MADE NO DEFENSE.
R0BINsON's ATTORNEYS DID NOT
OFFER TESTIMONY
The Preliminary Hearing Was Made Before
Justice Shook In The County Jail Yes
terday Held Without Bail

! So as not to renew excitement over
heinous outrage recently perpetrated
| in this city, the authorities wisely con-
cluded to conduct the examining trial
of Henry Robinson behind close doors,
obscure from public view. Accord
ingly the Bexar county jail was select
ed and Jailer Schumacher's office was
transformed into a temporary court
room.
Justice P. H. Shook was on the
bench, and Robinson's preliminary
hearing took place yesterday after
noon. He was represented by A. E.
Hebron and T. P. Gibbs, while Coun-
ty Attorney Dewitt and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Anderson represented
the state. Robinson entered a plea of
not guilty.
The first witness examined was En-
ma Wulff, the victim of Robinson's
atrocious deed, and her testimony in
substance corroborates with the facts
as exclusively mentioned in the Light
last Wednesday, the day that the
crime was committed. Miss Wulff
identified Robinson as the man that
assaulted her.
Other witnesses examined were Mrs.
Mary Wulff, mother of the girl, who
identified Robinson as the man that
called at her home Tuesday evening
and informed her of a family that
wanted to hire a girl, and also called
on Wednesday morning at $3.50 o'clock
to show her daughter to the place.
She said that she returned home about
$3.50 o'clock and that her eyes were
swollen from crying and her dress was
muddy.
Mary Mcmillan, a negress, who had
been living with Robinson at PIG North
East street, identified box of matches
and collar button found by Detective
George Shoaf in the brush where the
crime was committed, as the property
of Robinson.
Detective Shoaf testified that he ar
rested Robinson at the latters home,
PIG North East street, on a description
of the man and his clothes, given by
Miss Wulff. He also stated that he
found the mans track and trailed him
half a mile.
No testimony was offered by the de-
Tense and Robinson was held without
bail, pending action of the grand jury.

other man. She tried to tlirt with this
poor corpse, and l was determined not
to permit it.
All! my friends i give you this adj
vice: Never do as l have done This
is the advice 1 give to all the young.
Take the advice of this poor corpse and
you will live happy and never, never
pass through the tortures / now en-
dure; and this advice give to parents
to advise their children not to do as
have done.
And do not put too much faith in
your friends, they will get you into
trouble and not get you out.
oh, my friends how sad it is to quit
this life for the love of woman. You
all believed that such a woman as she
never lived but she is nothing to me
now when life is going out My friends
am going to suffer death but there
is one consolation sent her ahead.
Farewell forever, farewell and to all I
give this advice: Not to live as / have
lived. This is my last warning l leave
to the young. Do not keep bad COM
pany so it may not happen to you as it
does today to me.

ANGORA ON A WHEEL.
Chicago Cat Which Enjoys a Spin on
the boulevard.

Dixie Norton, of No. 4011 Drexel boule-
ward, Chicago, is the only cat in the
world that rides bicycle. He attracts
no end of attention as Mrs. Leland Nor
ton spins down the boulevard with her
pet. He stands erect in fanciful In
dian basket that hangs from the
handle-bars, and watches the sights
with all the eagerness of a happy child
at a carnival.
"How did Dixie learn to ride? Why"
said Mrs. Norton, che was always crazy
to go out, and one evening last sum
mer picked up his basket and held
him at arms length while ] rode around
the block. After that he used to perch
on my shoulder, but as his avoirdupois
increased was obliged to swing him
from the handle bar"
The query: Dixie, do you want TO go
to rider" is sufficient to send Dixie
bounding with delighted squeals head

foremost into his basket. When taken
from the wheel he yowls and frantically
clutches and claws everything in reach.
Dixie is physical freak. He is a
short-haired Angora, though bred from
Joe, the famous Persian. Ills mother
was scarcely less aristocratic, and Dixie
is the only short-haired member of that
distinguished long-haired family of
which Echo Dixie's brother) is the
most noted amongca fanciers.
Dixie is beautiful animal. His hair
is fine and white and his ears are like
twin sea shells. The heart of rose is
no pinker than his little nose. His eyes
are as brilliant as emeralds, and he is
as clever as trick dog-shakes hands,
stands IN his hind legs and jumps
through hooE..

