paying them for their defense OF the col
ored men. He did not go into this In his
speech, but said something else that
aroused the ire OF McCray, who thought
he was going to repeat what he had said
to him at noon. When about half through
his speech the prosecutor and Attorney
McCray again got into mix" and the
lie was passed. Judge Thornton stopped
them and promptly fined each IS for con-
tempt They paid the fine and apologized
to the court.
In giving his instructions Judge Thorn
ton referred to the fact that Martin had
failed to testify in his own behalf. "The
defendant has not gone upon the witness
stand to testify said he. This is his
privilege and right, and when you retire
to the jury room to make up your verdict
you will in no way refer to the fact that
he has not testified, nor will you in any
way consider or discuss that fact, nor per-
liberations." The court also explained to
the jury that "a confession of defendant
made under inducement Is not sufficient to
warrant a conviction without corroborat-
ing testimony" Discussing the contention
of the defense that the act under which
the indictments were brought was repealed
the court held that 'for the purpose of the
trial of this case the act of 1879 Is still in
force"
The jury brought in its verdict about S
o'clock, after being out but little over
twenty-five minutes. The penalty for
grave robbing is three to ten years in
prison. Martin made no special comment
over the verdict. His attorneys say they
will try all of the cases and then take them
TO the Supreme Court. They believe that
the higher court will hold that the indict-
ments were drawn under law that has
been nullifed. Martin was tried for re-
moving from the grave the body of Jo-
hanna Stilz. last August.

HIGUEPOTE, Venezuela, April ia
government army assumed the defensive
against the rebels under General Rolando,
General Matos's representative, ten days
ago. They marched on the camp of the
revolutonists, who numbered 5000, near
Guatiro. General Rolando retreated to Ca
paya and later to Tacarigua. He was ig-
norant of the fact that President Castro
had sent First Vice President Gomez. with
1,SOO men, by sea to this port with orders to
attack him in the rear. The advance guard
of General Rolando's force was surprised
and after a hard fight lasting fourteen
hours the rebels left in the hands of the
government troops six hundred men killed,
wounded or prisoners. The government
troops also lost heavily. The following
morning Vice President Gomez captured
1,5O0, 900 Mauser cartridges that had been
landed at Rio Chico some days ago for the
revolutionists by the Dutch schooner We
loce, from Trinidad. The rebels, finding the
government troops on their rear. tried TO
escape by the road to Guapo and Alta
Gracia, but were intercepted by 1000 gov
ernment troops, and after few hours
fight the government captured two hundred
men. forty officers and $1,000 cartridges.
Among the prisoners were Gen. Nj. Ortega
Martinez, formerly minister under Pres
ident Crespo, and DR.. Betancourt, formerly
secretary of foreign affairs under President
Andrade. Found among the killed was
Gen. Ramon Guzman, brother of Pablo
Guzman, a revolutionary general In con-
sequence of the combined action of the
government forces General Rolando may be
captured at any minute.
The government troops attacked the revo-
lutionary forces under General Riera near
Coro. The battle lasted two days and was
indecisive. The town of La Vela de Coro
was occupied by the rebels for a few hours
but was recaptured by the government last
Friday morning. The heat now prevailing
is excessive. Even the Venezuelan soldiers
are suffering. Such temperature is not re-
membered by the natives.
