Of the regular duty, and were required to
pay The other So per cent when taken be-

Degree of the Crime Was Not
stated In the Verdict.

Austin. Texas. Juno 9.--Following are
synorses Of the opinions delivered by the
court of criminal appeals today:
THOMAS COGlN, from Fisher county; con-
viction OF driving cattle across the quar-
antne line. established by the live stock
sanitary coTnmiss ion-Appeal dismissed.
The recognizance in this case is fatally
detective in two particulars. 1t does not
undertake to set out two essential elements
OF the ofrense charged In the indictment.
viz. the fact that the sanitary commission
had made its orders, rules, regulations and
directions and that the governor had is
sued his proclamation thereupon.

ANDY EVANS, from Bell county; convic-
ton for knowingly cutting timber upon
the land OF another-Reversed.
The information charges that the land be-
lcnged to Mrs Grswold, and that it was
known as the Moses Griffin survey. The
evidence shows that the land in question
was not the Griffin survey. but to the con-
trary was the Moren survey. IL Was not
necessary to allege the name Of the sur
vcy. But, the name having been alleged, 1t
became descriptive of the oifense. and
should have been proved Us alleged.

dictment on the ground that the grand
Jury which returned 1t was empaneled on
a legal holiday. The language of the stat.
ute naming the legal holidays is not man
datory. While n court may adjourn IL IL

necessary for IL to do so.

be brought INTO court In order to exercise
that right No such request ia shown TO

3, Appellants motion for change OF
yeuue was not supported by affidavits, and
the action OF the court In refusing his mo-
ton for Il ontfnuance was not excepted TO-
The evidence e sufficient.
Opinion by Henderson. j.
MILLER CLARK. from Kaufman county;
conviction of assault with intent to rape.
Reversed.
l. The alleged testimony OF the absen.
witness. John Ross. was material. and in
the light'of the other testimony in the case
we can not say that same was not prob
ably true and although due diligence WAC
not used in suing out process for said wit
ness, yet. when the matter was presented
In mction for new trial. we believe that
it should have been granted to give defend
ant an opportunity to procure this absent
testimony.
.. The States evidence tended to show
that defendant. Just prior to the assault,
was travelling down a lane H. was in a
wagon and was just behind three other
WAGONS which were moving in the same di-
rection MS defendant. He stopped when he
came to the baroe house, entered same
made the assault alleged and passed the
three wagons which had been ahead of him.
at a distance OF $50 yards from the Laroe
house
To rebut this evidence the defendant Of
fered evidence OF series of experiments
which tended to show that. from the nature
Of ground and the distance 10 be travelled
he could not have done the acts charged
and then have overtaken the three wagons
within the distance named. even If he had
Travelled ut the fastest gait that his mules
could go. The evidence should have been
admitted. 1t would have supported defend
ants theory that the assault was made by
other parties. and that the prosecution was
mistaken in identifying him as the guilty
party.

BELL WADE, from Orange county; con-
yiction for assault with intent to MUIR

No bills of exceptions were reserved to
any ruling of the court. There is no error
in the charge OF the court calculated to in

STATEHOOD
What AriizOna's Executive
 Ssvs of It

The following remarks regarding s.stehoc d were delivered by Gov. Nc Cord ii. his itaugural address at Phe' rix:
 "Rec ept experience has thoroughly cenyip ctd me that self government throul ,h early admission to the Unien as sovereign state is the paramount need of Arizona. IL is the history of every state that hss been sdmitte d sint the origins. thirteen, with the fsH e1csptions, (and this is only the lisrcenary side of the question: that within three, four or five years inn m.diately following their admission, they have doubled in wealth and population. do not believe Arizona would be an exception; there is no reason it should. Is net statehood. then, a boon woyti striyisg for? IL certainly ir. and the best way 10 obtain it is by demonstrating to the world that we are wsrthly of it. This can best be done by enacting and enisrc- ing good laSs, giving 10 the people whs are here and promise to these who may come, good government and the lowest possible taxation consistent with commendable progression and spirit of public enterprise that ought to animate the breast of every citizen; by elevating to higher plain, fl poss- educational institutions; and by en- coursging and intoxicating temperance morality, virtue aad good citizenship among tine people. Another thing which Arizona needs, in importance second only to statehood, is capital te build more railroads, carry out more irrigation projects. develop it's latent resources and uncover its hidden wealth. To secure this we should set cur faces like flints against every act ths. in the slightest degree hints or squints towards repudiaiiou. In no other way can we acquire or retain the confidence of capital; Let us not forget that the eyes of the public are constantly upon us, and bering this, see 10 it that our acts are such as to reflect credit upon and compel re- spect fer the Territory and its people I de not forget that Q large share vf this advice applies to our public officials and by me it will be,,ssnstant- ly born in mind"
