SHELTER SITE SELECTED.
A Great Enterprise About to Be In
duqurdted.

The projectors of the new smelter
have agreed upon site for the plant
about mile from the city limits and
to the east of Mount Franklin; it can
be seen from from the new Fort road.
The site contains sixty acres, and has
just been purchased from, the east Ell
Paso Land company. 1t is a conve-
nient one, and q branch will be run
from the main track of the Ell PasO &
Northeastern.
A party of surveyors have been lay
ing off the necessary buildings and
work will begin as soon as possible.
The company that is erecting the
plant will at first reduce only the ores
obtained from their own mines in Ari-
IONA. But it is their intention to treat,
as soon as soon as possible, custom ores
which will undoubtedly arrive from
the rich mines in the Jarillas and that
vicinity.
The smelter will employ large
force of men and will add materially to
Ell Paso's wealth and population.

TEN EXCEPTIONS NOTED

1t Is Alleged That the Court Erred In
Permitting illusions to Previous
Trials, In Admitting Certain
Evidence, In Failing to Charge the
Jury As TO Manslaughter, And In
Imperfect Charge AS to Law of Sell
Defense.
A motion for a new trial ic the case
of o. L. Price, convicted of the MUIR
der of @. E. Mulhern on the 11th OF
November 1898, at Fort Davis, in JEFF

State of Texas, VS. o. L. Price, No.
1886 in 34th District Court, Ell Paso
County, Texas. April Term.
Now comes 0. l.. Price, defendant In
the above styled cause and moves the
court to set aside the verdict of the
jury, and judgment of court based
thereon, and grant him a new trial il
this cause for the following reasons to
wit:
First-Because the court erred in per-
uniting the states counsel to ask the
defendant, while on the witness stand,
if he had not declined and refused to
testify on the examining trial of this
case before the county Judge of jeff
Davis county, on the day of Novem Der,
1898, and in compelling the defendant
to answer said question, which answer
was that be had not testified on such
examining trial. Objection was made
to this question and answer on the
ground that the states counsel had no
rightito allude to the failure of the de-
PENDANT to testify in his own behalf on
any previous trial, and had no right un-
der the statute to prove such failure
to testify.
Second-Because the district attor-
ney, in his concluding argument to the
jury. said: "Gentlemeu of the jury,
this defendant had an opportunity to
testify to self defense on his own be-
half on the examining trial of this case
before the county judge of jeff Davis

habess corpus trials, only few days
after the homicide, and he refused to
testify at all then, but now, after he
has had six months to study and fix up
q defense. he gets on the stand and
tells you that he acted in his own self
defense. Why didn't he testify then
about it?' Objection was made by the |!
to this allusion and comment
on the failure of the defendant to tes- |
tify in his own behalf. and q bill of ex-
captions reserved thereto at the time |
such language was used.
