 Legged Mexican With an AK.
 SAN ANTONIO. Feb. 9.-One of the most cold -blooded murders ever com mitted in this part of the state occurred here Tuesday evening when Anderson Harris. colored haclSdriver and ex- policeman. was murdered by a Mexi- can. The deed was a plan laid by Austin Brown, also colored, who had been warned by Harris not to visit his house again as he had been paying too much attention lately to his (Harris) wife
 From all that can be learned 1t seems that on Sunday night Brown met a Mexican named Vidal and hired him for the sum of S2 50 to kill Harris; that after numerous consultations they de- cided to commit the deed. On Tuesday night sometime after 9 o'clock Vidal engaged Harris to take him to his home, in tine southern suburbs of the city. that Vidal occupied the seat with Harris and the two had reached a sparcely settled section. when the Mex ican drew pistol that Brown had given him and fired two bullets into the body of Harris. one passing through the head and the other through the chest; that Brown stood on the side walk within few feet of the spot where the killing took place and wit messed the deed; that the two then made their escape
 The body of Harris was not found until Wednesday morning He was found lying dead on the seat of the hack. which was still standing within a few feet of where the deed was com mitted. Brown was arrested upon in- formation of Harris daughter. Vidal was arrested shortly after Harris was very popular and an attempt was made to lynch Brown and Vidal.
 Brown is big, rawboned fellow and is about 45 years of age. He has a wife and two children Vidal is about 24 years of age and seems to have aver age intelligence. Brown and Vidal were transferred to the county jail on complaint of murder sworn out before Justice Jones.
