RAYMOND THE hYpNuTIsT
Gave a Good Show Last Night ard
 Buried a Man.

Raymond, "the great" gave . good hypnotic entertainment to n small audience at the Davis opera house last night. He is a small man who understands the use of this power and caused the boys under his control to do many strange and comical acts.
 At the close of the show a youth who travels with the show was put into a hypnotic sleep. placed in coffin and "buried alive on a vacant lot ou Mena street next to Thacker's grocery. This grave" differs from a real one in many respects, but principally in the fact that ven- tllation tubes lead down to the sleeper, and many curious ones today have paid five cents to see the buried live man.
 Tonig ht this fellow will be "resurrected' and taken before the audience at the Davis opera house after which the usual comi- cal and interesting performance will be given assisted by "local talent"

Galveston Gave Great Entertainment 10
Newspaper People and Amarillo in
Line For Convention

Mrs r, w. Morgan has just re-
turned from the meeting of the Texas
Press association held at Galveston
last week. Mrs. Morgan made a
strong fight for Amarillo as a can
ddate for the 1908 meeting and was
ably seconded by Mr. Richard Me
Carthy Of the Leuders Gazette. Min
eral Wells, Marlin, Beaumont, Port
Layacca and Sherman were also in
the race, with Mineral Wells in the
lead. After the first ballot Port La
vacca and Beaumont were withdrawn
leaving Marlin, Mineral Wells, ANA
rillo and Sherman. Sherman dropped
out and Amarillo staid until
the last being defeated by Mineral
Wells.
AS Mrs. Morgan was entirely alone
from this section and each of the 9TH
er contestants had able and brilliant
lawyers and business men to help
them, she feels highly complimented
on the result for Amarillo. II the
proper effort is made another year
this city can secure the convention
and the gathering is one of the great

Mrs. Morgan lost no opportunity
on her trip for heralding the at
fractions of Amarillo and the great

nished great entertainment for the
visitors but the Amarillo delegate
refused to be entirely converted
by the hospitality of the Gulf city.
In talking to reported of the aGl-
weston Tribune she expressed her
sentiments by saying:

made Three
CONVICTIONS
District Court Decided FateS
Of Evans, Flynn and Thorpe
Tuesday

Three prison sentences given in
one day is a record not often reached
by any court but yesterday in three
cases that we're tried before the dis
trict court the jury In every case
found the defendant guilty and as
sessed' the punishment at two years
Imprisonment in the state penltenti-
airy.
All three OF the prisoners were Of
that class OF wanderers whose natu-
raj home in Amarillo seems to be
the Bowery, In only one case did
the defendant enter a plea of not
guilty.
VIII Thorpe, the young fellow
charged with the theft of a watch
on the Bowery last week, didn't
know" whether he was guilty or not
guilty and refused to plead so the
judge entered a plea OF not guilty
for him, The prisoner then went on,
as related yesterday, to explain that
he was "blind drunk" and did not
remember what he had done. How
the watch, which the officers found
in his sock, got there he really could
not remember but explained that he
was in such helpless condition that
anyone could have stuffed his sock
full OF watches or could used him in
any other way and he could not have
resisted them, Several details OF the
story which had been overlooked by
Thorpe were elaborated by other wit
nesses, including the boy who lost
the watch The accounts of these
other witnesses went FAR toward eX-
planning the course of the watch from
the boys pocket to the helpless Mr..
Thorpe's sock,
In the Thorpe case the jury was
out over three hours before finding
a verdict. Whether the point at va
rance was the criminal liability Of
a man who left his sock open to
catch watches and other valuables
or the proper treatment for a vic
tim who was so imposed upon by
his companions. was not revealed in
the verdict but the jury evidently
considered that the wearing OF
watches in socks was good form only
at Christmas and that the prisoners
Santa Claus plea did not justify him
before the unfeeling law The jury
found him guilty of theft from the
person and fixed his penalty at two
years Imprisonment.
Conviction for Flynn.
Thomas Flynn, whose case was
called yesterday afternoon, plead
guilty but said he was mot guilty"
but he "had no friends and no money
and they might as well go ahead and
stick him. Judge Browning refused
to hear the plea Of guilty under such
and received testimony
in the case.
The prosecuting witness in this
