Arthur Blancett, Murderer of
Clyde D. Armour, Pays
Penalty for Crime on
The Scaffold.
Santa Fe, N. M July 9. Albert
V. Blancett, convicted of the mur
der of Clyde D. Armour, was liangcd
in the jail yard here at 5:22 o'clock
this morning:. The crime was com
mitted October 23, 1916. The case
has been in all state courts and a
plea for executive clemency was re
fused the man's mother.
The crime for which Albert W,
Blancett was convicted was the mur
der of Clyde D. Armour, near
Glorieta, N. if., about 20 miles east
of here, October 23, 1916.
Armour Sioux City Man.
Armour, who lived at Sioux City,
la., where he was employed as chief
clerk in the passenger office of the
Northwestern Railroad company,
left his home September 29, 1916, ac
companied by his mother and sis
ter, en route to California in a new
eight cylinder automobile. On ar
riving at Clarks, Neb., the sister was
taken ill and when recovered suf
ficiently to travel she and her
mother proceeded to their destina
tion, Fresno, Cal., by train. Clyde
Armour continued the trip by ante.
He arrived in Denver, October 19.
He asked the Y. M. C. A. at Den
ver to find a companion who desired
to travel by auto to the coast. Tho
"Y" being unable to find such a man,
Armour inserted a want ad in ov.i
of the Denver papers, which wa.i
answered by Blancett, an agreement
was reached ajid they started west
ward. Never Reached Santa Fe.
Armour never reached Santa Fe,
but a man representing himself to 1)2
Armour arrived here October 23,
registering a a local hotel. When
lie did so he committed the first in
riiscretion 'which led to his arrest
later on, as, when he started t
write "C. D. Armour" the first let
ter he made was "F.." This he
changed, making a "C" over the let
ter "E" which he had first written.
He remained here until October 27,
going then to Albuquerque, where
he sold the automobile for $500. The
right of October 30 he boarded a
train at Albuquerque and evidently
went straight through to California.
By November 13 Mrs. Armour
who, with her daughter, had reached
Fresno, became so alarmed over the
tailure of her son to arrive that she
began investigation. Her son-in-law,
Myron T. Sawyer, went to
Needles, Cal., from which point
Mrs. Armour had received a mes
sage, purporting to be from her son,
tc the effect that he had sold tht
tar and would continue his trip to
Fresno by train. Inspecting the
origins! of this telegram, Mr. Saw
yer at once decided that it was a
torgery. Sawyer went to San Diego
and Los Angeles and finally came
on to Alubquerque and Santa Fe.
Much Sleuthing Done.
About this time Armour's two
brothers arrived liere from Sioux
City to take charge of the search
They learned. .that the man who
posed as Armour, during some of
his conversations had' said that he
once lived near Aztec, San Juan
county, and mentioned the name of
his mother, Who had remarried fol
lowing the death of her first hus
band, Blancett's father. This is be
lieved to have furnished the officers
with the clew which led to his ar
rest at the home of his mother at
Friday Harbor, Wash., December
31, 1916, the family having moved
there from New Mexico.
After Blancett was arrested he re
quested permission to step into a
cook shack to "say good-by" to
somebody. A moment later there
was a report of a gunshot from the
interior of the shack. Investigation
- showed that Blancett has almost
ended his life by firing a charge of
shot into his neck. When asked why
he replied: "I couldn't tell mother."
Found Armour's Body.
.Although a diligent search was
made in the mountains east of here.
Armour's body was not found until
January 14. when a dog belonging
to Antonio Sandoval y Griego walked
into the house carrying a part of a
human leg bone, on which a shoe
still remained. Antonio followed the
dog on the back trail and found the
bones that remained of ; Armour's
body in an arroyo 300 yards from
the main road. About 20 feet away
from the skeleton lay a shotgun and
some clothing. Marks on the cloth
ing and papers in the pockets served
to indicate that the clothes were Ar
mour's. At an autopsy held later on
six shots were taken from the base
of the skull, indicating that the fatal
shot was fired from behind, severing
arteries and inflicting a wound from
which the victim quickly bled to
death.
Blancett was placed on trial in the
Santa Fe county district court April
13, 1917. The jury returned a verdict
of guilty of murder in the first de
gree April 24. Blancett, when placed
on the witness stand, admitted shoot
ing Armour but said it was an acci
dent. He said he got out of the car
to hunt and that while he was walk
ing behind Armour he stumbled and
in trying to save himself from fall
ing the gun he was carrying was dis
charged Five Generals Have
Revolted Against New
Mexican Government
Mexico City, July 9. Five gen
erals have taken up arms against
the new Mexican government, Pro
visional President De la Huerta told
foreign correspondents last night,
but he declared they did not consti
tute a miliary menace, since they
had but very few followers. Ho
estimated that not more than 500
men had been involved in recer.c
outbreaks.
He asserted the army had been
reorganized, that unstable forces
could not shake the administration.
"The Carranza government," said
De la Huerta, laughing, "stood for
more than four years against over
25,000 rebels, and there is no reason
why the present government cannot
contend with less than 504,"
