COURT SHOWS LEN|ENCY
TO PRIVATE HALL
YOUNG SOLDIER WHO HAD
THREATENED HAMMOND
MARSHAL GETS FINED.

Private Arthur N. Hall OF Fort
Stevens, who was arrested recently
on charge Of an assault against
the town marshal at Hammond, yes
terday pleaded guilty to the charge
against him and was fined SIS by
Judge Mcbride. The grand jury in
Vestigated the matter and returned a
true bill against the young soldier,
but because of certain extenuating
circumstances the charge brought
was only a misdemeanor-that of
pointing a revolver toward the mar
shal.
But the one thing that helped the
young man out was the fact that he
has heretofore borne an excellent
reputation, and that two OF the Of
cials at the fort thought enough of
him to personally come to the city
to plead that his sentence be made
light as possible, Letters from two
Of the officials were read in court
yesterday when the young mans case
came up, and after District Attorney
Tongue had explained the nature Of
the case to the court, Private Hali
was asked if he had anything he
wished to say.
He is boyish looking fellow Of
Fl years. His home is in Rainier, and
he is of good family. d. Those who
looked at him in court yesterday
could not help but wonder how such
a boyish looking fellow-good look
ing, with dark eyes, and the kind Of
a boy whose appearance somewha
indicated that he had good
mother-how he could have gone on
the wild jamberee at Hammond and
to kill the marshal. But
the young soldier soon explained.

ly to the boy, and il his remarks
did not impress the trim looking
young soldier they nevertheless did
impress the others who heard them
and probably had their effect upon
the prisoner. Judge Page appeared
for young Hall.
The facts OF the matter, appear tc
have been that Private Hall and sew
eral Of his comrades were beastiy
drunk, and Hall might have shot
and killed the marshal. The soldiers
ought to have been ashamed of their
whole visit to the little city, and of
course that was not the first time
wild orgies Of that nature have oc-
Cured there.
Another side of the soldier story is
that sometimes they are not wholly
to blame. Shut up as they are for
weeks at time, they turn to the
saloons for recreation when they
come to town, and sometimes they
get into the wrong places. Some
times one may see a soldier perfectly
sober one minute and ten minutes
later find him in a condition that ma,

Roby Baskins Hunged At Hous-

The confessed murderer of DEW. T.
Hudson, Roby Baskin, was taken out
by the citizens of Houston and vicinity,
on Tuesday afternoon and hanged to
tree near the court house. There was
no mob spirit manifested, but a de-
termination on tae part OF the people
to see that the law was speedily yindi-
Gated, and the murderer given the
penalty laid down for his offense. Sui
lenly, and without an effort to save his
life, the negro was tied to the end OF
rope and swung into eternity.
: The murder for which Baskin was
hung was committed last Saturday
morning, and the victim. DR.. w. L.
Hudson, one Of the most prominent
Baptist ministers of the state. He
wa much beloved by his congregation,
and the people generally in and around
Houston, as we'll as at the other places
he has preached.
DR.. Hudson was in the habit of going
to a grove near town to study and pre-
pare his sermons. He was followed
there by Baskin, and at the point OF a
shot gun, he was forced to give the
negro his watch and other valuables.
After robbing him, the negro grew APP
prehensive tnat Dir. Hudson might at
forwards recognize him and decided to
add murder to his crime of robbery.
He told his victim OF his intention, wne,
plead Tor his lie wliie the muzzle OF
the gun was pointed at his breast. His
entreaties were in vain, the brute
emptying the load of shot into the breast
of the minister who fell headlong into
a pond.
Baskin lost the watch in game OF
craps with another negro, and thc WIN
ner fearing that he might be caught
with it, carried it TO the officers.
Through this means BaSkin was appre-
hended Wnen confronted with the
watch, and the evidence against him he
confessed. giving 10 detail the circum-
stances attending his awful crime. The
body of DR.. Hudson was taken to Mem
