and began a statement which lasted two
hours. His talk was sensational from
the beginning. He said the Jury before
which no was tried was not composed OF
his peers and that he could have proved
ms innocence had he been given the CD.
portunity. He referred to the murder
of Sparks IN Lee county, Of which Car.
Isle was accused, and said that Jim
Brown, formerly Of Fort Worth, and
who was killed in Chicago, and a prolnl.
nent attorney Of Giddings, Tax. killed
Sparks. Here he gave the attorneys

he would never give them away, as they
had been true 10 him anti he would 80

The city referred to is supposed TO be

Luttrell said that Brown told him,
that he, Brown, was afraid Of Fogg,

their daughters would die IN disgrace.
