DEATH PENALTY GIVEN.
Jury In Fines Brock Case Finds De-
PENDANT Guilty and Imposes
The Extreme Penalty,

On Tuesday night, May 81, ten
ants in the Fort Concho residence
buildings we're startled by pistol
shots ringing out and disturbing
the stiffness of that part of the
city. On the following day Fines
Brock was arrested, charged with
having committed a criminal as
suit on his fourteen year old
step daughter. On June 2, The
grand jury was re-convened, and
soon brought into court a true
bill in accordance with the fore
going. On June 4th the case was
called and a jury of twelve was
selected from special venire of
los men, and the trial entered
upon. Evidence was completed,
attorneys arguments made, and
the jury retired to consider of
their verdict Thursday afternoon,
about $3.50 o'clock. On Saturday
afternoon, after about AZ
hours, the jury brought in its
verdict of guilty" and having
fixed the punishment at death,
the extreme penalty. The jury
is said to have been unanimous as
to the defendants guilt, but we're
divided on the penalty at first,
nine being for the highest and
three for sentence of life inn
prisonment. The state was rep
resented by District attorney S.
E. Taylor, who was assisted by
D. D. Wallace, while the Defend
ants cause was determinedly up
held by Attorneys G. E. Dubois
and Allen & Upton. 1t is gener-
ally believed that this is the first
death penalty ever imposed in the
history of Tom Green county,
but "oldest inhabitants" say not.
They contend that many years
ago, negro, charged with muir
der, was sentenced to death, es-
capped, was retaken and shot or
killed in pursuit, and the gallows
thus deprived of what had been
allotted to them.
A motion for a new trial in the
Bro ok case was overruled and
notice of appeal given.
In this connection The Press
would thank and commend for
the good people of the city and
surrounding country, Judge Tim
Minis and other officers of the
court for their prompt and effec-
tive disposal of this case--such a
case as the delay of those charged
with the responsibility of enforc-
ing the laws has often led to mob
violence. Judge Timmins is to
be commended for his prompt
ness in reconvening the grand
jury and giving a speedy trial to
the miscreant, while the execu-
tive officers who placed the
wretch behind the bars promptly
and kept him securely, have
earned the warmest commenda-
ton for their promptness. By
the acts of those in authority San
is, perhaps, spared the
odium Of melting out justice by
mob law.
