NOT DENIED REHEARING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-On October
19 the Associated Press sent dispatch
from this city to the effect that in the
United States supreme court the Inter
national textbook company was denied
rehearing in its suit against Aaron
w. Pigg of Topeka, Kan. 1t now ap-
pears this was an error caused by a
mistake of the supreme court clerk
who confused this case with another
having a like number on the court cal
endar. The case of the International
textbook company against Pigg has
not yet been argued.

ginning of October. taking his wife
with him. 1t was then believed that
he was going to Seattle.

paign trip through Southern states,
his several speeches on the subject of
the south's right to participate i'm the
affairs Of the government, acclimated
by his address at the North Carolina
Society at New York recently, have
awakened what seems to be a univer-

and towns in Texas have just laid be-
fore him ans-elaborate invitation en-
crossed on, parchment and 'coucnei in
the most cordial phrases, asking his

OF the invitation is followed in earn
estness by many other cities OF the
south and the invitation feature of the
mail of the president-elect is grow
ing heavier each day. The people of
Texas lay claim for visit in the fol-
lowing words:

WILL ENDEAvoR TO SKATER
TESTIMONY OF MRS. ANNiS

Lawyers for Thornton J. Hams as
serted today that every effort will be
put forth ito shatter that part of Mrs.
Helen e Annis's testimony that the
defendant beckoned his brother and
the two men went to the float where
CAPTAIN Hains shot and killed William
e Annis as he was making landing
with his boat This evidence, Hains'S
counsel declare, was suggested 10 Mrs.
Annis in order that her testimony
might bring the defendant within the
meaning of the statute that there
must be some overt act to show that
he induced or procured his brother to
commit the crime.
Mrs. Annis must have been coach
ed in this part of her testimony" said
Joseph Shay, associate counsel in the
Hams case, today. I'VE intend TO
subpoena District Attorney Darrin and
Special Prosecutor White as witness
es. It is a strange thing thai she did
not recall this beckOning episode or
speak of il to anyone until last week.
The telling of this episode would
have been given to another witness to
relate but it was known that Mrs. An
mis- would not be subjected to such a
rigorous cross-examination as another
witness would be.
The defense hope to develop from
witnesses to be called that from the po-
sition in which Mrs Annis was stand
ing she could not have seen her nus
band make the landing and at the
same time have seen Thornton Hams
beckon to his brother. District Attor-
ney Darrin may recall Mrs. Annis to
