TRANSCRIPT II MAALEY
Case RECEIVED HERE
Another Murder Case from Dallas
County Filed in the District
Court of Ellis County.

District Clerk Lem Wray has re-
ceived from the district clerk at
Dallas the transcript In the case Of
the state against Sergeant J.. d.
Marley, charged by indictment with
murder in connection with the kill
ing of L. Richenstein In Dallas two
or three years ago. Marley WAS a
member of the National Guards
company of Dallas and was on duty
with the company during a visit OF
President Taft to Dallas. He is 2c-
cused of running bayonet through
the body of young Richenstein.
The case has been tried once in
Dallas and the defendant was found
guilty of murder In the first degree.
His punishment was fixed at a life
term in the penitentiary. The case
went up to the court of criminal APP
peals and was reversed solely be-
cause the trial court did not grant
the defendants application for a
change of venue. When the case was
set for another trial in Dallas the
court on it's own motion transferred
the case to Ellis county. Then the
attorneys for the defense contested
this action of the court and moved
that the change of venue be with
drawn and the case tried in Dallas
This was overruled by the court.

of Alalbrouk in the song to Marlborough,
with his bad-tempered wife Sarah Jennings
as the lady who looked out from the tower.
He called it the death of the Invincible
Marlborough" and soon all Flanders was
lampooning the great Duke to the old air.
They sang it:
Marlborough, the prince of commanders,
Has gone to the war in Flanders.
His fame's like A1exander's-
But when will he come homee
He won't come home till morning,
He won't come home till morning,
He won't come home till morning,
Till daylight doth appear.
Napoleon himself has sung the song; in
fact, 1T was a favorite with the Emperor.
He used to hum it as he mounted his famous
white horse. 1t is told that he sung it as he
crossed the River Nicmen when setting out
on his Russian campaign of 1912. He sang
it again at St. Helena just before his death.
1t was during a conversation with De las
Casas that the Emperor praised the Duke of
Marlborough with his military genius and
finally said, "But what thing is ridicule.
1t fastens upon everything, even victory
and then he sang under his breath and to
himself
Marlborough, the prince of commanders,
Has gone to the war in Flanders
In the Battle Symphony, Beethoven uses
the same air for the symbol of the French
army.
There is a man, DR.. John AIahoney, who
believes that the tune was brought from
Palestine by the Crusaders. At any rate, it
was sung by minstrels and troubadours at
that time. If that is SO, it must have been
familiar to King Richard Ccrur de Lion, who
was both Crusader and troubadour. You
remember the story of how he was found in
prison in Austria by Blondel singing beneath
his window?
