Future City Building
Depends on Education

Baltimore, Md, Nov. %. The
building of the future city is not In
our hands, but in the brains and
hearts of Americas children" said
Walter D. Moody, managing director
Of the Chicago plan commission, at
the conference on city planning held
here yesterday as part of the SEES
sions of the American Civic Asso-
citation.
TT Is not opposition which retards
city betterment work in America"
said Mr.. Moody, but rather it is non
education and indifference. The so
luton OF an the major problems of
the American city lies In the educa-
ton Of our children to a realization
Of their responsibilities as the future
owners of our cities. The regenera-
ton of the American city must come
from the efforts and the Wills of an
educated and civically enlightened cit
izenship"
"Chicago's efforts to educate chill
dren In city building, said Mr.. Moody
had resulted in turning out 10000
city planning enthusiasts every year. -"

versed by the court of criminal appeals
on the ground that the trial judge did
not properly define murder in his
charge to the Jury. After another trial
the case again came before the court
of criminal appeals on June %, 1903,
and a question as to the legality OF
the appointment Of the trial judge was
the ground for setting aside the YER
dict and again remanding the case for
new trial. The fifth trial of the case
resulted is no verdict as to penalty,
one juror standing out for life impris-
onment, while the others demanded the
death penalty.
Owing to the strong feeling against
Oates in this county the authorities
considered It advisable to remove him
to some place of safety. For time he
was kept in the Cleburne jail and then
taken to the Ellis county jail in Waxa-
hachie, where he is now awaiting his
execution.
When the Oates case came up for
It's sixth trial in this county, Judge
Robert B. Seay of the criminal district
court Of Dallas county. acting upon his
own motion, transferred the case to
Ellis county. The sixth trial again re-
suited In the conviction Of the pris-
oner and a sentence Of death. Once
more an appeal was taken and the
court Of appeals granted a new trial
upon the ground that the verdict Of
the jury did not specify the degree Of
murder Of which Oates had been found
guilty.
The seventh and last trial. which
took place in waxahachie. resulted, on
November 4, 1911, in verdict Of guilty
OF murder in the first degree and
sentence of death. A motion for re-
hearing was refused by the court Of
criminal appeals on October 1e Of the
present year and the date of the exc
cution was set for next week. In the
lower courts four Judges. In two differ

new subdivisions of a city should be

guard their desirability as residence
centers.
Problems of city planning rest pri-
marily upon the street system" said

criminal court practice in vogue in this
country, to delay the course of jus
tice by recourse to legal bubbles over
mere technicalities, the case has prob
ably no equal in American court his
tory.
Sol Aronoff, the victim OF the crime,
and his wife kept small grocery store
near the railroad tracks in this city.
On the night of the murder Burrell
Oates, Holly Van and Frank McCue,
the latter two white men, entered Aron-
offs store and held up the proprietor.
While they we're robbing the man, Mrs.
Aronoff entered the store and fired
at the men. The robbers fired several
shots and one Of these killed Aronoff.
A few days after the murder the three
men were arrested and charged with
the murder of Aronoff. Vann was
convicted Of murder and hanged for
his crime. McCue became states evil
dence and escaped punishment.
Oates had no funds to employ an
attorney and when his trial came up
in the Dallas court, the judge appoint
ed A. s. Basket, a young lawyer,
against the latter's protests, to defend
the negro. Ever since that time Bias
kett has been in sole charge of the
defense and the fight he made for his
client has attracted wide attention and
will go down in the history of criminal
jurisprudence as one of the most re.
markable examples of forensic skill
and perseverance.
The first trial Of Oates resulted in
his conviction and sentence to death.
An appeal was taken to the court of
criminal appeals and the case was re-
manded for new trial on April IL,
1908, on account of an irregularity in
drawing the names of jurors.
At the second trial Oates was again
convicted and sentenced to death.
Again an appeal was taken and on May
Q, 1906, the criminal court Of appeals
granted a new trial because the trial
judge had failed to instruct the jury
in his charge that if the wife shot her
husband by mistake the prisoner was
not guilty Of murder.
Oates was again tried and convicted,
but on May IS, 1907, the case was re.
