Tlillsboro, Texas, October 23.-N[r.
Tom r. Stuart, brother of Mac
Stuart, has received letter from Unit
ed States Consul r. NJ. Burke at Chi
huahua, Mexico, stating that the SUI
prone court took up Mac Stuart's case
last Tuesday and that while the gen
oral opinion is that the sentence of the
lower court is sustained 1t would be
several days before the action of the
supreme court could be made public
He says that the attorneys for the de.
fense had a very strong plea, but on
new lines, which he (Burke) thought
should have been adopted at first: that
while Mac Stuart's attorneys believe
that the sentence of the lower court
will me sustained, they agree in the
opinion that it will be committed to n
twenty years sentence.
Mr. Burke suggests that some in
fuential friends, men of discretion. see
President Diaz in Macs behalf.
Mr.. Stuart has also received letter
from Governor Hogg in which he states
that he promised Dr. Lignoskl to go to
Mexico some time this fall in Mac
Stuart's behalf, without fee and at his
own expense, if necessary, to help him.
Since then he has never received re-
cord of statement of the case and con
sequently knows nothing of the merits
of the-case. The letted closes with the
statement that it is very doubtful now
whether he can get off this fall. He
inttmates that it would be we'll for the
Confederate veterans to get some one
else to go in Stuart's behalf.
