LEAHY’S APPEAL IS
DENIED; MUST DIE
Austin, Tex., Feb. 6.—H. J. Leahy,
under death sentence for murder of
Dy. J. A. Ramsey of Mathis, San Pa-
tricio county, Wednesday was denied
another hearing by the court of crim-
inal appeals, which refused to change
its decision affirming the trial court’s
judgment.
H. S. Bonham of Beeville, of coun-
sel for Leahy, said an effort would be
made to take the case to the United
States supreme court. Refusal to per-
mit Leahy to interrogate a witness
personally was one of the grounds on
which reversal was sought. His law-
yers claim this was in violation of
the federal constitution and on that
ground hope to get the case before
the United States supreme court on
a writ of error.
If this move fails, Governor Moody
will be asked to commute the death
sentence to life imprisonment.
. Hastily undertaking the study of
law in his cell in the Williamson
county jail, Leahy prepared a large
part of the papers filed with the ap-
peal.

was evident here Thursday, with prac-

tent that at least a thousand head of
registered stock will be added to Lam-

John C. Abney, president of the com-
merce body, said.
In addition, to the free sandwiches
and coffee and band concerts, a' num-

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Clements, of Florence, will be
sorry to learn of the very serious
illness of Mr. Clements. They were
long time residents of the Adams-
ville community. Mr. Clements has
been ill for the past three weeks and
gradually grows weaker, the physi-
cians holding out very little hope for'
his recovery. The trouble is a tumor
in the main artery, probably caused
from the kick of a mule a long time
ago.
