For weeks Americans have been
leaving the city for the United states,
and the news of today has resulted in
sudden augmentation in the exodus
Tonight's train from Vera Cruz car
ried numbers of Americans. chieny
women and children and many unable
to obtain accommodations on the
boats whose reservations are booked
for three weeks in advance, are at
tempting to get out of the country
over the one railroad left open to the
north.
Fear that further fighting will be
followed by Intervention, and that this
Will result in scenes of tragic disor-
der is expressed on every hand.
Belief that the United States will
take part in Mexico's affairs was
stimulated this morning by the pub
lication in a local newspaper of a
dispatch from New York. purporting
to be a copy of a Washington dis
patch published in New York news
paper. According to this dispatch
Taft had discussed at length the sit
uatlon, saying that intervention was
imminent and furnishing the details
of the movement of troops and war
ships, and landing of troops at Vera
Cruz and even the amount of the in
demnity the United States would ask
at the close of the war.
This afternoon the New York news
paper telegraphed to this city a state
ment denying the publication or re-
ceiDt of any such story.
Although not true the story has had
its effect ON the people, many Of whom
now believe the end of independence
is at hand. 1t is this feeling which
may grow into more serious menace
for Americans.

that Secretary Knox feels that he has
not been consulted as freely on the
matter as his position at the head OF

that the war department and officers
of the army have too much sway in

A report also was persistent to-

was obtanable.
A suggestion that Secretary Knox

WHEAILEY
ACQUITTED
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY FOR
THE KILLING OF BUD ROB-
BINS TWO YEARS AGO.
Self Defense was the Basis Of the Ver-
dict of Last Niaht-other lndict-
ments Are Still Pending in
Court.

Rufe Wheaileys was last night ac-
quilted of the charge Of killing Bud
Robbins which took place in his city
more than two years ago. The jury
retired at 5.30 in the afternoon, ar
gued the case until Z, then took a
supper recess until s, and at S:45 had
their verdict ready.
The trial was the third one Of the
issue. The first was prosecuted by
Henry Means, former prosecuting at
torney. and resulted in convictions
with a sentence of two years, after
the jury had reduced the charge TO
manslaughter
The second and final trials were
prosecuted by Prosecuting Attorney
j. b. Wood, and both took place at
the present term Of court. The sec
end trial resulted in a divided jury,
and the third conclusion was that of
last night, when an acquittal was the
verdict.
Rnfe Wheatley stlLl stands indicted
for the killing OF Murt Waycasey,
which took place on the same occa
sion, but the case against WheatIey
for the killing of Robbins was con
sidered the strongest for the state,
and therefore was tried first.
Nick Wheatley, brother Of Rufe
Wheatley. is also jointly indicted for
the killing OF both Robbins and Way
casey, but has never had a trial as
it became evident from the first trial
Of the case that he was not armed
at the time.
Rufe Wheatley was surrounded by
Walter and Nick Wheatley, brothers,
and Judge Thurston 2. Farmer coun-
sell when the jury filed in. Foreman
Cooper read the verdict and Judge
Gotham thanked the Jury for the court
service. Wheatley moved forward
and shook hands cordially with each,
thanking them for the consideration
they had given the case.
The defense was conducted by Col
George W. Murphy. who probably IS
without, peer Ia the criminal law
practice in the country and by Coun-
ty Judge Thurs-on p Farmer. Prose
cutting Attorney J. B. Wood was as
sisted in the prosecution OF the case
BY NJ. S. Cobb
The speeches by counsel We're list
ened to BY a great throng that filled
the courtroom to capacity. Attorney
NJ s. Cobb opened for the state and
outlined the evidence, making strong
plea for a conviction under the law
and evidence as interpreted By him.
Judge Farmer followed, and his argu-
ment was none the less forceful and
appealing than those Of the older and
experienced lawyers in the case. He
gave most attention to a delineation
of tile evidence, emphasizing the fea-
lures to establish that the shooting
had been In defense OF self. Colonel
Murphy made one of the most beau
tiful and appealing addresses OF his
career. He touched on the evidence as
to the detail OF the trouble that just
preceded the shooting, and interpreted
the whole of the action Of Rufe
Wheatley as nothing but the actions
of father in the interest Of a son.
Judge Wood closed the case for the
state with powerful plea for tho
stern enforcement of the law as he
saw it should apply, and urged q con-
vIction with all the vigor and enthus-
iasm Of which he is Characteristic

