take tie tools out of a sack, aid was
about to sell them when the blacksmith
walked in and grabbed him. He was
taken to the city hall where Detective
James Bowen took him in custody.

Which Is It?

An old man named William James Can
non is again in the city. He claims to be
the only survivor of the famous siege of
the Alamo by Santa Anna, that he was in
the Alamo as a boy, and that he was
there when the old fort was captured and
the patriots ruthleSSly killed. He claimed
too. that Madame Candaleria knew him
and the facts of the case, but she does not.
History is silent as to his story, except
from his statements. and nothing can be
found that will cOrrObOrate his story. A
LIGHT man investigated this matter some
years ago. when Cannon was here, and
came to the conclusion that either he was
a deliberate impoStOr or was suffering
from Senile hallucinatiOn. for which.
perhaps. he IS not responsible. In any
case, it seems clear that his whole story
is MYTH and in this opinion the reporter
is confirmed by many Texas veterans, who
are competent 10 give an authoritative
opinion On this important subject This
Cannon was evidently wrongly loaded
when il shot off " its mouth.
