ment for the defense on statutory
grounds. He read the statute apply
| ing to the testimony of accomplices,
hich Is as follows:
ga conviction cannot beishad upon
the testimony of an accomplice uuleGs
corrobOrHted by other evidence tend
ing to connect til e defendant with the
offiense committed, and the corroDora-
ton ia not sufficient if it merely shows
the commission of the offense.
"The cOrroborating evidence to be
sufficient must of itself and without
the aid of the accomplice's testimony,
tend In some degree to convict the de-
PENDANT with the commission of the
offense for which he is on trial, but 1T
need not be sufficient of itself to
establish his guilt. 1t must tend to
connect the defendant with the offense
committed. 1t must be as to material
matters. 1t must tend directly and
Immediately. not merely remotely to
connect the defendant with the COM
mission of the offense.''
He argued that Tiague is clearly an
accomplish AID read the evidence
and decisions in similar cases to de-
morstrate it. He also mentioned the
fact that Tiague is under Indictment
together with "Dud" and Corey Black,
charged with the same offence. He
then dwelt upon the nature of
the corroborative evidence that must
be offered to supplement that of an &C.
com plice to an offense, and cited the
case of Crowell against the State OF
Texas, decided by Judge Wilson, of
the court of appeals. from which he
read the following extract bearing up
on this case:
ga fraudulent taking of property
without the consent of the owner, with
intent to deprive the owner of the
value OF the property and sppropris e
it tt the use and benefit of the person
taking it, constitutes the offenSe OF
theft. Such taking of the property
completes the offense. The fsctum
probardum, therefore, is such taking.
Where the main fact In issue is not
directly attested by an eyewitness, but
is proved as a matter of inference from
9th err facts in evidence, the case rests
wholly upon circumStantiat evidence.
There is no evidence proving the
corpus deficit of tie alleged theft, ex-
cept the testimony of an accomplish.
He alone saw the animal that was
killed and to this portion of his testi-
mony there is no corroborating evil
dence. 1t is only from the testimony
of this accomplice that we are informed
that the animal killed was one of
Caring toms cattle and not the defend
ants own property. Can such testi-
mony support a conviction? We think
not"
Judge Fall followed Judge Clark,
making a brief argument.

The .'DUD"
BLACK CASE
Brings Up An Interesting
Question Of Law
VOLUNTEER FIREMAN
Makes d Test Case Of His Liability
To Jury Dutv-The Jury's
Verdict In the Black Case Rests
Upon a Question Of Law As much
AS Fact

The case of s.Dud,' Black, charged
with the theft of two head of cattle
from o. L. Locket at Grow Flat in
December last, which was begun be-
fore Judge Walthall and jury In the
district court yesterday afternoon, was
con tinued today.
An interesting question came up In
the psneling of the jury yesterday, al
ternoon. Among those summoned to
appe ar as petit jurors was Lyman
Krupp. q volunteer fireman, belonging
to Hose company No. 1. He asked to
be excused from jury duty on this
ground The court refused to excuse
him inssmuch as be does not belong
to the paid department Mr..
Krupp thereupon refused to
serve and was fined S. by the court.
The matter will come'up on writ of
habess corpus before Judge Goggan
when he arrives. 1t will undoubte
ly have to be passed upon by the court
of appeals before it Is settled, and Will
be q test case of the question of volun-
teer iremen being compelled to serve
upon juries. Judge Edwards has been
employed to act as Mr.. Krupp's
counsel.
The first witness in the Black case
was o. L. Locket, who testified to
owing q herd of cattle at Crow Flat. in
this county (which was in charge of his
brother, L. D. Locket, at the time the
two head alleged to have been stolen
were missed.
L. D. Locket testified that the two
head OF cattle were missed about
December 8.
r. N. Warren said that number of
complaints had been made about that
time about the theft of cattle.
The county clerk testified to
Locket's brand. "22' on the left
side and an under crop on each
ear.
G. d. Tiague was next put upon the
stand, as the principal witness for the
prosecution. He said that in Novem-
Der and December, last, he was living

with "Pink" Black, about seven miles
from "Dud" aud Corey Black. On the
day that the theft is alleged to have
been committed he left the ranch for q
few hours. When he returned he saw
two head of cattle in the corral which
had been slaughtered during his alb
sence. He saw the brand, '22" on
left sides.
II. D. Stolz testified that he had
bought seven quarters of beef about
two weeks before Christmas. He
identified Tisgue and "Pink" Black as
two of them who had sold him the beef,
but could not identify the third man.
Ranger Hudson saw the men coming
toward ELPaso and identified 'Dud''
and Corsey Black and Tisgue. Deputy
Sheriff Bryant said that he was in
Buchanan's store in Ysleta when
"Plnk" Black came in and tried to sell
some beef. The deputy sheriff also
heard Black negotiating with another
man for sale.
George Buchanan, of Yslets, testi-
fed that "Pink" Black had tried to
sell him some dressed beef just before
Christmas.
He had arranged to come to town
with the Blacks to do some trading
They placed the beeves in wagon in
which be accompanied them to Ysleta,
father of "Dud" Black for a day or
two. during a severe spell of weather.
Failing to sell the beef in Ysleta, the
Blacks brought il to Ell Psso and sold
it to a butcher v 1om Tiague did not
know. 81. d. ST, IL was called into the
court room and Tiague identified him
as the butcher.
On cross examination Tiague said
that none of the beef was eaten ON the
way but that one quarter of it was
He had eaten some of it himself.
Here the prosecution rested and court
was ad burned until this morning.
The defense offered no evidence.
Judge Leigh Clark, who with Judge
A. B. Fall, is counsel for the defend
ant, made motion that the court in
struct the jury to bring in verdict of
not guilty en- the ground that the
states case rested wholly upon the
evidence of Tiague, who, he held,
should be considered as an accomplice.
The jury was distressed from the court
room while the argument on this mo-
tion was being made. The argument
took up most of the morning session.
The motion was overruled by Judge
Wslthall.
The jury WAS then recalled and Dis
trict Attorney Dean made the opening
argument for the state. He did not
admit that Tisgue is an accomplice
but argued that if he be so considere
the evidence adduced was sufficiently
corroborative of his, under the re-
quirements of the law, to convict
"Dud" Black.
Judge Clark made lengthy argu-

The surrender OF General Conon and

Lieutenant Munro had only fifty

Inducements were far in his rear. He
communicated by telegraph with the
insurgent leader, stating that he was
