Joseph Brown was before the court this
morning for carrying a revolver. He adj
mitted his guilt and Policeman Jackson pro-
duced the loaded weapon taken from his
coat pocket
Brown had been down the river, and
was told upon the return of the boat that
he had the weapon in his pocket" the po-
liceman said. when I placed him under
arrest found the weapon
What were you doing with the loaded
revolver in your pocket?' the court asked
the prisoner.
TT was put in my pocket by another
man." was the prisoners answer. 1.-The man
put something heavy in my pocket and
did not pay enough attention to 1t to tell
what it was until the policeman arrested
me-"
His excuse. the court said, was quite
amusing but he sent him to Jail to spend
one year minus a day unless fine of 500
Is paid.

the trial will begin after a day devoted
to arguing preliminary motions and law
points 1t will be two years in Novem-

bringing about trial has caused much

kept under special guard while in the
Jail here. The three still in the federal
penitentiary will be brought here daily

1t is not definitely settled whether or
not Arthur Hewitt, the mutineer in the
Texas penitentiary. will be released so
that he can be tried with the others The
application for pardon has not been
granted. Only A. short time ago Hewitt
organized a plot to blow UP part of the
Huntsville, Texas, penitentiary with
dynamite so that he could make his
escape. It is learned that the Texas Of
ficials will be glad to get rid of him by
turning him over to the federal authori-
ties. The action of Hewitt was inspired
by a desire to get away from Texas be-
fore he could be brought back here.
