Fifteen Men Charged with Murder After New Mexico Riot
In Gallup New Mexico on April 6 fifteen men were charged with first degree murder after a coroner's inquest found the riot that killed Sheriff Carmichael to be cold blooded murder. The charges stem from a riot in which a crowd opposed by guards killed a peace officer and an unemployed miner and wounded seven others. Four defendants including a 15 year old girl were dismissed. Authorities held more than 200 guards as more than 100 radicals were rounded up and detained in a converted jail at the courthouse. All defendants pleaded not guilty at preliminary hearings.
