LETTERTOCAPT. HAY

gis City, Oak, in September, 1885.
Major Penrose could not have been
Ignorant of the previous murder
Gus career of the Twentyffth, and
hence his responsibility was all the
greater, especially after the en-
counter of one of his men with
Customs Officer Tate, and the at
tempted outrage upon Mrs. Evans
by one of his men. Why have
you ignored these points?
Why have you failed to ask any
of the officers who have testified,
whether they did not recognize the
report of the army rifles when they
were being fired during the raid?
Why have you not introduced
any of the shells that were picked
up in Brownsville after the raid as
evidence? Or the bullets that were
dug out of the walls of the houses
nto which they were fired? Or
the cap of the negro soldier Askew,
which was picked up in town the
morning after the raid? And why
have you ignored the attempt of
the negro soldiers to break into the
arsenal about three o'clock on the
morning before they left Fort
Brown? This was undoubtedly
part of a murderous plot to break
into the arsenal, secure gunpowder
and blow up the town, and only
the timely appearance of the teams
ter, VIM. Forster, prevented it.
Lieut.. Grier himself admitted to
me that the lock was broken off
and the door partially forced open
the night in question. If Major
Penrose had maintained q guard at
the arsenal. as he assured the citi-
zens ne would do, this plot would
not have been possible.
You have also ignored the dis

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infarned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cnre. Send for circulars free.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure ali kidney

G. K. Page, real estate and in

great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull
aching pain in her back which
had given her considerable annoy
ance for over a year. They also
corrected the action of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact I have no hesitation in en-
dorsing this remedy, and thus it
may be the means of helping
others similarly afflicted. "

Lawrason, or Grier- I am not sure
Just now which-regarding the
call to arms. This witness says
he heard Major Penrose order the
call to arms sounded, whereas Maj
or Blocksom stated on the stand
that the call to arms was sounded
without order, indicating that the
sergeant of the guard was in the
conspiracy to attack the town, and
sounded the call to arms in order
to throw open the gun rack, Great
ing the impression that the post
had been attacked, and permitting
the raiders to slip back into the
post with their guns without be-
ing detected. Maj. BIS. testimony
was not disputed at the time. He
told me the same thing when here
and must have gotten his informa-
ton from Maj. Penrose himself.
The negro soldiers have not
overlooked the 'gunpowder plot, "
or the attempt to break into the ar
senal, but long since told of it be-
fore the senatorial committee claim
ing that it was citizens from
Brownsville who attempted to
break open the arsenal. Maj. PEN
rose assured the citizens the day
after the outrage that all guns ex-
cept those used by the guard
would be placed in the arsenal
and kept under guard with a COM
missioned officer in charge, but I
am informed that he never kept
his word in this respect.
One more question: What was
done with the six or seven mem
bers of Company c. whom Capt.
Lawrason testi6es lie found with
foul gus on inspecting their rifles
the morning after the outrage? He
swore that he turned them over to
Major Penrose and Captain Mack
lin, and that is the last heard of
these soldiers who must have been
some of the guilty ones.
There are many other instances
in which you have failed to make
good"as prosecuting attorney, and
the impression is growing through
out Texas that a court martial
with an officer of rank inferior to
that of the accused as judge advocate
is a mere farce or withdrawing
I hope, however in the
name of justice that you will not
permit the defense to clear the &C
cused by fastening this Infamous
crime upon a town that has already
so heavily at the hands of
The United States soldiers.
