New Mexico history comes alive with re-enactment of the Fountain Murder Trial featuring Dan Crow in Hillsboro on Saturday the 24th.

Program Schedule:
3:30 pm - Doors Open - Hillsboro Community Center.
4:00 pm – Sing the Legend. A live musical presentation by Dan Crow and Karla Steen of original western songs. Songs include: "Lawdog Lament," "The Coffin Note," "Bob Fitzzsimmons," and "Sam Bass and the Wampus Cat."
5:00 pm - "Fountain Murder Trial." A reenactment by actors of the 1899 courtroom trial of the persons accused of murdering Colonel Albert J. Fountain and his son Henry. The re-enactment uses the actual words of the courtroom trial.
The abduction and apparent murder of Colonel Albert J. and Henry Fountain on February 1, 1896, shocked and outraged the citizens of New Mexico. It was not the killing of Colonel Fountain, a Union Civil War veteran and a prominent New Mexico attorney, which roused the physical disgust of the citizenry – after all, it was not unknown for distinguished men to be killed. It was the cold-blooded murder of his eight-year-old son which provoked the public outcry and revulsion.
The evidence indicated that although Colonel Albert J. Fountain was killed during the ambush, his son was taken alive, and only killed the next day.
