law. The verdict meets with
the approval of every good cit

the governor are to be heard
from before the verdict of the
jury is carried out.
GOVERNOR ROBERTS was at
Dallas last Saturday. After
making speech at picnic in
the afternoon, at night he
made a three hours speech at
Craddock's opera house in Dali
las. In substance his
speech was about the same
as he made here. 1t appears
from the Dallas Herald that he
went into the school question
quite extensively.
