WANTS new TRIAL
MOTION FOR REHEARING IN
PENALTY AND CUSTER
CASE lie FILED.
FOLLOWED FIXED PLAN
Reason for Carrying Case to the
Supreme Court Is Same as
Presented to Court of
Civil Appeals.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 13.-Attor-
neys for the Waters-Pierce Oil CON-
pany yesterday afternoon filed in
the court of civil appeals a motion
for a rehearing in the penalty and
custer suit instituted against the
company by the state, and the appel
late court will turn over to the su-
preme court the motion and other
data, and this court will pass upon
the question of whether or not it
will review the case.
In appealing the case to the su-
preme court the company only car
ried out its plan already mapped
out, and it was only a question of
how soon the motion would be filed.
The law gives thirty days from
the date of decision in the appellate
court to file an application for an
appeal to the supreme court, and
Friday would be the final date upon
which the appeal could be taken.
The same reasons are embodied
in the appeal to the supreme court
as were presented in the motion of
the company to have the case re-
heard in the court of civil appeals.
The usual coterie of attorneys
had their signatures to the motion.

Gainesville, Ca, Feb, 1.-TWO
sons-in-law of the late Sam Jones,
the famous Georgia evangelist, are
now in the limelight and their trou-
bles will soon be aired in the Geor-
gia courts. One of them, the Rev.
Walt Holcombe, known throughout
the country as co-worker with his
famous father-in-law, has been in
dicted on charge of using obscene
language before ladies. The other,
B. c. Sloan, has appealed to the state
supreme court in an attempt to Sc
cure possession of his little son, now
in the custody of Mrs. Sam Jones,
widow of the great evangelist.
The Holcombe case continues to
be a subject of interest here and the
town is divided into warning fac
tions, a portion of the people up
holding the evangelist and others
denouncing him in violent terms.