THEY WILL NOT STRIKE.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 31.-There has
been a change in the state of seige at
Dearmitt's mines and clash between
the strikers and deputies seems immi-
nent. The mines at Oakhill and San
dy Creek are being operated by very
few men. Most Oakhill miners live
at Turtle creek and the demonstrations
of strikers camping in the gospel tent
intimidated them. At Sandy creek
about twenty per cent of the miners
are working but at the Plum creek
mine, which is now the object of much
concern on the part of the sheriff, and
Dearmitt, all men are working. A
representative of the Associated Press
was admitted to the inside of Plum
creek mine and he talked with about
a dozen men while they were at work.
All the men spoken to said they had
no sympathy with the strikers and they
would not leave the mine unless driv-
en- out. Most of the men are armed
and declare they will not be intimidat-
ed

sTRIKERs CLAIMING VICTORY.

STRIKERS CLAIMING VICTORY.
Pittsburg, July Sl,-District Presi-
dent Dolan, of the Mine Workers, ar
rived from camp at the Dearmitts
mines this morning to attend to some
business, and at 10 o'clock returned
to the mines. He is elated over the
success of the movement to bring out
the men of the New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal company and says the
result exceeds his brightest anticipa-
TONS Marches were made on Plum
Creek mines he said at an early hour
and with but few exceptions diggers
refused to work The prospects of
winning the big strike is brighter than
at any time since it inaugurated. Close
of the fourth week of the strike shows
more miners idle in the country than
at any time in the history of the coal
industry. The strikers declare that no
win be paid to Sheriff Low
rey's proclamation that they will re-
main where they are, and if necessary
assemble thousands of men of all
trades and keep them there until every
of the New York & Cleveland
Co., are forced by shame to join the
ranks of the strikers.

odd vnrietIc. of Matches.

Among the odd varieties of matches
now in vogue are the "vestas," of which
the splint is waxed cord; ''fusees"
for lighting in a wind, with short,
thick stick tipped with large mass of
chlorate of potash composition, and
natural gas" matches, with a very long
splint for lighting natural gas fires.
In former days the manufacture of
phosphorus matches was attended with
great danger'to the workmen from the
fumes, which caused decay of the
bones of the jaw. Many persons were
poisoned from carelessuess in hand
ling them, and numerous CONGREGATIONS
occurred on account of the ease with
which they We're ignited. The 'parlor
match" had its origin with the manu-
facture, in 1913. of Schrctter's amor
phous PHOSPHORUS, This product has
neither oGor nor taste, is not poisonous
and does not take fire at ordinary TEN.

cution, of Maxine Martinez.
Mr.. Simon Veith, of the Light, and
Mr.. Geo. Chabot, of this city, have
returned from a visit to Floresville
where they witnessed the execution
of Maxine Martinez yesterday. Mr..
Veith has given the Light the follow
ing short account of the last scenes in
Mariners life:
At 2:03 D. m. Martinez came before
the scaffold unassisted accompanied
by Father Yento and several deputies
sheriff. When asked if he had any
thing to say he replied in the affirma-
tive and in a steady voice and inper-
ceptible tremor he sang a song of his
own compositions about his murdered
sweetheart. He then lit a cigar and
while putting away, made a speech in
Spanish warning his friends of the
sad fate that awaited them if they
followed in h.s footsteps, and asked
their forgii eness. He then babe them
s. -bye
The black cap was adjusted over his
head. He then repeated a prayer af-
ter Father Vento.
The trap was sprung by Sheriff
Craighead at 1921. Drs. Mason, Treon,
Evans and Gillette of Floresville, and
DR., Pickett of Karnes City, pronounced
him dead in eleven minutes. His neck
was broken by the fall and altogether
the execution was complete success.
The body after being cut down was
taken in charge of by his relatives and
will be buried today by the Catholic
church.
Martinez from the platform of the
scaffold before the trap was sprung Sc
lected six of his friends as pail bear
ers.
This is the first legal execution since
the organization of Wilson county and
of course attracted a great deal of at
tentiOn
Deputy Sheriff w. W. Sanerfur, a
mechanic by trade, erected the scat
fold and made a good job of it,
Among the visiting sheriffs who came
to witness the execution were Avant
of Atascoss and Morris of Karnes
counties. The death watch, half of
them alternating every six hours was
John Dickey, Juan Cara, Alex Craig
head, Will Wright, James Plum, w. w.
SaEerfur.

shall DO returned to the senders. Inquircrs at
1872 Church street were referred to John J.
vause. attorney for the companies, at 156

Mr.. vause said that he thought the Govern

ing. The Borden Company, under its various
names, which are adopted for the purpose of
classifying advertisements. bought out the
Williams Company some time ago. Tho Will
liams Company. Mr.. Vause explnins. sold soap

Send us 10 cents and we will make you an offer.
II you aren't satisfied you get your money
THAT advertisement" said Mr.. vause, had
been passed upon and approved by tho Post

was. OF course, that folks who nswere II would
