From a military standpoint did Japan make a mistake by not pursuing the attack? Pros and cons as they could have cause significant more damage but their supply was severely stretched.

Albert Jennings Fountain murder case:
Fall and his neighbor, Oliver M. Lee, were land owners in the area and were rivals to attorney Albert Jennings Fountain. Fall's association with Lee began when Fall helped Lee in a criminal case. Lee employed Billy McNew and Jim Gilliland, both known as gunmen. "In return for the legal services of Fall, Lee and his men terrorized men and voters on the lawyer's behalf."[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_B._Fall#cite_note-desertusa.com-1][1][/url] By the late 1890s, Lee was rustling cattle from other ranches in the area, altering the brands to resemble his own. When Lee and his gunmen were arrested, Fall handled the legal issues.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_B._Fall#cite_note-desertusa.com-1][1]

Fall disliked Fountain, who showed little fear of the Fall-Lee faction, and challenged them openly in the courts and political arena. On February 1, 1896, Fountain and his eight-year-old son Henry disappeared near the White Sands on the way from Fall's Three Rivers Ranch north of Tularosa to their home in Mesilla. Fall successfully defended the men accused of the murderOliver Lee, Jim Gilliland and Billy McNewat a trial in Hillsboro.
Evidence at the trial suggested Lee was involved in Fountain's murder and disappearance, but investigators had to deal with a corrupt court system and Fall's legal skill. The bodies of Fountain and his son and their horse were never found, which hampered the prosecution. The charges against McNew were dismissed by the court, while Lee and Gilliland were acquitted.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_B._Fall#cite_note-desertusa.com-1][1][/url]

In 1908 Fall successfully defended the accused killer of former Sheriff Pat Garrett. Garrett, famous for killing outlaw Billy the Kid in 1881, had pursued the suspects in the Fountain murders.