Senior Braniff is said to have told
the reyolutionists that the government
was disposed to grant everything de
manded provided they would make 1t
possible for President Diaz TO retire
decorously and without the humilia-
ton of public statement. Some OF
the rebel leaders declared in reply
that the condition OF the country was
such that nothing but a public state
ment from President Dlaz would ap-
pease the people
Carbajal in an interview said he
was still optimistic about peace. He
admitted that the rebels demands had
been transmitted by him to the gov.
ernment. but that he had received no
instructions in his credentials to dis
cuss the question OF the Diaz resigna
ton.
He gave the ins~ression That while
he had not asked for instructions on
the SUBJECT that transmitting the re-
hels' demands he had refused to con-
tinue negotiations because the govern
ment of its own Initiative had not ex-
tended his instructions to cover that
point.

The Sentinel=record., 1911-05-07

Jr, the leader of the revolution, and
the other gentlemen commissioned Tor
it, that 1t is impossible as | express
ed to you in person for me to con-
tinue the negotiations on the basis,
which you We're disposed to place be-
fore me in the conference held on the
afternoon of May 4, for reasons OF
patriotism and high political conve-
nience, which sustain the attitude as
sumed by me in that particular"
Immediately upon its receipt in the
Madero headquarters, Dr.. Gomez sent
this note to Judge Carbajal:
referring to your note of today,
in which you make known that it is
not possible for you to continue the
negotiations on the basis we proposed
on the afternoon of May 4, | am
pleased to call your attention to the
fact that in the last conference it was
agreed that you would give to the
government you represent an account
of our proposition to which you would
make known reply the next day
For that reason. and not having re-
ply. | called it to your attention in
my note of this morning. Observing
the first matter to which you make
reference in your note, l acknowledge
the fact that peace negotiations have
been suspended
Just whether Judge Carbaajl actual
ly transmitted to the Mexican govern
ment the proposition made by the re-
bells that President Diaz announce his
intention to resign was not then den
nitely confirmed. The rebel leaders
were then and now of the opinion that
the government did not wish to ac-
knowledge, out of courtesy to Diaz,
that it had entertained such a propo-
sition.
Every one in the insurrecto camp is
preparing for the reopening of hos
tilities. Even some of the rebel polit-
icai chiefs donned khaki uniforms in
readiness for active service.
While General Madero had tacitly
let it be known that he will not at
tack Juarez tonight, General Navar-
ro's garrison tonight is scouting the
hills in anticipation of an insurrecto
advance.
The federals have fortified them
selves well and believe they can easily
withstand the rebel attack. The reyo-
lutionists are scattered in the hills,
which surround Juarez. They have
dug many trenches and tonight are in
camp waiting for orders, which are
expected tomorrow, to move.
Judge Carbaajl it was said tonight,
intends to return to Mexico City. DR..
Gomez. confidential agent of the
revolutionists in the United States
said tonight that it was not unlikely
that he would return to his post in
Washington.
The prospect for a peaceful agree
emnt has suddenly faded from view
and through some of the unofficial
go -betweens have not ceased their
efforts. the revolutionists believe their
only alternative is to fight.

SHOULD NOT FAIL
TO SEE REGISTER
Voters Cautioned as to Duty on
Last Day Before the
Election.
MANY NAMES ARE DROPPED
Judges Issue Warning in View OF
Alleged Irregularities at Time
of Primary.

The next day of registration, prior
to the first general election under the
commission form of municipal govern
ment occurs, March 2S-one week
from tomorrow.
1t is important that every voter
should register on this occasion,
which is the last opportunity before
election. this in view of the fact that
at the registration day last Tuesday
the judges in many of the precincts
carried over only the names of those
who they were absolutely sure were
voters of the respective precincts.
MANY NAMES DROPPED.
They dropped all who were known
to have moved or passed away and
where there were questions as to boni
fide voters. AS is known, following
the recent primary there were rum
ors Of illegal voting in certain of the
precincts, in one locality for instance
II men having voted from one place
where it was known there was but
one legal vote. The names of all
these alleged fioaters were dropped by
the election judges, and if those so
voting under suspension appear on
election day it will be necessary for
them to swear their votes in.
WELL TO USE CAUTION.
In the fear that some of the legal
voters may have been inadvertently
dropped in the cleaning up of the lists
the judges urge that all voters see
that their names are duly recorded
the next registration day, which will
be one week from tomorrow
