had reformed by caustic exhortation
to redeem his past by a heroic death.
They all died with him.
Several night assaults on the walls Of
the Alamo were repulsed by the valiant
Texans. After daylight. however, 1t
was plain to the defenders that they
could not keep the swarming enemy
from the citadel, yet they would not
retreat or cease fighting. At last the
few survivors remaining on the walls
had been driven back. In the rooms
and the hall of the main building they
fought on with pistols and dubbed
muskets until only Travis, Crockett,
Bowie and four others remained. Bowie
had been disabled during the siege and
was alone in his room. When the Mex
leans broke in he seized his pistols and
fought until overpowered.
Crockett, Travis and four comrades
were seized and taken alive before San
ia Anna. who ordered them to be exc
cuted at once The Mexicans advanced
with drawn sabers to carry out the
brutal command. and Crockett burst
through their ranks, springing like
panther at the throat of Santa Anna.

Smith led in detachments which swell
ed the martyrs to 1S8 men. Bowie was
a fighter of another order than Travis.
He was fierce looking six footer and
a gallant soldier. With his small band
OF borderers he had often whipped the
Mexicans with odds of ten TO one.
The Alamo was not a fortress, but
would have answered the purpose very
we'll if properly manned and proyi-
stoned. On the side facing the enemy
was a wall three feet thick. Travis
had fourteen cannon in position. Wa
ter was plenty, but provisions scarce.
Several times the Texans sailed forth
and drove off the MeXicans when try
ing to establish batteries near the
walls. Over 500 Mexicans were killed
and 1000 wounded during the siege
and final battle.
1t was a strange fate that brought
that strange man Davy Crockett into
the Alamo one day in February just
before the catastrophe. With him were
four companions picked up on his aim

described them in diary found on his
person as an eX-pirate of the gulf, an

place Feb. %, 1896, when it was gar
risoned by only 145 Texan patriots.
The siege of the Alamo. ending in
the horrible massacre of March q, was
not wholly a one sided affair. The
place had been taken from the Next
cans by force of arms, and its captors
wanted to hold it at all risk for an out
post of the new nation just getting on
war paint. Colonel Travis. the Texan
commander, sent cOuriers out among
the settlers to arouse them to defense.
In a message dated March 3 he said:
81 am still here in fine spirits with 145
men, / have held this place ten days

to 5000 and shall continue to hold 1t

Jackson. Ky. June I1.-Putting the
town under martial law with Provost
Marshal Longmire IN charge. has GREAT
relief in others. h soldiers on guard
and on picket duty are authorized to
make arrests anywhere and AXE their
prisoners before the grand jury, and
not before the county judge. The pres
ence OF State Inspector Hines also con-
tInues TO be a matter of respect as we'll
as OF anxious speculation. The closing
OF the blind tigers" and the vigilant
patrol OF the troops, to see that the
closing orders OF the provost marshal
are rigldly enforced. have stopped the
random flrInE III and about the town
at night, and also have made quite a.
difference during the day. In the town
there IS q general impression that Gov
ernor Beckham proposes to have order
in Jackson and let the law take it's
course in Breathitt county.
1t was openly stated that Il. l.. Even
would not have dared heretofore to
have told about being offered $4,000 if
he would not testify against the defen-
dant. 1t is thought the jurors. as we'll
as the witnesses, Will nave less fear in
the discharge of their duties. The SOL
dlers are disarming all whom they find
with concealed weapons II are main
tanning such order n confidence as
have not been known here for some,
time.
Miss Laura RaWlins, a clerk. testi-
fled that she saw Jet come out of the
side door of the court house just after
the shooting of Marcum. and Eldum
Sack testified TO the same thing.
Henry Hurst, Marcum's b%rother-in-
law. was at the postofffce at the time
of the shooting and he testified to Wha;
he saw after he reached the court
Hurst, the defense objected to any ref
erence to Joseph MOOre'S statements
about poisoning prisoners. The court
took the admission of this evidence I'M
der adViSement.
Grannis Back, son of Judge Back.
testified to seeing Jet enter the court
house before the shooting.
5. 5. Taulbee testified to seeing Even
looking into the court house While the
shooting was going on and then run
dow the street.
Later the court ruled that Hurst
could testify as to the conversation
about poisoning prisoners, but attor-
neyS for the defense withdrew the queS-
ton II the evidence could not be en-
tered. The conversation was that Tom
White was told by Hurst that two m"n
would give So 600 each to have the pm
OnerS poisoned in case of conviction, 10
