A majority of the inhabitants are
highly dissatisfied with the cessation

would be all ended in a week or ten
days were the advantage pushed. The
rebels are delighted at the delay. which

subjects will give m m-ch evidence before

a fear that to express themselves can

ACTION OF TEXAS COURTS
CONDEMNED MAN CONVICTED OF
POISONING HIS WIFE.
Formerly Lived in This State, Wher
He Married the Woman He
Murdered-CoId-B -BIooded
Crime.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 4.-The Court Of
Criminal Appeals here to-day affirmed
the death sentence of Rev. George E.
Morrison, who murdered his wife few
months ago at Panhandle City, Texas,
by strychnine poison.
This is one of the most remarkable
murder cases in the criminal annals of
Texas. Rev. Mr.. Morrison was born and
reared in Massachusetts, and his father
is a presiding elder of the Methodist
church in California. The condemned
man lived for some time in that State
and was married there to the woman
he afterward poisoned. They removed
to Panhandle City about four years ago
and Rev. Mr. Morrison was placed in
charge of the Methodist congregation.
He was held in high esteem by the peo-
ple and his domestic life was apparent
ly happy.
A wear or more ago he went to Kan
sas City. Mo, to undergo medical treat
ment While there he met a young Iauy
who was one of his SchoolmateS IN MS
boyhood days, and to whom ne hao
been engaged before leaving his Mas
sachusetts home. The spark of love
was rekindIed in the breast of the
Texas minister and without telling the
woman of his wife in Texas he began
paying her ardent attention. He told
her he was a wealthy cattleman and
had a large ranch in Texas. He re-
turned to his wife in Panhandle City
in the course of a few weeks and pro-
ceeded to carry on a correspondence
with his sweetheart, mailing his letters
from a neighbOring town.
1t is alleged in the statement of facts
in the case that the convicted man
carefully planned the murder. He
waited until the physicians in the town
were temporarily absent and then ad-
ministered the fatal drug. Immediately
after the funeral Morrison left for
Kansas City. Suspicious were aroused
and the body was disinterred and an
analysis of the stomach revealed that
death was due to stryChnine poison.
Morrison heard of the proceedings and
fed from Kansas City. He was pur-
sued through several Western States
and Mexico and finally retraced to
Kansas City, where his arrest occurred.
On his person was found forged deeds
to large ranch properties in Texas,
which he had used to make his intended
in Kansas City believe he was a man
of wealth. When his trial came off the
mans father wrote to the court Off
cials declining to- aid his son for the
expressed reason that he believed him
guilty. The date of the hanging will
be set when the criminal court mandate
reaches the trial court.

ONE OF THEM BADLY HURT
HIT ON THE HEAD WITH A
WATER PITCHER.
Made His Escape With the Assistance
of His Companion, but Left
Broad Trail Of
Blood.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, May 4.-Architect f. D..
Wolfe, who resides at Col South SlXlh
street, had an exciting encounter with
burglars at his home about 2:30 O'CLOCK
this morning. He broke pitcher and
washbowl over a mans head and then
threw him down a flight of stairs. Evil
dences of the struggle were plainly
seen this morning. The hall and stair
way were covered with broken crockerY
and blood. Wounds were evidently in
ficted that may lead to the burglars
capture.
The burglar was no less a parsonage
than the borer," whose work in san
Jose for months has baffled the police
and terrorized timed women. His title
is derived from his effecting an en-
trance into houses by cutting out
panels in doors with an auger.
Last night he had a partner with
him. A hole about four inches square
had been bored out of the front door.
Wolfe was awakened by some noise
and saw man standing in the door
of the bedroom with a lighted candle
in his hand. The man showed the
candle in his pocket and started down
stairs. Wolfe jumped out of bed and
started in pursuit AT the head of the
stairs he met another burglar coming
from a rear room. Wolfe grabbed a
water pitcher and broke it over the
fellows head. This staggered him and
Wolfe followed up his advantage by
using the washbowl. The fellow reeled
like a drunken man and Wolfe then
threw the man down stairs. In falling
he broke the newell post at the bottom.
The burglar made his way out and dis
appeared. After daylight the mans
tracks were followed by means of blood
spots along the sidewalk. A couple of
blocks from the house it was evident
from the footprints that his companion
had joined him and helped him along
The police followed the trail of blood
down Reed street to Market and then
along Market street to the center of
town
This afternoon drops of blood were
found leading out Julian street to
Coyote Creek, and a large number of
officers made a thorough search of the
creekbed. 1t is thought the man took
refuge there.
The lower part of Wolfe's house had
been ransacked, but nothing was taken.
Some sflverWare was passed by.
The bOrer" has been operating in
San Jose for four months. In that time
no less than fifty houses have been en-
tered. But little has been taken.

NEW
FLYING MACHINE
Government Expert Has
1t About Perfected.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. May A Washington
special to the World says: Professor S.
p. Langley, secretary of the Smithson-
ian Institution and Government expert
on aerial navigation, will soon make
trial experiment with his new flying
machine. This airship has been con
structed with the $4,000 appropriated
by the last Congress for the purpose Of
experimenting with and developing fly
ing machines under the direction of the
War Department.
Professor Langley's new machine is
being built at Quantico. Va, a short
distance from Washington, on the Po-
tomac River He is working along the
same line in which he has achieved
much success in the past and has de-
veloped a machine which has demon
strated it's ability to navigate the air.
Professor Langley calls his machine an
aerodrome and it is purely flying
machine" that is, it is something much
heavier than air and entirely different
in principle from balloon, which floats
only on air of it's lightness, as ship
does in water.
1t is patterned after natures flying
machines. birds, and only differs in
principle of action in that instead of
being propelled by wings it gains and
maintains headway through the me-
dunn of a propeller fashioned on the
order of a ships screw
Professor Langley has chartered the
steamer Bartholdi and will visit the
place where his ship is building within
the next few days. The experiments
will continue until the machine reaches
such a stage of perfection that it can
be publicly exhibited and inspected by
officers of the War Department. The
machine is ready now for its trial trips.

Of a manager in London, under control of
