On the last Thursday in January 1896, Colonel Albert Jennings
Fountain, accompanied by his eight-year-old son, Henry, left
Lincoln, New Mexico, in a buckboard to drive to his home in Las
Cruces. He never arrived. Later a pool of blood and a blood-soaked
handkerchief pointed to murder. Although indictments were returned,
no one was convicted of that murder, one of New Mexico's most
talked-about mysteries. During the territory's development,
Fountain, the man of law and order, had confronted relentless
outlaws, who finally got their man on a lonely stretch of road with
the White Sands as a backdrop.
As a special U.S. district attorney, Fountain prosecuted the San
Marcial ring on land-fraud charges. He repeatedly opposed young
Albert Bacon Fall at law, in politics, and in the territorial
legislature. On the eve of his death, Fountain was a key figure in
the Lincoln County grand jury investigation into cattle rustling.
Gibson's account will be no less significant to those with an
interest in the Albert B. Fall of the Teapot Dome scandal than to
those who wish to know what became of Colonel Fountain.
