a Valencia county murder, had served over three years believing he had a governor’s parole. Governor McDonald discovered no parole was granted and ordered Telles’s arrest and return to custody. After a long absence, he was on a train toward Albuquerque when a supposed parole was allegedly granted, allowing his release. The governor criticized political influence and promised to prevent such miscarriages, hinting at other possible cases from Territorial days.
