witnesses tvho saw Duncan from tho 12th
to the ISth at Eaglo Pass Spofford and
Brackett The defendants counsel after
Mr Oids had spoken at great length for the
state sought to convince the jury that
there was a reasonable doubt but their ef-
forts did not seem to mako much impres-
sion and when District Attorney Gillu had
closed the case in a speech marked
by clear narrative and relentless logic
proving to demonstration that Richard H
Duncan had butchered the Williamson fam-
ily in cold blood it was felt that the verdict
could only bo one way A calm ind dispas-
sionate charge by the judge and the jury
retired for an hour and a half returning
with the verdict We the Jury fled the
defendant guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and assess his penalty at death
Duncan heard it unmoved What will they
do withyeDick asked his sister of him as
he descended the stairs in custody of the
sheriff Hang me I reckon was his re-
ply He reckoned aright The Quixotic at-
tempt of Duncans later lawyer McMmn
to invalidate the whole penal code of Texas
need only to bo named here as procuring for
his client a years longer lease of life
Duncans demeanor In Jail has all along
been that of cheerful indifference until the
last day or two The rumored plot to res-
cue him had nrobably a basis of fact to rest
upon but if so the precautions taken over-
awed the plotters The small knives found
upon him would have been useless save for
suicide
Duncan was a wellbuilt man five feet
eleven inches high twentyeight years old
of florid complexion sandy hair and mus-
tache full forehead weak mouth tho lips
being thick and commonly apart eyes hazel
with a greenish tinge and surrounded by
moro dtowsfeet than is usual in so young
a man On the whole a rather intelligent
looking man with a satirical expression
Doncan In the Tederal Courts
In addition to tho unusual heinousness of
the crime which makes it one of tho dark-
est and most terrible deeds in the criminal
annals of the Southwest the case has ob-
tained wide celebrity on account of tho re-
markable and ingenious attempt of T J
McMinn a lawyer of San Antonioto obtain
Duncans release through the alleged in-
validity of the penal code of Texas The
first steps in tho sensational proceedings
were taken by McMinn about a j ear ago
when he sued out a writ of habeas cornus
in the Federal court of San Antonio The
grounds upon which he based his action
was the invalidity of the criminal code of
Texas the writ claiming that the act which
adopted the criminal code in ls77 was not
phsscd according to the constitution in 1S7i >
inasmuch as it did not come before tho leg-
islative body for its third leadinr that the
journal shows uo reccord of such passago
and that the act under which Dun-
can was indicted was simply adopted
iuto the code by the codifier apjwinted
by the legislature This writ was
heard in a toluminous brief pre-
sented by McMinn before JudgeTS Maxcy
who denied the petition for Duncans re-
lease An order from Judge Maxcy
releasing Duncan would have given liberty
to eery prisoner now confined iu the peni-
tentiaries of tho state convicted since the
alleged passage of the act in question in
1 s77 So thoroughly convinced was McMinn
that he was in the right he did not abido by
Judge Maxeys decision but appealed the
case to the supreme court of the United
States appointing as his assistant counsel
exUnited States Attorney Gen Garland
Tho United States supicnic court heara tho
case last winter and remanded it to the
state court Thereupon the case was again
reviewed by the state court of apeals
which court reaffirmed the decision of the
lower court and McMinns strong effort at
overthrowing the whole penal code of Texas
came to naught tho only result being that
he procured for his client a years longer
leaso of life
Dentil Sentence 1aftted
Special to the Gazette
Qcmnah Haruemas Cocstt Tex Sept
lb J T Morris who was convicted of
murder in the first degree for the killing of
Moss and Koberts and whose caso was
carried to the court of appeals and the deci-
sion of the district court confirmed was
this morning given his death sentence by
Judge Brown Tho judge before passing
the sentence asked Morris if he had any-
thing to say Morris arose and firmly pro
tested his innocence to tho charges against
him and said he did not censure the court
jury or attorneys for what they had done
and that they had only done their duty but
that he did censure some of the witnesses
as they had wilfully and maliciously lied
He fitally broke clear down and was com-
pelled to stop
Judge Brown then in a few words re-
viewed the case and at the close set the
30th of October as the day when Morris
should pay the penalty of his crime
The courthouse was crowded with anxious
listeners who were familiar with this noted
case in all its details

