Mrs. Robert J. Burdette succumbed
to a critical illuess in the pastors
study of the Temple Baptist church at
o'clock last night. She remained un-
conscious several hours, and consid-
cradle alarm was felt by the few friends
who learned of her illness during the
evening.
Mrs. Burdette accompanied the doc

evening, to the Auditorium, where he
was to conduct services at the regular
midweek prayer meeting. She had not
been feeling well during the afternoon,
but had not complained of illness, as
she has carefully refrained from mem
tioning it to DR.. Burdette, owing to his
own physical weakness.
The strain of caring for DIR. Burdette
during his recent trip east has drawn
heavily upon Mrs. Burdette's vitality.
DR.. Burdette suffered a concussion of
the spine as a result of a fall sus-
tained at Sunnycrest about two weeks
prior to his departure for New York.

neutrality laws, was taken up in secur-
ing a jury. Seven men out of the neces-
sary twenty-four were accepted today.
The jurors are subjected to searching
inquiries for qualification, and several
tilts were exchanged between the at
torneys during the course of the exam
ination.
In court today Attorney Cleary, for
the prisoners, openly charged United
States Attorney Alexander with order
ing the United States marshal to open
all mail of the alleged revolutionists,
and declared his intention of bringing
same to the attention of the grand
jury The United States attorney, in a
heated retort, admitted the course
which he declared within his rights
and in the interest of preventing fur
ther conspiracy and violation of United
States laws.
The grand jury returned four more
counts against the prisoners this week
on conspiracy charges The prisoners
appeared in court neatly dressed and
have been the recipients of bouquets
daily from sympathizers and friends.
Many United States officials, line
riders, detectives, secret service men
and Mexican officials are here as wit
nesses and some sensational evidence
is anticipated.
