The filing of the motion to-day
was surprise to many. especially
District Attorney Marrero. who ex
pected that Attorney Flynn would
present the motion on Tuesday. and
be prepared to argue II merits i'm
mediately. However. as Mr.. Flynn
explained. II never put off for to-

ter o'clock.

torney Flynn devOtes considerable
argument to the failure of the State
to prove corpus deIiciti or the
death of the deceased Walter La

lha state failed to prove that the per-
son murdered was the deceased de-
scribed in the Indictment, or that he |
was felOniOusly killed. and that the |
prisoners and Nicolina |
Iebbia were the guilty agents.

hat there was 10 motive shown

'iewd at great length, especially
hat part Of the evidence which re-
atcd to the finding of the body, the
Identification by clothing, and the
process verbal Of the coroner, which
ended to describe the wound which
aused the death Of the deceased. !
Attorney Flynn stated last night

GROWING SUGAR CANE IN TEXAS.
The Lone Star State Ahead of Hawaii in
the Production of Sugar.

Sugar-making appears to be one Of the
destined large industries Of this prolific
state. The lower valley Of the 10
Grande for Il distance of 100 miles in
land from the gulf, is said by sugar
cane experts to be the most favorable
spot in the United States for the cult
walton of that plant Owing to its eX-
IRENE southern latitude, 400 miles south
of the Louisiana cane fields, the crop
may develop fully without danger of
frost. Planters in the lower Rio Grande
valley give their cane full twelve
months to mature, against eight or ten

menace later than October. The COM
bined richness of the Texas soil. I'M
equaled even i'll Cuba, and favorable eli
matte conditions, place the yield of this
region above that of Hawaii. \ planting
itabiy for eight years, against three years
at the extreme, in other cane growing
sections of the United States.
Texas has great plans for coming into
the sugar market of the United States,
and coming in strong. Great plantation
companies are being organized, and the
most extensive irrigation works on this
continent are under process of cOnStruc-
ton in the Rio Grande valley. RefinerieS
are Springing up there, and the com

inducement and assistance to industrious
men of small means to come IN and begin

hold moisture during severe winter

shrubbery may be planted among the
trees, and near the outside some ever

from these into barrels or on to

ing bag is made by placing pebble in

The mouth of the bag comes to the