A Sensational Mock Marriaee Tale Ex-
ploded When the Iacts Are Made
Known Mrs Muddn AUldavIt
The mock marriage which it was alleged
was practiced upon Miss Mary L Jordau
by W K Mudd an eraploje of the Denver
road turns out to bo not so much of a sen-
sation as was at first supposed and Mr
Mudd is relieved of the odium which such
action if true would cast upon him Mudd
it will be remembered was arrested a week
ago in Henrietta for decoying Miss Jordan
from her home in Wichita Palls and entrap-
ping her into a bogus marriage An in-
vestigation was made by the grand jury of
Clay county which jury was sittting at the
time and resulted in the release of Mudd
When Miss Jordan was examined her state-
ments failed to tally with the ones made to
Chief Maddox at tho city hall here last
Tuesday where she stated emphatically
that she bad been married to Mudd by a
man by the name of Johns In Henrietta
she made another statement to the effect
that no imposition had been practiced upon
her by Mudd but on the contrary she had
accompanied him to Fort Worth and had
invented the marriage story with a view to
mollifying the feelings of her father when
ho learned of her escapade and so strictly
did sho maintain that she was married to
Mudd that no one who heard her story
doubted it and were free in giving their
opinion of him who had duped an iunocent
girlWhen
When Mudd was released from custody
in Henrietta he immediately proceeded to
marry Miss Jordan in tho orthodox jta >
the ceremony being performed Thursdfraf
VI oclock Mrs Mudds father and bnfiher
were present and were satisfied witlAthe
course Mudd pursued in the matter After
tho ceremony was performed the now mar-
ried pair immediately took tho train for

says that hcretoforetowit on the 14th day
of September A D 1591 that she stated
that William K Mudd had procured a mock
marriage between affiant and himself
Affiant now states that her only reason for
malting such statement was to appease tho
wrath of her father and in truth and in
fact no such mock marriage was ever had
nor did W IC Mudd nor any other person
or persons perform any such marriatre In
truth she had only eloped with said W K
Mudd intending to marry him at some fu-
ture date and that said W K Mudd was in
no way more to blaino in the entire matter
than aifiaut and that in all things said
Mudd has acted toward affiant as a gentle-

THE LONGVIEW CASES
Trices Testimony Taken Witnesses
for the Defense
Special to the Gazette
Lonoview GiiFeo Cooxtt Tez Sept
IS The celebrated burjjlarly case which
has been iu examination before Justice
Cocke since Tuesday morning convened at
0 a m and tho court officers and prisoners
went over to the Trioo residence to take
the evidence of Jlrs Trice Two doctors
were in attendance whilo Mr Trice sat
upon the bed where Mrs Trice was lying
The attorneys were very brief and consid
lite in their examination and Mr Trica
had his shorthand reporter to take MrsA jF
Trices
evidence in shorthand and after-
wards transcribe on a typewriter which
preatly facilitated matters Though Jlrs
Trice has suffered greatly from the shock
of this burglary she will likely be all right
soon The procession w ho went over to the
Trice residence passed poine and return-
ing by the house occupied by the three de-
fendants and tho little children playing
near by hollowed to them Papa why
dont you com home and Papa where
are you poing One of the defendants
told his little boy to be a good boy and he
would come back after awhile and when
the child continued talking the father only
shook his hand at him unable to speak for
emotion Tho fence around the house was
very dilapidated and one could step inside
the yard at most any place The wives of
the prisoners with sorrowing looks peeped
through the curtainless windows withal
making a pitiful scene and shows how sus-
picion of crime and had reputations will
wreck otherwise happy homes The court
adjourned until 2 p m when the defense
will commence examination of witnessas
As the state has made out such a good case
the other side will he heard with still
greater interest
Four witnesses were examined for the de
fense in the Trice residence burglary caso
this evening S C Forman W B Allen
and P E Coleman whose evidence was not
material to the case Miss Minnie Allen
sister to Lucian Evans wife testified that
she returned from church at 10 p m the
night of the burglary the prisoners wero
in ned and that when Mrs Trice screamed
and fired oft the pistol she woke and heard
Evans wife wake Evans and he put on his
pants only and went to the scene of the
trouble She also heard West conversing
with Evans and Boyle in tho hallway She
dressed went out saw Boyle dressing and
ho soon joined tho others at Trices
This testimony makes a clear alibi The
defense closed then
County Attorney Ragland says he will
introduce testimony tomorrow which will
rebut Miss Allens and thinks the prisoners
will be bound over to tho district court
The attendance was much larger this
evening and the galleries proved too small
for the ladies who occupied and filled the
jury box also As the case proceeds the to
terest is intensified
