from
Brown Corpus
Word reached the company that the man behind these depredations was Manuel Gonzales, a man with many followers, including a number who were kept in line through fear of him.
Although wanted by the sheriff for killing an old man named Asher Jones, the warrant for his arrest had never been served.
On May 19, a deputy sheriff's posse of eight men left Maxwell City and rode thirty-five miles up the Vermejo where they were joined by Juan Jose Martinez.
By 3:00 A.M. they reached his house and found it vacant.
When they were refused entrance to his brother's house nearby, they smashed down the door, broke the window, and threw lighted clothes wet with kerosene into the room.
Still there was no Gonzales and the family would say nothing.
