I have made this minor edit of the line: "Fall was well known to have hated Fountain, literally." I do not know why the distinction is made about "literalness" (whether the "hate" or how "well known" it was) and whether it is possible for someone to "hate" or be "well known" figuratively. I believe the initial author was just using literally as an intensifier, as many do incorrectly, and so have eliminated it. 167.127.24.25 15:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I eliminated some Not Neutral Point of View postings in this artcile regarding the Lee/Fountain murder case. The majority party in NM at the time was Republican. Lee was a Democrat and it can be inferred that much of the case against him was politically motivated. The case had little merit and would not get near a Grand Jury much less a trial today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.145.213 (talk) 14:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. I think the case most certainly get to trial today, and there could have been a conviction had things went more smoothly for the prosecution in 1899. comment added by Shootseven —Preceding comment was added at 22:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
