Says Her Counsel, Attorney D. a.
Richardson

Attorney d, A. Richardson, who
with Judge Balderrama, of Juarez, is
defending Mrs. Rich in her trial which
Is now going on, said today that there
is absolutely no doubt that Mrs. Ric q
will be acquitted for the charge OF
murder.
The state, he said, rests entirely up
on the dying statement of Rich for a
conviction. This statement was
written two hours before Rich's death.
1t was written by some one other than
Rich and is signed simply "John,' in
an almost illegihle scrswl. There was
no witness to the statement, though
it was made in the hospital where there
were a score of people within easy call.
The counsel for the defense have Of
fered An affidavit from DIR. Horsley,
who was in attenda nee upon Rich, that
he was not in his right mind for TWEEN
ty-four hours before his death.
Furthermore the laws of Mexico re-
quire that such statements, to be valid,
must be taken to the local consul and
attested by him, then sent to the min
lister of foreign affairs In the City of
Mexico, for his statement of the au-
the court In which the trial is to be
held. None of these requirements
we're fulfilled and, Mr.. Richardson
Gays, the evidence is worthless. The
testimony of the defense was submitted
today, though the counsel had until to-
morrow to close their case. Accord
ing to the Mexican procedure all the
testimony is submitted il writing and
the court then has eight days in
which to consider it.
Mr.. Richardson said that the defense
rests upon the contravention of Mrs.
Rich's statement. No effort will be
made to prove Mrs. Rich's insanity for
the reason that If it was proved she
would be confined in an asylum until
her recovery and then tried. Mr..
Richardson said there was no need of
proving her insanity as she will un.
doubleday be cleared and can then be
placed in an Am rican asylum.

HE DOES NOT
FAVOR 1T
President Reynolds Opposed
To the Proposed Law
REQUIRING ALL CASHIERS
To Make Known To the Assessor
the Amount Of Deposits OF
Clients OF Bank-Is Opposed
To Statehood For New Mexico

"As long as this bank does business
here, it will refuse to make public to
the assessor or anyone else not proper
" authorized the business secrets OF
it's clients, or the amount OF deposits OF
individual depositors.
This is the essence OF q statement
made this morning by Joshua A. Ray
nolds, president of the First National
banks of Ell Paso and Albuquerque.
The statement was MADE in connec-
ton with discussion of the law which
il Is proposed to pass at the coming
special session of the Texas legis-
lsture and which is intended to make
it obligatory on the cashier or proper
officials of banks to make q statement
when so required, to the assessor, OF
the amount of money on deposit
to the credit of any depositors in their
respective banks.
zone of the first things we teach our
employees" continued Mr.. Reynolds,
lis to maintain secrecy in regard to
the affairs of clients of the bank with
which they become acquainted in the
ordinary course of business. It would
be, think, as much violation OF con-
fidence on our part to disclose the state
of our depositors' affairs, as 1t would be
for lawyer to make known the conf
dences of his client. 1t is an absolute
necessity in the business that we keep
its legitimate secrets.
1.-The law as proposed seems to re-
feet on the truth telling tendency of
the business community, in general.
and to say that each business man has
probably lied to the assessor, and that
therefore the assessor may, through
the medium of his bank, prove him q
liar. 1t is intended to be means of
finding exactly what a mans personal
property amounts to. AS l have said,
we shall not agree to any thing OF the
sort. We would rather 60 out OF bust
ness first.

Both in respect to comfort and working ca

between the effects of the weather on one day
and the next. Physicians are only too well
aware of kindred variations in the condition of
invalids. It has been supposed that these
changes were due solely TO temperature, hu-
mdity or barometric pressure, and if one makes
careful comparison he VIII be able to construct
an argument of mean force in support OF
that idea. 1t has been suspected, however, that
atmospheric electricity also has a share IN the

possibility at great length in the "Sonderab-

paper possesses the higher value because Dr.

he can detect a definite connection between this
poorly understood phenomenon and the expert

the only thing that is certainly known is that
