The court affirmed the case of Bur-

Re-Formed and Affirmed—C.
1 paper had contained references to Sen-
’ ator Bailey Jn connection with the re-
admission of the Waters-Pierce Oil
' company to Texas. He said that he had
no prejudice against the Waters-Pierce
Oil company, and had no knowledge of
■ any prejudice against the defendant ex-
listing in Travis county. He thought
he could fairly and impartially serve
as a juror. He said he had heard no
expression from anyone to indicte that
prejudice against the defendant existed
in the county, and he knew no reason
why it could not get a fair trial here.
Judge Penn then continued the read-
ing of various artteles and editorials
, which appeared in the Austin Tribune,
which he claimed had created prejudice
against the Waters-Pierce Oil company
in Travis county, continuing along this
line until the court adjourned for the
day.

Captain Lucy was called to the wit-
ness stand again immediately after the
court reconvened in the afternoon He
testified that he had made inquiries and
investigations and had a certain source
of information not open to all by rea-
son of which he believed himself qual-
ified to serve as a juror without preju-
dice against the Waters-Pierce Oil com-
pany, and further that he knew the
defendant company was not a part of
a trust.
Replying to questions by. Judge
Batts, the witness said that ’he had
such additional facta not available to
the ordinary citizen as had overcome
all his former notions that the Waters-
Pierce Oil company was part of a
trust and that he knew the defendant
company was Independent of any com-
bination in the nature of a trust and
that ha could qualify as a juror and
that the ordinary citizen without this
additional information would be unable
to qualify as a juror In the case
Judge Batts asked the witness if the
party or parties giving him this special
information were his attorneys and
counselors and whether it had beeri
communicated to him In the confiden-
tial relation of attorney and client
Captain Lucey replied not. He was
than asked if he was in any way con-
nected with or in the employ of the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and he
again replied no.
"State the character of the Informa-
tion and its source,” said Judge Batts
Judge Penn objected to this on the
ground that it was hearsay and not
admfssble as evidence, but the court
overruled the objection.
Captain Lucy appealed to the judge
stating that he objected to answering
the question, because the Information
had been told him in strict confidence
by two attorneys. Judge Brooks In-
structed him, however, that he must
answer the question.
Captain Lucy thn said that he had
received the additional Information from
Attorneys Johnson and Priest. Cap-
tain Luey said that he had obtained
the Information previous to and dur-
ing the senatorial Investigation He
was not pressed to say Just what the
special information was and soon after
both state and defense excused him.
Judge Penn offered in evidence an
open letter from Attorney General Da-
vidson to Senator Balley, published in

Prparing to Overthrow Cabrera.
While officialdoni here maintains an
attitude of absolute ignorance relative
to the preparations being made for the
revolution against the regime of Es-
trada Cabrera, the Associated Press
has learned from a most competent au-
thority that such measures are being
pushed and on a large scale. That (he
ultimate aim of the revolutionists is
greater than to overthrow the Cebrera
government is made plain by the atti-
tude of the leaders, but neither the
president of this republic or any mem
ber of his cabinet has ever publicly
expressed sympathy with the cause or
intimated that the government would
openly or secretly aid a movement of
this kind which had fur its end the
federation of Central American states.
All of the Guatemalan exiles here,
however, are in line with this plan.
The late General Barillas, the leader
of the last revolution, was one of rhe
strongest advocates of federation in
Central America, and his followers are
equally as firm bejlevers that this is
the ultimate salvation, not only of
Guatemala, but oRvall Central Ameri-
can states.
Ambition of Revolutionimts
"Guatemalan exiles have a higher
ambition in th overthrow of Estrada
Cabrera than simply putting another
maa tn his place," said ope of the ex-
lies today. "In the first place, they
want to free Guatemala from her grfev,
ous ills of today, but at the same time
the Baders are all men of brains, and
they naturally recognize that in the
overthrow of Cabrera they must look
further ahead than simply rectifying •
the wrongs of today.
