In the presentation of 1.-The Two
Orphans" at the opera house last
night the Spooners were greeted by
a fairly good sized vet appreciative
audience. Despite the fact that
this play contains perhaps more
difficult parts than any play ever
presented on a stage it was quite
cleverly handled by the Spooners.
The version was altogether differ
ent 10 the one given not long ago by

for professional stage people. To-

case is Clarence Curry, a young
man from the India country. A
special venire of forty-eight men
had been drawn from which to
select the trial jury. The witnesses
for the state and defense number
about twenty-five and it will require
perhaps two or three days to try the
case. Hon. T. p. Whipple has been
employed to assist the state in the
prosecution ofthe case and Temple
ton 4 Harding will represent the de-
fendant. With a strong array of
talent on each side this trial promis-
es to be hotly contested legal bat
tie. The work of selecting jury is
now in progress.
From the facts connected with the
killing with which young Curry is
charged 1t appears to have been the
elimination Of a general row among
number of young men of the India
community. The killing took place
on the night Of October II, 1902. A
magic lantern show was in progress
at the school house at India. During
the show the Witherspsoub boys Cur
ry boys and two or three others be-
came engaged in a difficulty, which
resulted in Clarence Curry stabbing
aud killing Horace Witherspoon, a
youth about fifteen years old. Cur
ry is about twenty years old and is

/ young man.

ROCK ISLAND WILL CONTINUE
Important Announcement is
Made From New York.

The newest thing In the shape of
information concerning the Rock
Island Central deal is a story pur-
porting to bear the official stamp
from New York, apparently sane
toned by not only Rock Island off,
cials, but by Southern Pacific Off
cials as we'll
There is very little information in
the announcement that had not been
published before. 1t is to the effect
that the Rock Island has become
joint owner with the Southern Paci-
fic of the Houston and Texas Cen
trail, the Houston East and West
Texas and the Dallas Sabine divis-
ion of the Texas and New Orleans.
The most interesting feature OF
the announcement is that the South
ern Pacific will turn these proper
ties over to the Rock Island and
that they will be managed by
Rock island officials. The South
ern Pacific will retire from the Tex
as railroad world as an important
factor in its state traffic, confining
itself mainly to the transcontinental
business.
This is taken 10 mean that Rock
Island officials will hereafter man
age the properties aforesaid.
The deal is said to have been pro-
Posed by the Southern Pacific inter
ests
1t is stated in the same connection
that the Galveston, Houston and
Northern is not includ ded in the
deal and that the Rock Island will
In all probability build its own line
into Galveston or will construct a
! line from Houston to La Porte to
reach tidewater.
The three roads will become a part
/ Of the Rock Islands Southwestern
division, and while the Southern Pa
ific interests will be represented on
the directorate, its voice in the man
agement will be merely of an advis-
ory character.

Such was the verdict returned by
the jury in the Brozier Smith MUIR
der case this morning at 8:45.
When the verdict was read by the
clerk the defendunt turned ashy
pale and was heard to utter in a
semi-audible tone: "that they put 1t
to me hard"
The argument in the case was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon about
| five O'Clock.
| The charge of the court, which
touched only on murder in the first
| and second degrees, was delivered
to the jury at 5:25. They retired inn
mediately to the jury room to begin

ballot the jury stood nine to three
for murder in the first degree. The
| second ballot was unanimously in
| favor OF the first degree grade of
| murder. after which two or three
ballots were taken to fix the punish
ment ON first ballot three were
in favor of giving the negro a life
sentence in the penitentiary.
| During the trial yesterday the de-
| fendant appeared to be uncnncerned
with reference 10 the proceedings
and spent the time twisting slips of
, paper into small rolls and scattering
them around his chair. After the
Jury had retired To the jury room he
| freely discussed the matter with the
| reporter and officers, saying that he
supposed the jury would do the right
thing. He said he expected "a life
sentence, but II the jury gave him
the death penalty he supposed IL
would be all right.

When reporter called at the Jail
this afternoon he found Brozier in
seemingly high spirits. He was
| sitting on The edge of bath tub and
was laughing and joking with the
other prisoners. When asked what
he thought about the iuryS verdict,
he laughingly replied that he was
not very surprised.
The first time he sh owed any signs
of weakness was when he was hand
euffed this morning to be taken to
the courthouse to hear the verdict
read. He tremblingly asked Deputy
Sheriff Kennedy If he knew the
nature of the verdict, and when Mr..
Kennedy assured him he did not, he
slightly regained his composure.
Shortly after the jury retired yes
terday afternoon Brozier remark cd
TO deputy sheriff that IL the death
penalty was assessed against him
he would walk out of the court
house and bet the officers shoot him.
In order to preclude any possibility
of his makiag such an attempt he
was handeuffed and strongly guard

doom.
