Garwood's Minority Report.
Special to the Gazette.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. Ex-senator Gar
wood, who filed minority report, concurs
III the findings and recommendations of the
majority report, and submits some conclu-
sions of his own. which, as he thinks, elu-
cidate the evidence adduced. He finds
that the receivership was based on the al
legged fraudulent and fictitious claim of
Gould, and that the receivers, solicitors,
attorneys. etc, were appointed at a
salary aggregating 200 a year, to pre-
vent the collection of fraudulent debt.
In one month Gould got judgment for his
debt, and EDDY, one of his men, was made a
receiver, there being practically no inves-
tigation of the merits Of Gould's claim.
The receivership was then continued to col
lect the debt for Could all of which, to-
gether with the resignation of Finley, the
appointment of Eddy and the negotiations
in connection Herewith, bear all the semb-
lance of barter and sale. Extravagant sala-
ries were paid, as in Finley's case. and
allowance and expenditures were
made without notice to the parties
at interest, involving grave abuses
The deposit Of the receivership funds In
Longyiew and Mineola banks was improper
and an abuse Of authority. Judge Nc
Cords conduct in several instances is Sc
verely criticised as unbecoming and pros
titution of high official position.
Mr.. Garwood neither concurs nor dis
sents as to the report Of the majority
touching the legal soundness of the injunc-
ton suit brought by the attorney general.
It was brought at the suggestion OF

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Galveston's Factions wrsngling Over the
New Charter
Special 20 the Gazette.


Special 10 the Gazette
GALVESTON. TEX, Aug. 26.-The discov-
cry of a slight omission in the enacting
clause of the amendments to the city char
ter as passed by the recent legislature has
produced somewhat of sensation and much
discussion, as certain parties claim that the
omission inyalidates all acts done under
the amended charter and relegates the
city back to its position under the
old charter, and in charge of the old officers
who then held Office. The sections of the
charter to be amended We're denominated
by numbers. The title section in the enact
ing clause give the sections amended cor
rectly, but by a subsequent section omits
the number Of one of the sections amended,
although this section appears in the char
ter and is mentioned in the title clause,
hence it is held by some who are opposed to
the present city government that this
omission inyalidates the present
charter. and renders al elections
or other acts done Hereunder illegal and
void This opinion, however, is not shared
by the legal fraternity, who hold that this
insignificant omission does not invalidate,
and that the city can proceed with safety
under the charter, and acts or legislation
authorizing a compliance with its provis-
ions will be legal and will be so sustained
by the courts.

REMANDED WITHOUT BAIL.
The Result of the Preliminary Trial OF
Don Campbell


The preliminary examination of Don
Campbell was concluded before Justice Nc
Clung yesterday. the trial commencing
promptly at o'clock, no testimony was
taken Yesterday both the defense and the
prosecution having rested the evening be
fore. The argument in the case was there
fore commenced Immediately upon the con-
yening OF court. and the argument for the
state was opened by Prosecuting Attorney
Gillespie, who made d speech Of d half
hours length. in which he argued that the
case was one of murder in the first degree,
and as 4 consequence not bailable. He re-
viewed the evidence and asserted that il
showed unequivocally that the defendant
shot the deceased with malice express and
premeditatcd, and closed his remarks by
asking that the defendant be remanded
without bail.
L. W. Tempel opened the case for the de-
Tense and confined his remarks to showing
the absence of malice atorethought and TO
the failure of tbs prosecution to show that
malice was evident.
Mr. Tempel was followed by l. T. More
land, whose argument was in the same line
He cited cases parallel to the one in ques
ton, and closed his argument.
MeSsrs. Albright and Guthridge followed
in the ORDER named and argued the case
from 4 legal stand point, dwelling at some
length upon the unimpeachable reputation
of the defendant for honesty, integrity and
peaceablenes from childhood up to man
hood. They did not pretend to classify TIE
olfense with which Campbell is charged,
further than to hold that it was decidedly
not murder in the first degree, and not be-
ing such that the defendant was Justly eu-
titled to bond.
AT the conclusion of the argument of Mr.
Guthridge Attorney Chapman, who was
assisting in the prosecution, closed the case
for the state He argued that no construc-
ton other than murder in the first degree
could be put upon the case in view OF the
evidence, which he asserted showed malice,
deliberate, express and premediated; that
the fact of Aii!bone having written the let
ters defamipg The character of the defend
ant had engendered this malice. and when
the defendant saw Allibone standing in the
Picl1wick it was evident that he started
over with the express purpose of killing the
deceased. On this hypothesis the prosecu-
ton based its presumption of malice, and
insisted that in the light OF the evidence the
case was emphaticatiy not a bailable one.
The remarks Of MIR. Chapman closed the
argument for the prosecution and the case
was submitted 10 Justice McClung. After
some elaboration the Judge rendered his
verdict, which was that Campbell should
be remanded without bail. The defendant
took the matter quietly, and was shortly
afterwards conducted back to jail by the
sheriff.
The attorneys of Campbell have by no
means given up the fight and last evening
were taking preliminary steps TO sue out
writ of habeaS corpus before one of the dis
trict judges. They say that they feel that
the case Of their client is bailable one
and that ii will be procured. II
