NEGRO GIVEN THIRTY YEARS.
Albert Darcus Pleads Guilty On
Serious Charge.

The longest penitentiary term
given a defendant in the district
court in Ellis county since the trial
and conviction of Eugene Lee was
this morning inflicted OF a coal
black negro named Albert Dareus.
The charge against Darcus was for
assault to rape, his victim being the
daughter of Dyke TurFentfne, well
known citizen citizen of Ennis. The
trial of this case was set for today
| and large crowd Of witnesses was
In attendance. When the case was
called the defendant entered a plea
of guilty and the jury was immedi-
ately empaLeled TO assess the pun
ishment. After being out only few
minutes the following verdict was
returned: "We, the jury, find the
defendant guilty as charged in the
indictment and assess his punish
ment at thirty years in the peniten-
tiary."
The case OF Jim Richardson,
and the trial is now in progress.
Yesterday afternoon about five
O'Clock the jury in the case of Frank
Chambers who was being tried on a
charge of assault to murder, brought
In verdict of acquital. Before
counsel for the defendant had con-
cluded Introducing testimony County
Attorney Farrar and Assistant
McRae held a consultation which
resulted In the court being asked to
instruct the jury to bring in YER
diet of not guilty, This decision of
/ the jury, however, does not give
chambers his freedom. Before being
| brought here for trial he was tried
| in Kaufman county on charge of
cow theft and given two years in the
| lpenitentiary. He will remain I'm Jail
| here uEtil the penitentiary agent
comes after the Ellis county CON
victs, when he will be taken to the
| pen to serve out his time.
In the matter of calling d special
term of the court Judge billiard de-
serves hearty commendation. With
the dockets in their present eondi-
tion it would require one full
term to catch up without any new
business being added. AT the pres
ent rate of accumulation a special
session is necessarily required to |
clear the dockets. There are now on
the dockets about thirty civil jury
cases, about thirty-six criminal
cases, with possibly five or six to
be added by the grand jury before 1t
adjourns, besides a number of non
jury cases. County Attorney Far
rar is to be congratulated for hav
ing an opportunity to take up cases
that have long needed attention.
There are now about twenty pris
oners in the county Jail with state
cases pending against them. Were
they to be kept in Jail until the next
regular term it would cost the
county about $500 day 10 board
them and it would be the middle of
next january before their eases can
/ be reached. The call was ordered by
Judge billiard upon apetition signed
tby nearly every member sof the
Ellis county bar.

Portland, April 2-The republican
state convention met in this city today
for the purpose of nominating a full

the coming June election. The chief in
terest centers in the contest for the CUB
ernatorial nomination. T. T. Geer, who
has been an avOwed candidate for re-
nomination, withdrew from the contest
this morning. His withdrawal was
caused by the action of the Multnomah

to cast 65 votes for W. J. Furnish OF
Umatilla county, who now has a lead OF
nearly 100 votes over any other candi-
date, but still lacks a majority. ]. N.
