HE APPEALS
FOR AID
Mac Stewart Has Not Yet
Lost Hope.
HAS FAITH IN CROSBY.

From His Dungeon the Aged ex-COn-
federate Writes Letters To His
Friends In the United States, Urg-
ing Them To Help Him Regain His
Freedom.
Mac Stewart, the ex-confederate
soldier, is still earnestly endeavoring
to escape the penalty of the courts of
Mexico for killing Mexican police
man at Parral.
His case has been made famous in
all parts of the south through the he
roic efforts of his old comrades to pro-
cure q pardon for him. Column after
column concerning the case has been
published in the leading papers of the
country and the public is entirely ia
milisr with the whole story OF the
killing and subsequent trial OF Stewart
and the passing upon him by the judges
of the death sentence.
For q long time he had been confined
in filthy Mexican prison at Parral
while his case was being reviewed by
the higher courts. He was lacking in
money to insure the proper conduct OF
his case in the courts and to obtain le-
gal aid, but friends in the United
States came to his assistance. They
even went so far as to send an emissary
to Mexico, who called upon President
Diaz. Governor Ahumada, and others
| in authority, to endeavor to procure q
pardon. Letters were obtained from
influential persons in all parts of the
south, and presented to President
Diaz by DIR. r. G. Lignosky of
Texas, who visited Mexico in person
to intercede for Stewart. From present
| indications his-effOrts in behalf of the
old soldier were entirely -unavailing
and sStewart remains a prisoner with
no prospects of escaping the death
penalty for the crime committed sew
eral years ago and of which he claims
| to bs innocent.
From his prison cell he has recently
sent to Texas the following communi-
cations to Brigadier General c. G.
| Besvens, of the United Confederate
veterans at Houston, who has interest
ed himself IN behalf of the condemned
man
"CH1HUAHUA, June 10, 1s98.-Dear
Friend and Comrade: Judge Crosby
called to see me today He thinks II
we could raise the money he could get
me out, either free or on bond. 1 like
the way he talks and 1 believe he could
get me out. He met one or two cattle
friends not long ago and they asked
him to call and see me. They told him
| they thought they could get the money
if they were satisfied it would get me
out. Judge Crosby says, not that he
wants the money so much, but that it
vii be necessary to have it to pay
where it will be needed. e
ST think if you and Judge Crosby
would write to Mr.. Barley at Fort
Worth, the man who deposited the
$500 in bank to be paid to the man
getting me out, think he would see
those who gave it and get their consent
to let Judge Crosby use it, for they
would know that it would not be blow
ed in foolishly if he took it and agreed
to help me. The judge told me abont
receiving letters from you all and
mentioned Comrade Lambert especial
ly, and 1 see in today's News that he is
dead, and L am very sorry to hear it.
The judge did not tell me his plans,
but he got Clayton, the American, out
of this place, and Clayton bad much
