Houston Post Sptcinl.)
Al'STIN Texas November 9 Henry
Clay Pierre chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Waters Pierce Oil com-
pany reached Austin this morning:
walked witii his counsel through the
streets to the county court house. greeted
Sheriff George S. Matthews of Travia
county and afterward gave bond in the
sum of (30000 to insure his reappearance
next January when case No. lfi3o7 on the
criminal docket of the Kifty-thtrd district
court will be called for hearing. Perhaps
o'.her developments had heen anticipated
by the cttitenshlp of Texas but none waa
In store for the Interested throng of sev-
eral hundred who filled the court room
when it was known that Pierce had ar-
rived. The only delay In the proceedings which
had been mapped out by the State and
Judge James H. Robertson attorney for
Mr. Pierce was the approval of the bond
the one which had been prepared and
fclfrned b?inf? objected to on the part of
the State's attorneys on the grounds that
the verbiage waa not satisfactory to
them.
This necessitated the rewriting of the
bond and the resigning by the sureties.
an hour. However about 12 o'clock the I
bond was signed and presented to Sheriff
Matthews who approved it. and Mr.
Pierce after shaking hands with tho
Travia county peace guardian and assur-
ing him of his appreciation of his cour-
tesy and a good time In the event he over
came to St. IouIs. Returned to the hotel
accompanied by his attorneys and
friends.
MAKING BONO WAS EASY.
Vnder a law passed by the Thirtieth
legislature tt was found that Mr. Pierce
would not have to appear in the court
room but that the approval of his bond
w;ia required by the sheriff only after
the court had fixed Its amount. It was
fit first thought that Mr. Pierce would
have to appear in court and have Judne
I'alhoun presiding Judge approve the
bond. but. upon looking up the law upon
this point the Judge and Sheriff Mat-
thews determined that Hp approval waa
necessary only by the latter and accord-
ingly. Judge Robertson presented the
document to the sherlfi and it was readl'y
approved.
During the past week or so It had been
rumored around that Mr Pierce would
find quite a little difficulty in securing
sureties for the Iwtnd which he would
have to give hut this proved only idle
talk as Judge " Robert son had secured
more than enough signatures there
seemingly having been a desire on the
part of' all Austin's rich men to get on
the bond After Its Approval Judge Rob-
ertson laughingly remarVed that ho didn't
see how It happened that he could not
get the requisite number of sureties not-
withstanding a certain newspaper In the
State had sarcastically remarked th.it
none would go on the bond

entirely too largo but that he had of-

Stenographer Who Committed Sui-

lAutciatti Prtu Rtport.1
NEW YORK November Edward M.
Morgan postmaster of New York city
who was wounded In the abdomen by a
bullet fired by B. M. B. Mackay. an ec-
oentrio English stenographer who then
committed suicide waa resting well to
night and unless complications develop
he will recover.
Mr. Morgan probably owes his. life to
the quick wit and bravery of his 14-year-old
daughter Dorothy who saw Mackay
draw Ms revolver and struck It from nil
hand. This deflected the bullet other-
wise the postmaster would have been
fatally wounded for his assailant was at
close range and fired four shots in all.
The shooting occurred at One Hundred
and Forty-sixth street early today and
only a short distance from Mr. Morgan's
home. He was on his way dowh town at
the Urns.
An investigation of the life and record
of Mackay reveals that he was of a mor-
bid nature and a forner inmate of an
asylum at Worcester Mass. That his act
was premeditated Is made clear by a let-
ter he left but aside from a fancied
grievance against- Mr. Morgan and the
poatofflce authorities concerning the
handling of his mail nothing has corns
to light to Indicate why he should have
sought to murder the postmaster.
His clothing when searched gave up
between thirty and forty smokeless car-
tridges a hsavy slungshot a knife with
a four-Inch blade and a clasp knife A
quantity of literature on socialism and
a slungshot similar to the one found On
the body were discovered In - his horn.
That he was rational during working
hours however la attested to by tha
