Something Interesting About the Exhi-
bition Which Opens Tomorrow.
Of the many fine pictures secured by Mr..
w. Cole, while in New York. one of the
most valuable of the etchings was a re-
mark proof of Jules Breton's "Communi-
cants," etched by Hamilton Hamilton.
The following will give some idea of the
value of this picture. The exhibition and
sale of the art collection of Mrs. Mary J.
Morgan was the sensation of New York
for the winters of 1885 and 1886. The pub
lie streamed by thousands to inspect the
marvels of art, yertu and curiosity in
volved, and the great concert hall in which
the auctioneer disposed of the pictures
was crowded nightly with all the wealth,
fashion and authority the social and ar
tistic worlds of America have to show.
The principal feature of this great event
of the time was the picture by Jules
Breton, entitled 1.-The Communicates" 1t
became the lodestar which attracted all
visitors. There is that property about the
art of Jules Breton that renders its i'm
preston direct and lucid; it has the hon.
esty and simplicity of the nature on which
il is founded and requires no Interpretation
TO the most Untutored comprehension.
Consequently thousands on whom the sub
tleties of other works were lost found in
this grand picture a relief more artificial
art denied them. Mr.. Hamilton Hamilton,
the etcher. is an American painter of wide
repute, and one of the foremost original
and reproductive etchers on the Western
continent. The etching of "The Com
municants" was with Mr.. Hamilton the
labor of months. labor which was a rare
pleasure in itself The etching was made
directly from the original painting, every
facility having been extended to the
etcher by the kindness of Sir Donald A.
Smith. the owner. The etching, in its
completed state. attests at once the fidel-
ity and skill of the etcher and the high
ideal the connoiseur had estab-
lished for the work. Mr.. Cole has
also several other of Mr.. Hami-
tons etchings. namely "Near Plymouth"
the Love Letter" and "Wayside Flow
ers," also proofs from P. Moran, Winsow
Homer, F. NJ. Spiegle, Millspaugh. r.
Dudensing. James King and almost ali of
the best artists OF this country; also water
colors, photographs, tine French furniture,
bronzes and French clocks in black marble
and Mexican white onyx, all of which will
be on exhibition Monday and Tuesday,
May IS and rs. On "Wednesday afternoon
at so the ssle commences and will con-
tinue afternoon and evenings at 30 the
balance of the week, when everything will
be sold. Catalogues for the entire sale can
be had az the hail, 1.2l7 and i.2l9 Front
street (where wa1works were) The sale
will be under the personal supervision of
the well-known and very popular art
auctioneer, Mr.. 7. J. E. Scoones. Parties
interested will remember that the exhibi-
ton is free and worth looking st, as there
has never been anything like it on the
Coast before.

to the 18th at Eagle Pass, Spofford and

state) sought to convince the jury that

proving to demonstration that Richard h.

could only be one way. A cain and dispas-
sionate charge by the judge, and the jury

defendant guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and assess his penalty at death.

Duncan's 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 probably 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 well-built man, five feet
eleven inches high, twenty-eight years old,
of ford complexion, sandy hair and mus
tache, full forehead. weak mouth, the lips
being thick and commonly apart, eyes hazel
with a greenish tinge and surrounded by
more "cDwsfeet" than is usual in so young
man. On the whole, a rather Intelligent
looking man, with a satirical expression.

Duncan In the Federal Courts.

In addition to the unusual Nervousness of
the crime which makes il one Of the dark
est and most terrible deeds in the criminal
annals Of the Southwest, the case has OBJ
tanned wide celebrity on account of the re-
narkable and ingenious attempt of L. j.
McNlinn, q lawyer of San Antonio, to obtain
Duncan's release through the alleged in
validity of the penal code of Texas. The
first steps in the sensational proceedings
were taken by McAlinn about a year ago,
when he sued out writ of habeas corpus
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 1877 was not
pissed according TO the constitution in 1876
inasmuch as it did not come before the leg
islatiye body for its third reading; that the
journal shows no record of such passage
and that the act under which Dun
can was indicted was simply adopted
into the code by the codifier appointed
heard in a voluminous brief pre-
sented by McAlinn before Judge IS. Maxey
who denied the petition for Duncan'S re
lease. An order from Judge Maxey
releasing Duncan would have given liberty
to every prisoner now confined il the peni-
tcntiaries OF the state, convicted since the
alleged passage of the act in question in
1917. So thoroughly convinced was McMinn
that he was in the right he did not abide by
Judge Maxey's decision, but appealed the
case 10 the supreme court of the United
States, appointing as his assistant counsel
ex-United States Attorney Gen. Garland.
The United States supreme court heart the
case last winter and remanded it to the
state court. Thereupon the case was again
reviewed by the state court of appeals,
which court reafirmed the decision of the
lOIynr pO1Irf and Mp,tjnn StrNuu effort AT
overthrowing the whole penal code of Texas
came TO naught, the only result being that
he procured for his client q years longer
lease of life.

lS.-The celebrated burglary case which
has been i'll examination before Justice
Cooke since Tuesday morning convened at
4. m. and the court officers and prisoners
went over to the Triee residence to take
the evidence of Mrs. Trice. Two doctors
were in attendance while Mr. Trice sat
upon the bed where Mrs. Trice was lying
The attorneys were very brief and considj
|sefate in their examination, and Mr.. Tried
had his shorthand reporter to take Mrs.
Trice's evidence in shorthand and after
wards transcribe on typewriter. which
greatly facilitated matters. Though Mrs.
Trice has suffered greatly from the shock
of this burglary she will likely be all right
soon. The procession who went over to the
Trice residence passed, going and return
Ing, by the house occupied by the three de-
PENDANTS, and the little children playing
near by followed to them: Papa, why
don't you COM home" and, "Papa, where
are you goinS9" One of the defendants
told his little boy TO be 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. The fence around the house was
very diiapidated, and one could step inside

adjourned until 2 p. M, when the defense
will commence examination of witnesses.
As the state has made out such good case
the other side will be heard with still
greater interest.

sister to Lucian Evans wife, testified that
she returned from church at 10 D. m. the
night of the burglary; the prisoners were
in bed, and that when Mrs. Trice screamed
and fired off 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 the hallway. She
dressed, went out, saw Boyle dressing, and
he soon joined the others at Trice's !
This testimony makes clear alibi. The |
defense closed then.
County Attorney Ragland says he will |
introduce testimony tomorrow which will |
rebuff Miss Aliens, and thinks the prisoners
will be bound over to the district court
The attendance was much larger this |

Death Sentence Passed.


QUANAH, HARDEMAS COUNTY, Tex, Sept
Isl. I. Morris, who was convicted of
murder in the first degree for the killing of
Moss and Roberts, ana whose case 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. The judge, before passing
the sentence, asked Morris if he had any
thing to say. Morris arose and firmly pro-
tested his innocence to the 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 wiifully and maliciously lied.
He firally broke clear down and was COM
PEELED TO stop.
Judge Brown then in 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.
